Description and results
Description
This project fully supports the Ministerial commitment of contributing $650M over three years in support of SRHR initiatives and the Ministerial priority of empowering women and girls. It also contributes to the Africa target. The project would address critical gaps in SRHR in Tanzania by partnering with Marie Stopes Tanzania (MST), the country’s largest specialised SRHR and family planning organization. Through support to MST’s outreach teams and network of clinics, the project would reduce unintended pregnancies and improve women & girls’ access to youth friendly, life-saving reproductive health services, including modern contraceptives and post-abortion care (unsafe abortion is a major cause of maternal death).
Expected results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved access to high quality sexual and reproductive health (especially family planning and comprehensive post-abortion care) products and services among women and girls in Tanzania (especially youth-friendly service provision); and (2) improved utilisation of sexual and reproductive health (especially family planning and comprehensive post-abortion care) services by women and girls in Tanzania.
Results achieved
The 5-year (2018-2023) GAC-funded Tanzanian Women and Girls Decide project aimed to empower women and girls to control their bodies and their fertility by providing access to youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services using outreach vehicle, integrated services in government clinics and services at Marie Stopes Tanzania’s (MST) own clinics. At the end of the project, December 2022, the MST has cumulatively reached 693,407 clients with comprehensive quality family planning (FP) services (605,494 females and 27,913 males) which is147% against the project’s target and generated 2,207,394 couple Years Protection. 75,152 or 11% of total clients reached cumulatively were adolescents (15–19 years of age) (66,512 females and 8,640 males) averting an estimated 1,740 maternal deaths, 989,447 unintended pregnancies, and 263,081 unsafe abortions. 20,591 women accessed safe post-abortion care services from MST Centres whereby 48% accessed safe post abortion care services from MST centers through waiver system.
