MDH evolved from the former Harvard-PEPFAR program in Tanzania which was a collaboration of Harvard school of public Health(USA), Dar es Salaam City council and Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS).
This collaboration worked with the government to provide HIV care and treatment services starting from Dar es salaam region in 2004 and later expanding to other regions in Tanzania
(MDH) is an indigenous-Tanzanian non-Governmental
Organisation with principal place of business in Tanzania. MDH’s central office is located at Mikocheni B, along Mwai Kibaki road in Dar es Salaam.
MDH’s work is primarily in public health service and research in Tanzania and the world at large. MDH seeks to mobilize and engage a team of skilled, experienced and motivated Tanzanian professionals to work in collaboration with the government and with other local and international experts to address public health priorities through evidence based interventions.
A healthy and prosperous society
To support, promote and address public health priorities through evidence based and innovative interventions in collaboration with the government, other partners, stakeholders and communities
Professionalism, Integrity, Collaboration and Accountability
MDH’s core business encompasses design, implementation and evaluation of programs and research in Communicable diseases, Chronic non-communicable diseases, Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, Nutrition, Health Information Systems, Health System Strengthening and others.
Stakeholders’ involvement is a very common term applied in implementing technology solutions including health information systems (HIS). It is recommended that stakeholders get involved at all stages, contribution to inputs, processes and outputs/results. Stakeholders play a role in various aspects including; assessing information systems, building consensus around the priority needs, contribute to both financial and technical support for implementation of agreed priorities, promoting and generating the use of information in improving health care (WHO – HMN, 2008).
From 2015 to 2020 the Management and Development for Health (MDH) implemented the Health Information System (HIS) Development and Systems Integration Support Project, with funding from the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The project aimed at strengthening the health information systems in order to support the use of patient information for providing quality HIV and other health services. Besides, the project aimed at improving retention, improving linkages along the continuum of care, improving the use of available resources and improving evidence-based decision made across all levels of health care in Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar. In their capacity, MDH provided technical assistance in developing and strengthening various health information systems in both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar including; CTC2, CTC3, DHIS2-HIV module, Health Facility Registry (HFR), Afya care, mHealth, National Health Client Registry (NHCR) and Biometric.
Collaboration and consultation with stakeholders is recognized as one of key components of HIS in a number of strategic documents in both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar including: The Tanzania National eHealth Strategy (2013-2018), the Tanzania Digital Health Investment Road Map (2017-2023) and the Zanzibar HIS strategic Plan (2012-2020). (Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, 2013),(United Republic of Tanzania, 2017),(RGoZ, 2012). With the project support being above site, MDH required a clear coordination and collaborative at both national and sub-national levels to able to meet its objectives. This was in line with national policies as well as evidence from similar initiatives across the globe. Key categories of stakeholders for this particular project included the Government of Tanzania through the MoHCDGEC and PORALG, funders (PEPFAR), technology partners (software developers) and implementing partners
From the evaluation, it was evident how each stakeholder contributed to the success in building/strengthening health information systems such as:
• Both Governments, the RGoZ and the GoT through responsible departments, provided overall leadership and strategic direction
• MDH and its sub-contractors played a critical role in providing above site technical support in building and/or upgrading the systems to meet needs and requirements of the users and partners. • MDH led coordination efforts to bring all partners and stakeholders together under the leadership of the MoHCDGEC through National Aids Control Programme (NACP)
• PEPFAR IPs supported rollout of HIS to the facility level in their regions of support, including regular system updates
• The donor, PEPFAR, held regular performance review meetings with the Government’s ministry bodies
• The MoHCDGEC through NACP collaborated with MDH to coordinate regular stakeholders’ meetings such as system users acceptance testing, and system performance review and feedback

Church World Service was born in 1946, in the aftermath of World War II. Seventeen denominations came together to form an agency “to do in partnership what none of us could hope to do as well alone.” The mission: Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, comfort the aged, shelter the homeless.
Now 75 years later the mission remains, though where and how we accomplish it has changed dramatically.
In 1946-47, U.S. churches opened their hearts and provided more than 11 million pounds of food, clothing, and medical supplies to war-torn Europe and Asia. Protestants and Catholics pooled talent and resources to meet a staggering refugee crisis. Today the Immigration and Refugee Program of CWS is a vital, internationally-recognized operation, having resettled nearly half a million refugees since its inception.
Also in 1947, CWS, Lutheran World Relief, and the National Catholic Welfare Program created a joint community hunger appeal, the Christian Rural Overseas Program, also known as CROP. The acronym is gone but the name and life-saving work remains as CROP Hunger Walks in some 800+ communities across the United States.
That early CROP initiative captured the imagination of America’s heartland. Soon “Friendship Trains” roared across the country, picking up commodities such as corn, wheat, rice, and beans to be shared around the world. The experience of the trains led to “Friendship Food Ships.” And, a multi-denominational program called One Great Hour of Sharing was formed to raise in-church gifts to help fill these ships. CWS continued to provide community-wide opportunities for sharing.
