DKT Tanzania was established in 2013 to respond to these issues through combined social marketing and clinical networking efforts. DKT Tanzania provides a wide range of high quality, affordable contraceptives. DKT Tanzania considers its mission to procure low cost, user-friendly contraceptives and fill the gaps in the supply chain that block women from using these products. Furthermore, the organization aims to challenge perceived norms regarding sex and contraception to move family planning and HIV prevention into the mainstream.
Organisation's Contributions
| Process Indicator | Contribution | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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. In turn, government through MoH has shown little buy-in and interest in Sayanna Press. Partners are required to generate enough evidence that will bear the rationale to why it must be approved. |
