Windhoek: The One Economy Foundation has launched the iBreakFree Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) web application, a digital platform aimed at improving adolescents' and young people's access to sexual and reproductive health information and services. According to Namibia Press Agency, the foundation announced in a media statement on Thursday that the application was developed under the iBreakFree Project with funding from the Global Fund through the Ministry of Health and Social Services. The platform provides youth-friendly information on HIV prevention, HIV testing, sexually transmitted infections, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), family planning, sexual and gender-based violence, and mental health. It also features self-screening tools to help users assess their risk and provides referrals to appropriate healthcare services. The foundation stated, "By bringing health information, self-screening, referrals and support together in one place, the iBreakFree SRH web appl ication makes it easier for young people to access the help they need, when they need it." All personal information shared through the application is treated confidentially and protected in accordance with applicable data privacy and security standards. To improve access for young people without internet connectivity or smart devices, the foundation has established two SRH Digital Hubs in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture. The hubs are located at the Eenhana Multi-Purpose Youth Centre in the Ohangwena Region and the Outapi Multi-Purpose Youth Centre in the Omusati Region, where young people can access the web application, use digital technologies and develop practical skills. The foundation explained, "Together, the web application and Digital Hubs offer an integrated approach that combines health information, digital inclusion and skills development, empowering young people to make informed decisions, access essential services and realise their full pote ntial." The initiative supports Pillar Two of Namibia's National Youth Policy (2020-2030), which promotes equitable access to health information, services and opportunities. Future plans include expanding the platform to provide digital literacy resources, curriculum vitae writing support, online job search guidance, and information on education, skills development and employment opportunities. The foundation added, "This broader vision seeks to empower young people with the knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to improve their wellbeing, enhance their employability and build sustainable futures." The One Economy Foundation encouraged adolescents and young people aged 13 to 35 years to use the platform as a trusted source of sexual and reproductive health information and support.
