title: Malawi (2012): Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Study on Sexual and Reproductive Health among Men and Women of Reproductive Age

description: This study was aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of the impact of men'ÃÂÃÂs and women's behaviour on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). More focus was on men'ÃÂÃÂs behavior because not much evidence-based information on this has been documented. The specific objectives of this study were as follows: To identify and measure the impact of different behaviours of men and women on SRH. To understand the different behaviours and attitudes demonstrated by men. To examine the association between sexual relationship power, intimate partners violence, and condom use. To understand the current involvement of men and women in maternal health. To assess people's understanding of male involvement and gender-based violence and how they impact on family planning and maternal health. To understand the extent of the impact of programs with male involvement component offered in the eight districts. This study was done in Mwanza, Blantyre, Chiradzulu, Mangochi, Dedza, Mchinji, Nkhata Bay and Chitipa. In order to collect data for this study, 80 key informants were inter
viewed, 32 focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted, questionnaires administered to 369 couples who were interviewed together as a couple and 241 men who were interviewed individually. In addition to this a desk review of studies on SRH in Malawi was also conducted.

title: Malawi (2011): Estimating the population size of vendors ,plantation workers and the fishing community working with the EBT Prev program in Malawi .

description: In March 2009, PSI/Malawi initiated a five-year Evidence Based Targeted HIV Prevention (EBT Prev) project designed to reduce the incidence of HIV in Malawi. The Evidence Based, Targeted HIV Prevention (EBT Prev) Project is designed to reduce incidence of HIV in Malawi by targeting prevention efforts at populations and settings with high-risk behaviors. The agreed settings with high risk behaviors are 20 Priority Prevention Areas (PPAs) geographically distributed throughout Malawi and the agreed populations of interest are: vendors; plantation workers; fishing communities; commercial sex worker (CSW); and men who have sex with men (MSM). Such efforts will promote and support the adoption of safer sexual behaviors, specifically concurrent partner reduction and increased condom use, among the target populations. In order to effectively implement the intervention, PSI/Malawi conducted population size estimate exercise. The aim of the exercise was to estimate the total number of target populations the program could reach in its intervention areas. The data gathered from the exercise will help the program quantify its current coverage, and inform future targeting. In mid-August 2011, PSI/Malawi undertook a population estimate size exercise among vendors, plantation workers and fishing communities. Size estimations for CSW or MSM were not carried out by PSI/Malawi to avoid duplication of efforts with other organiza
tions. FPAM is working on finalizing the report and will be sent to PSI/Malawi by mid April 2012.

title: Malawi (2013): Voluntary Male Medical Circumcision post campaign assessment study

description: Research studies done in East and Southern Africa highlight that voluntary male medical circumcision (VMMC) is one HIV prevention strategy that offers a long term negative effect on HIV acquisition at limited costs. VMMC can avert many new infections for both women and men and on average it reduces heterosexual men's risk of acquiring HIV by as much as 60 percent. Between 22nd July and 6th September, The Ministry of Health in collaboration with its key strategic partners in HIV prevention conducted a campaign to sensitise men and women on VMMC in selected five districts. The campaign encouraged men between 15-49 years to go for VMMC. By targeting adults and adolescent men first, the VMMC campaign aimed at reaching those who are currently or soon to be sexually active as a means to achieve immediate impact on HIV transmission. The campaign was highly successful, for instance PSI/Malawi achieved 105% (9969/9500) of its target in Blantyre urban. The success of the campaign in Blantyre was mainly due to the integrated approach PSI/Malawi adopted to reach out to many people with behavior change messages. The multi media approach through the use of community mobilisers, radio spots, targeted outreach communication teams, posters and information slips for parents helped to increase reach and it was not surprising that demand for VMMC service was high in the areas the organization set up mobile clinics. In order to further understand what worked very well and the media channel which was effective in motivating the target group to go for VMMC, PSI/Malawi VMMC program would like to do a post campaign qualitative assessment with the target audience to help draw up lessons for future campaigns.

title: Malawi (2008): TRaC study to evaluate ownership, use, and treatment of ITNs. Round Two.

