Perspectives and recommendations for USAID/Tanzania on community-based distribution (CBD) programs

USAID/Tanzania has a unique opportunity to help set new directions for Tanzania's CBD program. CBD fits well into the overall USAID/Tanzania strategy, and can contribute to a solid family planning program. Tanzania is large, heavily rural and still in the early stages of demographic transition. CBD is particularly appropriate as an access strategy for isolated rural areas, and in conjunction with promotion of LTPMs and other public health interventions.
