Maternal Health Task Force
EngenderHealth was awarded a three-year, $11 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to coordinate the Maternal Health Task Force Project, a global initiative aimed at shaping a collective effort to advance maternal health worldwide. Bringing together partner organizations, the Task Force will mobilize advocates and serve as a catalyst to address one of the most neglected areas in global health. For more information:
Male Circumcision Consortium
Male circumcision is increasingly recognized as an important practice for preventing HIV. EngenderHealth is partnering with Family Health International and the University of Illinois at Chicago on the Male Circumcision Consortium to improve and expand access to voluntary adult medical circumcision services in Kenya, as part of an overall strategy for reducing HIV infections in men. Working closely with the Kenyan government, the Consortium focuses on Nyanza Province, which has the country’s highest HIV prevalence. For more information:
Men As Partners® Week
Communities across South Africa participated in “Men As Partners® Week” from March 20–28, 2009. The national campaign, held annually and organized by EngenderHealth’s South Africa office, is designed to motivate boys and men to take action against HIV and gender-based violence. This year’s theme was personal transformation, and events included community-based workshops, mural painting, and voluntary HIV counseling and testing drives. For more information:
