Description

Abstract
Summary local malawian NGO development aid from people to people (dapp) is pleased to propose project loto langa, meaning 'my dream' (hereafter, project lola), in response to the CDC request for applications (RFA) strengthening access to high quality and comprehensive services targeting adolescent and young people in malawi through determined, resilient, aids-free mentored and safe (dreams) program under pepfar (CDC-RFA-GH22-2253). The purpose of project lola is to support the scale up of dreams activities through implementation of a comprehensive and high quality package of layered dreams interventions for agyw, sexual partners, parents and caregivers, and community members in blantyre district. Building on dapp's more than two decades of experience delivering locally-owned, community-based, high-quality HIV services for agyw in malawi, project lola has been carefully designed to achieve the intended long-term outcomes to significantly reduce HIV incidence among agyw, improve their socio-economic status, and increase favorable attitudes towards gender equity. In its first year, project lola will cover 15,000 agyw enrolled in dreams clubs who will receive a standardized social asset building curriculum in addition to layered dreams interventions and client-centered clinical services tailored to their individual needs. To address harmful gender norms, 7,500 sexual partners will receive HIV and violence prevention sessions while 8,000 parents and caregivers of agyw will be enrolled in an evidence-based parenting program that has proven effective at improving parent-child communication about sexual risk reduction and GBV. Project lola is grounded in the understanding that achieving transformational and lasting change in the HIV risk of agyw requires a radical shift in how HIV programs are implemented. To address the complex set of challenges facing agyw in blantyre, participating girls will be organized, empowered and supported to play a leading role in the project's design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation from day one. Simultaneously, sexual partners of participating agyw, parents/caregivers, and community members will be mobilized to create an overall enabling environment that will reduce agyw's risk for HIV infection and will build a more inclusive community with opportunities for each girl to thrive. Placing agyw at the center of the project - conceptually and in implementation - will empower participating girls to reduce their own risk and start to build new opportunities for themselves towards a better future. Dapp - a local NGO with 25 years of experience implementing impactful, community-based health and education projects at scale by working in close collaboration with the government of malawi - has the organizational capacity, experienced staff, and strong stakeholder relationships required to effectively implement project lola, achieving its short-term, intermediate and long-term outcomes, especially reducing HIV incidence among agyw and assisting malawi to achieve epidemic control.
