MMC SUSTAIN is a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded technical assistance project implemented by Genesis Analytics.
Our strategic objective is to support the South African VMMC program to transition from scale-up to sustainability. We provide targeted technical advice to the national VMMC unit, as well as eight high-HIV burden districts in KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Gauteng.
This Learning Library is intended as a free, public-access platform that consolidates our documented approach, tools, resources, processes and lessons learned while supporting the South African Department of Health (DoH) to transition the VMMC program toward sustainability.
