BACKGROUND/scope of work
USAID/TanzaniarequestedsupportfromAIDSTAR-One toprovide technical assistance tonew and/or
local ‘wrap-around’ partners to maximize HIV/AIDS program effectiveness and impact.
USAID/Tanzaniaexpectsthatasa resultof capacity buildingand institutional strengthening efforts,
partnerrecipientswill improve the quality of programming, thereby increasing the scale, coverage
and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS programming though diverse civil society sectors in Tanzania.
AIDSTAR-One works with for Natural Resource Management/Economic Growth partners to
strengthen their capacity to show results and improved program outcomes by implementing high
quality, multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS OVC, care and/or prevention programs. AIDSTAR-One focuses on
HIV/AIDS skills transfer in key technical and program management areas. By strengthening the
involvement of new and local partners, USAID/Tanzania aims to ensure results and country
ownershipforamore sustainable, high-quality and increasingly multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS response.
As suchAIDSTAR-One issupportingintegrationof HIV inthe following programmes:
- the Gombe-Masito-UgalaEcosystem(GMU) Program implementedby Jane Goodall Institute
inKigoma,
- Scalingup ConservationandLivelihoodsEffortsinNorthernTanzania implementedby
AfricanWildlife Foundation ,
- The Pwani ProjectimplementedbyTanzaniaCoastal ManagementProgram/Universityof
Rhode Island incollaborationwith UZIKWASA,
- TanzaniaAgricultural ProductivityProgramimplementedbyFINTRAC.
One of the support needs identified by AIDSTAR-One is that all partners would benefit from
strong monitoring and evaluation support, in particular on reviewing workplans, PMPs, and
selectingandreportingonthe PEPFAR NextGeneration indicators reference guide 1.1. Partners
consistentlyrequestedmore informationandsupportaroundthe new PEPFARindicators,and,in
particular,helpwithidentifyingwhichPEPFARindicators are includedinthe workplans. Partners
alsorequestedsupporttoensure full compliancewithreportingontheirindicators.Some of this
concern appears to be due to their lack of knowledge about the new changes under PEPFAR 2,
and how this may affect PEPFAR’s expectations of the partners.
