AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Maternal Health & Youth: At an International Postpartum Haemorrhage conference in Nairobi, experts warned that progress in cutting maternal deaths can stall unless countries tackle teenage pregnancy, with Uganda still facing a high teen pregnancy rate. Public Finance Accountability: Uganda says accounting officers will face personal liability for unauthorised spending and poor service, as government tightens rules on recruitment and demands costed designs and feasibility studies before projects enter the Public Investment Plan. Health Continuity: Uganda has institutionalised adolescent healthcare by embedding District Committees on Adolescent Health (DICAH) into the Prime Minister’s performance checks to protect gains as donor funding declines. Water & Sanitation Pressure: NWSC is seeking about Shs650bn to save 50 towns from shortages, while National Cleaning Day enforcement sparks calls for persuasion over force after a fatal shooting during sanitation operations. Crime & Justice: Detectives in a cross-border operation arrested three more suspects linked to the murder of Dr Victoria Mutiso, including a police constable, in Nairobi-Kampala raids. HIV Prevention Push: Marie Stopes Uganda slashed Lifeguard condom prices from Shs2,000 to Shs700 to curb rising new HIV infections, rolling out the “Guard Your Game” campaign. Cancer Care Upgrade: Government approved about Shs244bn to procure four PET scan machines for regional referral hospitals, aiming to reduce costly medical travel. Sports (Regional): Uganda’s women’s volleyball and cricket youth teams face tough qualifiers and tournaments as regional rivals advance.
