JOB DETAILS:

For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.
Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM currently works in 30 countries across all continents where it focuses on 5 priority areas: emergency and crisis, sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction, migrants and displaced populations (health rights), health and environment.
MdM has been working in Tanzania since 1992 on HIV/AIDS development projects. Since 2010, MdM's focus in Tanzania has been the instauration of harm reduction services for people who use drugs. For years MdM ran the first comprehensive harm reduction programme in the country, in a district of Dar es Salaam. In 2020 the implementation was handed over to the local civil society and the funding to the global fund. MdM remained in Tanzania to support with technical expertise and to coordinate the scale-up of these programmes, that are now present in different locations in Tanzania.

In 2022, MdM has also started, together with national and international partners, several sexual and reproductive health interventions, both in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma, and will continue increasing its presence in this sector.
As part of a growing harm reduction regional approach, MdM Tanzania is starting new programmes in neighbouring countries. MdM is providing technical assistance and support in Burundi and Rwanda, programmes that are led from the Tanzania mission.
Also, in 2023, MdM Tanzania is starting an ambitious Unitaid (WHO) funded research project on Hepatitis C among PWUD. This 4 year-long project is a consortium led by MdM with the participation of prestigious research institutes.
