Report on Rapid End-of-Project Evaluation on FutureLife-Now!
Between August and November 2024, a rapid evaluation of the FutureLife-Now! Programme was conducted to assess its achievements, outcomes, and contributions towards its objectives. The evaluation found the FutureLife-Now! Programme to effectively achieve its intended objectives, with notable successes across health, education, and climate resilience initiatives. The programme significantly increased adolescent access to youth-friendly HIV, SRHR, and ART adherence support through school-based interventions, including referral systems, health jamborees, and Comprehensive Sexuality Education workshops.

FutureLife-Now! is a new regional programme that builds on the successful Care and Support for Teaching and Learning (CSTL) framework developed in the early 2000’s and that, in 2018, reached over 27 million of the region’s learners with support services. This innovative approach has strengthened the education sector’s ability to respond to the growing numbers of vulnerable children and youth in the region, by providing child and youth-friendly services in support of health, gender, migration, food security, violence and other challenges. By bringing together two critical elements for human development – education and health – and by building upon the systems’ strengthening and policy development that has taken place through CSTL, FutureLife-Now! aims to promote greater self-confidence and hope for the present and future among young people in the SADC region. A combination of activities that includes strengthened HIV education policies, enhanced Comprehensive Sexuality Education, access to youth-friendly HIV/SRHR services facilitated through schools, peer-support groups on health and other life challenges, and targeted programming for boys will contribute to the programme’s overall objective of reducing new HIV infections and increasing adherence to ART amongst children and youth in the SADC region.
