Background
The Christian Social Services Commission (CSSC) is an ecumenical body established in 1992 by the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) and Tanzania Episcopal Conference to strengthen the delivery of health and education services by member churches in Tanzania. CSSC coordinates a network of more than 900 church-owned health facilities, the majority of which are rural-based, contributing nearly 14% of all health facilities in Tanzania, and 1000 church-based education institutions providing 10% of all education services offered in Tanzania. Through the Global Fund Cycle 7 (GFC7) Grant support, CSSC implements essential TB/HIV community-based programs (October 2025–December 2026) in support of the national effort to sustain and expand community HIV and TB services. The GFC7 community-based program is implemented in collaboration with Lead CSO-Christian Social Services Commission (CSSC) and four Sub-sub Recipients (SSRs)—TAYOA, NACOPHA, MKUTA, and STEPS. The GFC7 program focuses on the provision of community-based TB/HIV services across 185 councils. It prioritizes peer-led service delivery and integration with Local Government Authorities.
