Why Choose us

Welcome to Uganda Key Population Consortium!

We’re a consortium uniting key population-led organizations in Uganda. Together, we are advocating for inclusive health policy analysis and lobbying

The Uganda Key Population Consortium – UKPC was formed on 19th July 2018 at Mulago Referral Hospital, Kampala to bring together representatives of Key Populations (KPs) to collectively define and advocate for issues of common concern including response to shrinking resources and space for key population-led organizations. The UKPC thus serves as an advocacy platform coordinating strategic action and supporting systems and structure strengthening for all members.

About Us

Diversity

UKPC respects and values all individuals, and recognises that understanding and appreciating the diversity of KPs will result in more effective actions

Accountability

UKPC emphasises accountability at various levels including to it members, to its partners and for the effective use of all resources entrusted to the consortium

Empowerment

We understand empowerment as the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights.

Participation

UKPC values the participation of all its members, and believes in the importance of active, informed and voluntary involvement of people in decision-making and the life of their communities.

What you need to know

Why we Do what we do

Key populations in Uganda have routinely faced not only direct threats arising from criminalization, homophobia and transphobia—expressed and encouraged at the highest levels of government—but also internal challenges arising from insufficient funding alongside very slow transitions away from outmoded arrangements that obstructed direct representation by key populations themselves in national bodies that set HIV and health policy. In the past this fueled weak collaboration among constituency groups.

By securing space led by key populations themselves for determining a health advocacy and policy agenda, UKPC left the status quo behind and developed an expectation that key populations should be prioritized in directly occupying policy spaces, conceptualizing and implementing programs, and in capacity expansion efforts. Although still in its early stages of advocacy, the UKPC has already marked important victories.
