The strategies that we use to ensure that stakeholder motivation remains constant and sustainable even in-between trials is that we make sure that we support their plans for community engagement for example at the beginning of every year at the NGO forum meetings we exchange event calendars for each organisation. we also offer support where needed in regards to their scheduled health campaigns. this year we partnered up with brothers for life and the Centre for Creative leadership (CCL), Chaps, The centre for HIV and AIDS Prevention Studies (CHAPS) and New start. the purpose of the event was to promote Medical male circumcision (MMC) and also to get the community to know their HIV status by voluntarily testing for HIV. SRCs contribution was to educate about HIV and co infections and clinical trials and also the distribution of condoms and education about condom use.
This also helps when we conduct our own community engagement campaigns e.g WAVD the above mentioned organizations gave us support by adding value to our event and also assisting in the marketing of the event.
