Abstract: The Reproductive Health (RH) and Child Survival sub-program consists of two closely interlinked sub-themes of Reproductive Health and Child Survival. Effective contraceptive methods are a prerequisite for RH. It is estimated by WHO that 100 000 women die every year due to unsafe abortion or lack of contraceptive methods. Contraceptive use in Uganda is among the lowest in the world and maternal mortality due to unsafe abortion among the highest accounting for 15-30% of the maternal death.The major themes currently being addressed include: (1) Maternal Mortality and Morbidityo Adolescent health and pregnancy; (2)Emergency contraceptiono Cervical Cancer screening programming. (3) Male Violence and its effects on pregnancy and its social context. These areas were identified as key issues of research in response to the national identified problem areas to reduce morbidity and mortality among women. (SEK 4 200 000)
