President Yoweri Museveni has today revealed the amount of money given to Uganda by the United States of America (USA) to boost the country’s Covid19 vaccination effort.

Earlier today while speaking at a meeting with the US Ambassador to Uganda, H.E Natalie Brown made the announcement and commitment to offer financial support of US$27million (UGX Shs94,842,413,000 billion) to Uganda’s vaccination effort.

Museveni also asked the Ministry of Health to provide informed sensitization messages to the public and encourage mass vaccination in the fight against Covid19.

“I thank the USA government for this contribution. The USA is a friendly country. Our relatives (The Black people) in the USA are now about 45million. The American government works with us in many areas. We share the same position against terrorism because of our own experience here. We are a frontline state against organic terrorist. I am very happy that they have made this contribution,” he said.

The USA Ambassador to Uganda noted that they aim to increase vaccination efforts globally and to at least have 70 percent of the country’s populations vaccinated by the end of December of 2022.

She added that Uganda was chosen following its very successful vaccination awareness campaign.

“After the Delta variant, working together, we re-invigorated efforts to get people vaccinated and raise awareness. This made quite a difference and that is why Uganda was chosen for this initiative. The success of that effort made us realize that if we intensify what we are doing we can reach that target by September. We have a total of US$27million and we are already in discussions with the Ministry of Health to see what is needed in terms of logistics and all it takes to get shots into the arms of Ugandans so that people can go back to activities and engagements that we enjoyed before the pandemic that has affected us all,” Natalie noted.

A few days ago the World Bank also provided USD180.3m (Shs632,117,080, 000 billion) grant for the Uganda Covid-19 response and emergency preparation project.
