Through the AIDS Support Organization (TASO), the Global Fund Principal Recipient 2 (PR2) for the non-public sector, Baylor Foundation Uganda (BFU) was awarded UGX 7.56 BN for FY 2024 as a sub-recipient (SR) of Grant Cycle 7 (GC7). This funding will support Uganda’s HIV and TB reduction strategy in 38 districts and two cities.  

Dr. Denise Josephine Birungi, Head of Programs at BFU said that BFU had been a sub-recipient of the previous grant cycles, NFM (New Funding Model) 2 and NFM3 since 2018.

I am confident that together we can make a positive impact on the lives of individuals affected by these diseases by working together to achieve sustainable results,” said Dr. Dithan Kiragga, Executive Director of BFU.
