Tanzania Improved Nutrition for Better Life is a four-year USAID/Tanzania grant opportunity designed to strengthen and better coordinate nutrition interventions in selected regions of Tanzania, with the goal of improving nutrition outcomes for the populations most at risk. The activity focuses primarily on women of reproductive age, with particular attention to pregnant and lactating women, as well as adolescents and children under five. The core idea is to intensify existing support while also integrating efforts across sectors so that nutrition is addressed through a coordinated package of interventions rather than through isolated, single-sector programs.

A central feature of the activity is technical capacity building for Government of Tanzania (GOT) institutions and other implementing partners. This means the award is not only meant to fund direct programming, but also to strengthen the ability of government agencies and partners to plan, manage, coordinate, and implement multi-sectoral nutrition interventions more effectively over time. The work is intended to align with Tanzania's National Multi-sectoral Nutrition Action Plan, indicating that proposals should support national priorities and help operationalize the country’s established nutrition strategy through practical improvements in systems, coordination, and implementation capacity.

The opportunity was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the USAID mission in Dar es Salaam, under Funding Opportunity Number 72062118RFA00002. It falls under the Food and Nutrition funding activity category (CFDA 98.001) and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation compared to a standard grant. The total potential funding level is up to an award ceiling of $19,700,000, with USAID expecting to make one award.

Eligibility is broadly open, described as unrestricted, meaning applications can generally come from a wide range of entity types as long as they meet any additional eligibility conditions stated in the full notice. Key timing details in the source information show the opportunity was created on July 5, 2018, with an original closing date of July 19, 2018, reflecting a relatively short application window. Overall, the grant centers on improving nutrition outcomes through integrated, multi-sectoral support and by strengthening the institutional capacity of Tanzanian government bodies and partners to deliver and sustain nutrition interventions at scale.
