Background
VillageReach’s DREAMS Program, CCPF for Adolescents, aimed to improve adolescent girls and young women’s access to age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health information, services and commodities. The program worked in conjunction with VillageReach’s existing program, Chipatala cha pa Foni – Health Center by Phone, as a youth-friendly health service and broaden the influence of the Pharmacy Assistant Training Program to help build local facility-based youth friendly health services and supply chain management capacity.
