Tanzania
Tanzania is a hub of commerce and migration, and the country has made great strides in reducing HIV incidence rates, as evidenced by the Tanzania HIV Impact Survey (THIS) implemented by the Ministry of Health and ICAP in 2017. However, key and hard-to-reach populations are still at increased risk. ICAP partners with the Ministry of Health to improve HIV prevention, care, and treatment for these populations and to explore innovative ways of offering services and linking individuals to care. ICAP also supports the Ministry in addressing the global health security agenda for emerging threats such as COVID-19 and Ebola Virus Disease on disease surveillance and laboratory system strengthening for the Integrated Diseases Surveillance Response (IDSR) system.
