SENSITIZATION TO ALL STUDENTS ON THE O3 PLUS PROJECT AND RADA APP

Dear Students,

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in partnership with the University of Nairobi and Mt. Kenya University are implementing the pilot phase of the Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future (O3 Plus) project promoting health and wellbeing among students in institutions of higher learning.

The overall goal of the UNESCO’s O3 Plus project is to ensure that young people in higher and tertiary education institutions in the Eastern and Southern Africa realize positive health, education and gender equality outcomes through sustained reductions in new HIV infections, unintended pregnancy and gender based violence. The project being implemented in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe aims at enabling young people to reach their full educational potential and contribute more effectively to the development of their countries and region as graduates, professionals and young leaders.

As part of implementation of the Pilot phase of the UNESCO O3 plus project, the School of Journalism and Corporate Affairs Office have developed podcast messages aligned to the key project themes and students are encouraged to listen in to these informative and educative messages.

The O3 Plus podcasts can be accessed through this link,https://anchor.fm/university-of-nairobi

Students are also requested to download the RADA UoN App, a student developed mobile health application developed with support from UNESCO to help students access information about sexual and reproductive health, professional counseling and peer counseling services and a helpline when in an emergency situation within the University.

Please download the RADA App through this Google Playstore link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radauon.radauon2
