Data analysis and use to inform progress and performance at the health facility and program level is crucial to plan and allocate resources. EPIMAT Consulting wants to contribute to building capacity to students, health care workers and program officers to analyze and use their own data.

The managing partner of EPIMAT Consulting, Dr.

Dr. Francis had yet another opportunity to work with Tanzania National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) to write the National Data Quality Assessment (DQA) report. The workshop was conducted in Tanga in 2018. The findings from the report will provide useful information to NACP, funding agencies such as Global Fund and USAID on the quality of data generated from the health facilities, areas to sustain the gains and improve. Quality data helps us plan better our resources. Looking forward to work with NACP in the future DQA activities.

Another great opportunity for EPIMAT Consulting to work with Sikika (www.sikika.or.tz) and contribute to understanding how 108 health facilities manage HIV commodities in 21 districts in Tanzania.

EPIMAT Consulting was excited to work with a consultant for United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime in Tanzania to assess the availability of comprehensive HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in 13 prisons (10 regions) in Tanzania. We trained research assistants and deployed to Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Iringa, Kagera, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya, Morogoro, Mtwara and Mwanza.
