Caring for Mothers’ Lives (WeCare)

The health intervention will strengthen 3 complementary dimensions: demand, supply and governance of services. On the demand side, the objective is that rights-holders increase their autonomy and demand equitable and timely access to health care (Result 1). On the supply side, the aim is that duty-bearers ensure increasing inclusive access to quality SRHR services (Results 2 and 3). On the governance side, the objective is that rights-holders and duty-bearers adopt participatory governance and shared accountability for managing their local health services (Results 4 and 5). In Uganda, the Population & Reproductive Health sector is set to receive a boost with the implementation of the Caring for Mothers’ Lives (WeCare) project. This initiative, falling under the reproductive health care sector (13xxx), is part of a broader governmental cooperation between Uganda and Enabel, supported by the UNFPA Supplies Partnership. The project aims to ensure that everyone in Uganda has access to quality reproductive health supplies whenever they need them, contributing to more sustainable change for the country's population and women's reproductive health. The Caring for Mothers’ Lives (WeCare) project is scheduled to run from 2022 to 2028, with funding provided by DGD through a grant under the ODA typology.
