Advocacy for Better Health

Advocacy for Better Health was a US Agency for International Development; a five-year, $20 million project aimed at improving the availability, accessibility, and quality of health and social services in Uganda.

Implemented by PATH and Initiatives Inc., the project aspired to engage communities in the planning and monitoring of health and social services, and enhance the capacity of civil society organizations to represent citizen interests and conduct advocacy to strengthen programs, budgets, and health-related policies.

Below is a portfolio that was created for health advocates interested in learning more about, or replicating the Advocacy for Better Health model. It is a practical toolset, rooted in established advocacy practices and the experience of the many participants of the project. It contains tools, templates, and resources used by the project.
