The results of the initiative have since significantly enhanced the capacity of the local health facilities to management the Covid-19 and other pandemics.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;http:\/\/wheels4life.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CIDAR-Bike-Report-Feb-2023-Final.pdf&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Read Full Report&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In late 2022, CIDAR Uganda in collaboration with Wheels4Life Foundation started an initiative dubbed \u201cRiding Out of Deprivation in Uganda\u201d whose objective is to support poor and vulnerable people to escape deprivation and chronic poverty through access to bike transport services.
