for KVP and PLHIV, working with and through community-based
stakeholders, sub-national Government of Tanzania authorities, health
facilities, KVP, and PLHIV to reduce new HIV infections, improve the
quality of life for PLHIV, and improve other reproductive health
outcomes. Additionally, the CCC-KVP will further strengthen capacity of
local partners as they transition to receive and independently manage
funds from the USG. The CCC-KVP project will implement activities in
Iringa, Njombe, Kilimanjaro, Tabora, Morogoro, Mbeya, Dar es Salaam,
