The Project goal of the Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future Zambia project is that Adolescents and young people in Zambia attain improved sexual and reproductive health and education outcomes through sustained declines in new HIV infections, early and unintended pregnancy, and gender-based violence. Underpinning the intervention is the provision of comprehensive sexuality Education (CSE) in schools within the school curriculum. CSE is a curriculum-based process of teaching and learning cognitive, social, emotional and physical aspects of sexuality in order to equip adolescents with Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes & Values enabling them to consider how their choices affect their own well-being and that of others; develop respectful social & sexual relationship; Understand and ensure the protection of their rights throughout their lives; and ultimately realize health, well-being & dignity. The main objectives of the project are as follows; 1. To increase adolescent boys’ and girls’ access to good quality CSE programmes that integrate content on HIV, Gender Based Violence (GBV), prevention of Early and Unplanned Pregnancies (EUPs) and child marriage. 2. To create safer, healthier, and inclusive school and community environments that are free from GBV, bullying, and discrimination. 3. To support the prevention and management of EUPs. 4. To secure and sustain community support for CSE and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services and promote greater engagement of men and boys. 5. To expand knowledge and evidence base on CSE for planning and implementation. The main target population are in-school adolescents from grades 5 through 12 (approximately 10-19 years old). UNESCO aims to reach at least 2 million learners in grade 5-12; Secondary targets groups include 90,000 in-service teachers; 15,000 Pre- service teachers and 9,600 head teachers. The project is also expected to reach 4,250,000 people (parents, guardians, religious leaders, young people out of school) through mass and social media platforms. The project will be implemented countrywide but with more intensive activities in focus provinces Central, Eastern, North-Western, Lusaka, and Southern provinces. Most of these have high rates of teen pregnancies, school drop outs and child marriage. While Lusaka is chosen due to high rates of HIV and STIs among young people and its capacity to play a lead role in CSE implementation
