the united republic of tanzania health sector hiv and aids strategic plan

3.0. SECTION THREE
IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK AND ITS
OPERATIONALISATION
3.1. Implementation Arrangements
The Strategy defines the activities to be implemented at central level by the Ministry of Health in all its
structures with the oversight of the MHOSW through the NACP. It also provides guidance concerning the
activities which need to be implemented at district and community levels through the District and Municipal
Councils. The NGOs, private sector and civil society will participate in the implementation of the activities at
both national and lower levels according to their capacities and comparative advantages.
Each department of the Ministry of Health at central level will develop annual work plans in line with the
fiscal year, for implementation, based on this strategy. These annual work plans will be funded through the
budget within the MTEF of the ministry of Health. The Health Sector HIV/AIDS Strategy has defined the
interventions to be implemented at district level. The implementation of these will be under the District
Councils. Therefore, the District and Municipal Councils will have to incorporate the HIV and AIDS
interventions into their comprehensive district plans based on the Strategic Plan for the health sector.
The Council Health Management Teams (CHMT) will be responsible for implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of the district health sector based HIV/AIDS activities. In so doing, they will involve all relevant
stakeholders at the district and community levels. The activities in the district plan will be budgeted for
funding under the MTEF of the President’s Office, Regional- Administration and Local Government and
also supported through the activities of the community based organizations.
In supporting districts to operationalize the Health Sector Strategy, the Ministry of Health will sub-contract
some NGOs where they exist to help the districts incorporate the interventions suggested in the Health
Sector Plan.
In addition to supporting the councils in planning, the Ministry of Health will continue to undertake quality
assurance for the response at district level as well as advocating for the health sector HIV and AIDS
response to the districts. It will play this role through its Zonal Training Centers, RHMTs, and CHMTs.
The following prioritization criteria is proposed to be used:
