Overcoming Seasonality in Scaling Up Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision: A Case Study from Tanzania

This case study examines the VMMC program launched in 2009 in two Tanzania regions: Iringa and Njombe. Managers of this program believe that seasonality, once considered a key barrier to meeting ambitious targets and running efficient, productive programs, no longer limits the success of VMMC programs.

Through a combination of structural and behavioral measures, the VMMC program in Iringa and Njombe saw a significant change between 2010 to 2014 in the distribution of VMMCs throughout the year.
