1) Digital Health

Problem

Many Tanzanian facilities still rely on paper records, slowing decision-making and limiting service delivery. Existing digital platforms are often fragmented and difficult for health workers to use.

McF Approach

Co-design simple digital tools with health workers (e.g., stock trackers, dashboards).
Train users and managers in digital literacy and troubleshooting.
Integrate solutions with national systems like DHIS2 to ensure sustainability.
Support governments with planning, governance, and financing for long-term use.

2) Health Workforce

Problem

Tanzania faces severe health worker shortages—especially in rural areas. Many health workers lack opportunities for continuous training, mentorship, and career progression.

McF Approach

Support government workforce planning to deploy staff equitably.
Train health workers at all levels—from CHWs to specialists—through on-the-job mentorship.
Strengthen supervision, feedback, and recognition systems to improve performance and retention.
Advocate for sustainable financing for salaries and training through domestic and donor funds.
