Of which from the central government source the district realised Shs 24,609,294,000 against an annual budget of Shs 35,920,332,000 being 68.5% budget performance. Most central government funds performed as planned at 75%, however there were some variances in the performance during the quarters because some grants performed below 75% e.g. Conditional transfers to Salary and Gratuity for LG elected Political Leaders, Conditional Grant for NAADS, Conditional transfers to Councillors allowances and Ex- Gratia for LLGs, Conditional Grant to Primary Education. Some development grants performed above 75% ie Conditional Grant to SFG, Conditional transfer for Rural Water, Conditional Grant to PHC – development, Construction of Secondary Schools, Roads Rehabilitation Grant, Local Development Page 2 Local Government Quarterly Performance Report Vote: 554 Tororo District 2014/15 Quarter 3 Summary: Overview of Revenues and Expenditures Grant because the Ministry released more funds than what had been planned for in the quarter. From the local revenue source the district had realised Shs 908,190,000 against an annual budget of Shs 1,715,124,000 being 53%. However there were some variances some sources performed more than planned ie Market/Gate Charges, Park Fees, Local Hotel Tax, Business licenses due to early procurement of service providers while Educational/Instruction related levies, Interest Income, Rent & Rates from other gov’t units performed, Business licenses, performed poorly due to high rate of defaulting by tax payers, inadequate supervision due to poor staffing in the department of finance and land management, lack of cooperation from some sub counties regarding data from revenue centres in their areas in form of submission of monthly revenue returns and reserve prices and defaulting by tenderers who continue to change names from one season to another making the tracking of defaulters difficult. From the donors the district had realised Shs 660,624,000 from donors against an annual budget of Shs 687,017,000 being 96% budget performance. However there were some variances most sources performed poorly than planned ie GAVI, IGAD, GLOBAL FUND, TAS0, USAID, IGAD. The reason for this poor performance by the donors had not yet been provided to the district by the end of the quarter while the district received additional funding from WHO for immunization activities, GLOBAL FUND, UNICEF the reason for the good performance. By the end of quarter three (Shs 26,088,484,000) – 99.6% of all funds received had been disbursed to the departments with Planning, Community based services, water, Roads, Production and Marketing, Health and Education realizing the highest budget outturn of (Shs 1,074,914,000) - 446%, (906,552,000)-73%, (Shs 735,847,000)-92%, (Shs 1,379,578,000) – 79%, (Shs 689,779,000)-52%, (Shs 4,356,238,000)-83%, and (Shs 13,128,440,000)-68% respectively while Internal Audit and Natural Resources realized the least with (Shs 51,488,000)-34% and (Shs 153,714,000)-21%, respectively. The reason for this variance being Production and marketing, Water, Education, and Roads are mainly funded by conditional grants which performed well compared to others which depend on locally generated revenue which performed fairly. For the case of Planning and Community the 2014 National Population and Housing Census and the Youth livelihood programe were responsible for the high budget outturn. Nine out of twelve departments had spent 95% and over of the funds they received during the quarter and by the end of the second quarter. The district had Shs 1,636,973,000 unspent with Water, Roads, Health, Production and Marketing departments having the biggest balances. The funds are majorly for construction works whose service providers had just been procured. Most contract agreements had been signed and works had to commence in quarter three.

    Larsson et al. Reproductive Health (2015) 12:58 DOI 10.1186/s12978-015-0049-0 RESEARCH Open Access The discourses on induced abortion in Ugandan daily newspapers: a discourse analysis Sofia Larsson1,5*, Miriam Eliasson1, Marie Klingberg Allvin2,3, Elisabeth Faxelid1, Lynn Atuyambe4 and Sara Fritzell1 Abstract Background: Ugandan law prohibits abortion under all circumstances except where there is a risk for the woman’s life. However, it has been estimated that over 250 000 illegal abortions are being performed in the country yearly. Many of these abortions are carried out under unsafe conditions, being one of the most common reasons behind the nearly 5000 maternal deaths per year in Uganda. Little research has been conducted in relation to societal views on abortion within the Ugandan society. This study aims to analyze the discourse on abortion as expressed in the two main daily Ugandan newspapers. Method: The conceptual content of 59 articles on abortion between years 2006–2012, from the two main daily English-speaking newspapers in Uganda, was studied using principles from critical discourse analysis. Results: A religious discourse and a human rights discourse, together with medical and legal sub discourses frame the subject of abortion in Uganda, with consequences for who is portrayed as a victim and who is to blame for abortions taking place. It shows the strong presence of the Catholic Church within the medial debate on abortion. The results also demonstrate the absence of medial statements related to abortion made by political stakeholders. Conclusions: The Catholic Church has a strong position within the Ugandan society and their stance on abortion tends to have great influence on the way other actors and their activities are presented within the media, as well as how stakeholders choose to convey their message, or choose not to publicly debate the issue in question at all.
