When communities lead, lasting change becomes possible.
@Amref_Uganda is proud to join the Weekly Science Seminar Series on 6 November 2026, where our colleague @iyereget , Project Officer, will feature alongside Sarah Marks, Research Fellow at @LSHTM , to share findings from the Participatory Learning and Action for Disability (PLA-D) trial in Luuka District.
What makes this approach distinctive? People with disabilities lead the change. Through community groups, they identify barriers to healthcare, develop solutions, put them into action and review their progress. Locally known as “Tusobola”-“We can”, the approach places lived experience, collective action and community ownership at the heart of better health.
For @Amref_Worldwide , this builds on years of experience with participatory approaches. Our earlier work with @WCF_UK First helped women facing poverty and exclusion build confidence, strengthen their livelihoods and take greater control of decisions affecting their lives.
In Luuka, we have witnessed people with disabilities who previously faced discrimination accessing health services with greater confidence and dignity. These experiences explain why we take pride in implementing PLA-D: it strengthens people’s ability to claim their rights while supporting more inclusive and responsive healthcare.
We appreciate the @LSHTM School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), the lead research partner, and Principal Investigator Professor Hannah Kuper for their leadership. We also recognise Sarah Marks, the @MRC/UVRI & @LSHTM Uganda Research Unit, @Makerere University, @WCF_UK First, and the communities whose knowledge and commitment have shaped this work.
Join us as we explore the evidence and lessons for advancing disability-inclusive healthcare.

As global health leaders convene at the #WHS2026, one message is clear: Africa’s health future depends on African leadership, robust primary healthcare (PHC), a well-trained health workforce, and stable domestic funding, complemented by reliable international support.
At #AHAIC2027 in Kigali, Rwanda, we are shifting from conversation to concrete action. Our focus will be on implementing homegrown solutions, supporting reforms led by African countries, and strengthening resilient health systems to advance Africa’s health sovereignty.
Our goal is to move beyond commitments and take action to build a healthier, more self-reliant Africa.

Today in Luuka District, @Amref_Worldwide , together with MRC/UVRI & LSHTM with support from @HopeHealthAct , handed over 60 wheelchairs to vulnerable community members living with disabilities. We appreciate Dr. Waiswa, DHO Luuka, for the district support, and @Amref_UK.
I found this innovative, with local resources we can protect & secure our contribution to climate change. A lot of efforts are put in place to plant trees as a contribution to climate change but the big questions remains "how many of the planted trees are supported to thrive? " – at Uganda

Overcoming debt is a slow, intentional journey. You don’t escape it by rushing or borrowing more, you do it by paying off small portions consistently, adjusting your lifestyle, and staying disciplined. Every payment, no matter how small, weakens the debt’s grip. @NButeraba shares more in this clip. Sign up for the NSSF Financial Literacy program today and start your journey to a life of financial freedom.
