With Support from PEPFAR through USAID, Zimbabwe Health Interventions’ DREAMS-RISE program strengthens families and communities’ capacity to create safe, enabling, and supportive environments for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and adolescent boys and young men (ABYM) to contribute to the reduction of new HIV causal pathways. Zimbabwe Health Interventions (ZHI) uses this community mobilization behavior and norms change intervention as a systematic approach to engage community leaders to influence community action that promote safe and enabling environments for positive behavior change by reducing risks and vulnerabilities to HIV infection among adolescent girls and young women. It seeks to eliminate harmful social norms, strengthen, and reinforce positive norms and uses reflective dialogues that engage community groups across all levels of the community over an extended period of time to influence positive behavior change.
