    Rakai Health Sciences Program (formerly Rakai Project) 1. Physical Geography Rakai District is one of the 56 administrative districts of Uganda and lies between longitudes 31oE and 32oE, and latitudes 0oS and 1oS. The district is located in the south-west of the country bordering the Republic of Tanzania in the south. The district has a total area of 4,973 Sq. Kms, with 3,889 sq. kms being land with a total population of 467,215. The Rakai Health Sciences program, was initiated as Rakai Project in 1988 to study the magnitude and dynamics of the HIV disease. It represents a collaboration between the Uganda Virus Research Inst. of Uganda’s Ministry of Health, researchers at Makerere University, Kampala, Columbia University, New York and Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. 2. Procedures The project conducts extensive community epidemiologic and behavioral studies to document the HIV/STD epidemics and risk factors, implements HIV/STD preventive services and undertakes large community randomized intervention trials for HIV prevention, STD control and prevention of adverse outcomes of pregnancy. The Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) conducted by the Rakai Health Sciences Program in Rakai District, provides a unique resource for hypothesis generating and hypothesis testing research on HIV and other infections (including TB, malaria, STDs, HPV) and on maternal and child health (including prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission and screening for cervical neoplasia). Using the RCCS as the basis for all activities, the Rakai Program has conducted major randomized HIV prevention trials, innovative operations research on prevention strategies; and has made fundamental contributions to knowledge of HIV transmission dynamics, viral molecular epidemiology (in preparation for HIV and HPV vaccine trials), novel findings regarding interactions between HIV and other co-infections (e.g., HSV-2, HHV-8, HCV, malaria, STDs and BV), and on the impact of HIV on fertility, family stability, marital violence and many other behavioral and demographic factors.

  • The Face of Chronic Poverty in Uganda As Seen by the Poor Themselves
    The Face of Chronic Poverty in Uganda as seen by the Poor Themselves Charles Lwanga-Ntalea and Kimberley McCleanb Chronic Poverty Research Centre – Uganda, and aDevelopment Research and Training, PO Box 1599, Kampala, Uganda and bMaK A Di Consulting, PO Box 636, Mona Vale, NSW 1660, Australia Abstract: This study examines the factors influencing chronic poverty in Uganda. The findings are based on participatory poverty assessments conducted in 23 peri-urban / urban and 57 rural sites in 21 districts. It examines definitions of chronic poverty, the types of people who are chronically poor and why; opportunities and constraints for moving out of poverty; the effects of government policies; and suggestions for improvements. Chronic poverty was described as a state of perpetual need” “due to a lack of the basic necessities” and the “means of production”; social support; and feelings of frustration and powerlessness. For many, it was inter-generationally transmitted and of long duration. Multiple compounding factors, such as attitude, access to productive resources, weather conditions, HIV/AIDS, physical infirmity and gender, worsened the severity of poverty. The major categories of the chronically poor included the disabled, widows, chronic poor married women, street kids and orphans, the elderly, the landless, casual labourers, refugees and the internally displaced and youth. Factors that maintain the poor in poverty included the lack of productive assets, exploitation and discrimination, lack of opportunities, low education and lack of skills, ignorance, weather, disability or illness, and disempowerment. For the chronically poor, GOU policies and practices - taxation, land tenure, market liberalisation, civil service reform and privatisation - were reported to maintain them in poverty.

  • Results from Civil Society Monitoring of Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention in Uganda
    TOO LITTLE TOO SLOW Results from civil society monitoring of male circumcision for HIV prevention in Uganda June 2012 Richard Hasunira, Sylvia Nakasi, Prima Kazoora, Marion Natukunda & Allen Kuteesa Global Advocacy for HIV Prevention A Foreword HE Ministry of Health launched the Safe Male Circumcision Policy toward the end of T2010. This was a whole four years since research found that medically performed male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection in men by an average of 60 percent. It was a long, long wait for a policy to take forward such a highly potent intervention in a country where hundreds of infections take place daily. And yet, the policy did not come with the much-needed urgency in implementation. As this report demonstrates, the roll-out of safe male circumcision (SMC) in Uganda has so far been driven by PEPFAR, and not the Ministry of Health and Government of Uganda as it should. The lack of Government leadership in the implementation of SMC – as has largely been the case with the national response to the HIV epidemic – is the reason we have an uninspiring mix of well-facilitated SMC initiatives with poorly resourced ones. The National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan (NSP) 2007/08-2011/12 recognises modelling results that revealed that the incidence rate of new HIV infections could be reduced by up to 40 percent with male circumcision as one of the HIV prevention interventions, compared with a decrease of 25 percent without male circumcision. Consequently, the National HIV and AIDS Prevention Strategy 2011-15 adopted “combination HIV prevention” as the strategy to reverse the country’s HIV incidence with SMC as part of the prevention package.
