Organizational Network Analysis of AGYW Referrals in Botswana

The Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe (DREAMS) program, a public-private partnership, is being implemented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in two districts of Botswana to address the structural drivers that increase Adolescent Girls and Young Women's (AGYW) HIV risk, including poverty, gender inequality, GBV, and a lack of education. To support the implementation of DREAMS activities in Gaborone and Kweneng East, USAID contracted Data for Impact (D4I), which is funded by USAID and the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, to conduct a mixed-methods study in these districts to learn more about referral networks that provide AGYW with DREAMS-related services. D4I conducted an organizational network analysis (ONA) to map the referral network in use by DREAMS partners that provide the following services: HIV and GBV prevention, HIV testing, condom distribution and other family planning (FP) services, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), contraceptive services, post-GBV care services, and socioeconomic interventions.
