| Organization Description: | |
| 1. SAfAID’s Mission: is to be a Centre of excellence that promotes effective and ethical development responses to Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights, HIV and Gender through Advocacy, Communication and Social mobilization. 2. TB Programming falls under one of four strategic areas of focus called "HIV and TB prevention, treatment and care (including e-MTCT, Treatment as prevention)". SAfAIDS mobilise communities to enhance their understanding on TB in order to prevent themselves from developing TB, to detect it early by seeking medical attention as soon as they develop signs of TB. 3. We are planning to aggressively mobilise communities on TB in order to improve their literacy on TB for early diagnosis and treatment, support door to door home visits to create awareness on TB. So far the Swaziland NGOs have a limited understanding of TB thus we are planning to train them on the basics on TB so that they can mainstream TB in their programmes because of its high prevalence in Swaziland |
