Sauti is a 5-year USAID-funded award being implemented by
Jhpiego-Tanzania in collaboration with partners EngenderHealth, PACT and
NIMR/Mwanza.
The goal of Sauti is to contribute to the improved health of all
Tanzanians through a sustained reduction in new HIV infections in
support of the Government Tanzania through deploying new, and/or
enhancing existing, vulnerability-tailored high-quality combination HIV
prevention; positive health, dignity and prevention (PHDP); and family
planning (FP) services for key and vulnerable populations (KVP) in
selected regions of Tanzania. Anticipated project results include: 1)
Increased and timely use of HIV prevention and FP services; 2) Improved
positive behaviors and social norms at the individual and community
levels; 3) Reduced vulnerability of women through novel structural
interventions; and 4) Increasingly sustainable comprehensive HIV
prevention services for KVP.
The project is currently being implemented in 15 selected districts in
Iringa, Njombe, Mbeya, Shinyanga and Dar es Salaam regions. Starting 1
October 2015, the project is expanding to selected additional districts
in Mbeya, Lindi, Tabora, Morogoro, Morogoro, Kilimanjaro and Arusha
regions.
Jhpiego is therefore seeking to recruit a team of experienced medical,
public health, program, and finance professionals to implement this
exciting initiative.
