About bumb'INGOMSO HIV Prevention Project

bumb’INGOMSO – isiXhosa for ‘Mould the future’ – is a multi-faceted HIV-prevention project that combines behavioural, biomedical, social and economic interventions to support, motivate and inspire adolescent girls and young women to reduce high-risk behaviour and make healthy life choices, in order to reduce the incidence of HIV infections. Launched in 2016, bumb’INGOMSO addresses the individual, interpersonal and structural factors that drive the vulnerability of girls and young women through programmes that include leadership development, tackling gender-based violence, improving the delivery of youth-friendly health services and connecting young people to economic opportunities. bumb’INGOMSO is a development project of the National Department of Health (NDoH) and is co-financed by the Federal Republic of Germany through KfW and DGMT, which is also the executing agent. It is currently implemented across 18 wards in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality and Amathole District Municipality in partnership with the Small Projects Foundation, Beyond Zero, Masimanyane Women’s Rights International and Masibumbane Development Organisation.
