Kennedy 6 Message from the Executive Director There are not enough words to express my joy and how fortunate I feel to have had the opportunity to work with all the stakeholders and most especially the student leaders, their respective school administrators and the US Embassy Kampala during the inaugural Camp Kennedy Project 2019. This project gave me the opportunity to interface individually with all of the participants and view the world through their eyes and consequently see how much skills void surrounds them and the thirst they have, to be more actively engaged citizens of their communities and our country. It gave me so much pleasure to help you understand that we have unlimited potential that we cannot exhaust in one lifetime and gave me insights into how to design programs that suit the needs of the young generation and its leaders; programs that support young leaders to beat all odds and hindrances that limit their active and meaningful participation in society and their contribution to our country. I am a proud woman and mentor because you restored in me hope in our country’s young people our interactions. I am particularly satisfied that we have set you on the right trajectory to being the leaders and most of all citizens that Uganda needs. Feminature Uganda is proud to know that you are more contributors as much as consumers of the hard work of this generation. You are indeed the future, and the future has arrived! Sincerely, Annet Lekuru Executive Director Feminature Uganda ‘Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country’ John F. Kennedy 7 Message from Board Chairperson My fellow countrymen and women, I am honoured to have had the opportunity to interact with you, they young people of this nation during the Camp Kennedy Project. You showed us that we are doing the right job and gave us every reason to continue doing so. We thank you! I urge you, not to sit on the knowledge and skills that you were equipped with during the training camps. Continue exploring and seeking more training opportunities; they are endless. Do not stop stretching your limits because you will not know how much more you are unless you test your limits. We will walk with you every step of the way. On behalf of Feminature Uganda, I extend our gratitude to the US Embassy Kampala for the technical, moral and financial support. We shall do well, to be deserving of the honour to work with you in making our communities better through sustainable initiatives such as this and more. To my staff at Feminature Uganda, you have lived up to our expectations of you; we the Board are proud of how much you have accomplished in so little a time and anticipate more transformative community projects and service. Let’s keep ‘Serving Humanity’ Sincerely, Olive Eyotaru Yemima Board Chairperson Feminature Uganda ‘Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country’ John F.

Kennedy 9 Introduction Camp Kennedy is a non-partisan project implemented by Feminature Uganda with funding from the Public Affairs Office of the US Mission in Uganda to increase the understanding and participation of at least 100 actively enrolled female and male student leaders aged 16 – 18, across the four administrative regions of Uganda. At least 25 students with demonstrated leadership traits and interest in public service were selected from each of the regions through a competitive and transparent process. The camp comprises three major components: the regional training workshops, debates and implementation of community civic activity. During Camp Kennedy, the successful applicants will be equipped with knowledge and skills to be responsible for their governance and democratic processes so as to enhance their civic responsiveness and participation in the affairs of their community and country as a whole, using the legacy and call to citizen participation by President John F. Kennedy. The students will be required to put the skills acquired and knowledge shared into a community civic engagement activity within their local communities. This provided the dimension of President John. F. Kennedy’s call for citizens to take political and social action in a Ugandan perspective, to increase citizen ownership and participation in the governance of Uganda and in fulfilment of part of the development initiatives.

  • Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko
    Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko Municipal Council Empowering Refugee Hosting Districts in Uganda: Making the Nexus Work II2 Empowering Refugee Hosting Districts in Uganda: Making the Nexus Work Foreword This report ‘Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko Municipal Council’ comes in a time when local governments in Uganda are grappling with the effects of refugees who have moved and settled in urban areas. As a country we have been very welcoming to our brothers and sisters who have been seeking refuge and we are proud to say that we have been able to assist the ones in need. Nonetheless, we cannot deny that refugees have been moving out of the gazetted settlements and into the urban areas, which has translated into increasing demands on the limited social amenities and compromises the quality of life for both refugees and host communities, this whilst the number of self-settled refugees continues to grow. This report aims to address the effects the presence self-settled refugees have on urban areas and the shortfalls local governments face in critical service delivery areas like education, health, water, livelihoods and the protection of self-settled refugees if not properly catered for. So far, it has been difficult for the local governments to substantiate such cases in the absence of reliable data. We are therefore very pleased to finally have a reference document, which addresses the unnoticed and yet enormous challenges faced by urban authorities hosting refugees, such as Koboko Municipal Council. This document provides us with more accurate and reliable data, which will better inform our planning, and enhances our capacity to deliver more inclusive services.

    CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA:: 7(3) 180-198 UMU Press 2009 CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA: EX-POST EVALUATION OF A PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTED BY DOCTORS WITH AFRICA CUAMM Maria-Pia Waelkens#, Everd Maniple and Stella Regina Nakiwala, Faculty of Health Sciences, Uganda Martyrs University, P.O. Box 5498 Kampala, Uganda. #Corresponding author e-mail addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Disability is a common occurrence in many countries and a subject of much discussion and lobby. People with disability (PWD) are frequently segregated in society and by-passed for many opportunities. Stigma hinders their potential contribution to society. Doctors with Africa CUAMM, an Italian NGO, started a project to improve the life of PWD in the West Nile region in north- western Uganda in 2003. An orthopaedic workshop, a physiotherapy unit and a community-based rehabilitation programme were set up as part of the project. This ex-post evaluation found that the project made an important contribution to the life of the PWD through its activities, which were handed over to the local referral hospital for continuation after three years. The services have been maintained and their utilisation has been expanded through a network of outreach clinics. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) workers mobilise the community for disability assessment and supplement the output of qualified health workers in service delivery. However, the quality of care during clinics is still poor on account of large numbers. In the face of the departure of the international NGO, a new local NGO has been formed by stakeholders to take over some functions previously done by the international NGO, such as advocacy and resource mobilisation.

  • South Sudanese Refugee Project Gulu, Kampala & Arua, Uganda
    South Sudanese Refugee Project Gulu, Kampala & Arua, Uganda University of Maine Tessa Lilley, Ana Eliza Souza Cunha, Camilla Horton, Emma Paradie, Emma Freeman, Ellie Damuck and Taylor Delp; United States of America. University of Maine partnersforworldhealth.org Section I. The goals of this project were to provide clinical education and medical resources to the South Sudanese currently seeking refuge in Uganda. These goals were executed by providing primary care and prenatal education to pregnant women, and supplying the refugee camp health clinics with medical supplies. The South Sudanese Refugee Project was funded solely by the Davis Foundation’s Project for Peace program. Partners for World Health, University of Maine Chapter is a group of students from the University of Maine partnering with the non-profit organization Partners for World Health in Portland, Maine. Last year, Partners for World Health became aware of the scarcity of medical aide in the Imvepi Refugee Camp located in Northern Uganda. There is a massive influx of refugees fleeing their homeland due to civil conflict, and now the resources of the Imvepi Refugee Camp are being stretched to the limits. After hearing how desperate the settlement was in need of medical supplies, Partners for World Health pledged to provide supplies and educational assistance. The influx of refugees come from political discrepancies which sparked the ongoing violent civil war in South Sudan. There are now approximately 2.4 million refugees that have fled and are now seeking asylum in Uganda. Uganda’s generous refugee policies has allowed over 800,000 South Sudanese; and therefore, the sheer number of people needing medical attention is overwhelming the resources.

  • Catholic Missionaries and One Hundred Years of Formal Education in North-Western Uganda, 1912 to 2012
    Journal of Education Research and Behavioral Sciences Vol. 2(9), pp. 143-153, September, 2013 Available online at http://www.apexjournal.org ISSN 2315-8735 © 2013 Apex Journal International Full Length Research Paper Catholic missionaries and one hundred years of formal education in North-western Uganda, 1912 TO 2012 Charles Amone 1* and Rose Lima Indeanyiya 2 1Department of History, Gulu University, Uganda. 2Yumbe District, North-western Uganda. Accepted 27 August, 2013 The research analyzed the role of Catholic Missionaries in the promotion of formal education in North- western Uganda, a region popularly known as West Nile. Primary data was collected by means of questionnaires, observations and interviewing methods. The data was then entered in the computer for sorting, editing, coding and presentation in form of tables to show the frequencies and the study attributes.The research found out that, indeed, Catholic Missionaries have greatly contributed to the development of formal education in West Nile. It was also realized that their syllabus was biased on religion and their education system has caused hatred amongst the people of West Nile which is existent up to today. For instance, Catholic Seminaries only admit students of Catholic background hence causing divisionism in the education system in the region. Therefore, in order to alleviate the situation, it was recommended that the Ministry of Education and Sports should encourage inter-school educational visit programs through the District Education Committees. School heads should organize conferences, seminars and workshops not only to encourage unity amongst the schools but also to improve on the performance of students in the region.
