PATH’s Advocacy and Public Policy (APP) department works to improve the health of women and children by strengthening policies and financing affecting their well-being, including support for research and development. The department works with policymakers, coalitions, and other influential stakeholders to drive change at the global, national and sub-national levels. In Uganda, the department is implementing a one-year workplan focusing on the continuum of care for reproduction, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) services. It also focuses on immunization, primary health care, COVID-19 pandemic prevention and vaccine introduction and deployment.

Throughout the year 2021, the department team in Uganda will engage in a series of advocacy engagements to deliver on its primary policy outcomes. The advocacy engagements that will require photography services (as and when considered necessary) will include, both small and large meetings and workshops, public events, media and communication activities, community engagements, virtual meetings, project impact documentation, on-job and remote advocacy technical assistance.