description: PSI/Malawi is engaged in the social marketing of a range of health products that directly address the most significant health concerns faced by Malawians: Malaria, HIV/AIDS, and diarrhea disease. These products consist of Chishango condoms (reported to make-up over 60% of the condoms used by 15-24 year olds) ; Chitetezo insecticide treated mosquito nets (over 95% of ITNs owned); Mabwezera Chitetezo treatment kits (used in over 95% of net treatment); Thanzi ORS (75% of all ORS use), WaterGuard (point-of-use water treatment that accounts for 41% of household treated drinking water) . In the near future, PSI/Malawi has also plans to launch WaterGuard Powder and female condoms. The products are distributed via a range of traditional and non-traditional outlets, primarily employing Malawi's commercial distribution network (for Chishango, Blue Chitetezo ITNs, Mabwezera Chitetezo, Thanzi and WaterGuard liquid and WaterGuard powder); and the MOH'Âs network of health facilities (for green Chitetezo
ITNs and Mabwezera Chitetezo). Study Rationale: The purpose of the 2008 TRaC (Tracking Results Continuously) survey in Malawi is to generate evidence for social marketing decision making. The data gathered through the 2008 TRaC survey will be presented in the PSI research Dashboard and the PSI Dashboard PERForMance Review. The Dashboard is a set of standardized tables for segmenting populations, monitoring trends on key population and service delivery indicators, and evaluating program effectiveness.

title: Malawi (2013): An assessment on Coartem project -Phase 1 and Phase 2

description: Malawi has a population of 13.1 million with 17% of the population being children under 5 years . Malaria is endemic in Malawi and transmission occurs throughout the year in most places, hence it is still a major health problem. Peak transmission is experienced during the rainy season from November to April. The entire Malawi population is at risk of malaria. Children aged under 5 and pregnant women are most at risk of complications due to untreated malaria. Malaria prevalence among children under 5 years is around 43% . Malaria mortality can be combated through malaria prevention strategies or early diagnoses and treatment. In Malawi, the treatment guidelines recommend the use of combination ACT therapy to manage uncomplicated malaria. The first line treatment for uncomplicated malaria is a combination of Artemether and Lumefantrine. This is popularly known as LA. The most common source of LA in Malawi is the public sector, which works in partnership with Christian Health Association (CHAM) facilities. The private sector is a minor player in provision of LA mainly because of the high costs associated with obtaining the commodity and market presence of sub-standard ACTs sold at retail prices; lack of knowledge of retailers on malaria diagnosis and treatment and no child-friendly dispersible formulations available in private sector facilities. Although LA is available for free in public facilities, there are a lot of factors that hamper access. These factors include long distances from health facilities and logistics challenges. According to a cost estimation exercise from the 2010 MIS, it was learned that the pharmacies and shops were the most expensive sources of treatment. In February 2012, PSI/Malawi in partnership with the Nation
al Malaria Control Program and Novartis introduced Coartem through the non-premium private sector market. The goal of the project is to contribute to the national goal of reducing mortality and severe disease due to malaria. The launch of the project saw the introduction of treatments for all age groups being distributed through private clinics, pharmacies and drug stores in Malawi. As a result, over 65,000 treatments were distributed in 2012 through the private sector . Medical detailing visits were being conducted to raise awareness of health service providers on proper treatment of malaria and Coartem availability. Apart from the detailing visits carried out by the team, 302 service providers were oriented through a series of orientation meetings scheduled throughout the country. The demand to date keeps on increasing. This increase in demand can be attributed to: -Increased awareness among service providers on the need to prescribe and recommend quality ACTs from WHO prequalified suppliers through detailing visits and awareness meetings -Deregulation of Coartem to OTC status which enables drug stores to stock the product -Increased outlets stocking Coartem which increased access by offering an alternative to public sector commodity -Low price of Coartem compared to other ACTs on the market.

title: MALAWI (2013): QUALITATIVE STUDY; PRETESTING OF LOGO FOR THE NATIONAL RURAL SANITATION MARKETING PROGRAM (NRSMP) UNDER UNICEF IN LILONGWE, MZIMBA AND NKHATABAY.

