American Cancer Society Hosts Stakeholders Meeting in Tanzania

On May 7 the American Cancer Society hosted a cancer stakeholder workshop in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of Tanzania. This workshop provided a forum to transition the Society’s history and partnerships in Tanzania to future cancer control activities led by local stakeholders. It brought together 34 participants from health facilities, international organizations and nongovernmental organizations. The objectives of the workshop included sharing the national noncommunicable disease (NCD) strategy, sharing information and findings from various assessments and evaluations conducted in Tanzania by stakeholders, identifying strategies to improve coordination among the cancer sector stakeholders, and contributing to the finalization of the national cancer control plan. Speakers during the workshop included Dr. Joseph Mbatia, director, Noncommunicable Diseases; Loyce Pace, director, Regional Programs, American Cancer Society; Dr. Ali Mzige, Tanzania Public Health Association (TPHA); and Dr Elias J Muganyizi, Tanzania Palliative Care Association (TPCA), among others. As part of plans to move forward, five critical areas were identified and discussed in stakeholder workgroups: resource mobilization, education/awareness, networking/coordination, policy/legislation, and capacity building. Necessary action plans were aligned to each area to further support cancer control in Tanzania.
