Overview of country economy and private sector landscape
While Tanzania has enjoyed domestic stability, most of its population live below the World Bank poverty line. Malaria is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Tanzania, costing an estimated $240 million every year in lost GDP.[4] Tanzania is reputed to have a relatively well developed policy environment for public-private collaboration in health, and one of the first governments in the region to create a comprehensive policy framework encouraging a greater role for the private sector in health. The creation of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare‘s (MOHSW‘s) Public-Private Partnership Technical Working Group (PPP-TWG) is also a demonstration of Tanzania’s commitment to promoting dialogue and development of public-private collaboration in health.
