UNCC Health & WASH Sector – Kenya & Uganda Programs

The Health and WASH sector of UNCC, supported by our Australian head office, is committed to strengthening health systems and improving access to essential health and hygiene services in underserved communities across Kenya and Uganda.

Our focus includes capacity building for health personnel, improving leadership and governance, and enhancing the delivery of pharmaceutical services, health information systems, and direct health services. These efforts align with our strategy to support state and county-level health departments to efficiently manage and deliver essential healthcare.
