This grant is for progressively building an indigenous, sustainable response to Tanzania’s national HIV epidemic by strengthening laboratory capacity. The selected applicant will provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW), and district/regional health management teams in both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. This involves comprehensive training for laboratory directors, managers, specialists, scientists, technologists, and technicians in essential HIV-screening and confirmatory tests. Additionally, healthcare workers will be trained in CD4 tests for disease staging, and basic chemistry/hematology for therapy monitoring. Non-laboratory staff involved in HIV counseling and testing, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, TB/HIV co-infection, and rapid HIV testing for blood safety programs will also receive crucial training.
