EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This quarter, USAID Tulonge Afya had the privilege of supporting the Government of Tanzania in the
launch of the Furaha Yangu campaign, led by the Prime Minister and the Honorable Minister for
Health in Dodoma in June, followed by a series of regional launches. After over a year of working
extremely closely with Government colleagues, the project has been recognized at the highest level as
an implementing partner that can provide technical support and guidance to the Government in its
determined efforts to effect change that will lead to the adoption of healthy behaviors.

In addition to this success, a tremendous amount of work has been carried out in collaboration with
the MOHCDGEC, PORALG, and other stakeholders in support of the youth and adult strategy
development process; onboarding and early work under the community grants program; support to
other IPs, including AIDS FREE, Kizazi Kipya and Sauti; and technical assistance to the health programs
within the Ministry, including technical assistance on reemerging health issues, such as cholera.
The Health Promotion Section which has the mandate for coordination of SBCC is, with USAID Tulonge
Afya support, revitalizing their role within the regions and districts, re-engaging with Regional and
District Health Promotion staff to provide direction, motivation, and guidance on their co-ordination
role, and sharing of good practice. Capacity assessments have been completed at the national and
regional levels, and the capacity strengthening framework is in the process of being drafted.
Additionally, a national newsletter for Health Promotion is in draft, and a TOR for a new SBCC advisory
committee to the Health promotion and Health Protection Technical Working Group has been
submitted by HPS for internal approval.

A core package of integrated materials for use in communities by facility staff, community health
workers, and CSO volunteers and youth peer educators have been produced and are in use or in
progress. We are also excited that the adult platform, which has been branded Naweza ‘I can’,
embodying the emotional drivers of achievement, a bright future and a caring community, is being
prepared for launch with the first life cycle package of materials for pregnancy and childbirth.
Results for the reach of our mass media activities are very positive across all health areas Audience
insights in FP, MCH, and TB have all been completed and reported on this quarter and, alongside the
HIV and malaria insights reported on in previous quarters, have informed both the adult and youth
strategy, while our baseline analysis is complete and will be disseminated in Q4.
This has been a very busy and productive quarter and as we move towards the end of the year with a
relentless pace, the project is working extremely hard to ensure a continued close collaboration, not
only with the Government but also with our sister projects, USAID Boresha Afya and fellow IPs as we
all begin to formulate priorities for fiscal year 2019.

This quarter 3 report shares with you the highlights of the results of our work conducted together
with our partners the Government of Tanzania, Khanga Rue Media, T-MARC and TCDC while the large
body of appendices hold the reports and documents we have produced together.

Formative research
    Consultations to gather audience insight were conducted with target audiences for priority behaviors for
    FP/RH, MNCH, and TB.1 Important emotional drivers for each target audience were identified (Table 2).
    These drivers are expanded upon in summary reports in Appendices 2–4. The consultations also identified
    key barriers to desired behaviors. These findings will be used to support finalization of the project’s youth
    and adult strategies and will inform creative briefs for SBCC materials to be developed, in Q4.

During this quarter, media monitoring was conducted to track the estimated number of people reached through
project-supported radio spots (i.e., Wazazi Nipendeni, Green Star). Additionally, the MOHCDGEC continued to
support airing of Tunakuthamini and Stop TB radio spots this quarter after USAID Tulonge Afya’s accelerated
support for these radio spots ended. Media monitoring data for all four campaigns are presented in Table 4.

The baseline point was to assess the
extent to which the existing
campaign was recalled before the
accelerated support. The midline
survey, meant to assess the effect of
the support, was conducted this
quarter using computer-assisted
telephone interviews with 402 adult
respondents.

Additionally, reach and recall data
for campaigns implemented under
the project’s accelerated support
strategy were collected from 2,627
individuals using the omnibus survey
conducted in June/July 2018. Results
are shown in Tables 5 and 6.
