Governance & Participation in Public Life (G&PPL)
The 2023 highlighted progress on young women socio-economic resilience building focusing on the work done in Botswana, in Mpumalanga South Africa and in Eswatini (Shiselweni and Lubombo). In Botswana in Ledumadumane, Metsimotlhabe, Tsolamosese districts young women continued the Young Women for Life Movement (YWFLM) dialogues, involving 293 AGYW. In Botshwana these dialogues supported HIV/AIDS testing and treatment campaigns which saw 1268 men and women test with the help of mobile clinics from local health facilities and Botswana Family Welfare. Furthermore HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment campaigns reached respectively 628 and 578 men and women in the fourth quarter. This work is carried out in partnership with Mogoditshane District Gender office and the Village Development Committes operating in these districts to ensure the sustanability of these initaiatives.In South Africa, the Young Women for Life Movement (YWfLM) continued the HIV/AIDS awereness compaignes in 5 provinces , these are Gauteng, Western Cape, Mpumalanga, North West and Eastern Cape. During this quarter the Mpumalanga Province young women have not only added to the farming to include more Ha of maize, butternut and ground nuts, they have also started poultry farming with 1000 broilers (chiken) which are being sold in the local supermarkets. They are in talks with Mpumalanga Agriculture MEC to identify areas they can support of this In this initiative. Namibia could not complete the Young Women socio-economic resilience in the fourth quarter as the last tranche of funding from Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) was not received and work was postponed to 2024. In Eswatini, YWfLM dialogues continued in Shiselweni and many success stories of resilience identified, from young women poultry farmers to piggery owners.
