PROJECTS & PROGRAMS

Since 2010, T-MARC Tanzania has been an implementing partner to the Tanzania Social Marketing Program (TSMP).  The TSMP project is a five-year program funded by the United States Agency for International and led by Population Services International (PSI).  Under this project, T-MARC Tanzania continues to market its three social marketing brands:  Dume male condom, Lady Pepeta female condom, and Flexi P combined oral contraceptive, which has been on the market since 2005.

TSMP is designed to create sustainable health solutions through a “Total Market Approach” (TMA) that gives consumers a broader range of products and prices.  The goal of TMA is to achieve a marketplace where all segments are reached with high-quality products and services based on their ability to pay.  Social marketing organizations are essential to growing the overall market by attracting new users and opening up new markets, particularly in rural areas.  Through TSMP, PSI provides technical support to T-MARC Tanzania as well as PSI’s local social marketing affiliate,

PSI/Tanzania.  With the support of TSMP, T-MARC Tanzania’s social marketing brands celebrated many important achievements.
