Abstract:

The Tanzania Public Health Association (TPHA) was commissioned by the POLICY Project to develop an HIV/AIDS questionnaire for conducting interviews with various stakeholders in the field at the national level. This questionnaire covers an assessment on political support, policy features, organisational structure, programme resources, monitoring, evaluation, and research, legal and regulatory, and programme components. This initial assessment covered stakeholders in the field of HIV/AIDS at the national level only. In the second phase, a sample of five districts will be included in the assessment. It is envisioned that the national questionnaire will be implemented every other year. The objectives were: to review and adapt the POLICY Project tool (HIV/AIDS Policy Environment Index) to the Tanzanian situation; to sensitise various stakeholders on the use of the tool; to assess the knowledge of the HIV/AIDS policy environment among stakeholders.
