Volume 1 Executive Summary The ACP-EU (African, Caribbean and Pacifc Group of States, with support from the European Union) Development Minerals Programme, a pioneering three-year, multi-country initiative implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), seeks to build the profle and improve the management of Development Minerals. Development Minerals are minerals and materials that are mined, processed, manufactured and used domestically in industries such as construction, manufacturing, infrastructure and agriculture. Through capacity building of a diverse range of stakeholders in government, private sector and civil society, the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme aims to: (i) Enhance employment and incomes, including employment and incomes of women; (ii) Improve the policy and regulatory environment; (iii) Minimize environmental impacts on communities ; (iv) Address individual and community rights and preventing conflict; (v) Ensure decent working conditions and (vi) Facilitate South-South cooperation and cross-country learning. In order to support these aims and, in particular, country-level efforts of the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme in Uganda, Levin Sources has been contracted to undertake a comprehensive “Baseline Assessment and Value Chain Analysis of Development Minerals in Uganda”. With a particular emphasis on artisanal and small-scale (ASM) operators and related micro- and small-enterprises (MSEs), the study aims to provide a foundation for evidence-based policy and decision-making in Uganda by profling the economic signifcance, scope and potential of the sector, as well as fostering an understanding of the sector’s technical, legal, social, occupational and environmental challenges and opportunities. Approach and Methodology The study objectives were fulflled through collection, analysis and interpretation of primary and secondary data collected from a range of sector stakeholders across all steps of Development Minerals value chains from mine to fnal market. Primary data collection consisted of 42 site assessments in 22 districts, focus group discussions and interviews with 434 participants from Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) sites, 73 Points of Sale and 10 district governments as well as consultative meetings with central private and public-sector stakeholders. Existing secondary data has been used to supplement and where possible validate primary data. Whilst fgures presented are not statistically signifcant, they allow for a representative picture of the largely undocumented Development Minerals sector. Whilst there are many different kinds of Development Minerals, eight were chosen as focus minerals for the Baseline Study, and four of these eight were selected in consultation with the Country Working Group for more comprehensive market study and value chain analysis. The focus minerals in the baseline include: clay, stone aggregate, dimension stones, sand, limestone, salt, kaolin and gypsum, the frst four of which were chosen for the value chain analysis undertaken in a second phase of work. Results of the latter are presented in Volume 2 of this report “Market Study and Value Chain Analysis of Selected Development Minerals in Uganda.” 6 ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme. Implemented in Partnership with UNDP Development Minerals Context A land-locked country located in East Africa, the Republic of Uganda was one of the 15 fastest growing economies in the world from 1987-2010 with GDP growth averaging at 7% per year, declining signifcantly to 3.9% in Fiscal Year (FY) 2016/17. Although Uganda has made signifcant progress towards the millennium development goals, including by achieving the target of halving the number of people living in extreme poverty before 2015, many development challenges remain, including high school-dropout rates, high unemployment and 25% of Ugandans still living in extreme poverty. Against this backdrop, the Government of Uganda (GoU) has prioritized job creation and massive infrastructure improvements among the critical development priorities outlined within its Uganda Vision 2040. In a drive to stimulate economic growth, reduce business costs and support progress towards industrialization, the GoU aims to rehabilitate and construct 30,000km2 of roads, key bridges, and to build 1.6 million housing units by 2020. The GoU additionally recognizes that micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) constitute 90% of Uganda’s private sector and contribute 20% of the GDP. Through its current National Development Plan,

    Press Statement in Response to Human Rights Abuses Against Three Women Over the Weekend of 7 to 9 April, 2017

    Press Statement in response to human rights abuses against three women over the weekend of 7th to 9th April, 2017 The National Association of Women Organizations in Uganda-NAWOU responds with concern to a series of actions over the last three days by State and Non-State actors that have abused women’s human rights On Friday evening, Dr. Stella Nyanzi, an activist and Research Fellow at Makerere University was arrested by Police. Nyanzi has been using her social media platforms to advocate for pads for girls and to critique the Government for abuse and wastage of state resources, among other things. Her posts have been described in some quarters as lewd and obscene. And yet this same public voraciously reads tabloids that traffic in similar language without much protest, a double standard indeed! Nyanzi has been charged with cyber harassment and offensive communication. In a related incident, NTV news reporter, Gertrude Tumusiime Uwitware was kidnapped by unknown gun wielding actors on Saturday. Uwitware had previously received threats on Facebook after writing a blog post in support of Nyanzi’s activism. It was reported that she was threatened, beaten, driven around blindfolded for hours, and then dumped onto the streets. In another matter, a case of sexual harassment by a former employee of Aya Group against her former boss, Mohammed Hamid received notoriety but was overshadowed when State Minister for Labour, Employment and Industrial Relations, Herbert Kabafunzaki who was arbitrating it was arrested in a corruption sting operation. He was allegedly meeting in a hotel with the accused to receive a bribe to kill the case.

