Uganda Red Cross Community Home Based Care (HBC) for PLWHA projects in Kampala South and Katakwi/Soroti Mid-Term Evaluation
The Uganda Red Cross Society started up a Home Based care program in 2002 with the support of the Norwegian Red Cross. The program is located in two geographical areas - Kampala South and Kapelebyong in Katakwi district, but falling under Soroti branch of Uganda Red Cross. The main objectives of the programme were: to build the capacity within the two Uganda Red Cross Society branches and communities for mitigation of the spread of HIV and support of PLWHA, to provide basic counselling support to people living with HIV and Aids and their families,? to minimize the negative social impact caused by HIV and Aids through material support to PLWHA and their families,? to sensitize the public and promote positive attitude towards people with HIV and Aids and their families (anti-stigma and anti-discrimination campaign). The Mid Term Review was conduced in order to review the implementation of the project so far, with the view to assess the achievements, lessons learnt and make recommendations on the way forward for the project.
