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.

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.

UKPC Key Activities
Drawing from these innovative coalitions, activists from key population and non-key population identified organizations in Uganda have developed HIV treatment and prevention advocacy priorities that focus on the accountability of the Government of Uganda, along with the main actors in the Ugandan HIV response, in particular the US Government’s President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
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.
