The U.S. Government strategy builds on existing structures and plans, working in concert with the Government of Tanzania and other donors. Tanzania's development of a national policy on HIV/AIDS marked a milestone in its response to the epidemic. This effort was reinforced by concurrent establishment of a high level, multi-sectoral commission in the Prime Minister's office (the Tanzanian Commission on AIDS or TACAIDS). On the |
mainland, TACAIDS is the strategic leader and coordinator. The Zanzibar AIDS Commission is responsible for overall leadership and coordination of the response on the islands.
Under PEPFAR, Tanzania received more than $70.7 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2004, nearly $108.8 million in FY2005, $130 million in FY2006, and approximately $205.5 million in FY2007 to support comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care programs. PEPFAR is providing $313.4 million in FY2008.
