This case study provides a preliminary review of the Government of Uganda’s initial response to COVID-19 from March to June 2020 across institutional, financial, and operational dimensions. It seeks to capture the priorities and investments made early in the trajectory of the outbreak and can inform both immediate adaptations of the response and long-term reforms that improve the resiliency of its health and emergency response systems. The corresponding response by the Government of Uganda to COVID-19 will need to follow suit. The case study provides a baseline for key stakeholders in the country to build upon.
