Over the past fifteen years, CEHURD has strategically positioned itself as a leading organisation that uses strategic litigation as a tool to advance broader systemic health and human rights change, through promoting health rights, holding duty bearers accountable, driving legal and policy reforms and provision of legal aid to vulnerable and inadequately served populations, especially the targeted constituencies.
Hinged onto the institutionβs strategic plan objective 1, Promoting sustainable access to justice in health and human rights in Uganda, CEHURD advocates for access to healthcare and justice in health through its programme approaches by engaging partners, courts of law, quasi-judicial bodies, tribunals, legal service providers and private law firms. CEHURD continues to conduct legal-aid (mobile) clinics in the targeted districts, as well as employ formal and informal justice mechanisms to serve the targeted constituencies. These will address the legal and policy barriers to equitable access to quality healthcare.
By 2034, CEHURD envisions to achieve the following medium and long-term outcomes: Enhanced capacity of community structures to address health rights violations; increased legal redress and positive judgments in health rights cases; improved collaboration with Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) Actors; strengthened Case Management System for Health Rights Violations; increased access to justice in health and human rights for all; and strengthened legal framework for health rights protection. The key priority interventions under this objective will include the following: Litigation, Provide legal aid to the targeted constituencies, Strengthen Legal Frameworks through Legal Analysis, Establish Partnership and Collaborations with JLOS Actors).
