Translating DREAMS into practice: Early lessons from implementation in six settings.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 'DREAMS Partnership' promotes a multi-sectoral approach to reduce adolescent girls and young women's (AGYW) vulnerability through a core package of interventions targeting multiple sources of HIV risk-to promote Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS) lives. Implementation of such multi-sectoral programmes is complex and requires adaptation to national and local contexts. We describe the early implementation of DREAMS in diverse settings, to identify lessons for the scale-up and replication of combination programmes for young people.

Methods

As part of evaluations underway in six DREAMS sites in three countries (Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe), we draw on process evaluation data collected from focus group discussions, key info
