Abstract
A number of health projects have helped to establish the conceptual framework for Primary Health Care. Since the main difficulties in establishing Primary Health Care nationally arise with regard to planning, organization, and management, the replicability of such projects nationally is made easy if these difficulties are addressed at the level of the basic administrative unit in the country. In most countries it is the district. District level projects also give a more realistic account of the structures needed for planning, management, the logistics, lines of communication, intersectoral activities, and so on. This paper gives an account of a district level project in Tanzania and the lessons derived from it for the national health system relevant to Primary Health Care.
