South Africa’s VMMC program performed 1.9 million male circumcisions between 2010 and early 2015. While program growth to date has been robust, this represents less than half of the current target of 4.3 million circumcisions expected to be completed by 2016. To inform strategic planning for continued scale-up of its VMMC program and better understand cost drivers and cost variances across provinces, the South African National Department of Health in 2014 requested estimates of the unit cost of VMMC and the level of current spending for VMMC demand creation.
