At a ceremony at the U.S. Ambassador residence in Dar es Salaam on October 15, 2020, United States Ambassador Dr. Donald J. Wright awarded grants from the U.S. Ambassador’s Fund for HIV/AIDS Relief (AFHR) to 13 registered civil society, nonprofit, and faith-based organizations from across Tanzania to implement projects that address HIV in the country. 


Funding for the grants comes from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which represents the U.S. Government’s commitment to confront the HIV/AIDS epidemic.  It remains the single largest effort by any country in the world to combat a single disease.  Since PEPFAR’s inception in 2003, the U.S. Government has contributed more than $4.6 million to address HIV in Tanzania alone.


 Grant recipients responded to an open call for proposals to address issues related to HIV/AIDS in their local communities.  Proposed projects addressed improving understanding of HIV and strengthening access to services among people living with HIV, orphans and vulnerable children, key and vulnerable populations, men and young men, and adolescent girls and young women. 


The winning projects focus on key strategic priorities including improved treatment literacy among people living with HIV; reduction of stigma and discrimination; innovative solutions to reduce gender-based violence (GBV) and access GBV services; reaching men with HIV testing and linkage to treatment; and improved quality of HIV services through community-led monitoring.


The Ambassador’s Fund for HIV/AIDS Relief (AFHR) started in 2009 and has provided grants to more than 130 community-based and nonprofit organizations in Tanzania.  The United States is proud to continue the strong tradition of partnering with these organizations in pursuit of Tanzania’s HIV epidemic control goals.
