Children and Youth Dynamics in UNICEF Lesotho’s HIV-Nutrition Initiative

An analytical dive into participatory paradigms

Highlights

Lesotho’s three-year HIV-nutrition intervention (2019-2022) spearheaded by UNICEF Lesotho set forth a determined agenda to optimize health and nutrition outcomes for women and children, notably those affected by HIV/AIDS. Covering all 10 districts and 69 community councils, the project aimed to dismantle barriers hindering access to nutrition and HIV/AIDS services, fortify healthcare infrastructures, and elevate the quality-of-service delivery. Against this backdrop, this analytical study aims to elucidate the participatory dynamics of children and youth throughout the project’s continuum, from its conceptual stages to its comprehensive evaluation.
