In Tanzania, institutional efforts to combat HIV/AIDS started in 1985 by establishing a National Taskforce within the Ministry of Health. This was so because the HIV/AIDS epidemic was first perceived as a health problem, and the initial control efforts were formulated and based within the health sec...tor. In 1988, the task force was transformed into a fully-fledged National AIDS Control Programme (NACP).

This Communication Guide for Malaria Control Interventions is aligned with Tanzania’s Malaria Strategic Plan (2015–2020) and provides comprehensive guidance on the implementation of Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malaria. It is int...ended for all stakeholders and implementing partners, with the aim of ensuring harmonised messaging and coordinated communication efforts. The guide outlines strategies, key messages, communication channels and target audiences, with a focus on sustaining and improving malaria-related behaviours at the individual, family and community levels. It incorporates malaria stratification and supports the development of tailored SBCC interventions in different risk areas. Developed with contributions from the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the National Malaria Control Programme and various partner organisations, the guide aims to reduce the malaria burden and promote a malaria-free Tanzania. Supplemented by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), the guide serves as a practical tool for consistent and effective malaria communication nationwide.

The TACT training manuals and patient leaflet were developed as part of the ACT Consortium's initiative to improve malaria case management by promoting the correct use of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). The TACT ("Targeting ACTs") initiative aims to ensure that artemisinin-based combination therapies... (ACTs) are used appropriately, treating only confirmed malaria cases and guiding alternative care for other febrile illnesses.

Les manuels de formation TACT et la brochure destinée aux patients ont été élaborés dans le cadre de l'initiative du consortium ACT visant à améliorer la prise en charge du paludisme en encourageant l'utilisation correcte des tests de diagnostic rapide (TDR). L'initiative TACT (Targeting ACTs...) vise à garantir l'utilisation appropriée des combinaisons thérapeutiques à base d'artémisinine (ACT), en ne traitant que les cas de paludisme confirmés et en orientant les patients vers d'autres traitements pour les maladies fébriles non liées au paludisme. Les manuels proposent une formation interactive sur le lieu de travail pour aider les personnels de santé à passer d'un traitement présomptif à un diagnostic fondé sur des tests, conformément à la politique de l'OMS. La brochure d'accompagnement destinée aux patients, disponible en anglais et en swahili, s'appuie sur des récits illustrés pour expliquer l'utilité et le fonctionnement des TDR, répondre aux inquiétudes les plus courantes et encourager la confiance dans les résultats des tests. Ces documents, dont la clarté et la compréhension ont été testées au préalable, permettent d'opérer des changements durables dans la pratique clinique et la communication avec les patients au sein des établissements de soins primaires tanzaniens.
