In 2009 the Zambian Ministry of Health and its partners used the World Health Organization's situation analysis toolkit to assess current practice and inform the design of effective interventions to scale up voluntary medical male circumcision services. The primary goal of the analysis was to generate an understanding of the determinants and scale of current male circumcision practices in Zambia, determine the willingness of populations to support and come forward for male circumcision, assess the capacity to perform safe male circumcision in various clinical settings, and identify gaps in the capacity to deliver VMMC services. The findings, conclusions, and recommendations are described in this report.
