Background
\nThe Christian Social Services Commission (CSSC) is an ecumenical body established in 1992 by the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) and Tanzania Episcopal Conference (TEC) to coordinate and strengthen the delivery of health and education services by member churches in Tanzania. CSSC coordinates a network of more than 900 church-owned health facilities, the majority of which are rural-based, contributing nearly 14% of all health facilities in Tanzania, and 1,000 church-based education institutions providing 10% of all education services offered in Tanzania.
\nMinistry of Health, through Global Fund Cycle 7 (GFC7) Grant support, implements an essential TB\/HIV Community-based Program (Oct 2025 \u2013 Dec 2026) in support of the national effort to sustain and expand community HIV and TB services. The GFC7 community-based program is implemented in collaboration with Lead CSO \u2013 Christian Social Services Commission (CSSC) and four Sub-sub Recipients (SSRs): TAYOA, NACOPHA, MKUTA and STEPS. The program focuses on community-based TB\/HIV services across 185 councils and prioritises peer-led service delivery and integration with Local Government Authorities.
