At this webinar Dr. Duby presented the findings from a qualitative study conducted between 2022 to 2024, as part of a formative community needs assessment, and an initial evaluation of the Imagine Programme, a Social Impact Bond intervention providing a comprehensive package of sexual and reproductive health services within school settings. This innovative approach aims to improve health outcomes for Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) in Grades 8 to 12 across 14 schools in the Moretele sub-district (North West Province), and the Newcastle sub-district (KwaZulu Natal). Dr. Duby also presented the outline of a proposed follow up evaluation to assess the acceptability and experiences of AGYW beneficiaries of the programme.
