reflect state-of-the-art prevention, care and support
programming, are grounded in scientific evidence, and respond
appropriately to local contexts
• Assist partner organizations better understand and follow
PEPFAR reporting requirements and strategic direction
• Maximize effective utilization of multi-sectoral partnerships and
networks to achieve both programmatic impact and cost-
efficiency through close collaboration and coordination with key
national and local government counterparts and other
stakeholders.

5. PROPOSED ACTIVIES
1. Identify and analyze different models and approaches for
mainstreaming HIV/AIDS into development programs
and provide recommendations to USAID-Tanzania and
NRM/EG partners
2. Strengthen program monitoring and evaluation
capabilities and routine use of data for decision making

6. Proposed Activities (cont.)
