We challenge you to design a new social enterprise that reduces the risk of HIV acquisition for men by generating demand for Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC). D-Prize wiHt Designing Your Social Enterprise We believe a successful distribution entrepreneur must have compelling answers to the following questions: (1) Why is this intervention appropriate for your local market? A successful proposal will operate in one of the fourteen priority countries for VMMC scale-up mentioned above. We highly recommend you target a local region where VMMC treatment rates are the lowest. (2) How will your model create demand for VMMC amongpatients, and connect them to existing service providers? There are many local NGOs and health service providers that already exist and can perform this specific treatment. Your model should seek to cooperate with these existing resources by focusing on generating demand. It is absolutely critical that patients elect to have VMMC voluntarily. Your proposal should specifically address how you will ensure there is no coercion among patient outreach. A proposal that fails to adequately address this concern will not be funded. (3) How will you measure the marginal impact of your work? One challenge will be proving your work leads to marginal or incremental impact. Said another way, you must prove that your model led to more uncircumcised men voluntarily completingcircumcisionthan if your organization did not exist. - You will most likely have to track this data yourself, as in most operating regions there is not existing data gathering and reporting. - During the early pilot stage, you should consider a process for tracking impact that is simple and efficient. For example you could collect data from local health authorities and show that 90% of men in a local area received treatment after your pilot compared to historical baseline data (which is likely 50% or lower coverage). Or alternatively, you could show 90% coverage in your pilot region compared to a lower ( 50% or lower) coverage in a neighboring area. Regardless of your plan, simply tracking how many men voluntarily elected for VMMC is not enough to prove incremental impact. - As you grow, you will need to consider more robust measurement processes, including understanding the long-term impact of your work on local HIV rates. (4) Can your operation scale? We seek ideas that will result in a massive increase in the number of voluntary candidates for VMMC who would otherwise not pursue treatment, with a plan to scale up and target a larger region of 100,000 VMMC candidates nationwide within five years. You should explain your vision to reach this target. The ideal social enterprise will have a plan to raise significant funding to scale, either through investment or philanthropy.
