Co-creating Health Solutions with the Marginalized, Indigenous Batwa Communities: A Human-Centered Design Approach

Better care begins with listening. A research poster on co-creating health solutions with more than 300 Batwa participants in Kabale, Kanungu and Kisoro, using community dialogue to understand barriers to care and inform practical responses.

Developed through the USAID Uganda Health Activity with the USAID Social Behavioral Change Activity, this work uses human-centred design to bring community experience into health programming. It points to community health-worker training, better coordination and integrated outreach as responses informed by participants’ priorities.
