The modular format of the curriculum allows learners to acquire job specific skills and knowledge (competences) module by module. In principle, and following the philosophy of Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET), the modules can be used as a guide for learning in a training centre or at the work place or combination of both. PART III: Assessment Instruments in form of performance
Uganda’s Business, Technical, Vocational, Education and Training (BTVET) sub-sector has undergone many reforms in effort to meet the National Development Plan‘s objectives for skilling Uganda’s human resources and for Uganda Vision 2040. The reforms include, among others, the review of curricula at all levels of BTVET to make them competence-based and relevant to the needs of the population that the graduates are to serve.
A major challenge to the delivery of services in the health sector is the changing nature of skills demands to the various health cadres. The shifting demands of the expected performance and competencies in tasks at different levels arise from the emerging concerns that call for different approaches in health care interventions.
The Government of Uganda is committed to enhancing and nurturing the development of the desired skills for the effective delivery of health services.
This Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET) curriculum consists of three major parts, sequentially developed by combined panels of practitioners and tutors, guided by DACUM process and TVET Facilitators as follows: Part I: Occupational Profile Part II: Training Modules Part III: Sample Assessment tools.
This Curriculum may be periodically revised to match the dynamic trends in the occupation and hence issued in different version
Anaesthesia training program. Uganda’s population has increased to 34 million people which calls for increase Health Centre IVs (HCIVs), districts, and Regional Referral Hospitals (RRHs). The training programme will take two (2) years, consisting of four (4) semesters with assessments carried out for each semester.
This Curriculum is competence-based and consists of three major parts which were developed sequentially by combined panels of practitioners and tutors between November and December 2015.

HIV and AIDS continue to affect the lives of millions around the world. But they are not faceless millions. Almost all of us know a friend, family member or co-worker who has been affected. In our work as United Nations employees, we also see at first hand how the pandemic is ravaging the developing world, particularly Africa and South Asia.
Anthrax essentially ceased to be regarded as a disease of major health or economic importance after the enormous successes of Max Sterne’s veterinary vaccine developed in the 1930s, and subsequent analogs in the former Soviet Union, in dramatically reducing the incidence of the disease in livestock throughout the world in the ensuing two decades. The 1980s saw a resurgence of interest in the disease, partly stimulated by a renewed focus on Bacillus anthracis, the agent of anthrax, as a potential agent for a biological weapon, after the largest reported outbreak of human inhalational anthrax that took place in 1979 in the city then called Sverdlovsk (now Ekaterinburg) in the former Soviet Union, and partly because of increasing recognition that anthrax had by no means “gone away” as a naturally occurring disease in animals and humans in many countries
A WHO Technical Consultation on Antimalarial Combination Therapy was held in Geneva, Switzerland on 4 and 5 April 2001. Participants reflected a wide range of expertise in the development and use of antimalarial drugs (Annex 1).
The Financing of Palliative Care Services in Uganda was established for the funding of sources for palliative care services, the services provided and the financial sustainability plans.
