Title: Citizens’ engagement to improving maternal health service delivery in Bujumba sub-county

Background: The project is implemented in the four parishes of Mulabana, Bwendero, Bujumba and Bunyama in Bujumba sub-county. These parishes were selected because of poor access and delivery of maternal health services in the district.  KADINGO is an umbrella advocacy organization focused on empowering the community to demand for improved access and quality maternal health service delivery.

The Project: KADINGO’s Mwananchi intervention is engaged advocating for improvement and access to maternal healthcare services in Kalangala district.  The project initiation involved community sensitization about the new initiative and consultations with the people to identify issues of concern to them that would be subject of discussion during the stakeholder dialogue meetings. This was followed by the identification of two Parish Health Monitors from each parish. They were trained on methods of collecting maternal health information and monitoring tools designed by KADINGO.
