Mapping the unseen: needs assessment for KVPs in Temeke

ASUTA opens AHADI with a ward-by-ward mapping of KVPs across Tandika, Temeke and Azimio — guesthouses, stages, drug-use corners.

Two-week rapid hotspot mapping using the modified PLACE methodology. Peer educators led entry; data clerks geo-tagged each hotspot, recorded estimated population size, peak times and existing service touchpoints.

217 hotspots logged, with an estimated 1,840 sex workers, 410 PWID and 290 male partners reachable through routine outreach. Tandika alone accounted for 38% of the PWID estimate.
