| Advocate for the inclusion of new contraceptive technologies like DMPA-SC into the Tanzania National Clinical Guidelines | Advocacy efforts for endorsement of Sayana Press | There have been efforts by various partners including Advance Family Planning (AFP), Tanzania Communication and Development Centre (TCDC), DKT, Population Services International (PSI), to mention the few.
