The MamaToto Package (later called "Mama na Mtoto" for the Tanzanian context) was an MNCH intervention built upon prior successes in Uganda and adapted to meet the needs in Misungwi District in Tanzania. The intervention included low-cost programming that built upon the existing district health system structure and resources in order to strengthen the MNH capacity and training of the district, health facilities, and community health workers.
