Disbursements have been too low over years, for instance, in the fiscal year 2016/17 when the GoT allocated 14 billion Tanzania Shillings, only 2 billion out of it was disbursed.

The Government of Tanzania (GoT) has allocated 22.5 billion Tanzanian Shillings for Family Planning in the fiscal year 2017/18. This serves as such a promising trend towards achieving and realizing the FP2020 commitments on financing element.

Contributed into the financing of family planning by either direct health facility financing, health sector basket fund or through different projects and interventions being implemented in several regions of the country.
