EXPAND Project—is a global five-year (2019-2024) U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID) funded project that supports
locally-driven efforts to increase the availability and utilization of
high-quality health and education services. In line with USAID’s Journey

meet crucial goals equitably and sustainably. NPI EXPAND will also

strengthening the capacity of NUPs with varying levels of capabilities
and exposure to USAID.

USAID
Tanzania is funding Amref Tanzania and its consortium partners to
implement the USAID Afya Shirikishi project, and Tanzania Health
Promotion Supports (THPS), and its partners to implement the USAID Uhuru
project. The USAID Afya Shirikishi project aims to address priority
gaps in tuberculosis (TB) case findings and unmet family planning (FP)
needs at the community level in nine targeted regions in the country by
2025. Amref Tanzania and its partners—the SHDEPHA+ Bahama, Tanzania
Communications and Development Center (TCDC), and MUKIKUTE—are
implementing the project in Dar es Salaam, Pwani, Zanzibar, Katavi,
Kigoma, Songwe, Rukwa, Geita, and Mwanza regions. On the other hand, the
USAID Uhuru project aims to improve access to, and use of, quality TB
and FP services for better health outcomes for Tanzanian citizens in
Katavi, Kigoma, Rukwa, and Songwe regions. The Uhuru project consortium
partners include Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation
Tanzania, Ifakara Health Institute (IHI), and Mwitikio wa Kudhibiti
Kifua Kikuu na UKIMWI Tanzania (MKUTA).

EXPAND activity in Tanzania is to increase access to and use of

Strengthen the organizational capacities of Amref
Tanzania, THPS, and their consortium partners in the Afya Shirikishi and
USAID Uhuru projects, respectively.

services in family planning, TB, and multi-drug resistant TB at the
health facility and community levels.
