Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Programme In High Burden Districts (ISPHD) /Heroes Programme Of Uganda – Baseline Report | 2022

The ISPHD programme (HEROES4GTA) is a district-based programme implemented by a consortium of Amref Health Africa in Uganda, Cordaid, MIFUMI, and the International Centre for Research on Women (ICRW) for the period 2020–2024 in the 9 High Burden Districts of Uganda with funding from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Kampala. The programme uses a socio-ecological model to enable a synergistic diffusion of SRHR and SGBV interventions at an individual, relational, communal, and institutional level. At the individual level, HEROES4GTA targets young people (age 10–24) and women of reproductive age (15–49), while at the social and relational level, it engages couples, parents, teachers, traditional leaders, religious leaders, health workers, and community leaders. At the institutional level, a multi-sectoral mechanism strengthens systems of leadership and governance so that SRHR/SGBV can be dealt with in an effective way.

THE PURPOSE OF THE BASELINE SURVEY
The goal of the study is to establish the baseline programme indicators, as described in the results framework, so that future performance can be measured, and the Theory of Change (TOC) can be improved.
