PEPFAR :
Dar es Salaam, TANZANIA. At a virtual ceremony from Dar es Salaam on April 30, 2021, United States Ambassador Dr. Donald J. Wright awarded grants from the U.S. Ambassador’s Fund for HIV/AIDS Relief (AFHR) to 11 registered civil society, nonprofit, and faith-based organizations from across Tanzania to implement community-led monitoring projects that improve HIV services in the country.
Funding for the grants comes from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which represents the U.S. Government’s commitment to confront the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It remains the single largest effort by any country in the world to combat a single disease. Since PEPFAR’s inception in 2003, the U.S. Government has contributed more than $5 billion to address HIV in Tanzania alone.
Grant recipients responded to an open call for proposals to implement community-led monitoring (CLM) activities in their local communities. The projects will focus on improving the quality of HIV services by gathering data about HIV patients’ problems, challenges, and barriers related to HIV service access, uptake, and retention at health facilities. The results from these monitoring efforts will assist health facilities and local government to make continuous quality improvements to the HIV services offered. This will advance the standard of care and make the process more straightforward and customer service oriented for people living with HIV. The goal is to ultimately improve the quality of life for PEPFAR beneficiaries.
The Ambassador’s Fund for HIV/AIDS Relief (AFHR) started in 2009 and has provided grants to more than 140 community-based and nonprofit organizations in Tanzania. The United States is proud to continue the strong tradition of partnering with these organizations in pursuit of Tanzania’s HIV epidemic control goals.
