Abstract
Through the Tanzania Essential Health Interventions Project (TEHIP), a series of management tools have allowed district health teams to vastly improve their health systems and bring about startling health improvements. These tools are designed to allow health planners to do more with existing resources. In both pilot program regions, the introduction of TEHIP tools significantly improved budget allocation. In the 5 years following the introduction of evidence-based planning, child mortality in the two districts fell by over 40% and death rates for men and women between 15 and 60 years old declined by 18%.
