Project Overview

The Project for Capacity Development in Regional Health Management Phase 2 (RHM2) began its operation in November 2011. The phase one project, known as TC-RRHM, aimed at strengthening the capacity of RHMT in the Tanzanian Health Systems through articulation of its roles and functions and developed Central Management Supportive Supervision (CMSS). The RHM2 will build on the outputs and the experience of the phase one project, develop further the RHMT’s capacity and strengthen the managerial capacity of the Council Health Management Teams (CHMT) and Regional Referral Hospital Management Teams (RRHMT) through the RHMT’s support including the Supportive Supervision. Through these efforts, RHM2 aims ultimately contribute to the improvement of health services in Tanzania.

  4. Harmonize and cooperate with relevant programmes of the Government of Tanzania, Development Partners, and JICA
  5. Support building the sustainable health system aiming at quality service provision to the people.
