CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR SUBGRANTS 2024; Small Grants to Support Innovative Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Projects

CEHURD started a pilot small grants initiative to support innovative projects among the membership of CSMMUA and the Community Health Advocates with the aim of supporting members to address the recommendations from the Advocacy Capacity Assessment and to strengthen grassroots advocacy. The Coalition to Stop Maternal Mortality due to Unsafe Abortion (CSMMUA) was established with a mission to ensure that Uganda’s Legal and Policy framework advances sexual and reproductive health and equity for women and girls.

For this final year of the small community grants initiative, CEHURD will award small grants of between USD 1,000 – USD 5,000 to four (4) institutional members of CSMMUA working at community level and Community Health Advocates (CHAs) through an unsolicited/competitive process. The small grants are primarily for one-off innovative projects, with a duration of no more than six months. We are thus calling upon all suitable applicants to submit their proposals for these Subgrants.

After over 7 years of litigation, a positive ruling was delivered by the High Court of Uganda (Covil Division) in Miscellaneous Cause No. 327 of 2016, a case involving CEHURD and Nakayima Fatumah against the Executive Director, Mulago National Referral Hospital, and the Attorney General.
