Abstracts

Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation Uganda (Baylor Foundation Uganda) in partnership with TPO is implementing a PEPFAR-funded five-year project through the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) named “Accelerating and sustaining Epidemic Control in Bunyoro region in the Republic of Uganda under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)” alias “ACE-Bunyoro”. The project goal is to contribute to MOH efforts to reduce the incidence of HIV infection and HIV/AIDS-related morbidity and mortality among children and adults in Uganda in line with the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets for epidemic control. The project supports 138 health facilities in the eight (8) districts (Buliisa, Hoima, Kagadi, Kibaale, Kikuube, Kiryandongo, and Masindi districts) and one (1) city of Bunyoro region using a Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) approach through district-led programming emphasizing increased utilization, ownership, and sustainability of quality comprehensive adult, pediatric, and adolescent HIV/AIDS, and TB services. The project directly contributes to the National HIV/AIDS Strategy towards Zero new infections, Zero HIV/AIDS-related mortality and morbidity, and Zero discrimination by 2030.

The project’s purpose is to achieve and sustain HIV epidemic control and related diseases in Bunyoro region supported districts by reinforcing health systems to reach the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets through two main objectives:

Primary objective: Accelerate HIV/AIDS epidemic control to attain and sustain the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals in the Bunyoro region via sustainable interventions addressing unmet needs across the prevention continuum/clinical cascade by 2025.

Secondary objective: Strengthen regional, district, and community system capacities to achieve and sustain HIV epidemic control in the Bunyoro region through innovative training and technical assistance (TA) by 2025.
