Zimbabwe: Synergizing Efforts to Scale Up Integration Nation Wide
Zimbabwe has an adult HIV prevalence of 15 per cent and high maternal, neonatal, and child mortality rates. The maternal mortality ratio (MMR), which showed signs of decline in the mid 2000s, increased significantly to 960 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2010/2011, but began to show signs of decline in 2014 (614 deaths per 100,000 live births). Given that most HIV infections are sexually transmitted, linking SRH and HIV services simply makes sense.
Zambia: Ensuring Young People’s Access to SRH and HIV Services
Over the last two decades, Zambia’s HIV response has achieved some notable results. Adult HIV prevalence is projected to have declined from 14 per cent in 2007 to 12 per cent in 2013. Despite this progress, HIV remains a major threat to the country. Given that most HIV infections are sexually transmitted, linking SRH and HIV services simply makes sense.
Namibia: Enhancing Efficiencies in Integrated Service Delivery
Namibia has a mature HIV epidemic, with an estimated HIV prevalence of 14 per cent. Key challenges in the health sector include poor maternal mortality and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) indicators. Given that most HIV infections are sexually transmitted, linking SRH and HIV services simply makes sense.

These partnerships have boosted access to integrated services for highly vulnerable populations and strengthened demand for services within communities.
