During this second quarter of project year three, the project completed spraying the seven group A districts of the Lango sub region: Alebtong, Amolatar, Dokolo, Kaberamaido, Lira, Otuke and Tororo, and prepared to spray the group B districts of: Budaka, Bugiri, Butaleja, Kibuku, Namutumba, Pallisa and Serere (round one, starting on April 20, 2015). Spraying in the five districts of Alebtong, Amolatar, Dokolo, Kaberamaido and Otuke is being funded by DFID- UK, while the remaining nine are funded by USAID/PMI. In all previous Phase II spray rounds, the October-November, spray round was completed within quarter one of that fiscal year (FY), however in year three, the project deviated from the norm, as the debut of spraying the new group A districts was delayed. Multiple factors which caused the delay are documented in the project’s quarter one, and the end of spray reports, which were submitted to the client. Briefly, the project was required to wait until the Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) was completed in the new districts, and the approval of the Supplementary Environmental Assessment (SEA), secured. The holiday season also required a two week pause in the spraying activities, pushing the spray season into quarter two of FY 2015. The preparations for this particular spray season were also atypical for the project. The uncertainties of timing due to pending approvals, created a compressed time frame, and imposed limited mobilization of government officials, who are the gateway to community mobilization. Spray round one in the seven new districts commenced on December 08, 2015 and was completed on February 19, 2015. Initiating IRS in these Lango region districts, met with significant resistance from different factions, including local sub-county and political leaders, religious leaders, organic farmers, health workers, and community members. This significant and persistent resistance derailed spraying in many areas,

  • Influence of Community Scorecards on Maternal and Newborn Health Service Delivery and Utilization
    Kiracho et al. International Journal for Equity in Health (2020) 19:145 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12939-020-01184-6 RESEARCH Open Access Influence of community scorecards on maternal and newborn health service delivery and utilization Elizabeth Ekirapa Kiracho1* , Noel Namuhani2, Rebecca Racheal Apolot1, Christine Aanyu1, Aloysuis Mutebi1, Moses Tetui1,3, Suzanne N. Kiwanuka1, Faith Adong Ayen4, Dennis Mwesige4, Ahmed Bumbha4, Ligia Paina5 and David H. Peters5 Abstract Introduction: The community score card (CSC) is a participatory monitoring and evaluation tool that has been employed to strengthen the mutual accountability of health system and community actors. In this paper we describe the influence of the CSC on selected maternal and newborn service delivery and utilization indicators. Methods: This was a mixed methods study that used both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. It was implemented in five sub-counties and one town council in Kibuku district in Uganda. Data was collected through 17 key informant interviews and 10 focus group discussions as well as CSC scoring and stakeholder meeting reports. The repeated measures ANOVA test was used to test for statistical significance. Qualitative data was analyzed manually using content analysis. The analysis about the change pathways was guided by the Wild and Harris dimensions of change framework. Results: There was an overall improvement in the common indicators across sub-counties in the project area between the 1st and 5th round scores. Almost all the red scores had changed to green or yellow by round five except for availability of drugs and mothers attending Antenatal care (ANC) in the first trimester.

    HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE PREPAREDNESS IN UGANDA 6th February 2019 (12:00 HRS) – UPDATE No 84 a) SITUATION UPDATE FROM DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO FOR 5TH FEBRUARY 2019 WITH DATA UP TO 4TH JANUARY 2019 Cumulative cases: 789 Confirmed cases: 735 Probable: 54 Total deaths: 488 b) EVD SITUATIONAL UPDATE IN UGANDA There is NO confirmed EVD case in Uganda. Active case search continues in all communities, health facilities and on formal and informal border crossing in all districts especially in the high-risk ones. Alert cases continue to be picked, isolated, treated and blood samples picked for testing by the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI). The alerts are highlighted in the specific district reports below under the Surveillance section. c) PREPAREDNESS IN THE FIELD (PROGRESS AND GAPS) COORDINATION Ntoroko District The DFID team visited the district and interacted with the district political leaders at Kibuku district headquarters. Thereafter, the team visited Rwebisengo ETU, Kayanja II, Ntoroko main, and Transami PoEs and had a community engagement at Kanara TC. The also visited Ntoroko HCIII, Stellamaris HCII and the UNHCR holding centre. Prominent issues discussed included remuneration of PoE volunteers, availability of second ambulance for quick transportation of alert cases and the high level of community awareness on EVD that was noted to be quite high. Local leaders appealed to leaders to pay outstanding and future allowances for trained people promptly to sustain their morale and contribution to EVD preparations. 1 Kasese District The DTF requested the Resident District Commissioner to assist with enforcement of hand washing measures at Mpondwe post in light of proximity of EVD contacts near the Uganda border.
