Makerere University College of Health Sciences will provide tele-psychotherapy services for youth in Uganda using mobile phones, under a $264,974 project grant award from the U.S. Agency for International Development Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator. The award period is from August 12, 2021 through August 11, 2024.
The tele-psychotherapy services aim to support youth mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging mobile technologies for remote service delivery. This aligns with the goals of the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program (CFDA #98.001) to advance global health and humanitarian objectives through strategic partnerships. The total three-year funding will support Makerere University in establishing and expanding mobile tele-psychotherapy services to reach at-risk youth populations in Uganda during this challenging public health crisis period.
