This Activity is implemented by Pathfinder International as prime and its partners: Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau (UPMB), Samasha Medical Foundation (SMF), and the Uganda Youth and Adolescent Health Forum (UYAHF). The main implementing partners are government ministries and agencies, particularly the Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Gender Labor and Social Development (MoGLSD), National Population Council (NPC), National Planning Authority (NPA), as well as 11 supported districts, local private organizations, individual private health providers, and other United States Government (USG) implementing partners (IPs). The goal of USAID/Uganda FPA is to support the Government of Uganda to increase adoption of positive reproductive health (RH) behaviors among Ugandan women, men, and young people and contribute to long-term shifts in Uganda’s modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR) and fertility rate by 2025 in 11 focus districts of Buliisa, Kiryandongo, Kibaale, Kyankwanzi, Kyegegwa, Kyenjojo, Ntoroko, Bundibugyo, Butambala, Gomba, and Rakai. USAID/Uganda FPA seeks to create a favorable policy and financing environment to increase access to family planning by strengthening leadership and coordination for a strong health system with accountable leadership, sustainable financing and innovations for demand generation, service delivery, capable health workforce, functional supply chains, and information system management. The Activity’s long-term objective is to ensure that Uganda attains and sustains increased contraceptive use for healthy timing and spacing of pregnancy (HTSP) and creates scalable nationwide interventions by the year 2025. USAID/Uganda FPA contributes to achieving the following three major results: 1. Ugandan leadership and coordination strengthened to support voluntary family planning (FP); 2. Positive social norms and behaviors enhanced to improve HTSP; and 3. Access to quality, voluntary FP increased. This report describes activities implemented by USAID/Uganda FPA from 1 January to 31 March 2021 and constitutes FPA’s FY21 Q2 report. 6 1.2 Summary of Key Results to Date Table 1: Performance progress for selected indicators FY 21 Quarterly Status – FY 21 Performance Indicator Target Cumulati Q1 Q2 Q3

This detachment is due to geographical barriers and to a Remote diagnosis shortage of technical, financial,and human resources that enable peripheral health facilities to perform effective Geographic information systems and prompt diagnosis. End-users typically have easier access to cell-phones than hospitals, so mHealth can help Home-patient to overcome such barriers, transforming inpatients/outpatients into home-patients, decongesting hospitals, Results-based financing Healthcare cost-effectiveness especially during epidemics. This generates savings for patients and the healthcare system. The advantages of mHealth are well known, but there is a literature gap in the description of its economic returns. This study applies a geographical model to a typical LMIC, Uganda, quantifying the time-cost to reach an equipped medical center. Time-cost measures the disconnection between First-Mile hubs and end-users, the potential demand of mHealth by remote end-users, and the consequent savings.

  • The Republic of Uganda Kibaale District Local Government Statistical Abstract for Fy 2020/2021
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA KIBAALE DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT STATISTICAL ABSTRACT FOR FY 2020/2021 Kibaale District Local Government P.O Box 2, KARUGUUZA E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.kibaale.go.ug i FOREWORD The importance of statistics in informing planning and monitoring of government programmes cannot be over emphasized. We need to know where we are, determine where we want to reach and also know whether we have reached there. The monitoring of socio-economic progress is not possible without measuring how we progress and establishing whether human, financial and other resources are being used efficiently. However, these statistics have in many occasions been national in outlook and less district specific. The development of a district-based Statistical Abstract shall go a long way to solve this gap and provide district tailored statistics and will reflect the peculiar nature of the district by looking at specific statistics which would not be possible to provide at a higher level. Data and statistics are required for designing, planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating development programmes. For instance, statistics on school enrolment, completion rates and dropout rates e.t.c are vital in the monitoring of Universal Primary Education and Universal Secondary Education programmes. Statistics are also needed for establishing grant aid to community schools, staff levels and other investments in the education programmes. The collection and use of statistics and performance indicators is critical for both the successful management and operation of the sectors, including Lower Local Governments. For data to inform planning and service delivery it should be effectively disseminated to the various users and stakeholders.

This document and any map included herein are without prejudice to the status of or sovereignty over any territory, to the delimitation of international frontiers and boundaries and to the name of any territory, city or area. © OECD 2015 UGANDA SIGI COUNTRY REPORT © OECD 2015 FOREWORD – 3 Foreword Uganda’s economic and political stability over the past two decades has brought unprecedented opportunities to address social inequalities and improve the well-being of citizens. Investments in key human development areas have reaped benefits in poverty reduction, and seen some improvements on a range of socio-economic indicators: but is everyone benefiting? Ugandan women and girls have partially benefited from these trends. New laws and measures to protect and promote women’s economic, political and human rights have been accompanied by impressive reductions in gender gaps in primary and secondary education and greater female political participation. Yet, wide gender gaps and inequalities remain, including in control of assets, employment and health. Economic development may have improved the status quo of women in Uganda, but full equality with men remains a distant reality. Tackling the discriminatory social norms that drive such gender inequalities and ensuring that women can equally benefit from Uganda’s development were twin objectives of this first in-depth country study of the OECD Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI).
