Description:

Strengthening access to a range of HIV-related services for those in need and promoting communication among service providers requires a formalized referral network of providers. However, little information about how to create these networks and few standardized tools to facilitate effective network functioning are available. This document aims to describe several models of referral networks and to provide tools and instructions that can be adapted to different settings. The document is intended for implementers, stakeholders and service providers at the facility and community levels who need guidance for creating or improving a referral network of HIV/AIDS-related services.
