Male Medical CircumcisionNumber of males aged 15 – 49 circumcised

Q1-1273; Q2-1753; Q3-1022-This indicator excludes boys under 15 and yet this cohort comes in large numbers. The District has trained nurses to perform MMC and is cascading this programme to clinics in an effort to increase numbers. 7 clinics already involved.-Adult males are not keen to come for MMC and a campaign started last year by the Mayor to have MMC whenever he meets them only attracted the youth again

HCT & TB ScreeningNumber of new HIV tests carried out

Q1-31513; Q2-33911; Q3-27781-The first half of the year shows an increase in the District’s performance on this indicator, however there is a decrease in Quarter 3 which is probably due to the noticeable trend of lower health seeking behavior during December holidays

Condoms DistributionNumber of Male condoms distributed

-Condom distribution has increased Q1-1,278,887; Q2- 1,226,431; Q3- 513205

The decrease in the third quarter is due to the termination of the private service providers’ month to month contract for distribution to taverns , spaza shops etc. in response to the call for reducing activities that count towards irregular expenditure. The new contracts should start in April 2013.There is also a plan to extend the activity to war rooms

This performance indicates a remarkable improvement in all quarters

Coordination, Monitoring & Evaluation

Number of LACs submitting reports to DACQ1-2; Q2-2; Q3-1;

Only Mandeni and KwaDukuza present narrative reports at DAC meetings and the latter did not have the third quarter report.-The narratives are only on activities and not on the LAC tool indicators as expected.-A workshop aimed at work shopping them on the new DAC tool has been proposed.

Number of WACs submitting reports to LAC

Q1-0, Q2-0; Q3-0The above mentioned workshop is thought to be a solution to this poor performance as it should address the understanding of the indicators and the sources of the information in each Ward.
