Background
Introduction
PATH has been implementing the Advocacy and Public Policy project in Uganda since 2017, initially focusing mainly on immunization policy and financing, and later expanding the advocacy scope to include primary health care (PHC), reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent, and ageing health (RMNCAAH) and medical oxygen. This advocacy journey has been characterized by remarkable policy advocacy achievements, notwithstanding lessons and challenges especially those related to the COVID-19 pandemic that made the advocacy environment volatile for PATH and its collaborating partners.

In 2023, the APP project in Uganda will be transitioning the biggest part of its advocacy scope to local partners, while maintaining focus on regional advocacy and supporting other PATH programs and projects to grow their advocacy components and portfolios. A smooth transition of this advocacy scope to local partners has been laid out in a transition plan. The year 2023 will, hence, focus on consolidating partnerships and collaboration with local partners, including existing CSO coalitions and networks. It is hoped that these will continue applying PATH’s proven advocacy approaches and tactics, while maintaining the vision of working towards transformative health policies and better budgets that will contribute to the attainment of Universal Health Coverage in Uganda.

Against this background, PATH has planned a structured documentation exercise in the second quarter of the year 2023. The exercise will aim to tell PATH’s advocacy story by capturing its experiences, successes and learnings while implementing policy advocacy in Uganda. The exercise will also capture approaches and models that worked well in delivering successful advocacy results for the last couple of years.

• To document PATH's experiences, successes and learnings while implementing policy advocacy for PHC, Immunization, RMNCAH and medical oxygen at country level
