In 2024, Koala Africa, in partnership with the Government of Tanzania (GoT), the Revolution ary Government of Zanzibar (RGZ), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and SEMA, launched a comprehensive Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) campaign aimed at improving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among adolescents and youth across Tanzania and Zanzibar. The campaign seeks to raise awareness about key SRH issues, such as contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and healthy sexual behaviors, while also addressing common misconceptions that o en prevent young people from making informed choices.

The initiative emphasizes the importance of condom use as a key method for preventing both STIs and unintended pregnancies, aiming to promote safer sexual practices among adolescents and youth. The campaign delivers clear, targeted messages that resonate with the unique needs and cultural contexts of young people. By empowering them with accurate information, the campaign encourages young individuals to take control and make responsible decisions on their sexual and reproductive health.

Koala Africa is seeking collaborators for a palliative care project in Dar which is focused on addressing the critical gap in palliative care for cervical cancer patients in Tanzania, particularly among women living with HIV (WLHIV). Cervical cancer is o en detected late with more than 80% of clients in late stage where a cure is not achievable and require palliative care. There is a large unmet need for palliative care services. The project aims to improve the quality of life for these patients through comprehensive palliative care services, which include pain relief, emotional support, and end-of-life care. This initiative aligns with Tanzania's e orts to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health threat and aims to strengthen healthcare systems while ensuring equitable access to care for all affected individuals.

In recognition of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month this January 2025, KOALA AFRICA is launching a comprehensive campaign aimed at raising awareness about cervical cancer and improving access to HPV vaccination for girls aged 9-14, cervical cancer screening for women aged 30-50, and treatment for precancerous lesions. This initiative focuses on educating the public about cervical cancer, addressing common misconceptions, and emphasizing the importance of HPV vaccination for young girls, early detection through screening for women, and available treatment options for precancerous conditions.
