About the program

Deloitte Tanzania has been awarded a contract to implement a Kizazi Hodari Southern Zone Activity in Tanzania. This is a five years’ project (March 2022 to February 2027) funded by the American People through USAID aiming at supporting the Government of Tanzania’s (GOT) Ministry of Health to achieve HIV epidemic control by improving the health, well-being, and protection of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) and youth in high HIV burden communities within the Southern Zones of Tanzania specifically Iringa, Njombe, Rukwa, Katavi, Songwe, Morogoro, Pwani, Mjini Magharibi, Lindi, Mtwara and Ruvuma regions. The program intends to increase access to and use of health/HIV, social, and protection services among OVC and youth in order to contribute to 95-95-95 goals: 95% of persons living with HIV (PLHIV) know their HIV status; 95% of PLHIV who know their status are on treatment; and 95% of PLHIV on treatment are virally suppressed, by 2030.

Deloitte Tanzania has an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified individual to join our USAID Kizazi Hodari Southern Zone Activity as Finance Director.
