MARPI PROGRAMMES
Community Outreach Programme
Taking integrated services closer to communities.
MARPI works with district health teams, facilities, DICs, community organisations and peer leaders to plan and deliver integrated outreach services that reduce geographic, financial and social barriers to care.
The 2025 report describes integrated community outreaches offering HIV testing, TB screening, behaviour-change communication, condoms/lubricants, family planning, STI/hepatitis screening, cervical cancer screening, treatment, PEP and referral.

WHAT THE PROGRAMME DOES
How MARPI turns the programme into practical services.
MARPI combines community relationships, health-facility systems, differentiated service delivery and routine data so programmes do not stop at mobilisation—they connect people to prevention, treatment, referral and follow-up.
- Joint mapping and planning with districts, facilities and DICs
- Community mobilisation through peers and trusted structures
- Integrated outreach service delivery
- Community dialogues and health education
- Referral and linkage to facility/DIC care
- Home and community follow-up, psychosocial support and demand creation

CORE COMPONENTS
What Happens in Practice
These are the main operational components clients, communities and partners are likely to see during implementation.

DIC Linkage
Drop-in centres provide trusted points for ongoing care after community contact.
Home / Community Follow-Up
Peer educators and health workers support demand creation, referrals and psychosocial follow-up.
Client Safety & Dignity
