Project Information

Project Name:AIDS prevention, Positive Living and Empowerment (APPLE)
Project Description:
APPLE aims to slow the spread of HIV/AIDS and mitigate its impact on those infected and affected by reducing HIV infection among young people aged 10 to 24 years and mobile populations in two transport corridors in Mozambique and Malawi. The project strengthens existing health systems and makes them more youth-friendly and accessible to women. Activities also support an innovative system of integrated HIV networks that will provide testing, counseling, care and referral services. In addition, APPLE will implement an effective BCC strategy and assist CBOs and FBOs, including PLWHA associations. Operational research on gender barriers to behavior change, stigma and discrimination will help guide the project's advocacy strategy. In recognition of their higher risk (biologically, economically and socially) to the pandemic, women and girls will receive special attention.
