Three days at Temeke Municipal Council bring KVP peer educators through HIV prevention, GBV referral, drug-use harm reduction and the AHADI data flow.

01

Why peers lead

Every AHADI peer educator is recruited from within the population they serve — current or former sex workers, people in recovery, intimate partners. The induction explicitly avoided a clinical framing; sessions were run as facilitated peer dialogue with clinicians on call rather than at the front.

02

Tools the team left with

Pocket referral cards for Temeke District Hospital and Mbagala, a one-page MAT/OST eligibility checklist, and the new KP-CHIS register pages that AHADI introduced to standardise weekly reporting.
