COVID-19 Inter-Action Review, June 2022

In June 2022, Uganda Ministry of Health organized an Inter-Action Review (IAR) on implementation of the resurgence plan for COVID-19. The IAR was aimed at sharing experiences on implementation of the response plan, so as to identify challenges and best practices in order to improve the country‘s strategic preparedness and response plan.
The review brought together key stakeholders from national and sub-national levels to share their experience during the response and built consensus on priorities to be implemented in the next phase of the response.

Reviews were obtained from the different pillars of the response including: case management, logistics, risk communication, community engagement and social protection, laboratory, Incident Management Team (IMT) coordination, Information Communications Technology and advanced mobile phone services; innovations, and surveillance. The process involved: obtaining internal reviews from each pillar, a district-level IAR which was inclusive of regional referral hospitals and finally a workshop to bring all the information obtained together. Results of this will be shared widely to all stakeholders of the COIVD-19 response.

We appreciate the technical and financial support received from the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organisation, UNICEF, International Organisation for Migration, Baylor Children‘s Foundation Uganda, Infectious Diseases Institute, UNIPH, the academia, civil society and the Uganda Ministry of Health
