A.Introduction
Pact is an International NGO with offices throughout the world with a mission to enable systematic solutions that allow those who are poor and marginalized to earn a dignified living, be healthy and take part in the benefits that nature provides. Pact accomplishes this by strengthening local capacity, forging effective governance systems and transforming markets into a force for development.
ACHIEVE project is a five-year, USAID-funded global project to reach and sustain HIV epidemic control among pregnant and breastfeeding women, adolescents, infants, and children.
ACHIEVE’s activities in Rwanda aim to reduce vulnerability and HIV incidence among orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW), contributing to HIV epidemic control. ACHIEVE program provides support to improve the health and wellbeing of OVC and their families as related to the risk of HIV and violence. ACHIEVE also supports DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe) programming to empower AGYW to reduce their risk of HIV, sexual violence, and to become more economically independent and resilient. Across these objectives, ACHIEVE integrates capacity development (CD) approaches so that local partners, health providers, communities, and beneficiaries can manage and sustain OVC and DREAMS activities.

Implementation of ACHIEVE project activities in Rwanda is technically coordinated by Pact, Jhpiego and Wi-HER, while service delivery is implemented by two local partners –DUHAMIC-ADRI in Huye and Nyarugenge districts, and YWCA Rwanda in Kayonza and Kicukiro districts. It is in this line that ACHIEVE is planning to support out-of-school OVC and AGYW with Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) scholarships and start-up kits as an opportunity to acquire and apply new skills/knowledge which should lead to self-employment and productive income generating activity. By providing TVET training and start-up kits, the beneficiaries and their entire families will have improved prospects for generating income and achieving financial stability, ultimately helping to reduce risk-taking behaviors among AGYW and OVC beneficiaries.
