Implementing a Task Sharing Plan for Health Workers in Tanzania

The Technical Support Services Project (TSSP) worked with the Tanzania Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly, and Children (MOHCDGEC) to develop a comprehensive task-sharing (TS) plan for health workers. The plan includes policy guidelines; implementation and training plans; integration with technical documents, such as the National HIV/AIDS Guidelines and Supportive Supervision Guidelines; regulatory framework and documentation; and continuing professional development (CPD) learning modules. The task-sharing plan aims to strengthen Tanzania’s health system, with a focus on human resources, and improve availability of HIV/AIDS and other services.
