Biography

Josephine has also contributed to policy and programme development processes with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development in Uganda. Her work has supported the review and development of national initiatives and policy frameworks related to Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH), Male Involvement in Sexual and Reproductive Health, and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response, including inputs aligned with Uganda’s National Policy Guidelines and Service Standards for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and the National Policy on the Elimination of Gender-Based Violence in Uganda.

Josephine has conducted research and contributed to scholarship on issues related to climate change and digital health. Her current research focuses on digital health and health system governance, particularly examining how digital technologies, especially mobile phones are informally used by healthcare workers and managers to navigate the challenges of fragmented and resource-constrained health systems in Uganda.

She collaborates with interdisciplinary research teams working on digital health and health system governance, contributing to emerging scholarship on how everyday digital practices shape health service delivery, communication, and decision-making within low- and middle-income country health systems.
