In collaboration with MOH, [the partner(s)] will update the tools for community mobilization for PMTCT, provide training to community volunteers to promote PMTCT, and will work with EP-supported clinical partners to strengthen the referral system to get pregnant women to PMTCT services. The community volunteers will work closely with the case managers, PLWHA associations, TBA's, and local authorities. These community-based services will assist in the monitoring and tracking of pregnant and postpartum HIV-positive women and their infants to ensure proper treatment adherence. Linking women in PMTCT and their families to other key community services will extend the reach of PMTCT services. These other services will include PLWHA associations, income generating activities, community gardens, malaria prevention and treatment, child survival and health programs, and food assistance.
