ASUTA opens RFE delivery with a 5-day induction for 62 newly recruited peer health educators drawn from the populations they will serve.

01

Recruitment principle

Peer educators were drawn from the FSW, IDU and barmaid populations themselves. The training was deliberately experiential — role play, hotspot walk-throughs, and three days of supervised outreach before sign-off.

02

First-quarter coverage

Within ninety days, the peers reached 256 sex workers, barmaids and migrants with combination prevention sessions across 14 Bagamoyo hotspots.
