A case study of Kwakha Indvodza in Eswatini: “Building a Man”

This case study of the Kwakha Invodza Programme in Eswatini is intended to showcase emerging practices that can inform the development of regional and country interventions to strengthen sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) programming for men and boys in East and Southern Africa. UNFPA in Eswatini, with support from the 2gether 4 SRHR Programme, partnered with KI from 2019 to 2023 and employed a holistic approach, which goes beyond mere awareness-raising to actively engage men and boys in meaningful dialogue and skill-building activities. By integrating social and behaviour change strategies with entrepreneurship and income generation, KI empowers young men to actively participate in their health and well-being.