In the 1950s and 60s, CWS expanded its reach across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
As the ’60s dawned, CWS began to augment its emergency assistance work with support for long-range, problem-solving efforts – what came to be known as development.
Development begins at the grassroots. CWS recognized early on that to be successful projects and programs must come from the people themselves, not be imposed by others.
CWS sought out local agencies who share this vision of empowering self-help and long-standing partnerships were forged.
Over the years the success stories have been many. One of the first was in Algeria, in North Africa. Over four years, using more than 5 million human-days of volunteer labor, some 20 million forest and fruit trees were planted to anchor the soil against nature’s persistent erosion.
In India, CWS helped countless villages construct reservoirs, dig wells, and lay irrigation systems. The result: “drought insurance” and improved food production.
The same partnerships that enhanced our development efforts have enabled CWS to maximize our response to disasters.
The story of the CROP Hunger Walk goes back to 1969. Teens in Bismarck, North Dakota and York County, Pennsylvania decided it was time to do something for families who had to walk miles for food and clean water. So they walked…and, because they took that first step, hunger has forever been changed. Today, millions of people across nearly every state have participated.
In the 1970s CWS work evolved in significant ways. Our work in grassroots development inspired a deeper analysis of the root causes of hunger and poverty. As a result, in 1974 CWS – in collaboration with Lutheran World Relief – established the Development Policy Office in Washington, D.C. to represent CWS concerns about hunger to U.S. government bodies.
The importance of this work was further ratified in 1978 by the findings of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger, which noted that the primary cause of hunger was poverty, i.e. human-made. Thus what was missing to end hunger was the political will to do so. The Report also called for a concerted effort to increase education on hunger and its causes. Staff from the CWS Development Policy office served on this Commission.
In 1976, in order to provide greater support to refugees and their sponsors in the USA, CWS established refugee resettlement offices in various parts of the U.S. They played a pivotal role in supporting the growing number of refugees from Southeast Asia who were resettled to the United States in the years after the Vietnam War. While the number of offices ebbs and flows with refugee admissions, they continue to form the foundation for CWS work in resettling refugees in the US.
It was also in the 1970s that CWS first began responding to U.S. disasters at the request of its member churches.
CWS work in international emergency response and development through the 1970s and 1980s focused on working in partnership with other NGO’s and with local groups. In some instances this led to the creation of new, independent organizations such as the Middle East Council of Churches, the Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh or CEPAD in Nicaragua. Working in partnership remains one of the hallmarks of CWS work. These groups remain valued partners to CWS.
More recently, CWS was one of the founding members of a global partnership of faith-based humanitarian agencies, ACT Alliance, with members in 140 countries. With 130 member organizations, ACT Alliance provides a dynamic environment for collaboration in responding to human needs around the world. By working together agencies can maximize their impact.

CBM is an international Christian development organisation, committed to improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities in the poorest communities of the world.
The world is making progress in tackling poverty. However, persons with disabilities are left behind. One in seven of us has a disability. That is more than one billion people around the world! 80 per cent of whom live in low middle income countries.
Based on our Christian values and more than 100 years of professional expertise, we address poverty as a cause and a consequence of disability. We work in partnership to create an inclusive society for all.
The emphasis throughout our work is on local capacity development in poorer regions of the world. This increases service delivery in the fields of healthcare, education, rehabilitation and livelihood development as well as organisational development of partner organisations.
CBM Vision Statement
An inclusive world in which all persons with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential.
CBM Mission Statement
CBM is an international Christian development organisation, committed to improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities in the poorest countries of the world.
Based on its Christian values and over 100 years of professional expertise, CBM addresses poverty as a cause, and a consequence, of disability, and works in partnership to create a society for all.
Our Core Values
CBM’s work is founded on the core values inherited from our founder, Pastor Ernst Jakob Christoffel.
Our core values underpin the way in which we behave and go about our purpose. They are clearly expressed through our thinking, behaviour and decision making – together, they establish our working culture.
Building an inclusive society
CBM works in the most disadvantaged societies, irrespective of race, gender or religion. CBM seeks to:
CBM Federation Strategy 2023
Our vision is an inclusive world in which all persons with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential. To realise this, we have developed our Federation-wide Strategy 2023.
What drives our strategy
While the world is making progress in tackling poverty, persons with disabilities are being left behind. CBM’s strategy is driven by stark facts:
Disability rights and inclusion are increasingly being recognised as a priority and included in global frameworks and agreements. CBM is committed to supporting persons with disabilities to break the vicious cycle of poverty, disability and exclusion, and to realise their rights as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
While the CBM name is no longer an acronym, it is a reminder of our beginnings. Formerly known as Christoffel-Blindenmission (“Christian Blind Mission”), today the CBM name pays tribute to our German founder Ernst J. Christoffel.
Timeline of CBM’s history
Pastor Ernst J. Christoffel, born in 1876 in Rheydt/Rhineland, Germany, was CBM’s founder and director for many years. Ernst Christoffel laid the foundations for CBM as a modern organisation working together with Partners to serve persons with disabilities.
