Zimbabwe’s higher and tertiary education institutes (HTEIs) are key in HIV/AIDS and GBV prevention amongst young adults, but health services are limited and inadequate. Continuing the successful partnership with UNESCO, Phase 2 of the O3+ project will expand support to all 52 HTEIs to promote safer campuses and to institutionalize student health and wellbeing to improve sexual and reproductive and mental health of students.

| Hintergrund | Despite significant strides made in the past two decades, Zimbabwe’s HIV/AIDS preva-lence rate remains high at 11.6%, with young females affected 6 times more than males. Gender inequalities also contributed to an increase in the national teenage pregnancy rate, from 9% in 2016 to 22% in 2023. 1 in 3 women have experienced gender based or sexual violence from the age of 15 years. Zimbabwe’s Higher and Tertiary Education Institutions (HTEIs) enroll over 153’000 students across 52 public institutions and play a pivotal role in preventing HIV/AIDS, GBV and unintended pregnancies amongst young adults. Yet there is limited provision of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, GBV, and inadequate mental health support. |
| Ziele | Strengthen Zimbabwe’s health system by institutionalizing comprehensive, gender-responsive and youth-friendly health and well-being services across all public higher and tertiary education institutes. |
| Zielgruppen | 153’000 students enrolled across Zimbabwe’s Higher and Tertiary Educations Institutes Management and staff of all 52 HTEIS National councils for higher and tertiary education (ZIMCHE and TESC) |
