The U.S. Mission in Kampala has been working closely with the Ugandan Ministry of Health and many other partners to address risk communications as a critical piece of the COVID-19 response in Uganda. As the cases in Uganda increase and lock down restrictions are lifted, it becomes increasingly important for vital resources to be shared as widely as possible. The U.S. Mission in Kampala believes we can assist with this by leveraging our wide network of colleagues to disseminate coordinated, strategic, and comprehensive risk communications messaging.

We are asking you as community leaders in Uganda to take the COVID-19 communications resources in this toolkit; and utilize, implement, and most importantly share them as extensively as possible. The more people who know how to keep themselves and their families safe, know the appropriate symptoms for which to look, and know how to seek the care and treatment they need, the greater the success we will have in beating COVID-19 together!

Thank you for joining us in the fight against COVID-19!

With gratitude,

Chris Krafft

Chargé d’affaires U.S. Embassy Kampala
