Changes

C-Change is supporting the [[Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Program]] (VMMC) program of the Government of Kenya (GOK) and providing technical support to the National VMMC Taskforce task force and regional communication sub-committees. The goal is to create demand for VMMC and reinforce the incorrect notion that [[Circumcision| Male Circumcision]] reduces risk for men. C-Change developed the Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Communication Toolkit.Materials in the toolkit include billboards, posters, video, flip charts for circumcision providers, radio spots, faith and business leaders, dialogue cards, and a handbook for community mobilizers. C-Change continues to develop materials for Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision that include tools for coalition building, media outreach, advocacy with policymakers, monitoring and evaluation, and materials for circumcising communities. C-Change is also developing an adaptation guide for material development to facilitate scale-up of circumcision. Critical to the circumcision program is the National [[Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Program|Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Task task force]]. As part of this taskforcetask force, C-Change has developed a wide range of communication messages and materials that promote circumcision. They work to popularize the idea that male circumcision prevents [[HIV]].<ref name="C-Change"/>

An alliance of equipped teams circumcised over 25,000 men in western Kenya in November–December 2009. The Government of Kenya aims to circumcise 60% of men in Nyanza Province by 2014. Kenya made this commitment after the [[WHO|World Health Organization]] (WHO) announced that countries should incorporate male circumcision into national [[HIV ]] prevention strategies.<ref name="C-Change"/>
