10. The cover page should include a picture
of a woman since you remember in the
first episode the woman said they
should talk about it, as a mother and
father of children, so if you exclude
woman it can give an impression that
MMC is only about men ...

12. You will never find a
woman talking to another
woman about her man
circumcision but it’s good
for woman to begin talking
about it with their partner,
it would have been nice to
see a couple talking about
it rather woman to
woman. (25-35 mixed; GP)

13. Apologies for this late feedback. We needed to get our outreach team leaders to review and they
have come back with some useful comments ( I hope J) I hope it’s not too late:
….
On traditional circumcision: The booklet in some instances raises questions about irresponsible
behaviours around traditional MC . Our staff felt that this may feel like an attack on TMC and
needs to be tempered and qualified a little better.
Page 20 : Block 3 raises questions around traditional MC that could be very controversial. We
understand the need to highlight risks but we need to also comment that in well controlled safe
traditional environments TMC can be safe and done with condom promotion. If we sound like all
traditional MC is irresponsible and without condoms etc we put ourselves at risk of generalising
negatively about TMC.
THats all from us...

Hi Jenny, it is so great to have been introduced to you by Sara.
First of all, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for the job well done concerning the male
circumcision booklet. My staff and I did read before passing it on clients and we loved it...
So the idea which I have is to keep the client busy by reading the book while lying on the procedure bed (
of course for those who doesn’t mind reading) or even better in the recovery room after the procedure, in
that case the nurse will be able to answer any question ask by the client after reading as the book cover
most of the essential information needed.
Really appreciate your help.
Regards,

Editor's Notes
Soul City’s Model of Social and Behaviour Change Soul City Institute is a health and development communication organisation, which aims to effect social and behaviour change. Change is not a simple or linear process that only affects individuals. Soul City sees behaviour as the product of interactions between components of a complex system, consisting of many sub-systems such as people’s cultural, economic and political realities. Change in one part of the system is related to change in a different part of the system through the process of feedback. Soul City Institute’s model of social and behaviour change communication uses media, advocacy and social mobilisation to bring about social and behaviour change. Through these interventions Soul City Institute impacts on individuals, communities and the broader society. The intervention components aim to raise awareness, shift social norms and support healthy behaviour through facilitating and strengthening the key drivers of the process of change: dialogue and debate, action and reflections, social learning and efficacy. The overarching goal of Soul City’s work is to enable people and communities to make healthy choices by creating supportive environments; building healthy public policy; reorientating services; facilitating community involvement and building personal skills – as outlined by the Ottawa Charter.
