Description

The purpose of this announcement is to support a local, sustainable response to the HIV epidemic in the United Republic of Tanzania through the development and strengthening of capacity and systems of the Tanzania Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. Investing in the strengthening of the MoHSW and building its capacity to coordinate a response lays the foundation upon which all other HIV/AIDS interventions are built and integrated within the public health system and ultimately to ensure the achievement of PEPFAR goals.The MoHSW will receive a specified amount of funding and technical support for a full range of human capacity development activities that focus on field epidemiology and laboratory training to increase the capacity for evidence-based public health decision making at all levels for both mainland and Zanzibar. This FOA aims to enhance evidence based decision making through the coordination of resources and the implementation of the MoHSW M&E Strengthening Initiative (M&E SI) Combined Plan and to facilitate active engagement in integration and regulation of services for HIV prevention, care and treatment for key populations and support MoHSW implementation of the IPC program. The FOA may consider support during later years of the five-year funding cycle for MoHSW to gradually transition activities including long-course development to a MoHSW led, financed and managed program that is implemented without the support of an external technical assistance
