Who We Are

Our research and interventions prioritize:

✔ Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs)
✔ Vector-Borne Diseases
✔ Infectious Diseases caused by bacterial and viral pathogens affecting humans and animals

Additionally, we address the growing impact of climate change on public health—rising disease endemicity, environmental degradation, natural disasters, and poverty-related illnesses—by implementing innovative, science-driven solutions.

Our Approach

NCHRD embraces a One Health framework, recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Through this holistic approach, we design and implement interventions that foster sustainable disease control efforts across Uganda and the broader Eastern African region.

Our Commitment

As an independent, non-political, non-partisan, non-denominational, and non-profit organization, NCHRD operates with full legal recognition under Ugandan law. We collaborate closely with the Ministry of Health’s Vector-Borne Diseases, Infectious Diseases and NTD Divisions, and our work is further supported by a memorandum of understanding with the Government of Uganda.

Our Journey of Impact and Excellence

Since our inception, we have remained committed to evidence-based research, collaborative partnerships, and community-driven solutions. Through innovative interventions and dedicated research, NCHRD is shaping the future of public health in Uganda and beyond.

Nyange CHRD's Experience in Vector Control

Nyange CHRD personnel and affiliates have extensive experience in vector control and vector-borne disease prevention. Their expertise spans a wide range of interventions aimed at reducing disease transmission and strengthening public health systems.

• Larval Source Management: Extensive experience in larviciding aquatic stages of disease vectors, including mosquitoes and Simulium species responsible for the transmission of onchocerciasis.
• Intermediate Host Control: Experience in controlling snail intermediate hosts to interrupt the transmission of parasitic diseases.
• Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS): Successful implementation of Indoor Residual Spraying programs for the prevention and control of malaria and other vector-borne diseases.
• Training and Capacity Building: Strong expertise in training public health professionals and strengthening institutional capacity in vector control and disease prevention.
• Community Engagement: Extensive experience mobilizing and engaging communities to support disease prevention, vector control interventions, and sustainable public health initiatives.
