Enabel in Uganda will be implementing a new Country strategy 2023-2027. The overall objective is that “Young people and women in Uganda develop into active, economically independent citizens in a sustainable society that respects human rights and ensures quality basic services’’.

The WeCare project will provide multidisciplinary support to communities and schools to make informed decisions about their health, to work towards healthy lifestyles and to advocate around health issues and defending health rights. Secondly, the quality of health care and the chain of emergency referral will be strengthened from community up to regional level. This will be realized through direct support to the referral services of different health institutions (selected Health Center III and Health Center IV) to the regional hospital. It will address challenges of quality of care due to lack of essential medicines, supplies, equipment, and infrastructure. Thirdly, the capacities of the district health office, health managers and local authorities will be reinforced through stewardship, participative leadership, coaching and supervision. Lastly, community engagement in the local health system will be reinforced by boosting the organisation and initiatives of existing community platforms and interfaces.
