Objective
Feasibility and potential benefits of collaboration between the traditional and public health care sectors in Uganda and Zambia will be assessed. The focus will be on improving the humanity and public health dimensions of STI/HIV/AIDS care among both categories of providers. Collaborative models will be designed, based on studies of community and provider needs and preferences, and assessments of quality of care in both settings, using a prospective policy analysis approach. Qualitative and quantitative methods are used. An intervention, based on these data, will be implemented at district/municipal level, with joint training involving traditional and public providers. A before-and-after quasi-experimental evaluation will evaluate process & outcome indicators, providing evidence that collaborations can work and also increase access to essential care services.
