ISMH’s Dr Isa Uny presented to and attended the 2nd UGANDA ALCOHOL POLICY (VIRTUAL) CONFERENCE (UAPC20)“Mobilising Partnerships and Community Action for A Society Free from Alcohol Harm” on 27th November. The Conference was attended in Uganda and virtually by 120 global delegates from Governments, NGOS, and other alliances working to minimise harmful alcohol consumption. Isa introduced ISMH’s upcoming AHRC funded study “Regulating alcohol packaging and supply to protect health in Sub-Saharan Africa: evidence from policy systems in Malawi and Uganda”. This project will explore the recent ban of alcohol sachets in Malawi and Uganda (alcohol sachets are small and cheap and have led to harmful consumption amongst the poorest in both countries). Through stakeholders interviews and community focus group discussions, the project will aim to understand: the adoption and formulation of the bans; what mechanisms for implementation were proposed and put in place; how the bans were enforced in practice; and any explanations for intended and unintended consequences of the bans. The outline of the project was well received by those present at the conference and Isa made some useful contacts ahead of starting the project in 2021 (#UAPC20).
