USAID Awards FHI Project to Protect Youth from AIDS NOVEMBER 2006 — USAID has awarded FHI/Tanzania a five-year, $25 million project to protect youth from AIDS. Called UJANA (Swahili for "Youthfulness"), the project will work with influential adults and community members to help youth develop skills to abstain from or delay sex, remain faithful to one partner if engaged in a relationship, reduce their number of sexual partners, or if appropriate, use condoms. UJANA particularly focuses on gender relations. FHI also provides technical assistance to Tanzania's HIV/AIDS care and support activities through the USAID-funded IMPACT Project and the newly awarded Bilateral Project. FHI activities focus on responding to the Government of Tanzania's strategic objective to provide comprehensive care across the continuum of home to healthcare facilities.
In Tanzania, FHI is identifying and prioritizing local research needs, fostering collaborative partnerships, and engaging local stakeholders to guide the process of putting research into practice. We work closely with the Ministry of Health, local universities, the USAID Mission, collaborating agencies, and local nongovernmental organizations, research firms, and advocacy groups.
FHI's strong partnerships with U.S. and host-country governmental agencies, international NGOs, universities, and local and faith-based organizations play a vital role in our high-quality research and programs. USAID is FHI's main donor for our work in Tanzania.
FHI/Tanzania is here to help. If you want to learn more about the office, visit the Contact Web page.
