This Review addresses a mismatch between what is known about how to respond to particular health problems in poor economies and what is actually done about them. It focuses on one cause of the problems that ensue from the mismatch – capacity constraints. Weak capacity at a number of levels in the institutions and interfaces between knowledge generation and use in policy-making has been identified by the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) as a key strategic issue in addressing health care in low-income countries

Chlamydia infection which can cause infertility is also more common in female partners of uncircumcised men.
There is growing emphasis in the policy debate on rural women’s entrepreneurship as a poverty alleviation strategy and a preferred tactic to spur economic development. To this end, this synthesis report puts into perspective the nature of Uganda’s rural woman entrepreneurs, paying close attention to the women targeted by the Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme (UWEP). This report focuses on rural women’s entrepreneurship.

The multiple challenges facing the health sector in Uganda, as in many other developing countries, need a well defined course of action to address them at the different levels of the National Health System. The plans that evolve to address these health problems should have clearly set objectives that aim at making the best use of the available resources. In the process, due consideration should be given to the available options and ensure that the most appropriate strategies are selected to respond to the identified needs. Proper planning has always been important for the health sector. It becomes even more so with the Fiscal Decentralisation Strategy and a Decentralized Health System which have created multiple points for decision making in mobilization, allocation and utilization of resources for a common goal.
