Elct SCD Makete

Elct SCD Makete, also known as the Evangelical Lutheran Church Of Tanzania, South Central Diocese, is a registered non-profit organization and hospital entity in Tanzania. It has been registered in SAM.gov to receive federal awards since January 2023.

Through past federal grant sub-awards, Elct SCD Makete has provided services aimed at attaining and sustaining HIV epidemic control among at-risk and hard-to-reach pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, children, and youth in Tanzania's Southern Zone. The organization has worked to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS and prevent transmission among these populations. Its efforts have focused on addressing challenges such as late diagnosis of HIV-positive children, limited access to healthcare and services for orphans and vulnerable children, and high HIV treatment gaps among adolescents and youth, particularly in regions like Iringa, Ruvuma, and Mtwara. Elct SCD Makete has also supported the transition of prime funding and implementation to capable local partners, aligning with the PEPFAR goal of 70% of funding going to local partners. The organization has received sub-awards from prime grantees such as Deloitte Consulting and Pact, Inc., working under programs funded by agencies like USAID and the U.S. Department of State.
