A Regional Partners’ Consultative Forum established by WHO in Gulu district, Northern Uganda has strengthened partner coordination, increased resource mobilization, and created synergies for an effective COVID-19 response. The coordination has helped to harmonize response activities, foster accountability, and transparency. With WHO technical coordination and guidance, there is now less fragmentation and duplication of response activities. The COVID-19 Partners’ Consultative Forum for the sub-region is composed of more than 50 members, each representing a different organization, government department, private sector, civil society, organization, and other stakeholders. “Building effective partnerships has led to improved resource mapping and mobilization from the respective partners, which has helped to meet the demands of the affected persons, communities, and institutions for an impactful response,” says Margaret Nanyonga, a WHO staff based in Gulu City.
