The purpose of the workshop was to address and develop a detailed activity plan for decanting and adherence clubs.
Currently CaSIPO’s main aim is to focus on the third 90, and that is where as a project these three interventions are needed:
Peer Support Groups, which will be used to establish new support groups in all districts as well as develop and strengthen community cased directory in liaison with partners. Adherence Counselling which is the establishment of community adherence clubs to support ART prepacking process, including transportation of ARVs where appropriate coupled with intensive support for Adherence Strategy and Guidelines roll out and SOP implementation and then lastly, Missed Appointment Tracing with WBOTs/CHWs which involves CBOs to improve linkages to health facilities for viral load testing and then back to ACs for reporting and continued adherence support.
