A. BACKGROUND
U.S. Mission Uganda’s health assistance to Uganda exceeds $400 million annually. It is coordinate by the Mission’s Interagency Health Team (IAHT), which is chaired by the Deputy Chief of Mission and made up of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of State (DOS), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Peace Corps (PC).
Agencies:
USAID works with the Government of Uganda (GOU) at both national and local levels to strengthen health systems by improving health policy, logistics (including commodity procurement), human resources, and monitoring and evaluation systems. USAID/Uganda also works through district government structures to improve the availability, quality of and access to HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, family planning, tuberculosis, malaria, and educational services.
CDC works with the GOU and its partners to build capacity of Ugandans to manage and deliver HIV prevention, care, and treatment services through the development of national policies and strategies; providing technical assistance in planning, operating, analyzing, and evaluating HIV programs; developing model interventions that can be replicated; supporting infrastructure developments; and providing equipment and commodities. In addition, CDC has strengthened the health sector response to HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, and dangerous pathogens; supported the development of Uganda’s National, Regional, and Facilities Laboratory Systems; provided critical training to the nations’ health care workers; and supported the development of the Uganda Blood Transfusion Service. CDC-Uganda currently supports programs in HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, polio, measles, influenza, plague, Ebola, Marburg virus, and yellow fever.
NIH works at the Rakai Health Sciences Program (RHSP). Its three main focus areas are the NIH International Center for Excellence in Research, an Intramural clinical research site (which is a good example of US-Uganda collaboration); the NIH Clinical Trial Site for Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention Trial; and the RHSP/PEPFAR Community HIV/AIDS Treatment and Care Program, providing HIV basic care and antiretroviral therapy in a novel mobile clinic approach through 16 satellite clinics.
The State Department carries out the Community Grants Program to Combat HIV/AIDS, funded by PEPFAR, to assist communities and local Ugandan grass root organizations with small-scale development projects to provide care and support to people living with HIV/AIDS and orphans and vulnerable children.
DOD undertakes two health-related activities in Uganda. The Defense Attaché’s Office and the DOD’s HIV/AIDS Prevention Program support the Uganda Peoples Defense Forces (UPDF) comprehensive prevention, care, and treatment for military members, their families, and neighboring communities. The DOD’s Walter Reed Army Medical Center focuses on development of the infrastructure to carry out drug trials. A key component of these activities is the provision of HIV care and treatment in Kayunga district with PEPFAR funding.
Approximately 200 Peace Corps volunteers are currently serving in Uganda including 52 Community Health Volunteers. They work with the Ministry of Health, supporting the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) and HIV prevention activities, and promoting positive health behaviors, including improved nutrition and access to voluntary family planning. All of them will be working to strengthen approaches to reduce maternal mortality and implementing the new Global Partnership for the “Saving Mothers, Giving Life” project. Peace Corps volunteers are leveraging their language skills and cultural sensitivity to reach people in rural Uganda.
Initiatives
The Global Health Initiative (GHI) is a presidential initiative that aims to improve health sector foreign assistance by making it more coordinated within the U.S. Government (USG) and with the GOU. The IAHT has developed a GHI Country strategy that maps existing USG health programs to Uganda’s Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan and other health plans and focuses on improved access to quality health services, improved health systems strengthening and increased demand for and utilization of quality health services. Within that strategy, the Mission will focus on maternal and neonatal mortality.
Through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Mission supports programs to prevent new HIV infections using biomedical, behavioral, and structural approaches; to offer counseling and testing services so that people will know their status; to provide care and treatment for infected individuals, including life-saving antiretroviral treatment; to support orphans and other vulnerable children; and to strengthen both public and private healthcare delivery systems to increase the sustainability of the program.
Uganda is one of 17 focus countries benefiting for the PMI. PMI’s goal is to half the burden of malaria in 70 per cent of the at-risk populations on the continent, thereby removing malaria as a major public health problem and promoting development throughout Africa Region. To reach its goal, PMI works with national malaria control programs and coordinates its activities with national and international partners, including the Roll Back Malaria Partnership; the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; the World Health Organization; the World Bank; numerous nongovernmental organizations, including faith-based and community groups; and the private sector.
The new “Saving Mothers, Giving Life” project is the first major USG initiative to save mothers’ lives globally by reducing maternal mortality by at least 50 per cent in resource-limited countries.
