Prevention of HIV
Free Condom Distribution
Following research undertaken by ACHAP, the University of Botswana, and Population Services International (PSI), on the usage, beliefs and attitudes of men and women on condom use, a program was developed in partnership with the Ministry of Health to scale up the promotion and distribution of free condoms throughout the country. With financial and technical support from ACHAP, millions of condoms have been procured to support this effort. These have been procured using the Ministry of Health procurement processes.
In addition, f condom dispensers have been installed in traditional and non-traditional outlets in many parts of the country. . District condom focal persons ensure these dispensers are consistently replenished.
Districts have also been supported to develop and implement district specific condom education and promotion plans that have helped bring all partners in this effort together and agree on mechanisms for distribution..
