Description:The Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MOHCDGEC) in Tanzania implements national strategies to reduce maternal deaths and improve reproductive health by strengthening antenatal care provision, expanding emergency obstetric services, and increasing both knowledge and use of contraception.
The ministry has also collaborated with multiple nongovernmental partners to achieve shared goals for improving reproductive health. For more than 10 years, Bloomberg Philanthropies has supported efforts to improve maternal and newborn health by upgrading health facilities to better provide comprehensive emergency and neonatal care (CEmONC) services in Kigoma Region through the Initiative for Maternal and Reproductive Health in Tanzania. More recently, the Initiative’s activities have included integrating family planning and comprehensive post-abortion care into various health facilities.
Evaluating the impact of such interventions is vital to achieving Tanzania’s reproductive health goals, including reducing maternal mortality. Change over time (or the lack of change) in important indicators can suggest to program planners which initiatives are having an effect, and which may need to be adjusted. The 2014 Kigoma Reproductive Health Survey (RHS) provided a baseline assessment of demographic indicators related to maternal and newborn health outcomes, knowledge and use of maternal health services, knowledge and use of contraception, and exposure to health promotion programs.1 This 2016 mid-term RHS survey assesses the same indicators to determine where progress has been made on key reproductive health indicators thus far, and to suggest where additional efforts might be needed to reach the Initiative’s goals. A final RHS survey is planned for 2018 to assess the progress made in improving reproductive health in Kigoma since the start of the initiative.
