Engaging the Community to Reach 90-90-90

A Review of Evidence and Implementation Strategies in Malawi

Malawi has been one of the countries hardest hit by the HIV epidemic. To achieve the 90-90-90 targets in a health system that has limited human resources and whose clinics are already overburdened, high-impact interventions must be identified at each step of the HIV prevention, care, and treatment cascade and linkages between the facility and community maximized. This report was developed by UNAIDS and MSF Belgium, in partnership with Malawi’s National AIDS Commission, and summarizes community-based HIV programs.

Interventions defined as “community-based” include interventions by health care workers performed as outreach, as well as interventions performed directly by community members either at the facility or in the community.
