Abstract
With support from the Council Health Management Teams, communities in both Rufiji and Morogoro Rural districts (Tanzania) have mobilized resources to rehabilitate health facilities in their villages. This edition of the Tanzania Essential Health Interventions Project (TEHIP) newsletter reports on community participation where, using their own resources, communities have actively involved themselves in initiating, planning and managing their development projects. For instance, the Rufiji demographic surveillance survey system (DSS) employs a household registration system (HRS), which is a unified, decentralized data system documenting all births, deaths, causes of death, marriages, in and out-migrations and socio-economic status.
