Resumen
Descripción
Zambia is among countries with high
HIV/AIDS prevalence, 16 percent among adult population aged
15 to 49 years. Prevalence among urban population is twice
that of rural dwellers, 23 percent for urban and 11 percent
for rural residents. Like other African countries, youth and
women are the groups highly infected and affected by
HIV/AIDS. As part of the scaling up effort, the World Bank
(WB) commissioned a local consultant to undertake this
exercise, focusing mainly on the capacity building needs of
youth-serving organizations, civil society organizations,
including youth organizations, sectoral ministries working
on youth-focused HIV/AIDS initiatives. In this exercise
young people and youth organizations were targeted as key
sources of information. Specifically, the objectives of the
assessment are: a) assess the current state of programming
for youth-focused HIV activities in the country; b)
determine the level of funding for youth-focused activities
and effectiveness of youth-focused activities within the
Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Programs (MAP) and other major HIV
programs; c) identify factors that may foster or hinder
attention to youth in the MAP and other HIV interventions;
d) define priority capacity building needs among Civil
Society Organizations (CSOs) working mainly on youth-focused
HIV/AIDS interventions; and e) identify potential
implementing partners who will carry out capacity building
activities. There is increasing recognition of the
devastating effects of HIV/AIDS among youths and for this
reason, there is growing consensus that youths must be made
key players and equal participants in the fight against the
pandemic. National policies and programmes are now paying
attention to and recognising the critical role of youths in
the national response to the HIV/AIDS situation.
