The Regional Health Integration to Enhance Services - North, Acholi (RHITES-N, Acholi) Project is to increase the access and utilization of quality health services in the Acholi Region of Northern Uganda, developing health systems to sustain these goals. Working through a life-cycle lens, over five years this contract is expected to contribute to measurable improvements in key population-based national health indicators.

Therefore, USAID requires services to strengthen the capacity of Ugandan institutions and communities to increase access to and utilization of quality, integrated health services in the Acholi Sub-Region of Northern Uganda in seven districts in Northern Uganda. These include Amuru, Nwoya, Gulu, Pader, Lamwo, Kitgum, and Agago (Attachment J.10). The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) 2014 population estimate for the target districts is approximately 1.3 million Ugandans, of which as many as 49 percent are below the age of 15 (~650,000) and 20 percent are below the age of five (~266,000).
