In the Caribbean, where HIV prevalence is second only to Sub-Saharan Africa, the question of condom availability can be a matter of life or death. For those already-vulnerable populations, such as the rural poor, out-of-school youth, sex workers and migrants, the barriers to condom access can be unfeasibly high. Since its inception in 2005, CARISMA partner programmes have worked with the Total Market Approach (TMA). This innovative approach – which is increasingly supported by UNFPA and key donors - is believed to have great potential for boosting both the overall size and sustainability not only of condom markets, but of other reproductive health supplies.
