1 TASO (The AIDS Support Organization) is a non-profit organization based in Uganda that provides HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support services to individuals, families, and communities affected by the disease. TASO's delivery model combines home-based care, clinical care, counseling, and community outreach to provide a comprehensive approach to HIV/AIDS care.
2 TASO's model added value for its clients by providing access to quality HIV/AIDS care and support services that were previously unavailable. TASO's focus on community outreach and education helped to reduce stigma and discrimination, increase awareness about HIV/AIDS, and encourage testing and treatment (The AIDS Support Organization (TASO), n.d.). TASO also provided training and support for community health workers, which helped to build local capacity for HIV/AIDS care.
3 TASO had several competitive advantages over its competitors. First, TASO has a strong reputation for providing high-quality HIV/AIDS care and support services (Abaasa et al., 2008). Second, TASO's focus on community outreach and education helped to build trust and support among the local community. Third, TASO had a well-established network of community health workers who provided critical support services to individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS (Hermann et al., 2009).
4 In 2006, TASO faced several challenges, including funding constraints, limited access to antiretroviral therapy, and increasing competition from other HIV/AIDS service providers. TASO faced stigma and discrimination challenges, making it difficult to reach specific populations and provide them with necessary care and support (Atwijukiire et al., 2022).
