The Action Group for Health, Human Rights and HIV&AIDS (AGHA) is a health rights advocacy organization in Uganda dedicated to raising awareness of the human rights aspects of health, and improving the quality of health and healthcare for all Ugandans. It is underpinned by the principles of the rights-based approach to mobilize health professionals, in collaboration with communities, in health rights advocacy for promoting equity and social justice for all Ugandans.
Led by AGHA and comprising of various human rights organizations, the Civil Society Shadow reporting initiative on the performance of the Health Sector started way back in 2010. The aim of Shadow reporting is to provide the Civil Society Organizations’ (CSOs) view on performance of the Health Sector in order to improve health outcomes. One of the objectives of Shadow reporting is to engage CSOs in monitoring and evaluating health sector performance independently.
The goal of the Shadow reporting initiative is to improve the capacity of CSOs to meaningfully engage with government and development partners on health policy processes within the International Health Partnerships (IHP+) framework in Uganda and contribute to efficiency and effectiveness in health service delivery.
