๐บ๐ณ United in purpose, committed to serving humanity!
@UNDPUganda was delighted to join fellow UN agencies, @UNODCEastAfrica, @UNIDO_Uganda and @UNV_ESARO, in celebrating #UNDay at a special gathering organized by @UNFCU.
Beyond the celebrations, the occasion provided an opportunity to reflect on the values that unite us as the UN family, the power of collective action, and our shared responsibility to improve lives and ensure that no one is left behind.
As we commemorate #UN Day, we reaffirm our commitment to strengthening partnerships, advancing the #SDGs and building a more inclusive, peaceful and sustainable future for all. ๐

Access to healthcare begins with bringing essential services closer to the communities that need them.
Through the HIV Response Program, a community health outreach was held at Kashanyarazi in Mbarara City, creating an opportunity for community members to access health information, testing, and preventive services in one place.
The outreach offered HIV testing, syphilis testing, cervical cancer screening and family planning services, alongside health talks on HIV prevention, family planning and the importance of seeking healthcare early. Community members also received condoms as part of ongoing HIV prevention efforts.
Beyond providing these services, the outreach reinforced the importance of early testing, timely referrals, and access to appropriate care. By meeting people within their communities, we continue to promote informed health choices and encourage more people to take charge of their health.

๐ FUNDING TIP: Show funders how your community shaped the projectโnot just how it will benefit from it.
Include evidence of beneficiary input in the design and decision-making. Community-led proposals can demonstrate stronger local ownership and relevance.

HAPPENING NOW | DAY 2 OF #GirlsAgenda2026
Todayโs discussions are exploring how communities can become drivers of lasting change by investing in girlsโ education, leadership and future opportunities.
From creating safe spaces where girls can speak up and challenging harmful social norms, to community-driven scholarship initiatives that have supported 26 girls to graduate from university, the conversations are showcasing the impact of local ownership and collective action in transforming girlsโ lives.
Participants are also examining how development partners and funders can build sustainable models that go beyond short-term projects. Community philanthropy, local resource mobilisation, matching funds and strategic partnerships are emerging as important approaches to sustaining progress and ensuring resources reach the girls and communities that need them most.
The conversations reaffirm that empowering girls requires more than commitments. It calls for sustained investment, strong community partnerships and meaningful participation of girls in the decisions that affect their lives. When communities lead and girls are given the support and opportunities they deserve, the impact can extend far beyond individual projects.
