Mission and objectives
• UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. It contributes to peace and security by promoting international cooperation in education, sciences, culture, communication and information. UNESCO promotes knowledge sharing and the free flow of ideas to accelerate mutual understanding and a more perfect knowledge of each other’s lives. UNESCO’s programmes contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals defined in the 2030 Agenda, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015.

Context
• The Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future (O3) Zambia programme seeks to improve sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender, and education outcomes for adolescents and young people (AYP) in Zambia through sustained reductions in new HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), early and unintended pregnancy (EUP), and gender-based violence (GBV) by: 1. Increasing adolescents’ access to good quality comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) programmes that integrate content on HIV, GBV, EUP, and child marriage; 2. Creating safer, healthier, and inclusive school and community environments that are free from GBV, bullying, and discrimination; 3. Supporting the prevention and management of EUPs; 4. Securing and sustaining community support for CSE and SRHR services and promoting greater engagement of men and boys; 5. Expanding knowledge and the evidence base on CSE for planning and implementation. The O3 Zambia programme aims to reach at least 2 million learners in Grades 5-12; 90,000 in-service teachers; 15,000 pre-service teachers; and 9,600 head teachers. The programme is also expected to reach 4,250,000 parents, guardians, religious leaders, and young people out of school through mass and social media platforms. https://en.unesco.org/fieldoffice/abuja/o3programme.
