Joint statement on the constitutional court judgement in constitutional petitions no. 25 of 2020 & 10 of 2017 on termination of pregnancy in Uganda

January 19, 20260

On 14th November 2025, we received the long-awaited judgment in Constitutional Petitions No. 25 of 2020 and No. 10 of 2017, challenging the State’s omission to formulate and enact a law regulating the termination of pregnancy in Uganda, in line with Articles 22(2) and 79(1) and (2) of the 1995 Constitution. This judgment follows an extensive litigation journey that began in 2017, marked by multiple hearings, reconstituted panels of Justices, and repeated adjournments for judgment on notice.

Its issuance represents a significant moment in the ongoing struggle for clarity, constitutional compliance, and protection of reproductive rights in Uganda.

CSMMUA Strategic Plan Campass 2024 – 2028

January 19, 20260

We are cognisant of the fact that one of our key strengths as a Coalition is our collective power; therefore, building collective power amongst Coalition Members is at the core of CSMMUA. The Coalition is also cognisant of the fact that while it has a relatively large membership across the country, giving it presence in a wide geographical coverage it seeks to serve; the expanded nature does not translate into corresponding action and sustained interventions due to capacity gaps, lack of value alignment, lack of resources to undertake safe abortion work, fear of the impact of punitive laws and capacity gaps at the Coordinating Secretariate.

This Strategic Plan will invest in reinforcing and strategically strengthen the Coalition in the existing geographical areas such that the membership can deepen their community work, social mobilisation, and advocacy.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR CSMMUA SUBGRANTS 2024: Small Grants to Support Innovative Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Projects

March 1, 20240

CEHURD started a pilot small grants initiative to support innovative projects among the membership of CSMMUA and the Community Health Advocates with the aim of supporting members to address the recommendations from the Advocacy Capacity Assessment and to strengthen grassroots advocacy. The Coalition to Stop Maternal Mortality due to Unsafe Abortion (CSMMUA) was established with a mission to ensure that Uganda’s Legal and Policy framework advances sexual and reproductive health and equity for women and girls.

For this final year of the small community grants initiative, CEHURD will award small grants of between USD 1,000 – USD 5,000 to four (4) institutional members of CSMMUA working at community level and Community Health Advocates (CHAs) through an unsolicited/competitive process. The small grants are primarily for one-off innovative projects, with a duration of no more than six months. We are thus calling upon all suitable applicants to submit their proposals for these Subgrants.
