Additional Context: This information was collected as part of The Aid Report’s original reporting, “Uganda’s TB gains face new pressure without US-funded outreach programs.” This feature story examines how U.S. aid cuts are weakening the outreach systems that helped the country make major gains against tuberculosis, even as new AI-powered screening technologies expand access to diagnosis.

While some TB funding continues to be available through the Ugandan government, the Global Fund, and the U.S. government, active case finding and diagnostic capabilities across Uganda's health system and NGOs have been diminished. Health experts say the challenge now is sustaining the workforce and outreach systems needed to connect patients to available technologies.

Devex Researcher Note: This 14% reduction can also be attributed to the cancellation of the March 2025 round of CAST TB+, a USAID-supported active case finding campaign, which conducted door-to-door screening and had reached 1.2 million people, as previously recorded by the Aid Report.
