Uganda and the United States of America have signed a five-year, $1.7 billion health agreement running from 2026 to 2030, with a major shift towards direct government-to-government financing.
The funding will support disease prevention and detection, emergency response and other health programmes, with money increasingly channelled through Uganda's Ministry of Finance rather than external organisations.
The wider co-investment package is valued at $2.3 billion, including Uganda's commitment to increase domestic health financing by more than $500 million over the period.
Both governments said the arrangement would strengthen national ownership, align aid with Uganda's priorities and improve the sustainability of health programmes.
