Support Community-Led Ebola Containment in Uganda

Measurable Progress in Containment Efforts

Because of your continued support, we are seeing measurable progress in efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak.

With strengthened systems now in place, response teams are detecting cases earlier, monitoring contacts more effectively, and reducing opportunities for transmission. Compared to the early phase of the outbreak, coordination has improved and response times have shortened significantly.

Your contributions have helped:

• Strengthen rapid response systems across multiple locations
• Improve early detection and reporting mechanisms
• Support consistent monitoring of exposed individuals

As a result, the likelihood of uncontrolled spread has been reduced, and containment efforts are becoming more effective.

While the work is not yet finished, this progress is a clear indication that the response is moving in the right direction.

Your support is helping turn emergency action into measurable results.

Impact Update – Building Community Confidence and Cooperation

A key outcome of your support has been the growing trust between communities and response teams.

At the start of the outbreak, fear and uncertainty made it difficult for some communities to engage fully with health interventions. Today, that is changing.

With your contributions, we have:

• Increased community outreach and engagement efforts
• Worked with local leaders to promote accurate information
• Encouraged open communication between residents and response teams

As a result, more individuals are cooperating with contact tracing, reporting symptoms early, and following prevention guidance.

This growing trust is critical to stopping Ebola.

Your support is helping transform fear into cooperation—and cooperation into effective action that protects entire communities.
