Training and mentorship of community healthcare workers
To introduce child-friendly approaches and improve confidence, competence and willingness to provide children with HIV services.
Engagement at household level by community-based organisations
Active linkage to care of children living with HIV, support in adherence and disclosure, community advocacy, and creation of community-based child- friendly spaces in communities.
