Yesterday, 28th October 2026, the National Framework for Education on Health and Life Skills was officially launched at the Office of the President. It is the result of a multi-sectoral process led by the @Educ_SportsUg, working with the @MinofHealthUG, @Mglsd_UG, @irc_uganda and other partners.
The framework is organised around five modules: Growth and Human Development, Relationships, Life Skills and Keeping Safe, Health and Wellbeing, and Responsible Citizenship. Each is tailored to the learner's age and stage, so children and young people receive the right information at the right time.
For young people in and out of school, this means a clearer, more consistent path to the knowledge and skills they need to stay healthy, stay safe and make informed choices.
SRHR Alliance Uganda welcomes this milestone. We look forward to working with government, schools, families, faith and cultural leaders and young people to turn the framework into real change in classrooms and communities.

Our keynote speaker, Mr. Charles Sserwanja, Head of Programme for Public Health and Social Measures at @irc_uganda, challenged religious leaders and parents to reflect on their responsibility in protecting children and guiding young people.
He noted that while law enforcement plays a role in addressing abuse, lasting change also requires families and faith communities to take responsibility. He cautioned that interpreting scripture without understanding young people’s lived realities can create an information gap between religious leaders and the youth.
Mr. Sserwanja also highlighted how pressure on adolescent girls and young women to find wealthy partners can influence harmful decisions. He called for greater involvement of men and adolescent boys and young men as agents of change, starting early in their development, and recommended intergenerational dialogues in Mayuge to strengthen understanding between young people and adults.

Kenya confirms first Ebola case, death
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale said the patient had lived in the DRC for the past 7 years before falling ill about a month ago and receiving treatment at several hospitals in the country.
The patient travelled by road from the DRC to Kampala before boarding flight 8523 to Nairobi, arriving on Saturday.
He was transported directly from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi Hospital by a relative and immediately isolated after presenting with symptoms including fever, chills, intense fatigue and weakness, muscle pain, painful swallowing, sore throat and bleeding under the skin at injection sites.
The patient died on Monday while undergoing treatment. The ministry has so far identified 28 contacts of the deceased, including family members and health workers who attended to him.
Authorities are also tracing 23 passengers and crew members who travelled on the same flight as the deceased, with arrangements for quarantine of those considered at risk underway.
