MJAP Strengthens Collaborative Research on HIV Prevention and Care for Adolescents and Young People
We continue to advance evidence-based HIV prevention and care through collaborative implementation research focused on adolescents and young people in Uganda.
Today we joined research collaborators for a half-day scientific review meeting to assess progress, share insights and reflect on implementation of a study addressing HIV prevention and care among adolescents and young people.
The engagement brought together partners including MU-JHU Care Ltd, Baylor Uganda, the Infectious Diseases Research Collaboration (IDRC-Uganda), and the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI), among others.

At the #HealthPromotionUg26, under the theme “Strategic Positioning of Community Structures as the Foundation of Primary Health Care and Security,” we reflect on the vital role community structures play in strengthening Uganda’s health system.
Over the years, Makerere Joint AIDS Program (MJAP) has supported community health structures to bring essential health services closer to the people. Through community engagement, capacity building, health education, outreach services and collaboration with local leaders and community health workers, MJAP continues to contribute to improved access to healthcare across the East Central region.

Day 2 of the National Measles-Rubella (MR2) Vaccination Campaign is underway at Allied Model Primary School, Bukula Village, one of the settlements located within the forest reserves of Mayuge District.
AFGHS-MJAP is fully supporting the District Health Team (DHT) through real-time monitoring, field supervision, and timely restocking of vaccines to ensure that eligible children are reached and vaccinated during the campaign.
Together, we are taking immunisation services closer to communities, including those in hard-to-reach settlements.
