  • Characteristics of Macrophytes in the Lubigi Wetland in Uganda

Kayima and Aloyce W. Mayo* Department of Water Resources Engineering, University of Dar es Salaam, P. O. Box 35131, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Received 1 July, 2018; Accepted 16 August, 2018 The Lubigi wetland, which is located in the north-western part of Kampala, the capital city of Uganda has been severely strained from anthropogenic encroachment and activities. These activities include harvesting of Cyperus papyrus and other plants, land filling for reclamation, human settlements and disposal of wastewater into the wetland among others. As a result of these anthropogenic activities, the macrophytes diversity and biomass in the wetland have been affected, which in turn affects the effectiveness of wetland for removal of pollutants. It is therefore important to investigate the characteristics of wetland macrophytes in the Lubigi wetland. Pertinent field investigations, surveys, data collection and laboratory tests and analyses were carried out. The problem being addressed was the current lack of information and knowledge about the biomass and biodiversity of the Lubigi wetland to protect the downstream Mayanja River and Lake Kyoga. Three transects each of 1.0 m wide was cut across this zone at about 700 m downstream of the main wastewater inlet, the second at about 1,440 m downstream of the main wastewater inlet and the third at about 1,930 m downstream of the main wastewater inlet.

    East African Co-ordination Mee on Fanning in Tsetse Control Areas East Africa Grand Imperial Hotel, Kampala, Uganda 7th - 8th May 1998 Prepared by OM; IR P O Box 30786 Nairobi Opening Ceremony The meeting was officiated by the Hon. Minister of State for Agriculture, Animal Resources and Fisheries Dr. Israel Kibirige-Sebunya, representing the Vice President and Minister of Agriculture, Animal Industries and Fisheries, Dr. Speciosa Kazibwe. He welcomed all participants and underscored the importance of the meeting, whose objective was to improve rural development in the East African Region through livestock disease control. Beginning with the Kenyan delegation, the Minister invited heads of delegations to introduce members of their delegations. This was followed by a general introduction of participants and then a speech from the Head of the European Commission in Uganda. Speech by Head of the European Commission - Dr. B. Riland The EU Delegate, Dr. Riland thanked the chairman and said he was pleased to participate in the meeting. He indicated that because tsetse flies are a major threat to agricultural development in East Africa, national Governments with the assistance of donor institutions, have undertaken measures to reduce the incidence of human sleeping sickness and trypanosomiasis but with limited success. He mentioned that it is only through a regional and continental approach that the disease can be successfully brought under control. Dr. Riland announced that the budget for FITCA regional project, which is being coordinated by OAU/1BAR, has been approved by the EU for an amount of 20 million ECU; 15.1 million of which is from the regional indicative fund.

Introduction The present paper is part of a series of papers reflecting on lived experiences of rural communities in Uganda. This paper principally concerns the collected ma- terials regarding the tasks conducted by Kiyoshi Umeya, one of the co-authors, while working as a long-term dispatched expert of the Japan International Co- operation Agency (September 1999–February 2000). It is also part of the ‘Com- prehensive Study Concerning the Strategies for Poverty Eradication and Inte- grated Rural Development in Uganda’ project, which was jointly conducted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency and Makerere University with Ed- ward Kasujja Kirumira as the Makerere University Principal Investigator. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate through analysis how poverty (obwavu in Luganda) and other problems (ebizibu) are regarded and spoken of in the survey site (Kyegonza sub-county) selected by the team.
