TACKLING THE CTS NEXUS: IPAS PILOTS HOLISTIC APPROACH IN MANDIMBA DISTRICT TO EMPOWER GIRLS   Child marriage, teenage pregnancy, and school dropout (CTS) are deeply interconnected challenges that continue to affect the lives of millions of girls globally. These issues reinforce one another, creating barriers that prevent girls from achieving their full potential. To address these complex challenges, Ipas Mozambique has introduced the CTS Nexus approach — a holistic framework that examines the connections between these phenomena that are often addressed in isolation.      📊 The situation in Mozambique remains alarming:   ⛔ 46% of girls marry before 18   ⛔40% become pregnant before 18   ⛔Only 50% complete primary school, 20% secondary, and 2% reach higher education     This calls for urgent, coordinated action‼️   With funding from the Embassy of Sweden in Mozambique and Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada, Ipas Moçambique has launched a pilot of the CTS Nexus approach in Mandimba District, Niassa, with strong support from the district government and collaboration with civil society, local communities, and government institutions to work together in prevention and response.   On October 16–17, Ipas and the CBO Clean My Village facilitated Mozambique’s first-ever CTS Nexus Community Dialogue in Mandimba. The event brought together 70 participants — including community leaders, teachers, police, health professionals, youth representatives, and government officials — to discuss how to work collectively to protect the health, rights, and futures of girls.     "This gives us a platform to reflect in depth on the problems that we have come to discussing and these are serious problems in our district of Mandimba When we speak about early pregnancies, when we speak about child marriage, we're talking about the dignity of our lives. We're talking about life, about basic human rights" stated His Excellency Emídio Benjamim Xavier, Administrator of Mandimba District, in his opening speech.   The outcomes of this dialogue will inform a district-level response plan to ensure that the CTS Nexus approach is locally driven, inclusive, and sustainable. Ipas hope is that this pilot will serve as a model to scale up across Mozambique, transforming the lives of countless girls nationwide.     #GenderEquality #SRHR #GirlsEmpowerment #ChildMarriage #SchoolDropout #TeenagePregnancy #CTSNexus Ipas

SWEDISH AMBASSADOR VISITS IPAS MOZAMBIQUE INTERVENTIONS IN NIASSA PROVINCE As part of the project “Creating a lasting momentum for gender equality and human rights in Mozambique through improved access to and respect for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), including safe abortion”, funded by the Embassy of Sweden, Ipas Mozambique welcomed the first visit of the new Swedish Ambassador to Mozambique, Andres jato. The Ambassador visited project interventions in Niassa Province, accompanied by the Deputy Head of Cooperation, Luisa Fumo. With the aim of gaining a closer understanding of the project’s activities across its different components — health system and community engagement — the visit took place in Ngauma District, including the Massangulo Health Center. During the mission, the delegation from the Embassy and Ipas paid a courtesy visit to the local authorities of Ngauma District, including the representative of the District Administrator, the District Commander of the Mozambique Republic Police (PRM), the District Services of Education, Youth and Technology (SDEJT), and the District Services of Health, Women and Social Action (SDSMAS). The delegation also interacted with activists from FOFEN, a community-based organization trained by Ipas Mozambique, who demonstrated the connection between the community and the health facility during a community talk on sexual and reproductive health and rights held at the Massangulo Health Center. The discussion included conversations about different norms and stigmas surrounding abortion, and the Embassy team was able to witness firsthand the importance of working to challenge these norms with girls, women, boys, and men to create positive change — seeing the direct impact of the project’s actions on the lives of women and girls. The program also included interactions with health providers trained by Ipas, aimed at observing the quality and availability of services for comprehensive abortion care (CAC), family planning (FP), and gender-based violence (GBV) response. #AmbassadorVisit #Niassa #ipasmozambique #SwedenInMz Embassy of Sweden in Mozambique
