CARE Rwanda’s Case Management Program

CARE International has implemented the Case Management (CM) model in Rwanda since September 2004 to respond to the critical need of linking community and facility-based services for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs). The CM model aims to holistically address the complex and numerous needs of PLWHA with a specific focus on enhancing anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment and adherence. This evaluation was conducted in June 2006 and incorporates both quantitative and qualitative methods from multiple sources. Data from all seven former provinces where the CM program is operational was collected and in-depth information from three randomly selected sites was gathered. This report presents the results of this evaluation, discussing the viability of the CM model in the Rwandan context and analyzing CARE’s capacity to incorporate lessons learned into ongoing program activity.
