The project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and focuses on preventing dog-mediated transmission and strengthening rabies control. Its work includes community engagement and education on dog-bite prevention, mass dog vaccination campaigns, rabies diagnostic testing, and integrated bite case management involving human and animal health services. The initiative also supports research and collaboration on dog population management and rabies strains in wildlife and domestic animals, including around Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Activities described on its website include vaccination campaigns in Soroti, community “Rabies Parties,” and training to build laboratory capacity for rabies diagnosis. eRabies shares publications and project findings on vaccination strategies, community perspectives, surveillance, dog population management, and intersectoral cooperation. By combining practical prevention, diagnostics, research, and collaboration, the organization aims to reduce rabies risk for people and animals across Uganda
