Tanzania

What we’re funding in Tanzania

Proof-of-concept funding:

Proof-of-concept (POC) funding up to $250,000 CAD will be awarded to early-stage projects that can implement, test and refine solutions to country-specific personal, social, and/or environmental factors impacting young people’s mental health and wellbeing in one of the 12 countries.

In Tanzania, we’re funding POC ideas to reduce stigma related to mental health. These innovative solutions will focus on addressing the lack of appropriate mental health education in schools and communities, with the goal of reducing harmful cultural norms and discrimination among young people aged 10-24, their teachers and their families. 

Transition-to-scale funding:

Transition-to-scale (TTS) funding between $300,000 CAD and $1,500,000 CAD will be awarded to support tested mental health promotion and prevention approaches that align with country-specific priorities along their scaling journey to help catalyze their sustainability and impact.

Ecosystem catalyst funding:

Ecosystem catalyst (EC) funding between $200,000 CAD and $300,000 CAD will be awarded to organizations that can address priority barriers to scale, such as legislation, evidence, coordination, and mobilize demand to help mental health initiatives succeed and grow in one of 12 priority countries.

In Tanzania, we’re funding EC proposals to improve national-level coordination and advocacy efforts among key stakeholders around the development, sustainable financing, and implementation of the strategic mental health plan.
