Community at the Centre
We work with communities and peer structures to understand barriers, strengthen linkages and make health services more accessible, acceptable and responsive.
ABOUT MARPI
Who Are We?
Most At Risk Populations Initiative (MARPI) is a Ugandan national non-governmental organisation working to improve access to quality, inclusive and rights-based health services for communities that experience heightened vulnerability to HIV and other health challenges.
MARPI AT A GLANCE
A community-centred organisation with a strong health and rights mandate.
MARPI combines service delivery, community engagement, capacity strengthening, advocacy, research, monitoring and innovation to respond to the health needs of Key and Priority Populations and other vulnerable communities.
WHO WE ARE
What MARPI stands for
Our work is built around practical access to services, meaningful community participation and evidence-informed action.
Integrated Health Response
Our approach brings together HIV prevention, testing, treatment and care with TB, STI, sexual and reproductive health and other complementary services.
Health & Human Rights
We seek to reduce stigma, discrimination, violence and other barriers that prevent people from accessing appropriate health and support services.
Evidence & Learning
Monitoring, evaluation, research and data use help MARPI learn from implementation, strengthen accountability and improve programme quality.
Partnerships
MARPI works with government, development partners, civil-society organisations, communities and other stakeholders to strengthen the health response.
Innovation
We explore practical approaches, digital tools and service models that can improve reach, information access, linkage and continuity of care.
Our work is about people, not just programmes.
From facility-based care to community outreach and digital engagement, MARPI works to make health information and services easier to reach for the people and communities we serve.
