USG is ramping up the biomedical response to HIV in Malawi through scaling up male circumcision service delivery efforts. We have 4 service delivery partners namely BLM, PSI, MCHIP and ITECH- who will be responsible for providing MC services in four districts in southern Malawi, including Blantyre, and in Lilongwe in the Central region in Malawi. USG will utilize the centrally-based SCMS projects procurement function to procure MC commodities, including reusable and disposable MC kits, HIV test kits, and STI drugs for all USAID and CDC MC service delivery providers. We hope to achieve cost efficiencies by procuring all commodities centrally for our partners. Social and biomedical prevention is a primary goal of the Malawi PFIP.
