UNFPA SRHR 2015-2017 - Joint Programme for Population UNFPA UNFPA SRHR 2015-2017 UNFPA har formulerat ett projekt som ska öka tillgängligheten och användandet av rättighetsbaserade, integrerade SRH tjänster. Tjänsterna ska uppfylla kvalitetsstandard på vård och jämlikhet i tillgången för kvinnor, ungdomar, personer som sex-arbetar och hbt-personer. Projektet ska implementeras i 10 i distrikt med stora behov och som också är belägna i Ugandas post-konflikt områden. Ytterligare fyra hiv-centra inkluderas också i projektet. Effektmålen för projektet är 1) att stärka hälsosystemets kapacitet i att kunna leverera rättighetsbaserade reproduktiva-, mödra-, nyfödda- och ungdomshälsotjänster i geografiska områden med hög mödradödlighet och 2) att mobilisera strukturer, såsom grupper på landsbygden, religiösa och kulturella ledare för att öka användandet av SRH och hiv tjänster fria från stigmatisering. 

De personer som direkt gagnas av projektet är befolkningen i de post-konflikt drabbade områdena Acholi och Karamoja,  speciellt unga flickor och marginaliserade grupper. Den totala populationen som kommer gagnas av projektet beräknas uppgå till 1 770 224 personer

UNFPA kommer vara ambassadens kontraktspartner och den enhet som är ansvarig för utvecklingen, implementeringen, uppföljningen och rapporteringen av projektet. UNFPA kommer vara ansvariga för projektresultaten och finansieringen. Medel kommer att vidarebefordras till tredje part. UNFPA has designed an intervention to increase availability and use of rights-based, integrated SRH services that meet standards of quality of care and equity in access for women, young people, sex workers and LGBT persons in 10 high-need districts in post-conflict areas of Uganda (plus 4 HIV hubs). The strategic objectives of the intervention are 1) To strengthen the capacity of the health system to deliver rights-based Reproductive, Maternal, New-born and Adolescent Health services to high maternal mortality burdened regions of the country; and 2) To mobilize institutional structures including community, religious and cultural leadership for increased utilization of stigma-free SRH/HIV services. 

The direct beneficiaries in this project are the rights holders in the post-conflict areas of Acholi and Karamoja, including women and young people, especially adolescent girls, and most at risk populations focusing on districts with poor sexual reproductive health indicators (total population 1,770,224).

UNFPA will be Sweden's contracting partner and responsible for development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of the project. UNFPA will also be accountable for project results and finance.  Project funds for implementation will be forwarded to partners (almost all of the project oriented funds).  Procurement will mainly be handled through the UNFPA system. Goal:
The overall goal of the programme was to contribute to the improvement of Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) of women, adolescents and young people including disadvantaged populations.

Objectives:
1) To strengthen the capacity of the health system to deliver rights based Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Adolescent Health services in high
maternal mortality burdened regions of Uganda 
2) To mobilize social and institutional structures including community, religious and cultural leadership for increased utilization of stigma free SRH/HIV services

Expected outcomes:
Increased availability and use of rights based integrated SRH services that meet standards for quality of care and equity in access in high maternal mortality
districts and population groups.

Expected outputs
1) Availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of midwifery and family planning services increased in the 10 targeted districts.
2) The three point access model (health facilities, schools and communities) to provide adolescent and youth friendly services including Sexuality Education in schools is institutionalized and functional in target districts.
3) The Mulago STI/MARPI service delivery structure for key populations is expanded to cover four regional hubs (Mbarara, Gulu, Mbale, Hoima) and
KCCA.
4) Existence of transformative, stigmafree and rightsbased HIV prevention and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights promotion programmes through cultural and religious leaders and male involvement in the target districts.
