MOD Public Health Foundation also known

implementation, advocacy, policy formulation, review meetings in several parts
of Uganda. There lessons we leant for instance is the need for an organisation
promoting the principles of public health. Thus, the MOD Public Health
Foundation also forms the Fiscal Agency the Public Health Steering Team Uganda
(PHSTU). Through the PHSTU, we advance Adaptive Public Health Framework
Solutions; integrating Climate Change Countermeasures; UHC; Pandemic

We are experts in the field of Maternal

2.0 Expertise and Operational Capacity of
MOD Public Health Foundation
MOD
Public Health Foundation is made up of
members with accumulated experiences and variety of transformative skilling in Public
Health, Medicine, Clinical care, Epidemiology, Research, Social development,
social work, Education, parenting, Social-mobilisation, Knowledge Hub
management, Incubator management, Accelerator support work, Hack practitioners,
Innovator-Hub management, Development Catalysts and connections with the
Central Government to link communities to Government programmes. The Organisation has seven years of
experience in delivering integrated services to prevent diseases, prolong life
and promote health. MOD Public Health Foundation has translated the mission and spirit of
PEPFAR/CDC implementing Partners (IPs) of the HIV Epidemic Control programmes
by enhancing implementation of DREAMS program
for 50,000 Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) in 7 districts of Greater
Masaka and Mubende region between 2017-2020. This Girls empowerment programmes
were implemented in collaboration with Rakai Health Sciences Program and
Mildmay Uganda.
In Collaboration with MOH/UVRI
the organisation has engaged into opportunities to assess and report Early
Warning Indicators for HIV Drug Resistance; enshrined Sexual and Reproductive
Health Rights (SRHR) and catalyzed the roll out of Voluntary Medical Male
Circumcision (VMMC) interventions in the Greater Masaka and Mubende Region. For
instance, between 2017-2023, in collaboration with local CBOs, VHTs, RHSP, Mildmay Uganda and PEPFAR Small Grants, the Organisation
provided quality VMMC surgeries to 5691 eligible men 15 years and above in the
Masaka region (2950) and Mubende Region (2741).
The
Organization has experience in community organizing, providing soft skills
training in health and business, and Village Health Teams (VHTs) from
hard-to-reach rural areas. We have pioneered and rolled out such principles
like Communities of Practice (COP); Community Systems Strengthening (CSS);
Communities of Practice (COP); and Public-Private Mix (PPM) to empower
communities to establish themselves as resilient safe spaces. MOD’s work has
supported mainstreaming of HIV/TB/Malaria eradication mechanisms for UNAIDS
2030 goals; integrating COVID-19 response, recovery, and resilience plans;
Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR), and Voluntary Male Medical
Circumcision (VMMC) projects.
The
Organization uses Systems and Design thinking to develop qualitative and
quantitative stories rooted in resilience out of the grassroots communities
whose outcomes can be used to inform development work, and HIV/TB/Malaria
prevention and regularly engage in strengthening the capacity of local and
rural-based CBOs in Uganda to own knowledge and skills to keep the traction
toward the 2030 SDGs.
Through a combination
of networking and volunteering we continue to advocate and campaign for
social-economic and self-sustenance. We are to link programme participants to
programmes such as: Vocational/Technical Institutes, Emyooga, Parish
Development Model (PDM) water, Sanitation and Hygiene projects (WASH), Climatic
Smart Actions (CSA), Health Promotion education campaigns and establishment of
managed Kitchen gardening. All our projects models have a direct
connection to community structures such local government including Sub County
chiefs, VHTs, Health inspectors, Parish chiefs, Traditional and Local leaders
Population-Based Structures.
