The Uganda NCD Alliance received a grant by Global NCD Alliance Solidarity Fund second phase; NCD Alliance Civil society Solidarity Fund on NCDs and COVID-19. This fund focuses on developing comprehensive and cohesive NCD advocacy and communications strategies towards resilience and recovery under a project entitled: Strengthening communication and media strategies/frameworks and building advocacy blocks on NCDs and COVID 19 coverage as a way of building broader health systems reform and UHC advocacy coalitions. The project is aimed at “a sustainable and meaningful participation of PLWNCDs in NCDs and COVID-19 prevention and control programs so as to influence policy and decision making in Uganda by December 2021 and thereafter. In this second phase we were awarded US$15,000 for 6month (Jul-Dec 2021).

 

Specific Objectives

1. Establish functional PLWNCDs groups to engage in NCDs and COVID-19 programs at all levels of response
2. Engage PLWNCDs and their caregivers at community level to participate in NCD programs and activities.
3. Provide platforms where views and voices of PLWNCDs inform policy and decisions on NCD programs amid COVID-19.

 

The goal and intended objectives will be achieved through the following activities:

1. Community mobilization and sensitization on NCDs and CVID-19 for PLWNCDs and their leaders at community l, District and National level

III.    Support Health facility based Meetings with PLWNCDs groups to ensure, PLWNCDs take active role in planning for their services as well as integration of NCDs services into routine health care delivery
