Description
The Ministry of Health, in collaboration with key stakeholders, has developed this communication strategy to promote Safe Male Circumcision (SMC) in Uganda. The goal of the communication strategy is to contribute to the reduction in HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections incidences through increased safe male circumcision uptake. In order to promote safe male circumcision, the communication strategy primarily focuses on creating awareness and providing the necessary information to the public and other key stakeholders on safe male circumcision as an option of HIV prevention, elaborating the broader health benefits of safe male circumcision and advocating for support in the implementation of the SMC policy and scale-up programme.
