The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO
has been working with broader range of partners to supporting government
efforts in particular realize positive health, education and gender equality
outcomes through sustained reductions in new HIV infections, unintended

purpose is to improve the sexual and reproductive health SRH outcomes of
adolescents and young people 1024 years in the United Republic of Tanzania
through increased access to high quality, age appropriate and gender
transformative life skills-based sexual and reproductive health & HIV
education, UNESCO in collaboration with the MoEST and MoHCDGEC hereby seeks
applications from qualified candidates and or institutions to undertake
“Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice KAP related to HIV, SRH and
GBV among school children in Tanzania Mainland”.

This work is grounded in to the fact that, there are notable and significant
investment by the ministries and partners around life skills-based HIV, SRH &
GBV education CSE in both primary and secondary schools, and yet,
information about the efficacy and results of ongoing interventions is
limited. This survey will help gathering information and provided evidence as
well as clear picture of the situation changes made at individual level in
terms of knowledge, risk perception and reported practices of learners after
being exposed to education related programs in school setting. Furthermore, it
will help the MoEST to measure the results of ESDP around this area, provide
MoHCDGEC with baseline information needed for the SHSP and inform UNESCO with
regards to the outcome of EHW programs.

Many partners have been working to support the government efforts and
initiatives in particular implementation of school-based LS, SRH, HIV and GBV
CSE programs that are in line with the ESDP, SHSP and NAIA. Over the period
of 5 years, UNESCO through the EHW has intensified its efforts in particular
initiatives aiming at scaling-up provision of quality, age & culturally
appropriate life skills-based SRH, HIV and GBV CSE education through intra-
curriculum & extra-curriculum. UNESCO support ranges from policy dialogues,
capacity building targeting teachers, curriculum developers, media
practitioners and programmers, and development of curriculum support
materials, strengthening coordination, monitoring & evaluation and generating
evidences around school-based health interventions.

In the 2016-2030 Global Health Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and
Adolescent’s Health, the UN Secretary General states that ‘by helping
adolescents to realize their rights to health, well-being, education and full
and equal participation in society, we are equipping them to attain their full
potential as adults’. Investing in the education and health of children and
adolescents is also essential to realize the potential benefits of the
demographic dividend. Reports on education statistics produced annually in
Tanzania show that many schools are reported to provide CSE, this is
encouraging achievement that assumed to have positive impact in terms of
knowledge, risk perception and positive health behaviour.
