And we never give up.

Community health programmes have been the backbone of Tanzanian primary health care (PHC) for several decades. By 2014, there were an estimated 41,000 community health workers (CHWs) on Tanzania mainland and 1,600 CHVs on Zanzibar. On the mainland, the majority of CHWs were volunteers and a landscaping analysis revealed poor coordination, lack of standardization, insufficient supervision, and monitoring of community health implementation. In May 2023, Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar hosted the in-country mission of the Community Health Road map partnership. This international platform has been established to elevate community health, reduce fragmentation, and explore sustainable financing mechanisms for scale up in countries with high burden of disease that could be addressed through stronger community health systems. The mission resulted in the United Republic of Tanzania joining the Community Health roadmap as its 16th country with the Ministers of Health on both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar expressing their strong support for a renewed Community Health agenda.

Community Health is a corner stone of UNICEF Tanzania’s Health program strategy on PHC system strengthening. As the country enters its next phase of policy development and implementation on both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar, UNICEF will continue to provide strong technical assistance at all levels. This requires engagement to provide technical advice during the upcoming review of curricula and guidelines, leveraging UNICEF’s convening mandate for effective partner coordination and steadfast guidance for implementation of community health programs during transition between the phases of national policy. UNICEF Tanzania Country Office’s (TCO) Health Section is therefore seeking an expert in community health with a strong technical background and excellent communication skills to work with the government on both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar.
Under the direct supervision and guidance of the Health Manager for Primary Health Care, the incumbent will lead UNICEF’s work with the government and implementing partners to strategically coordinate, design, implement and monitor community-based health services in Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar.
