Swaziland

In Swaziland, C-Change works to strengthen capacity of the Kingdom’s National Emergency Response Council on HIV/AIDS (NERCHA) to improve coordination and quality of interventions for behavior change. With a population of 1.1 million, Swaziland has a generalized HIV epidemic, driven by the absence of consistent condom use and networks of multiple concurrent partnerships (MCP).

C-Change works with NERCHA and the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSW) to improve implementation of the National Behaviour Change Communication Strategy for HIV prevention, strengthening structures and processes to ensure an effective, decentralized response. Specifically, C-Change activities in Swaziland include designing tools and systems to make the best use of resources, encourage consistent, high-quality service delivery across agencies, monitor progress and determine emerging needs.
