• Scale up investments to strengthen the capacity of the NTLCP, the NMCP and other key stakeholders for TB and malaria in order to increase their technical and operational capabilities to identify and address human rights and gender-related barriers. [...] This report sets out the findings and recommendations from the assessment.5 By 2022, the MoH, along with its partners and stakeholders, had continued to take important steps to address and mitigate the health and social impacts of the interlinked epidemics of HIV, TB and malaria. [...] There were some limitations to many of the efforts that affected what they could achieve in terms of durable changes in the frequency and intensity of stigma, discrimination and violence, and in terms of inclusiveness of the full diversity of PLHIV and those at risk of these negative events, particularly key populations. [...] 4.3 Ensure rights‐based law enforcement practices The aim of this program area in Uganda is to equip the different duty-bearers and stakeholders involved in law enforcement and the administration of justice to understand and carry out their roles and responsibilities in such a way as to contribute to, and not impede, the attainment of important public health goals within the context of the HRBA. [...] Along with the government of Uganda and other funders and partners, the Global Fund has been an important source of investment in building the capacity of stakeholders across the law and justice sector to ensure that law enforcement practices change and evolve to the extent that they do not interfere with access, uptake and retention in HIV and TB services, as well as other related health services.
