The year 2020, has been marked with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic which has ravaged the world and set a new normal in the lives of people, the way we interact and the way we deliver and access services. The pandemic has taken a staggering toll on people, communities and economies everywhere. But not everyone is affected equally. The pandemic is hitting marginalized communities harder, particularly women and girls, deepening inequalities and threatening efforts to leave no one behind.
This Comprehensive Support Supervision (CSS) Strategy 2020 has been designed to step up efforts and redefine support supervision at all levels of health care in Uganda for a more efficient and effective use of available resources. The Ministry of Health’s (MoH) previous approach to support supervision did not effectively address the persistent gaps in quality of health care and needed closer and more regular interface between supervisors and supervisees. The increase in the number of administrative units in the country has also made it necessary to change the support supervision mechanism used in Uganda.
The revised support supervision guidelines are aligned to the comprehensive support supervision strategy 2019 which was designed to step-up efforts to support supervision at all levels of health care through improved planning, coordination and resourcing to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of support supervision. The guidelines will focus more effort to the Community Health Services Departments at the RRHs to coordinate technical support supervision of the districts and the lower level health facilities.
The main purpose of the 2016 UDHS is to provide the data needed to monitor and evaluate population, health, and nutrition programmes on a regular basis. Increasing emphasis by planners and policymakers on the utilisation of objective indicators for policy formulation, planning, and measuring progress has increased the reliance on regular household survey data, given the inadequate availability of appropriate information from administrative statistics and other routine data collection systems.

Uganda has made significant progress on among others poverty reduction which reduced from 56 in 1992 to 19.7 percent in 2014, the expansion of educational opportunities for young people with 90 percent of the population aged 6-10 years now attending school, and, formulation of gender responsive policies and strategies. This has enhanced the gender equality and empowerment of women and girls in response to the requirements of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda which prohibits all forms of discrimination and provides for the protection and promotion of women’s rights.
The assessment tool guides the supervisors on how to assess each standard, indicates the means of verification and operational definition for each standard.

This Report concludes that Global Value Chains (GVC) can continue to boost growth, create better jobs, and reduce poverty, provided that developing countries undertake deeper reforms and industrial countries pursue open, predictable policies. Technological change is likely to be more of a boon than a curse for trade and GVCs. The benefi ts of GVC participation can be widely shared and sustained if all countries enhance social and environmental protection.
