Our History
The SRHR Alliance Uganda was founded in 2011 as a loose coalition of partners to implement the United for Healthy Tomorrow program that was funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affair in partnerships with Rutgers, AIDS Fonds, Simavi, dance4life, IPPF and Choice. Since then, the Alliance members have jointly implemented two other programs including Access Services and Knowledge (ASK) in Eastern and Northern Uganda as well as the Get Up Speak Out (GUSO), which was implemented in Busoga sub-region.
Over these past 9 years, the Alliance has built a strong niche in engaging duty bearers and SRHR sector actors at national, sub-national and community levels to influence policy and social environment to favor access to SRHR information and services. We have also gained vast experience and created a number of innovative approaches to deliver quality and youth friendly SRHR information and services to adolescents and young people at grassroots levels.