description: UNICEF Malawi is complementing GovernmentÂ efforts in sanitation and hygiene promotion through its National Rural Sanitation Marketing Program (NRSMP). The NRSMP is aligned to the government of Malawi's Open Defecation Free by 2015 Strategy and the National Sanitation Policy [2008]. In this program UNICEF Malawi seeks to provide a sanitation facility in form of a toilet to poor households that are affordable, durable and locally-available. UNICEF Malawi was in search for a business model that provides suppliers with a financial motive to offer these innovative toilets across rural communities. To support this business model, UNICEF Malawi sought PSI/Malawi's expertise to develop a logo and key messages to support the promotional campaign. In regard to this behavioral communication campaign, PSI/Malawi came up with a logo and key messages for the project target audiences. Before the commencement of the campaign a pretest of the logo and the key messages to the target audiences was done to get their perspectives. The pretest was carried out among men and women in Lilongwe, Mzimba and Nkhatabay. Focus group discussion were used to collect information.

title: Malawi (2013):Silvertouch Mystery Client study

description: In Malawi, 1.6% of the population becomes infected with HIV every year and of the 100,000 new infections half of them occur among young people (15-24). Research studies have attributed the escalating HIV infection rate among the youth (15-24) to a number of factors including low condom use in non spousal relationship and multiple and concurrent partnerships. To improve overall access, coverage and demand for free public sector condoms among the youth (15-24), National AIDS Commission through PSI/Malawi implemented a one year program to brand, distribute and promote five million public sector male and female condoms. To achieve this, PSI/Malawi developed and designed a brand name- Silvertouch - and packing concepts for both male and female condoms. Both male and female Silvertouch condoms were distributed through health facilities for easy access to the target audience. Distribution took place in six districts, namely: Kasungu, Lilongwe, Blantyre, Mangochi, Nkhata Bay and Karonga districts. In order to assess availability and access of Silvertouch condoms among youth, the research department at PSI/Malawi will conduct a mystery client study. This study will use the mystery client studies
approach. The approach is used to assess the quality of services offered by an organisation from the clients point of view. Four youths (2 boys and 2 girls) will be trained to act as mystery clients to assess the availability of Silvertouch condoms and the quality of service offered when one is accessing the Silvertouch condoms at the health facility. During their visit to the facilities, they will observe every stage of service provision after which they will report (by completing a survey or through an interview) on their experience. Information from the mystery client will be fed back to the service providers to improve service provision where necessary. The broad objective of the study is to assess the quality of service provision of the Silvertouch condoms offered by the providers to mystery clients in the project public health centers. The specific study objectives are: 1. To assess the average waiting time taken by the mystery clients to receive services. 2. To assess the mystery client's opinion about maintenance of privacy. 3. To assess how the providers behave with the youth clients. 4. To obtain the mystery clients'Â overall opinion of the facility in terms of its cleanliness and presence of directional signs.

title: Malawi (2012): ASSESSING THE ACCEPTABILITY OF SILVERTOUCH CONDOMS PACKAGING COLOURS.

description: In an attempt to improve overall access, coverage and demand for free public sector condoms, the National AIDS Commission through PSI/Malawi will implement a one year program in six districts to brand, distribute and promote five million male and 500,000 female public sector condoms. To achieve this, PSI/Malawi, has developed and designed a brand name (Silvertouch) and packaging concepts for both condoms. The new packaging prototype was approved by NAC with specific dimensions, pack material and colours. In the initial design the facade of the pack was meant to have a silver border. The printed package however has turn out with the correct dimensions but with grey border instead of silver against the original concept. The silver border was originally meant to symbolically explain the foil pack colour which is silver and relate to the name itself.
To help inform the decision if a re-print is required, SilverTouch packaging study was commissioned to better understand the impact of the colour (grey) on consumers' perception of product. The study is designed to show whether the colour combination is still acceptable and attractive among the target audience and how the grey-ness may impact uptake of the condoms.   The study was conducted in two districts. These districts were purposively selected from the list of six implementation dist
ricts. Focus group discussions were used to gather information from respondents.
