📢 The Power in Integrated Community Outreaches! 💪
Integrated health outreaches are among the key synergetic activities TeamUp Uganda consortium partners, Action 4 Health Uganda, Hanns R. Neumann Stuftung and Whave Solutions, implement in the agricultural, water and health sectors alongside dedicated district health teams, healthcare providers, youth clubs, peer educators, and passionate community members. With Action 4 Health Uganda taking lead in the health sector, we're improving access to essential healthcare services, reducing health disparities, and enhancing health outcomes for underserved populations. This collaborative spirit is the backbone of our success.
Over the past three months, we served 2,382 (1,137 males & 1,245 females) individuals of different age groups in remote areas of Kassanda and Mityana districts.
During the outreaches, healthcare workers deliver crucial health talks and services related to:
💉 Immunization
🚺 Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM)
❤️ Testing for sexually transmitted infections
🤰 Family planning
🧪 STI screening and treatment
🐛 Deworming for children
🗣️ General Health and Hygiene Education
🤰 Antenatal care
🎗️ HIV counselling and testing
These outreaches have significantly improved access to a range of health services, particularly by reaching individuals who may not typically visit health facilities. Referrals are a vital component of our strategy. While our outreaches provide essential initial support, we connect individuals with complex needs to higher-level health facilities for specialised services.
Our integrated approach doesn't stop at health. The TeamUp Uganda consortium partners Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung - HRNS and Whave Solutions are integral to these outreaches. Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung - HRNS field teams demonstrate good agricultural practices while Whave Solutions staff educate communities on water resource management and promote modern handwashing stations.
By integrating our efforts across #Health, #Agriculture and #Water sectors, and by fostering strong community involvement alongside established government institutions, we're building sustainable and long-term solutions to community challenges.

Collaboration makes us stronger! 🫂
We are happy to partner with local and international players in sustainable development to host the Pre-event for #Children and #Youth leading to the Eleventh Session of the African Regional Forum on Sustainable Development #ARFSD11. Children and youth will use their creative arts to amplify their voices on their critical needs and demands.
A key outcome of the event will be a set of recommendations for policies and programs that address underlying barriers to young people’s employment, enhance the quality of essential services, foster entrepreneurship, and empower young people through skills development and vocational training.
