The Clearinghouse on Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention (www.malecircumcision.org) is a collaborative effort to generate and share information resources with the international public health community, civil society groups, health policy makers, and programme managers.
Goals
The Clearinghouse exists to expand global access to information and resources on male circumcision for HIV prevention.

We aim to provide:
- Basic information resources
- An inventory of research activities on male circumcision
- Tools, guidelines and resources for programme scale-up
- Evidence-based protocols and guidelines
- A compendium of better and best practices
- A forum for sharing innovations in the delivery of male circumcision services
- A global mechanism for exchanging and integrating information on male circumcision programmes and associated services
