Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) is a Member Association of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), and its core mandate is to champion, provide and enable universal access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) information and services to vulnerable and underserved communities, especially young people. The Association has over 150 members of staff and over 4000 volunteers working with and for communities and individuals. RHU is also committed to Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by contributing to the achievement of equitable access to life-saving, quality sexual and reproductive health care for all, including to the most marginalized and hard-to-reach population groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At all levels, RHU strives to respect and protect the rights of women and girls, promotes gender equality, and works to redress unequal power imbalances between women and men. However, RHU also deliberately targets other segments of the population, including the relatively well to do, with the objective of offering services, but also generating additional resources to cater to its core mission of supporting the vulnerable and poor (social enterprise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RHU\u2019s values include: i) Rights-Based, ii) Results-Oriented, iii) Choice, iv). Voluntarism and v). Integrity<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It currently operates 18 branches spread in all the sub-regions of Uganda. RHU has made a significant contribution in the area of Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RHU is currently in the process of developing a new strategic plan for a period of 6 years (2023 \u2013 2028), aligned with the IPPF strategy 2028 and RHU Business plan 2023-2025. Therefore, RHU seeks to hire a consultant that can assist in developing the strategic plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RHU envisages a Ugandan society where everyone has access to sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services they need and in which their SRHR choices are respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RHU is committed to promoting high quality, high impact and gender-sensitive sexual and reproductive health and rights information and services for vulnerable and most at-risk population of young people (15-30 years) in Uganda through capacity building, specialized service delivery, issue-specific advocacy, and strategic partnerships<\/p>\n\n\n\n
