Growing up with Shuga

About

A reflection of the Shuga programme. In 2021, through a combination of digital interventions and virtual outreach, up to 495,000 young people across the country were reached with information and
services.

Young Batswana are inspired by Shuga Radio to have autonomy over their life decisions. Pre- and post listenership surveys, conducted using interactive voice response, showed an increased number of adolescents and young people recognize the risks of age-disparate relationships and transactional sex, feel more confident about reporting sexual abuse, and are more likely to seek HIV testing services.