Abstract Water as it flows through a town is continuously affected and changed by social relations of power and vice-versa. In the course of its flow, it always benefits some, while depriving, or even in some cases harming others. The issues concerning distribution of water are closely intertwined with the distribution of risks, at the crux of which are questions related to how decisions related to water allocation and distribution are made.

Box 7852 Kampala, Uganda 2International Potato Centre, Regional Office, PO Box 22274, Kampala, Uganda 3The Regional Network for the Improvement of Potato and Sweet potato in East and Central Africa, PO Box 22274, Kampala, Uganda Abstract Sweetpotato (SP) small-scale farmers of Luweero and Mpigi districts were introduced to improved long-term storage methods (pit and clamp) as a way of improving their livelihood. Based on a participatory approach, farmers were involved in a storage study where dry matter, beta-carotene and sugar content parameters were monitored over a 60 day period in Mpigi and 75 days in Luweero district. Pit and clamp stores were constructed by farmers in selected sites of each district. Improved SP varieties (Ejumula, Naspot 1, Naspot 2, New Kawogo, Semanda and SPK004) were used for the storage study. Dry matter contents of SP were exceptionally high, particularly for roots from Mpigi district, with Semanda variety having the highest dry matter (41%). High beta-carotene concentrations were recorded for the orange-fleshed varieties, SPK004 and Ejumula, 68 and 125 mg/100 g, respectively. Total sugar contents of the roots were generally low (1.6-3.7 g/100 g), with exception of Naspot 2 (5.7 g/100 g).

    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA NEBBI DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT PRODUCTION AND MARKETING STATISTICAL ABSTRACT FOR FY 2011/2012 By Production Directorate Nebbi District Local Government July, 2012 Foreword The need for agricultural statistics cannot be overstated. It is vital for evidence-based planning and tracking of progress in the sector. Nebbi district production directorate has over the years been engaged in the collection of data at different levels in all the subsectors. However, the data was scattered within the individual departments and local governments and also lacking in some details. Because of this, the directorate undertook an effort to update and consolidate all the existing data/information and publish an Abstract. The information in this Abstract is derived from surveys conducted by the District Production Directorate, District Planning Unit, Records from sub counties, Censuses from UBOS and Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. The Abstract is divided into seven sections providing information/statistics on the following sectors; crops, livestock/veterinary services, fisheries, entomology (Apiculture), marketing and NAADS and General Information on Nebbi district. We sincerely hope that information in this Abstract will be useful to our stakeholders. Utmost care was taken to compile this information, however, comments from stakeholders on any gaps or vital information that is lacking will be welcomed.

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology KTH, Brinellvägen 23, SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden. 2. Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology, Makerere University, P.O Box 7062, Kampala, Uganda. 3. Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Royal Institute of Technology KTH, Teknikringen 42, SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden. Abstract The characteristics of Katwe salt lake are briefly discussed. The lake is the largest of the eight saline lakes in the Katwe-Kikorongo volcanic field and is a major source of salt production in Uganda. Today, salt production at the lake is carried out using traditional and artisanal mining methods. Attempts to mechanize the production of domestic and commercial grade salt at the lake were unsuccessful due to the use of a wrong technology. In this paper, the most common available technologies for salt extraction from brine are described. These are divided into four broad categories, namely thermal, membrane, chemical and hybrid processes. A review of the state of the art, previous research and developments in these technologies is presented. A detailed analysis of the processes used was done based on studies reported in the literature. From the analysis, it was observed that thermal salt production processes, especially distillation and solar evaporation have the highest share in installed capacities worldwide. Membrane technologies such as Electro-dialysis, Reverse Osmosis and chemical technologies have not found wide application in the commercial salt industry.
