The World Health Organization is a multi-lateral agency of which Tanzania is a member state. In Tanzania, the WHO Country Office (WCO) in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC ) is providing technical support to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare ( MOHSW) to: adapt and implement the Integrated Management of Adolescent and Adult Illness (IMAI) approach for the delivery of HIV services to primary health centers; support the scale up of universal access to HIV prevention, care, treatment and support services; develop guidelines, training packages, and IEC materials; and build capacity to implement HIV and AIDS programs for health care workers.

FY 2010 funds will be used to support the MOHSW in their efforts to review and update IMAI guidelines, training packages, patient monitoring tools for HIV care/ART, and TB-HIV operational manuals. Technical assistance will be provided through workshops that will focus on these documents and tools. The updated IMAI guidelines, training packages, monitoring tools and operational manuals will be translated into Kiswahili, printed and distributed.

FY 2010 funds will also be used to support the MOHSW to build the capacity of District Health Management teams to provide clinical mentoring and supportive supervision at the district and primary health facility levels, and build the capacity of zonal training centers to conduct training for regional training of trainers (TOT). Funds will also be used to support national meetings for implementing partners.

WHO provides technical support to the MOHSW to build its capacity to implement all HIV and AIDS related programs and strategies including the IMAI approach, as well as HIV and AIDS programs for health care workers in Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar.

WHO will be working with the MOHSW to update IMAI guidelines. This activity contributes to Goal 1of the Partnership Framework on service maintenance and scale-up by ensuring that existing and newly implemented services adhere to a minimum quality standard and package of services.

Building capacity for clinical mentoring and supportive supervision will link to the Partnership Framework's third goal of Leadership, Governance, Accountability and Management by improving the governance systems responsible for HIV and AIDS programs (particularly accountability, transparency and information flow).

WHO already provides technical support to the MOHSW to develop and update all monitoring tools related to HIV and AIDS. These same tools will be used for all monitoring and evaluation required for this collaboration.
