Safeguard Young People (SYP) - Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)
The Safeguard Young People programme (SYP) reduces HIV infections and improves sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people aged 10 to 24. SYP supports the adoption, domestication and implementation of regional policies. It helps increase young people’s knowledge, skills and agency while also increasing equitable access to quality, integrated SRHR, HIV and gender based violence (GBV) services. SYP has been implemented by UNFPA since 2013.

Contesto |
Although the eastern and southern Africa (ESA) region is progressing well on adolescent and youth health outcomes—including the establishment of strategies and frameworks, delivery of trainings and adoption of policies that support access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services—more remains to be done to improve the SRH status of adolescents and youth. Boys and young men continue to have unmet SRHR needs; COVID has fundamentally altered how countries think about delivering health services; and recurrent climate-related hazards continue to cause negative health outcomes. The SYP programme is an influential regional project for SDC, having contributed to policy breakthroughs, consensus-building and meaningful domestication of regional initiatives. The SDC Cooperation Office Harare will finance an exit phase of support to the initial eight SYP countries, increasing the amount of overlap between longstanding SYP countries and the four countries added in 2021. Institutionalisation of key components, e.g. integration of mental health, climate change adaptation and, economic empowerment will improve sustainability and allow for the completion of unfinished business that was disrupted by COVID-19. UNFPA’s strong convening power also gives SDC critical access to the Ministries of Health and Youth in Zimbabwe and Zambia, which can be leveraged for the design of future interventions to strengthen health systems in the two countries as part of the new two-country programme. |
