Abstract

This is an assessment of the level of knowledge and awareness of women on sexual and
reproductive health services under decentralization in Kampala Uganda. It examined
knowledge and perceptions about SRH. Kyanja parish in Nakawa division which is located
in Kampala district was purposively selected as the study area. A purposive and simple
random sampling techniques were used in selecting 77 respondents from the 5 zones in
the parish. The study was cross-sectional and it employed both qualitative and quantitative
methods of data collection. The results of the study reveal that respondents understood
SRH in different ways. Majority of the respondents believe that SRH is a general
reproductive health care among women. However, some men think that women who seek
for SRH are immoral something that limit most women from seeking for such services on
time. There is need to address the existing gender and social cultural factors that limit
women’s liberation.
