Adolescent and Young Persons Programme

 Overview of Programme Services

The AYP Programme (2022 - 2025) offers a risk avoidance, age-tailored combination prevention programme for AYP aged 10-24 years in 14 priority sub-districts. The programme targets AYP (i.e.) AGYW, ABYM, ALHIV and Youth with Disabilities; in and out of school, but will not decline service provision to other populations who are engaged by the programme (i.e. members of the broader community). 

All PRs will conduct a situational analysis, functionality assessment (see Annex 4) and service mapping exercise for each sub-district to assist with expansion of the community safe spaces and establishing a reliable referrals directory. An AYP will be introduced to the programme through a number of entry points from where s/he would be receiving services via two main service components called the Core Service and Layered Services. S/he would first receive the Core Service and then follow a path of receiving additional services layered over time as required. The layered services are not necessarily provided in specific order but dependent on the risk and needs of the beneficiary. 

Importantly, a central principle of the AYP Programme is to ensure that there is collaboration and interaction with the other GF funded programmes and cross referrals and information flows at all levels, from programme management at PR level, to providing comprehensive and integrated services to AGYW in community across all 14 sub-districts. The description of the Core and Layered Services includes details of the settings, interventions and services as well as staff structures of sub-recipients who will implement the services.
