UNICEF
works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most
disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To
help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

The
Government of Tanzania, through the Ministry of Health (MoH), is
committed to improving the quality of healthcare services across the
country. MoH has the mandate to oversee the health delivery system,
including the development of policies, strategies, and guidelines, and
overseeing their implementation throughout the country, as well as
resource mobilization and the provision of technical support.
The
existing Tanzania Quality Improvement Framework (TQIF 2011- 2018) and
National Health and Social Welfare Quality Improvement Strategic Plan
2013–2018 (NHSWQISP-I, 2013–2018) have been instrumental in guiding
health service providers in maintaining and enhancing the quality of
care. Efforts to revise TQIF and NHSWQISP to align with ongoing changes
in health sector quality both locally and internationally began in 2018
and merged into the Tanzania Quality Improvement Strategic Framework
(TQISF).
Due to the rising need for quality health services and
significant investments in healthcare infrastructure at both primary and
referral health facilities, there is a need to revive efforts to
officiate the TQISF to guide quality improvement interventions in the
country. Moreover, with evolving healthcare needs, emerging challenges,
increased awareness for quality health care services, and advancements
in medical practices, also, towards implementation of universal health
insurance act 2023, it is necessary to ensure the quality health
services are consistently provided across all levels of service
delivery, particularly in primary health services where most people are
served. Therefore, it is crucial to revise, update and situate the TQISF
in the quality cycle articulating the triggers and links to other
processes aiming to improve quality of health care and move away from
vertical initiatives that further fragments the health care system.
• Address gaps and challenges identified in the current framework.
• Integrate new policies, guidelines, and best practices in quality improvement.
• Align the framework with national and international health standards.
• Enhance the capacity of healthcare providers to deliver high-quality services.
• Ensure the framework is user-friendly and practical for implementation at all levels of the healthcare system.
• Address increased awareness and outcry for quality health care services on the demand side.
The consultant will be required to revise and finalize the Tanzania Quality Improvement Framework (TQIF):
1. In what ways can the TQIF be holistic and address the needs of all directorates and programmes?
2. How can we situate the TQIF for wholistic quality improvement cycle and system?
