UNODC:Improving SRHR outcomes of women & youth in prison settings in Sub-SA 2016 UNODC - Förbättra SRHR kvinnor och ungdomar i fängelse inställningar i Sub-SA UNODC's 3-year programme aims at improving SRHR outcomes of women and young people in prison settings in Sub-Saharan Africa in nine countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: Angola, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe). The problem will be addressed through supporting the adoption and operationalisation of the UN Minimum Standards and Rule in relation to all prisoners retain the basic inalienable human rights that apply to all human beings, including the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. These standards and rule include; the Nelson Mandela Rules, the Bangkok Rules, the Beijing Rules as well as in international instruments such as the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, that inter alia require adolescent prisoners and detainees to be separated from adult prisoners. UNODC's program som skall implemtenteras under 2017-19 syftar till att förbättra den sexuella och reproduktiva hälsan och rättigheterna för kvinnor och ungdomar i fängelser i Afrika söder om Sahara i nio länder söder om Sahara i Afrika: Angola, Lesotho, Malawi, Moçambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia och Zimbabwe). UNODC skall göra detta genom att stödja länderna att anta och implementera FN:s miniminormer och regelverk för att säkra mänskliga rättigheter i fängelsemiljöer. Denna fas fokuserar på kvinnor och unga personer i fängelse. The improvement of the prison setting conditions within the minimum requirements set out in the UN Standard and Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, and other international and regional standards and norms will be measured by expected outcomes;
Objective 1: Strengthening the capacity of national governments to put in place legal, policy and strategy instruments that adhere to UN Minimum standards of HIV/AIDS and SRHR for prison populations.
Objective 2: National capacity built to enable adoption and implementation of measures necessary for national adherence to HIV/ AIDS and SRHR minimum standards for women and adolescent prisoners.

There is no outstanding disbursement to the intervention
- The cooperation with UNODC has generally flowed smoothly. The partner showed capacity to adhere to agreement conditions. Except for financial statements, narrative progress reports have been timely presented. Because certified statements are generating by a UN “UMOJA” system, UNODC is unfortunately drawn into the system’s shortcoming of delayed submission of statements.
- UNODC informed Sida of realised financial irregularities halfway through final implementation period of the intervention. Presently, Sida awaits a UNODC internal audit report on the matter.
- The partner revealed failure to successfully commission an external end of programme evaluation within granted no cost extension period Jan 2020 to April 2020. Sida has requested for details in the expected revised annual progress report for period 1 January 2019 to 30 April 2020.
- Important to note is that, there has been an unfortunate turnover of a few key staff at both, regional and national levels. Hopefully, it will not affect UNODC’s ability to present “good enough” quality of awaited reports.
