CDFU is the Community Engagement Agency under the USAID/Uganda Voucher Plus Activity, an intervention aimed improving maternal health outcomes in the country through the voucher system.  The 5 – year USAID supported activity operates in 29 districts of Acholi, Lango, Bugisu, and Teso sub regions and targets 120 private facilities.

The Activity contributes to increased demand, access and utilization of safe motherhood services through the private sector using vouchers in the target districts. The voucher will enable a poor pregnant woman who will be selected following a set eligibility criteria to access: four (4) ANC visits; elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV; safe delivery & referrals for complications; referral transportation; postnatal care and postpartum FP.
