Through transformative training for both primary and secondary school teachers, PEERU is focused on advancing health, and creating safe, supportive spaces for learners. Schools are more than centres of academic excellence, they are critical environments where young people develop confidence, life skills, and a sense of belonging.

Through these engagements, teachers are equipped with practical knowledge and tools to:
• Promote health-seeking behaviours among learners
• Address stigma and discrimination in school settings
• Foster inclusive, respectful, and protective learning environments
• Identify and respond to the diverse needs of young people

PEERU participated in the Quarter One coordination meeting of the (Family Planning Budget Advocacy Group), which focused on validating the 2026 priorities and developing a joint action plan. The meeting was co-chaired by Mr. Bwire Moses, Executive Director of PEERU, and organized by the National Planning Authority. This engagement contributed to strengthening coordination and advancing a more strategic and impactful family planning advocacy agenda.

Key discussions centered on strengthening strategic investment in Family Planning (FP), advocating for direct resource allocation to FP, ensuring availability of essential FP commodities at sub national, and scaling up demand generation activities. The meeting also emphasized the importance of holding decision-makers accountable and minimizing fragmented advocacy efforts to enhance collective impact.

The meeting further reflected on Vote 116 allocations to Family Planning and the implications of Uganda’s 10% population growth rate on planning and resource needs.

These engagements remain critical in advancing equitable access to family planning services and driving sustainable health outcomes.

When communities are empowered to speak, lead, and shape decisions, solutions become more responsive, and impactful.

From improving cultrual values and identity, access to essential health services, to strengthening economic resilience, grassroot leaders remains central to lasting progress in achieving sustainable development.

Men are key to achieving an HIV-free generation.

When young men and boys are empowered with the right information, support, and services, they make informed decisions, support their peers, families, and strengthen communities.

At PEERU, we are working with communities to break stigma, improve access to HIV services, and promote viral load suppression through peer-led support and lived experiences.
