About this ebook
The Joint External Evaluation (JEE) team expresses its appreciation to Uganda for volunteering for the JEE and for its commitment to global health security. Uganda has made impressive progress in strengthening its capacity to prepare for, detect early and rapidly respond to public health emergencies and disasters.
The evaluation was conducted using the latest JEE tool version 3, which incorporates lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and other health emergencies. Uganda’s effective response to these challenges demonstrates its capacity to manage health emergencies effectively while maintaining routine healthcare services.
Uganda has made notable gains towards attaining national health security since the previous IHR JEE in 2017. The Office of the Prime Minister in collaboration with Ministry of Health has established strong partnerships with other government ministries, departments and agencies, and continues to enjoy valuable support from development partners in the country. Uganda has attained the threshold to support other countries in the region in selected IHR technical capacity areas.
The JEE mission, conducted in Uganda from 23 to 27 October 2023, involved a peer-to-peer consultative process that included discussions, collaboration, and site visits across 19 technical areas. A multisectoral group of national and international experts participated, leading to consensus on scores and priority actions for each technical area. The evaluation was designed to support Uganda’s IHR (2005) implementation and enhance health security.
