In October 2007, the World Bank Institute, the Tanzanian Commission for AIDS, the Prime Minister's Office for Regional Administration and Local Government, The Global Fund and other partners organized a learning program to help Tanzania improve information flow, transparency and accountability in their response to HIV/AIDS at the community level. The program helped increase the capacity of key players at the district and community levels so they can more effectively administer, distribute and allocate financial resources and supplies for HIV/AIDS, thereby ensuring that the resources reach the intended beneficiaries and are used for the intended purposes. People living with HIV/AIDS, faith based groups, community organizations, districts and local and national government institutions identified their own tools such as participatory planning, community involvement, community score cards, public budget hearings, use of radio, open council sessions, transparency in bids and purchases, protection mechanisms of people of reporting corruption, regular executive meetings, use of minutes and reporting, monitoring and evaluation, among others.
