Partnership Initiatives

As a national palliative care association, PCAU’s mission is “To accelerate the integration of palliative care in the Uganda health care systems through capacity building, advocacy, research and resource mobilization.” The organization’s most recent five-year strategic plan, which covers the years of 2022 – 2026, provides a roadmap for the partners to follow.” Ongoing communications and in-person visits help assure that our activities are aligned with PCAU’s objectives and strengthen the personal relationships that are crucial to the partnership’s success.

These strong, meaningful relationships between staff members at CHC/HF and PCAU are fostered through regular videoconference meetings and correspondence as well as staff exchanges. We also support PCAU’s efforts to achieve long-term sustainability through technical/web, financial and operational assistance.
