The Strengthening Health Outcomes through the Private Sector (SHOPS) project, led by Abt Associates and funded by USAID, conducted a private sector assessment of Tanzania with the IFC-World Bank Health in Africa Initiative. This brief is a summary of those findings. 

Given the relatively organized state of Tanzania’s private health sector and the Tanzanian government’s focus on building strong public-private partnerships, the overall goal of these recommendations is to present actionable steps for the public and private sectors to fully leverage private sector resources and achieve national health goals in HIV/ AIDS, reproductive and child health, malaria, and tuberculosis.
