Participants of the focus group discussions and in depth interviews.

CAG – Community ART groups; IDI – In depth interviews; FGD – Focus group discussions. §Patients in CAG were divided in three groups according to their geographical residence and the distance to the clinics: (1) remote areas – patients who have to travel long distances to access care with major transport problems, (2) rural areas –patients who can reach healthcare services by foot or bicycle and (3) semi-urban areas – patients who live close to main road with access to public transport. * To ensure a fluent implementation of the CAG model and monitoring of the groups, MSF appointed counsellors to the large health facilities, taking a major role in the daily management of the CAG activities. Whereas in smaller health facilities, MoH nurses are responsible for all these activities. For the interviews nurses have been divided into two groups: (1) nurses working with counsellors and (2) nurses working without counsellors.
