Sustainable Condom Solutions Project (SCSP)

One of the core Global Health priorities for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is fostering an AIDS-free generation. One of the objectives in achieving an AIDS-free generation is to prevent more than 12 million new infections globally. The Five-year Sustainable Condom Solutions Project (SCSP) supports this global objective through activities that aim to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV among both key [Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) and Commercial Sex Workers (CSW)] and priority (e.g. clients of CSWs, young women 15-24 years old, truckers, migrants) populations. The project will build national capacity to support sustainable systems; increase the availability and accessibility of condoms; and implement a strategic and tailored approach to increase the demand and use of condoms. It will consider the differing needs of men, women, and key populations. It will take a flexible approach that enables adaptation to key opportunities and barriers to condom use identified through a learning agenda.The overall goal of the project is to reduce the transmission and acquisition of HIV in the highest prevalence regions of Côte d’Ivoire among vulnerable populations through the consistent and correct use of condoms.
