Community Health and Social Welfare Systems Strengthening Program Technical Brief

WEI/Bantwana led efforts to support the Government of Tanzania to develop a comprehensive, HIV-sensitive case management system for vulnerable children, the National Integrated Case Management System (NICMS), under the USAID funded Community Health and Social Welfare System Strengthening Project (CHSSP) led by JSI. The NICMS standardizes care and protection for most vulnerable children and their families, and integrates service provision between health, protection, and social welfare sectors to improve HIV outcomes. The NICMS strengthens referral networks and supports HIV status disclosure among families, contributing to improved HIV case finding, linkage to care, ART retention and adherence, and viral load suppression, all of which are needed to achieve the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets.
