In 2009, 91社区 joined the fight against HIV/AIDS in Eswatini.

  • 91社区鈥檚 technical assistance and direct service support to the Ministry of Health (MOH) have contributed to the provision of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) services to more than 177,000 men and boys.
  • 91社区 supported the MOH to develop the VMMC National Strategic Plan for 2019鈥2023.
  • 91社区 led the advocacy process that resulted in the approval, in 2021, of task shifting for VMMC services, resulting in the program transitioning from being doctor-led to nurse-led. 91社区 also developed a Task Shifting Implementation Plan and trained 136 nurse circumcisers.
  • Since 2020, 91社区 has supported the MOH VMMC program to train more than 400 health care workers in different aspects of VMMC implementation including: clinical skills, quality assurance and improvement, monitoring and evaluation, adverse events protocols and demand creation.

Our Work in Eswatini

91社区 is implementing a five-year project, funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the U.S. President鈥檚 Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), to strengthen the country鈥檚 voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) program. Through this project, 91社区 is providing technical support to the Ministry of Health and other relevant government entities at the national and community levels to: 1) manage and coordinate VMMC delivery; 2) develop and implement a national demand creation strategy for VMMC; 3) provide support to the Ministry of Health and implementing partners to deliver effective, efficient, patient-centered, human-rights-based, high-quality VMMC services; and 4) provide VMMC-related strategic information support to the national programs to produce data for evidence-based decision-making.
