Objectives
The objective of the project is to establish a pool of school-going adolescent girls and boys as‘immunisation ambassadors’ and change agents able to engage and empower mothers and community members and link them to maternal and neonatal immunisation services by training them on vaccines and leadership skills.

Increasing malaria trends amidst routine core interventions among residents of varying transmission settings of Uganda
REFNo: HS1033ES
1) To compare the malaria trends measured using Test Positivity Rate and Total laboratory confirmed cases of malaria relative to incidence in high malaria settings in Uganda
