How We Work

Baylor-Uganda as an Implementing Partner (IP) supports the MoH and District Local Governments to decentralize HIV services in order to increase accessibility, availability and utilization of quality health service to the people of Uganda through a health systems strengthening approach. The key program stakeholders in the implementation process are the districts, municipalities, public and Private-Not For-Profit health facilities, persons living with HIV networks and civil society organizations (CSOs) in Baylor-Uganda supported areas.


Where We Work

These operations are carried out at the COE and Post Natal Clinic both located at Mulago Hospital Complex. In addition, we support 145 health facilities in 9 districts in the Fort Portal region, 106 in facilities in 8 districts in the Bunyoro region, to implement comprehensive HIV and Global Health Security programs, funded by CDC/ PEPFAR. We also work in 18 districts supported through grants from Global Fund/TASO, namely; Bulisa, Kagadi, Masindi, Kyankwanzi, Kiboga, Kisoro, Rubirizi, Kalangala, Nakaseke, Luwero, Kayunga, Kasese, Ntoroko, Nakasongola, Buikwe, Hoima, Kibale and Kiryandongo.

Partnerships

Baylor Uganda believes in a shared approach to addressing disparities in health care in Uganda and African as a whole. For sustainable and impactful initiatives on the quality of life among the people we serve, partnerships have been one of the key drivers in all our projects. Our partnerships and collaborations are hinged on core values of; Care, Integrity, innovation and excellence. We have worked with a wide scope of entities including; local and international organisations as well as government institutions. Community based organisations (CBOs) including People living with HIV (PLHIV) have been at the heart of our community led HIV/AIDS initiatives. We believe in implementing local solutions for local challenges and more so implemented with the local people that are more affected by these challenges. Additionally, we have for the last 15 years worked with a number of international organisations/ networks. Most of these have funded a significant proportion of both our program and research initiatives ranging from increasing access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) among PLHIV, improving the quality of life for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) to contributing to new knowledge/ evidence ranging from long acting injectable HIV drugs, more efficacious ART regimens for children and adolescents to HIV and Covid-19 vaccines among others. Below are both our different partners/sponsors we have/still working with.
