• Preparing for formative work launch.

Preparing for formative work launch. POWER is preparing to launch the formative work, which includes in-depth interviews with young women and men, as well as key informant interviews with healthcare providers.

All sites–DTHF in Cape Town (South Africa), Wits RHI in Johannesburg (South Africa), and KEMRI in Kisumu (Kenya)–are in the final stages of receiving regulatory approvals, recruiting/hiring interviewers
and finalizing standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Sites will begin training the interviewing teams in February and data collection will follow soon thereafter.
