General description of micro-programme activity (VPA) A.1. Title of the micro-scale VPA: GS1247 Improved Kitchen Regimes Multi-Country PoA GS2479 Otuke District Borehole Project 28/05/2015 Version 7 A.2. Description of the micro-scale VPA: The Micro-Scale Voluntary Project Activity 3 Otuke District is eligible under the Gold Standard methodology Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption Version 1. The project will support the provision of safe water using borehole technology to hundreds of households within the district. By providing safe water, the project will ensure that households consume less firewood during the process of water purification and as a result there shall be a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion process. Otuke is a largely rural area where local people typically use wood fuel on inefficient three stone fires to purify their drinking, cleaning and washing water. This process results in the release of greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of wood - this can be avoided if a technology that does not require fuel (wood or fossil) supplies clean water desired by households.

Box 7037, Kampala (U) Tel: +256-414-256533 Email:[email protected]; Website:http://molg.go.ug December 2018 Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) Statistical Abstract 2018 Statistical Abstract Ministry of Local Government December 2018 i Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) Statistical Abstract 2018 Districts of Uganda ii Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) Statistical Abstract 2018 Foreword Hon. Col. Tom Butime Minister of Local Government The Mandate of the Ministry of Local Government is to guide, harmonize, mentor and advocate for all Local Governments in support of Government’s vision of bringing about socio-economic transformation of the country. The Ministry is responsible for mentoring, compliance inspection and support supervision of Local Governments. In order to fulfil this mandate, quality statistics are required to measure development outcomes, identify development issues, inform policy formulation, and facilitate planning, decision making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the impact of development programmes in the LGs. It is on this basis that the Ministry of Local Government, with support from Uganda Bureau of Statistics, adopted a strategic approach towards managing data and statistics of the Ministry. This necessitated development and implementation of a five year Strategic Plan for Statistics (SPS) covering the period 2015/16 – 2019/20 to act as a building block for the Plan for National Statistical Development (PNSD) framework. The plan is aimed at enhancing data quality and use and comprehensiveness of statistics produced by the ministry. In line with the MoLG-SPS, the Ministry is required to produce an Annual Statistical abstract.The MoLG Statistical Abstract 2018 consolidates data relating to its various output indicators.
