Within the NDP III community level health promotion and prevention programs are national priorities for the health sector with the universal health coverage (UHC) goal aligned to Government of Uganda’s (GOU) Vision 2040. Strengthening the delivery of interventions for mothers and children at the community level is integral to PHC which lies on the continuum to achieve UHC.
