Introduction The Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) is a global U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) cooperative agreement to introduce and support high-impact health interventions in 25 priority countries with the ultimate goal of preventing child and maternal deaths. MCSP is currently implementing two programs in Uganda: the Routine Immunization program (MCSP RI) which works with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and its Uganda National Expanded Programme on Immunization (UNEPI) to operationalize the Reaching Every Child/Community using Quality Improvement Approach (REC-QI) in eleven districts (2014-2019); and the Child Health program (MCSP CH) which is an eighteen-month technical assistance program (e.g., May 2017-October 2018 for in-country implementation, and November-December 2018 for closeout) to provide tailored support in the area of CH to the USAID’s Regional Health Integration to Enhance Services (RHITES) in South West (SW) and East Central (EC) regions. Though the initial Program Description was issued in August 2016, the program scope transitioned from Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (RMNCH) to exclusively Child Health technical assistance in January 2017 and the concept note was approved on March 14, 2017. Provisional approval for the detailed MCSP CH implementation plan was granted in May 2017, and full approval was provided in August 2017. USAID’s RHITES projects are working with the Government of Uganda to support implementation of the Uganda Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent (RMNCAH) Sharpened Plan, which includes a package of low cost, high impact, evidence-based RMNCAH interventions that can be applied at different levels of the health system to reduce mortality. The RHITES projects work directly with the districts they serve and at the central level to assist with national scale up of the package. The expected result of MCSP’s tailored technical assistance for CH is a standardized CH package across the RHITES projects, that determines the costs involved and gathers learning on the feasibility of implementing the package in an integrated way in four demonstration districts (e.g., Luuka, Kaliro, Ntungamo and Sheema Districts), and lessons learned to inform national level CH policy and program updates. This quarterly report summarizes the progress and achievements of MCSP CH for the period of October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. II.

At that time, there were no minimum standards for the meaningful engagement of PLHIV, KVPs and CSOs and discussions with the U.S. government regarding Uganda’s COP would take place only in meetings at the U.S. Embassy. PLHIV, KVP and CSOs worked to ensure that the engagement processes became truly community- owned and community-led. They established a structured calendar, clear expectations of civil society and of PEPFAR Uganda, and a shared focus with PEPFAR Uganda on improving the accountability of the HIV response for communities and CSOs. This is the third edition of The People’s Voice; the first was facilities which are located in 28 districts (see Table A, page 3) published in 20191 and the second in 2020.2 Successes resulting during the CLM pilot phase (August-September 2020) and Focus from these efforts over the years include: introduction and scale Group Discussions (FGDs) with community representatives.

  • Uganda 2015 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral Parliament in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The three most serious human rights problems in the country included: lack of respect for the integrity of the person (unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (freedoms of assembly, expression, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (sexual and gender-based violence), children (sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, societal or mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, media reported security forces in Apaa Parish in the north shot and killed five persons during a land dispute over the government’s border demarcation.
