Initiative- Tupange Pamoja Project to address the reproductive health
needs of the urban poor population that will be implemented in Dar es
Salaam, Arusha, Morogoro, Mwanza and Dodoma Regions to scale up family
planning solutions.
Giving
the overview of the project, the Jhpiego Country Director Jeremie
Zoungrana says the Initiative is built around the premise that will be
putting municipalities in urban in the driver’s seat through an
innovative, demand- driven approach by ensuring that they bring their
own resources (cash or in-kind) to the table and the most promising
proposals to have access to the Challenge Fund, which is seeded by the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
“We
are happy that Tanzania has been identified to be part of the TCI to
scale up Family Planning in order to reach additional women and girls
with voluntary Family Planning services over the next three to five
years through the Tupange Pamoja Project. We sincerely thanks the
Government of Tanzania for their strong commitment and leadership
already observed at the decentralized level” says Jeremie

of the Government commitment the Guest of Honor Dr. Janeth Mghamba,
Acting Director of Preventive Services, Representing, Hon. Ummy Mwalimu,
the Minister of Health Community Development Gender Elderly and

Excellency, Doctor John Pombe Magufuli is preaching about Improved
economic conditions for its people and family planning is one of the
agenda toward attaining Sustainable Development Goals .
