About ACT Health:
Funded
by DfID-Uganda, Goal Uganda had been implementing the Accountability Can
Transform (ACT) Health in 16 Districts of Uganda since 2014. The programme is

assess health service / utilisation status and document proposed improvements
in quality and use of health services. The foundations of the ACT Health
programme are: dissemination of Citizen Report Cards through health worker
dialogues, community dialogues and meetings between community members and
health centre staff. In the community level dialogues, participants agree on
priority issues and actions to address challenges at a local level. The
progress is reviewed every six months. The programme also has evidence-based,
people-centred district and national advocacy components. Throughout
implementation, the programme tries to balance focus on responsibility,
responsiveness and relationships to improve health outcomes.
