Selected Achievements

• Jhpiego strengthened Tanzania’s health security infrastructure by improving laboratory systems, surveillance, and biosafety, integrating services into national plans, and supporting coordinated responses to pandemics and emerging threats.

• Jhpiego advanced malaria prevention and control by integrating early epidemic detection into national surveillance, strengthening case management, and mentoring providers in both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar to support malaria elimination.

• We improved maternal health through high-impact interventions that reduced maternal mortality by 24% in 10 regions, including Zanzibar. Between 2022 and 2024, Jhpiego-supported facilities provided antenatal care to over 1 million women, supported 2.5 million safe deliveries, and increased early antenatal care attendance, syphilis screening, and IPTp3 uptake.

• We improved newborn and child health between 2022 and 2024 by strengthening adherence to IMCI protocols, which rose from 32% to 62%. In supported regions, admissions for low birth weight, asphyxia, and neonatal sepsis declined, newborn deaths fell and nearly 2 million cases of pneumonia and diarrhea were treated. Case fatality rates dropped by 27% for pneumonia, 50% for diarrhea, and one-third for malaria.

• Jhpiego expanded access to family planning between 2023 and 2024. Postpartum family planning uptake, long-acting method acceptance, and the number of additional modern contraceptive users all increased significantly, reaching over 1.3 million by the end of 2024.

• Jhpiego strengthened nutrition services by training more than 2,200 health workers and integrating nutrition assessment into immunization and reproductive health clinics.

• We expanded childhood immunization across Tanzania and Zanzibar, reaching more than 3.6 million children under five with essential vaccines. By 2024, coverage on the mainland exceeded 90% and surpassed WHO’s 95% benchmark in Zanzibar, reflecting stronger, more equitable immunization systems.

• We increased access to breast cancer services by promoting awareness and screening in 45 districts. In the first six months of 2025, more than 17,000 women were screened, 58 cases were confirmed, and 95% were diagnosed within 60 days to enable timely treatment.

• Between August 2022 and January 2025, more than 250,000 circumcisions were performed among males ages 15 and above, with high acceptance of the ShangRing method. According to the 2022–23 Tanzania HIV Impact Survey, male circumcision coverage improved across all regions, with Jhpiego’s technical support contributing meaningfully toward the national goal of 95% coverage.