The Beginning: Turkey
In 1908, Christoffel set out for Turkey and founded a home in Malatia for blind and otherwise disabled and orphaned children, with the support of only a handful of friends. The mission societies to which he had applied before saw no commission for helping the blind in the Orient.
World War I
Christoffel’s work came to an end when the First World War broke out. In 1919, he was expelled and Turkey remained closed to him, as to all Germans.
From Turkey to Iran
As soon as the ban was lifted, Christoffel set out for Turkey again, but the house in Malatia was lost. Attempts to start again in Constantinople (later Istanbul) resulted in renewed prohibition, so Christoffel went to Iran. In 1925 and 1928, two homes were set up in Tabriz and Isfahan, respectively, for blind and otherwise disabled young people.
Persecution during World War II
The Second World War destroyed everything, and the threat of deportation was imminent. Christoffel did not want to leave his charges on their own. In 1943, he was arrested and spent three years behind barbed wire, but his will remained unbroken.
Return to Iran
As soon as he had access in 1951, Christoffel returned to Isfahan. Despite the fact that he was ailing and 70 years of age, he went on helping the disabled, poor, and abandoned in the name of Jesus Christ. Pastor Christoffel died on 23 April 1955. His tombstone in Isfahan names him the “Father of the Blind, Deaf-Mute, Physically Disabled and Orphans”.
The commitment of Pastor Ernst Jakob Christoffel to the education and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities laid the foundation for an organisation that is today one of the leading international development organisations for persons with disabilities worldwide.
Over time, CBM’s policy has widened from serving blind people to giving all persons with disabilities access to basic healthcare services. There are 600 million persons with disabilities in the world. Most of them live in developing countries. About 2.5% of these people- a target population of 10 million—are covered by CBM’s programmes.

How many refugees are there around the world?
At least 82.4 million people around the world have been forced to flee their homes. Among them are nearly 26.4 million refugees, around half of whom are under the age of 18.
There are also millions of stateless people, who have been denied a nationality and lack access to basic rights such as education, health care, employment and freedom of movement.
At a time when 1 in every 95 people on earth has fled their home as a result of conflict or persecution, our work at UNHCR is more important than ever before.
UNHCR personnel
Our workforce is the backbone of UNHCR. As of 31 December 2020, we employ 17,878 people, of whom around nearly 91 per cent are based in the field.
We work in 132 countries and territories, with personnel based in a mixture of regional and branch offices and sub and field offices. Our teams work hard to help the displaced, specializing in a wide range of disciplines, including legal protection, administration, community services, public affairs and health.
How is UNHCR funded
We are funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions, with 85 per cent from governments and the European Union. Three per cent comes from other inter-governmental organizations and pooled funding mechanisms, while a further 11 per cent is from the private sector, including foundations, corporations and the public. Additionally, we receive a limited subsidy (one per cent) from the UN budget for administrative costs, and accept in-kind contributions, including items such as tents, medicines and trucks.
UNHCR was launched on a shoestring annual budget of US$300,000 in 1950. But as our work and size have grown, so too have the costs. Our annual budget rose to more than US$1 billion in the early 1990s and reached a new annual high of US$9.15 billion in 2021. For up to date information about UNHCR’s financial needs visit our Global Focus website.
Our yearly budget supports continuing operations and supplementary programmes to cover emergencies, such as the Syria crisis or large-scale repatriation operations.
Data on forced displacement and stateless populations
We track the number of people forced to flee and use data and statistics to inform and optimize our work and the work of our partners to better protect, assist and provide solutions. So when for example a major displacement crisis erupts, we can predict how many people need help, what kind of help they need and how many staff we must deploy.
These figures are released every year in our flagship reports: Global Trends and Global Report.
For statistics and operational data that are essential for UNHCR operations, we collect and process data in a number of different systems that are fit for purpose. Our Population Statistics Database, for example, carries information on country of asylum, country of origin and demographics on people of concern to UNHCR – refugees, asylum seekers, returned refugees, internally displaced and stateless people.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, other forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
We work in over 130 countries, protecting millions of people and delivering life-saving assistance. We help safeguard fundamental human rights and develop solutions that ensure that people have a safe place to call home where they can build a better future.

UNDP is based on the merging of the United Nations Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance, created in 1949, and the United Nations Special Fund, established in 1958. UNDP, as we know it now, was established in 1965 by the General Assembly of the United Nations.
The UN Charter
The Charter of the United Nations was signed in San Francisco on 26 June 1945, at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, and came into force on 24 October 1945. Its purposes and principles are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations based on equal rights and self-determination, and to achieve international co-operation in solving economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian challenges without distinction for race, sex, language, or religion.
Mission and vision
UNDP’s mandate is to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions. We advocate for change, and connect countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life.
Our mission, our goals, our mandate
As the United Nations lead agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and to build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is concentrated in three focus areas; sustainable development, democratic governance and peace building, and climate and disaster resilience.
