The Multi-Sectoral AIDS Project aims at financing national programs on HIV/AIDS for both the Mainland and Zanzibar governments, in order to reduce the spread of HIV through multi-sectoral actions involving the Government, non-government, civil society and community organizations. To this end, the project components will: 1) mobilize communities to expand, and strengthen activities to be funded within the full spectrum of HIV/AIDS responses for prevention, care, and support, as well as mitigation of socioeconomic impacts of the epidemic. The conceptual basis for this component is that the factors determining the spread of HIV are only to a limited extent under the influence of the Government; thus, where traditional, cultural values become critical, civil society has to play an important role as a partner responsive to the epidemic; 2) provide funds to strengthen prevention, care, and mitigation of the epidemic through public sector programs, supporting: a) the Ministry of Health in the HIV/AIDS work-plan, that includes medical interventions, procurement of commodities and services, and awareness campaigns; b) other ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to implement their own comprehensive work-plans, addressing both the internal, and external impacts of the epidemic in the specific ministry, relative to their work. Capacity building, information education and communication campaigns, and, impact studies will be supported; 3) support the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS) in fulfilling the HIV/AIDS coordination mandate, i.e., its advocacy, providing leadership responsive to the epidemic, and monitoring and evaluation responsibilities, including institutional strengthening, and core functions related to TACAIDS' mandate; and, 4) support Zanzibar HIV/AIDS similarly to the three previous components to the Mainland, though details within this component will be further elaborated, in a more flexible, dynamic response given the smaller scale of Zanzibar.
