NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.

SACTWU Workers Health Program’s (SWHP) overarching goal in support of SAG’s national goal to reduce new HIV infections by 50%, is to circumcise 80% of target population being HIV negative men between the ages of 15 – 49 years within the 5 years. SWHP’s program is configured around the Models of Optimizing Volume and Efficiency (MOVE).

Established SWHP objectives are to:

1. Implement MMC activities within high-volume regions;

2. Train MMC activity staff, DOH staff, and selected private practitioners within the district according to NDOH / WHO guidelines to ensure sustainability;

3. Provide a comprehensive package of MMC services;

4. Strengthen and improve the quality of existing health care facilities and services through the scale up of MMC activities;

5. Establish referral systems and linkages with other public sector HIV care and treatment services; and

6. Provide extensive community mobilization activities.

SACTWU will provide MMC support in several districts within KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Northern Cape, Western Cape, Mpumalanga and Free State. The intention is also to extend our reach to the Limpopo province during this period. Due to low uptake in certain regions, activities planned for this year is to conduct concentrated communication mobilization campaigns in Western Cape, Tshwane and certain districts in KwaZulu-Natal.

In terms of M&E SWHP will continue to contribute by working closely with DOH and other PEPFAR partners to build the country capacity for implementing and maintaining a fully comprehensive data management system.

To date, ten vehicles have been purchased under this award, five in COP 2012 and five in COP2013. In COP 2014 SWHP plans to purchase one additional vehicle to accommodate roll-out of activities in Limpopo.

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
