Description

This report provides a detailed proposal to AusAID seeking financial assistance to support the GHAWA's initiative concentrating in Tanzania. The initiatives are aligned with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in particular MDG 4: reducing child mortality and MDG 5: improving maternal health. The aim is to improve maternal and child health indicators through the proposed programs identified in the document, that is:

• supporting the provision of nursing and midwifery education in Tanzania to scale up the human resource capacity by educating prospective nurses and midwives, and further up-skill existing academic experts. In doing so this increases capability and improves sustainability.
• supporting the provision of text books and infrastructure redevelopment
• strengthening the clinical mentorship capacity of nurses and midwives
• contributing to skills laboratory education and development
• improving access to emergency obstetric care hospital facilities and improved public health care services.
