Marie Stopes Tanzania

Objet publié

The project aims to reduce unintended pregnancies and improve women and girls’ access to youth friendly, life-saving reproductive health services. This includes modern contraceptives and comprehensive reproductive health services. Project activities include: (1) providing personal protective equipment to centres and outreach teams; (2) sensitizing communities on family planning and the coronavirus (COVID-19); and (3) continuing to provide safe sexual and reproductive health services. The targeted COVID-19 response allocation allowed Marie Stopes Tanzania to ensure ongoing delivery of sexual and reproductive health services. Personal Protection Equipment was distributed to service providers, community health workers, and support staff keeping them safe to provide services. This additional contribution allowed MST to continue to provide health services during the COVID-19 pandemic, and contributing to the end of project results.
