About FLEP FLEP was established in May 1986 as part of the Health Sector of the Multi-Sectoral Rural Development Program (MSRDP) of Busoga Diocese, Church of Uganda. Since its inception, Pathfinder International has been the main financial donor, with supplemental funding from Planned Parenthood of Northern England, Threshold Foundation, Japan Embassy, World Bank through STI projects at district levels, Ministry of Health Government of Uganda and beneficiaries of FLEP services. The Mission of FLEP is to contribute to the improved health and welfare of the people of Uganda with an emphasis on the Busoga region by providing high quality integrated health services and strengthening community capacity to manage and sustain these services. Our vision is to be the preferred partner for community initiatives in health. FLEP operates against the following principles: Inclusiveness: To serve all people regardless of sex, age and creed. Community participation: To work with, not for, the people, animating their talents, resources and energies in their own development. Community management: To give the people themselves the opportunity and responsibility to the direction and management of the self-help initiatives. Integration: To forge health sectoral initiatives into a holistic and mutually reinforcing response to the situation of communities, households and individuals. Distinctness: To remain rooted in the church’s ministry structure, but to offer its services as a distinct entity. FLEP Objectives: To promote reproductive health services and education To improve, encourage and promote community outreach, community participation and involvement in health care provision and utilization. To encourage the local populace to be supportive of beneficial sexual and Reproductive health practices. To strengthen the reporting/collection of service delivery data for efficiency. To develop and strengthen linkages between other Ugandan and non-Ugandan institutions, which have technical input and can make contribution to program implementation.
