The long term outcome of this training is increased quality & strengthened health service delivery by all our health facilities in our implementation areas
With support from the @GenderHeroes Eastern cluster, we are carrying out intergrated community outreaches in the different sub counties under the Heroes program.
Yesterday our team with support from @GenderHeroes Eastern cluster continued with the intergrated community outreaches in Irenzi town council Nambale subcounty,these outreaches are aimed at increasing accessibility to health services and information to the hard to reach areas.
Among the new members that have been brought on board in @afriyan_uganda is @IUSYA_ that doubles as an Eastern regional coordinator. They are doing extensive work reaching young people in Iganga and surrounding areas. #AfriyanAGMUG23
One of the achievements we have realised is induction of 23 new member organisations from the various regions of Uganda with regional coordinators put in place. These will strengthen our operations in these places .#AfriyanAGMUG23
