TANAMI (Tracking Active Galactic Nuclei with Australian-South-African Milliarcsecond Interferometry) is a new program to image and monitor the parsec-scale structures of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei of the Southern Hemisphere with the LBA. Complementary to ongoing programs in the Northern Hemisphere, TANAMI is tracking the jets of sources south of -30 degrees declination with milliarcsecond resolution at 8.4GHz and 22GHz. TANAMI observations are being conducted every two months beginning in November 2007 providing dense sampling of fast superluminal moving jet features. This sampling rate allows us to observe 40 sources through 2008 and to add up to 80 additional sources at optimized observing cadences in subsequent years. Moreover, it enables us to react quickly to transient events and to begin follow-up observations of sources of special interest, in particular blazars found by GLAST to be flaring at gamma-rays.
