Resume
This intervention is an intermediary strategy-, capacity- and partnership development intervention, focused on Positive Vibes’ development of a strategy and approaches for its work with Adolescent and Young People (AYP, the 15-24 age group) in Namibia, with a focus on marginalised and stigmatised groups, e.g. young LGBT individuals, young Sex Workers (SW’s) and young People Living with HIV (PLHIV). In support of this future work, the intervention will also aim to enhance PV’s resource mobilisation capacity for its own work and its capacity and methods to support partner organisations in their resource mobilisation work. This is an intermediary intervention in three ways, in that 1) it links PVs past, albeit limited, AYP work with a strategy for a comprehensive programme approach in the future, 2) builds on PVs previous resource mobilisation training and support work, taking it to a level where it can be replicated and institutionalised, and finally 3) it links PVs and Spor Medias long, but ad hoc and mostly personal collaboration, to a strategic and institutionalised collaboration in the future.
