Programmatic Mapping and Population Size Estimation (p-MPSE) of High-Risk Groups: Operational Manual

These guidelines with the institutionalization of the programmatic mapping and size estimates of Key Populations exercise biennially with a revalidation step between two rounds, will guide strategic actions towards closing the gaps in prevention coverage and reach out to each person at risk of been infected by HIV to further reduce incidence of HIV.

These guidelines emphasise two main features :1) the mapping will focus on Key Populations but broaden the definition and the spaces for mapping, to capture populations previously left out of the prevention programmes, and 2) the programmatic mapping will be community-led within a technical framework provided by NACO.
