As part of USG Tanzania's focus on sustainability, this activity will help to strengthen the regional medical office and its management teams.One vital strategy is to transition away from indirect assistance provided by external US-based organizations toward direct funding of these regional health authorities. They would receive financial management support from the USG in managing this new funding relationship. With this direct funding, they would in turn fund activities to enhance their skills and to carry out basic coordination tasks. A funding opportunity announcement will be developed which will target regional health authorities nationwide. In the second year, up to four regions would be selected based on the strength of their application. If a selected region already has a USG ART partner, that partner would concentrate on ensuring that the RHMTs receive focused training on HIV/AIDS, such as clinical management and supportive supervision; they would involve the RHMTs within these supportive supervision visits, and consult with both the RHMTs and District Health Management Teams (DHMTs) in planning the expansion of services. The services of other USG partners will be made available to these regional authorities in assuring quality of training and preceptorships as well as project planning and financial management.
