Introduction 1.1 Purpose UNICEF Eswatini Country Office commissioned an assignment entitled ‘Geographic and Programmatic Scoping for Adolescent Girls and Young Women HIV Programming in Three Constituencies/Tinkhundla in Eswatini’. The assignment was divided into two main areas of work, the first being a comprehensive literature review to be complemented by key informant interviews on the status of HIV and adolescent girls and young women with respect to: a) policy; b) funding and; c) programming in the country. The second was the scoping of three constituencies (namely Mahlangatja in Manzini Region; Mhlume in Lubombo Region and Somthongo in Shiselweni Region) in support to CANGO (Coordinating Assembly of NGOs) which is a Global Fund Principal Recipient and will be initiating a programme for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in the three Tinkhundla from October 2018. The scoping addressed the following objectives: i. Determine HIV, health, education, social services, gender-based violence (GBV) response, justice/police, community-based organizations based in the relevant geographical areas and their scope of work; ii. Assess existence of income-generating projects/initiatives involving AGYW; iii. Determine social/economic engagements of AGYWs (what occupies their time); and iv. Assess the extent to which there is a community support system that enables AGYW to access HIV and sexual and reproductive health- (SRH) related services. This Consolidated Report is the deliverable for the both parts of the assignment. 1.2 The CANGO Programme CANGO has been receiving funding from the Global Fund since 2016 as Principal Recipient representing civil society. This funding is mainly for an HIV prevention programme and is further distributed to sub-recipients who directly implement the programmes while CANGOs role is mainly around the management of the grant and the provision of technical support and guidance. A community programme designed for out-of-school youth is offered in 20 constituencies. The overall goal of the programme is to halt the spread of HIV and reverse its impact in Eswatini society. A special programme for AGYW aged 10–24 years is implemented in three high density, low income constituencies namely; Somntongo, Mahlangatja and Mhlume from the Shiselweni, Manzini and Lubombo regions, respectively. This 1 programme has two layers, the first layer is the Stepping Stone sessions which provide HIV prevention education and distribution of condoms. These sessions also act as basis to identify beneficiaries who qualify and are willing to be a part of the second layer, namely economic strengthening and education support. Through the economic strengthening, beneficiaries are taken through the WORTH Programme which is believed to provide economic freedom to the AGYWs, while the education support comes in the form of secondary education subsidies which are paid directly to the school. The expected immediate outcomes for these programmes are improved knowledge around HIV Testing Services (HTS) and increased service uptake for HTS and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) while the long-term objective is the reduction of new HIV infections among AGYW by 2022. Two sub-recipients (World Vision and Young Heroes) are responsible for the implementation of this programme and the target is to support 500 individuals with the education subsidies throughout the three years (2018−2021), 4000 individuals per year with the Stepping Stone sessions and 420 individuals/members for the WORTH groups. Other innovations include activities i which provide HTS services for

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The Swazi kingdom grew out of the pressures associated with competition for trade and for the rich resources of Shiselweni. While centred on this area it acquired some of its characteristic features - notably a regimental system, and the dominance of a Dlamini aristocracy. Around 1815 the Swazi came under pressure from the South, and were forced to colonise the land lying north of the Lusutfu. Here they remained for some years a nation under arms, as they plundered local peoples, and were themselves swept about by the currents of the Mfecane. In time a more settled administration emerged, as the aristocracy spread out from the royal centres at Ezulwini, and this process accelerated under Mswati as he subdued recalcitrant chiefdoms, and restructured the regiments.

Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), United States Agency for International Development (USAID); World Food Programme (WFP); Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO); GIZ; and UNICEF. <Please click here for the budget and here for the contacts> Summary: This operation update reflects the current situation and information available since the last operation update published in September 2020. The operation timeframe will be extended by one month to end on 31 May 2021 to allow for a final evaluation to be completed. Simultaneously, as needs persist and the funding gap in 2020 allowed to reach less than half of the targeted people in many places, extending the operation further beyond May is being discussed. Following discussions with the National Societies and estimates of needs and possible activities, a new operation update may be published to extend the timeframe or the Emergency Appeal may be revised should a change of activities be foreseen.

  • Thabani Thwala 0007581D Master of Arts (History
    The Politics of Placing Princes in Historical and Contemporary Swaziland Thabani Thwala 0007581d Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) of the University of Witwatersrand Supervisor: Professor Bonner Johannesburg 2013 1 Chapter 1: Introduction This research report is an exercise which seeks to understand centre-regional disputes, which are now nearly two centuries old, between the Swazi royal house, and the subordinate chiefdoms of the Magagula, Tfwala, Mabuza, all located in central Swaziland, and the Fakudze of Macetjeni in the Lubombo region. It seeks to investigate what has become an increasingly critical and controversial issue in Swazi society and Swazi politics: the relationship between princes and chiefs. It will also highlight the central importance of history, or at least historical assertion, in the assumption of political power in earlier and contemporary Swaziland. These issues have attracted some attention from scholars but not nearly as much as they deserve. Centre-regional relations between kings and subordinate chiefs are on the whole neglected in Swazi historiography. This thesis seeks to correct this anomaly by exploring local, regional, and national dynamics which strained the relationship between centre and region, and to show how the former has grappled with the problem of recalcitrant chiefs in a bid to retain its power position through suppression of the latter who have constantly sought to reclaim lost autonomy. The present history of Swaziland is one that glorifies the Dlamini dynasty and projects a one-sided picture of historical events in Swaziland. For instance, it is contended that Swaziland is a homogenous, democratic and peaceful country.
