The activity is Tanzania-led and supported by numerous development partners. By supporting PSSN, USAID is working to increase the Tanzania Social Action Fund's (TASAF) effectiveness in delivering well-targeted and integrated social safety net services to Tanzania's poorest and most vulnerable citizens, including orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and people with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). The target is to reach 1.2 million households (totaling approximately 5.7 million people).
The activity is a public private partnership that reduces maternal mortality and morbidity by addressing three key delays to providing quality maternal health care in Tanzania. These include: (a) the ability of women and health care workers to recognize danger signs and seek timely prenatal/postnatal health services, (b) availability of transportation, especially for those requiring emergency obstetric care, and (c) lack of adequately staffed and equipped facilities able to promptly respond to the needs of pregnant women, particularly those at risk.
Sustaining Health Outcomes through Private Sector (SHOPS) Plus is a USAID leading initiative in private sector health. The project mobilizes international and local private sector expertise and resources to develop sustainable solutions to public healthcare needs in Tanzania. SHOPS Plus works to increase the provision of priority health products and services in Tanzania through strategic expansion of private sector approaches.
The activity clarifies and documents land ownership, increases local understanding of land use and land rights, and supports land use planning. As a result of the activity's interventions, district and village land institutions will be empowered in target areas to carry forward the capacity-building and land administration process independently, with little or no outside financial support.
USAID’s Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) works with the Government of Tanzania and in-country partners to expand access to high-quality reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health services (RMNCH). By introducing and expanding high-impact and sustainable interventions, MCSP is increasing access to and utilization of services across the continuum of care, from the hospital to the community and from pre pregnancy through postnatal care. MCSP also supports health systems strengthening, HIV/RMNCH integration, and pre-service education.
