The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund sponsored a visit by Olaitan Soyannwo and two of her colleagues to Hospice Africa Uganda. The aim of this visit was to develop a strategy towards training of trainers within Nigeria in order to build palliative care capacity.

A one day palliative care workshop in Ibadan in January 2005 was co-sponsored by Help the Hospices, UK and the African Palliative Care Association (APCA).

Initial funding has been provided by Hospice Africa Uganda to develop home based care services by PCIN. This programme has not yet been established.
