Within this framework and as set out on 2017-2020 Country Programme Document,  working with government and other partners, UNFPA is implementing the joint UN national flagship programme “Rapariga Biz'' as the lead UN agency in collaboration with UNESCO, UNICEF and UN Women. The programme has been implemented in Nampula and Zambezia province from 2016-2020, and is currently in its transition phase with financial support from Sweden (main donor) and Canada. In 2018-2019,  DFID came onboard providing financial support to the learning agenda including the piloting of several new approaches, including in the area of male engagement. On that basis John Hopkins University was included as an implementing partner under UNFPA to develop and test a male mentorship package in targeted districts in close collaboration with the national CSO Rede Hopem.
