Research management
Building on decades of experience, we manage the challenges of field implementation with an obsession for quality and absolute integrity.
Policy advocacy
Our relationship with the Ministry of Health and World Health Organization provide us a unique position to advocate for policy changes. Contract with us to advocate for your high-impact intervention.
High-Impact Fund
Our programs save the life of a child for a few hundred dollars. Support these programs as they scale in Uganda and beyond.
Walimu’s network of allies at the Ministry of Health and World Health Organization enable us to turn research findings into permanent changes at scale across Uganda.

On-time and accountable execution of health research in resource-constrained settings in Uganda is our expertise. We have experience implementing scores of projects with hundreds of implementing locations, thousands of health workers and tens of thousands of patients. Most importantly, we adhere to the highest international standards for integrity and accountability, with zero-tolerance for misuse of funds and an expert and trustworthy finance team.
We only take on research projects that have a reasonable path to scale, if successful. We have deep relationships with partners within the Ministry of Health, WHO Country Office and other partners in country. We advocate and collaborate to sustainably scale interventions that improve health outcomes.
Our expertise is in implementation science, cross-cutting across a range of health verticals. We have centers that focus on tuberculosis and sepsis research, and we are open to working with new researchers to expand our areas of focus.
We have two hard requirements:
Walimu is a full-service research partner. We will assist you during the grant application phase. Once an award is secured, we handle all aspects of implementation under the direction of the principal investigator team. Most notably, we provide human resources (staffing, supervision) and finance (payments, reporting), two of the most difficult challenges for global researchers. We also handle grant reporting.
Walimu has strong relationships and high credibility within the Ugandan health system. As a local NGO with a 100% Ugandan staff (150+) and a decade of collaboration with the Ministry of Health, WHO Country Office and others, we are well-positioned to advocate for interventions that will improve patient outcomes. If you are interested in contracting with us on a policy advocacy project, please reach out.
Currently, donations will be directed to our Smart Discharges program, which saves the life of a child for a few hundred dollars. Learn more about Smart Discharges →
