Background
Although Mozambique still has a low internet penetration, national mobile penetration rates show a steady increase in recent years. Currently, 74,3% of the population owns a mobile phone (Viamo, 2022). Furthermore, the country is one of the most heavily affected by the AIDS pandemic with poor access to HIV and SRHR information and services.
The topic of the training – development and use of websites for SRHR education and advocacy- is directly linked to the need for greater access to SRHR information and services for adolescents and young people. This is one of the priorities indicated for Mozambique, so that young people can make informed decisions about their lives.
Vibrações addresses issues that affect young people and adolescents in Mozambique, such as cases of sexual transmitted diseases, HIV, gender-based and domestic violence, premature or unwanted pregnancies, lack of correct information about contraceptives, among others. These topics are in line with the Mozambican country plan.
Objectives
As a nationwide youth brand, Vibrações aims to enhance Mozambican young people’s sexual health and reproductive rights by addressing their different needs in a youth-friendly way. This website together with the national youth helpline lays the foundation for a Mozambican Stepped Care model for SRHR.
In addition to website development skills, the trained staff also develop skills that are professionally relevant in this era of digitalisation.
The Stepped Care Model
The Stepped Care model for sexual and reproductive health provides a non-judgmental approach that 
is person-centred and responsive to the needs of young people, at the lowest possible cost.
It is a robust digital health ecosystem facilitating collaboration among stakeholders and integrating online and offline services for young people. Services that are non-judgmental and support all young people regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability. Delivered just the way young people like it

Building upon more than 10 years of expertise of Stepped Care in the Netherlands with youth brand Sense, more brands are currently implemented internationally besides Vibrações: B-wise in South Africa, One2One in Kenya, and Tanya Marlo in Indonesia.
