As a sub-partner under the U.S. Agency for International Development’s AIDSFree program, implemented by JSI and partners, Jhpiego is working with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children to rapidly expand the provision of high-quality, client-centered, voluntary medical male circumcision services as a core component of comprehensive HIV prevention services.
The project is working in five regions of Tanzania—Iringa, Njombe, Tabora, Morogoro and Singida—with the goal to increase circumcision prevalence to 80% of males aged 10–34 years and develop sustainable strategies to maintain 80% male circumcision coverage, including early infant male circumcision for HIV prevention
