Abstract
The development objectives of the Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health Improvement Project for Uganda are to: (a) improve utilization of essential health services with a focus on reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health services in target districts; and (b) scale up birth and death registration services. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) provision of health care services to take into account identified cultural practices and related impact on service demand and uptake; (2) provide additional mid- wives to help in provision of delivery services; (3) introduce mobile health services and camps to bridge service access gaps for indigenous (IK) caused by poor terrain and insecurity; (4) improvement of access to clean water such as use of water treatment and encouraging the communities to boil drinking water, regular hand washing among others; (5) ensure each laborer has a job contract with a clear code of conduct; and (6) develop indicators and mechanism for social accountability to monitor the provision of services identified in the indigenous peoples plan (IPP).
