CDFU is a partner in the AFFORD Project and continues to offer support for the Popular Opinion Leader (POL) intervention funded under the AFFORD Project/Uganda Health Marketing Group (UHMG). The POL intervention is being implemented on behalf of UHMG in 17 districts.

POLs are volunteers based in local communities who support the Good Life communication campaign. CDFU works closely with District Health officers, Community leaders and Community Based Organizations to implement the POL intervention.
 
CDFU works closely with 36 Community Based Partner Organizations (CBPOs) in 17 districts.  The POLs sensitize their community and network members on HIV and AIDS, Malaria, Family Planning and Child Health. They also participate in district based health events and those of the CBPOs to which they are attached. Some of the POLs are members of the Village Health Teams in their localities.
