Resources: Project brief

Malaria Consortium is advancing community health digitalisation in Uganda by evaluating different methods of implementing the electronic community health information system (eCHIS).

The Catalysing Community Health project aims to expand equitable access to health services for hard-to-reach populations in Bukomansimbi, Gomba and Mpigi districts of Uganda. A shared model of implementation is being evaluated, with Global Fund’s malaria partner implementing integrated community case management and Malaria Consortium being responsible for implementing eCHIS. 

Find out more about the anticipated outcomes and impact in the project brief.
