Tanzania has a number of Partners who are supporting the Health sector in different avenues including HIV/AIDS, Maternal Newborn Health and Human Resources for Health.

The Benjamin William Mkapa HIV/AIDS Foundation (BMAF) is working in close partnership with the Government of United Republic of Tanzania, Non Governmental Organisation, Development partners and Corporates to support the national efforts in response to HIV/AIDS pandemic and other health services.

We are a trusted partner of the Government of Tanzania whereas we work closely with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) of both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar; Prime Minister's Office Regional Administration and Local Government (PMO-RALG) and  Presidents Office Public Service Management (POPSM).

Under the Ministry of Health & Social Welfare, the Foundation is particularly working closely with the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), the Directorate of Human Resource Development and Directorate of Personnel and Administration.

Partnership with the PMORALG is further extended and attached to the 134 Local Government Authorities, whereas the BMAF Programmes are being operationalised.

There have been various Development Partners that support the health sector through our BMAF innovative programmes which include Royal Norwegian Embassy, Global Fund to fight against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM); Clinton Health Access Initiative; USAID; World Lung Foundation and Abbott Fund.
