READY+2 - Resilient, Empowered, Adolescents and Young people Phase II The READY+ Phase II builds on the outcomes and lessons learnt of the 1st phase of READY+ (2016-2020) led by Frontline AIDS and five implementing partners. The new project (2021-2026) aims to improve the life of 35,614 adolescents and young people living with or most affected by HIV (A <(>&<)>YPLHIV), especially those who are most vulnerable, to realise their sexual reproductive health and rights. READY+ is part of the overall Regional SRHR and HIV/AIDS programme in Southern Africa (2021-2026) and contributes to the aim: Young Vulnerable People (YVP) have improved quality of life, including SRHR <(>&<)> HIV outcomes, a strong sense of agency, freedom and the safety to make choices within an enabling environment at local, national and regional levels. The project will continue to work in eSwatini, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. In addition the activity expands advocacy activities to Angola, Malawi and Zambia. The four expected outcomes are: 1.   Resilient and empowered A<(>&<)>YPLHIV have increased knowledge and agency to make healthier choices about their bodies and their lives. 2.   Safe and supportive communities advance gender equality, including the sexual and reproductive health and rights and well-being of A <(>&<)>YPLHIV. 3.   Increased access to, and use of, high quality and integrated comprehensive HIV/SRHR, and mental health and well-being services by A <(>&<)>YPLHIV, that are responsive to their specific needs. 4.   Greater accountability of decision makers and policy makers to enhancing gender equality and protecting, promoting, and fulfilling the sexual and reproductive health and rights of A<(>&<)>YPLHIV. 5.   Resilient and empowered A<(>&<)>YPLHIV, especially those who are the most vulnerable, have improved skills and better options to secure their livelihoods.
