  • Description:
    Financial Incentives in Tanzania is a structural intervention that offers usual care and a monthly monetary transfer conditional on visit attendance for up to 6 months to people with HIV starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Tanzania. One of two amounts are offered: 10000 Tanzanian shillings ($4.50 in US dollars – the smaller incentive group) and 22500 Tanzanian shillings ($10.00 US dollars – the larger incentive group). The incentives are intended to motivate clinic attendance, with the amounts chosen in consultation with local and national stakeholders and designed to motivate clinic attendance and to partly cover the costs of transportation, food, and lost wages for the day spent at the clinic. Cash transfers are delivered a maximum of once monthly via an automated mobile money system that is linked to a biometric attendance monitoring system. Specifically, participant fingerprints and mobile banking account details are registered in the mHealth system. Subsequent clinic attendance is logged in the mHealth system upon a fingerprint scan administered by a pharmacist or research assistant at the pharmacy. Participants who do not have access to a mobile banking account receive money in hand from a research assistant. Participants can receive a maximum of six transfers totaling a potential $27 to $60 USD depending on study group and visit attendance.
