Masters thesis, The Open University of Tanzania.
Abstract
The study was conducted aiming at assessing the sustainability of the national CBHS
programme, with specific objectives of, (i) identifying main factors affecting
sustainability of the national CBHS programme and (ii) how the partnership
arrangements with the health sector affect sustainability of CBHS. A cross sectional
research design was adopted with two data collection methods, primary data
collection methods and secondary data collection methods. A sample size of 89
respondents were selected purposively, conveniently, and randomly selected from
TRCS, CHMTs, WHCs and PLHIVs. Content data analysis with the aid of Nvivo
software for qualitative data was done and cross tabulation using SPSS to develop
frequency tables and Chi-square test for quantitative data was also done. The study
results show that; availability of supportive policies and procedures, health systems,
community engagement and empowerment, participatory M&E, and funding
predictability, affect sustainability of the national CBHS programme. The findings
also show that, partnership arrangements in various ways affect sustainability of the
national CBHS programme. It is recommended that, to ensure sustainability of the
national CBHS programme, the community should be and empowered to implement
the programme, programmes systems should be integrated with available health and
administrative systems, participatory M&E should be adopted, and sustainability
strategies should be put in place.
