Tabora Maternal Newborn Health Initiative (TAMANI) project (Finished)

Tabora Maternal and Newborn Health Initiative (TAMANI) project, primed by AGOTA was a partnership project including CARE, The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada, (SOGC), the Association of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians of Tanzania (AGOTA),

the Canadian Society for International Health (CSIH), McGill University’s Institute for Health & Social Policy, and the Tanzanian Government. The project involved training of health care providers (clinicians, nurse, and midwives) on EmONC using government training guides. 
The health care providers were later followed up in their workplaces for close coaching and mentoring during service provision by AGOTA trainers. We also developed Job aid postures for health providers to have quick references during service provision. The project also was
to be the platform for close collaboration between AGOTA and SOGC on issues concerning improvement of maternal and child health services in Tanzania. The key outcome of theTAMANI project was to contribute to the reduction of maternal and newborn mortality and
morbidity in Tabora, Tanzania. Additionally, TAMANI improved the availability of quality reproductive, maternal, and newborn health services and increased utilization of reproductive, maternal, and newborn health services by women and their families in Tabora region.
