An Overview of the Sociolinguistic Situation of Kupsapiny, a Southern Nilotic Language of Uganda
African Study Monographs, 31(3): 127-137, October 2010 127 AN OVERVIEW OF THE SOCIOLINGUISTIC SITUATION OF KUPSAPINY, A SOUTHERN NILOTIC LANGUAGE OF UGANDA Kazuhiro KAWACHI Department of Foreign Languages, School of Liberal Arts and General Education, National Defense Academy of Japan ABSTRACT This study reports on the sociolinguistic situation of Kupsapiny, the Southern Nilotic language spoken by the Sebei people in the Sebei region of Uganda. Even though the Sebei are highly conservative in various respects, Kupsapiny has been losing its vitality. Primarily because the history of the people has been adverse to the maintenance of their language, it has undergone considerable change under the infl uence of English, Swahili, and Lugisu (Bantu). In order to revitalize Kupsapiny, its use in schools, which is currently limited to grade one through grade four in public schools, should be extended through primary education at least. Prior to this, however, the language needs to develop a written system. Key Words: Kupsapiny (Sebei, Sapiny); Southern Nilotic; Uganda; Language revitalization; Community profi le. INTRODUCTION The objectives of this study are (i) to write a community profi le of the Sebei region of Uganda, where Kupsapiny (Southern Nilotic) is spoken, (ii) to report on the diminishing vitality of this language, and (iii) to point out possible ways to revitalize this language.(1) This study is based primarily on interviews I conducted with native speakers of the language during my fi eldwork in Kapchorwa from July 11 through August 1, 2009 and from July 30 through August 27, 2010. PREVIOUS STUDIES Kupsapiny belongs to the Elgon group in the Kalenjin branch of the Southern Nilotic language family. -

Building Resilience in Uganda's Watersheds
Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) Project Title: Strengthening the Adaptive Capacity and Resilience of Communities in Uganda's watersheds - Awoja Catchment (SACRiAC) Country(ies): Uganda GEF Project ID: 10203 GEF Agency(ies): AfDB GEF Agency Project ID: Project Executing Entity(s): Ministry of Water and Submission Date: Environment GEF Focal Area (s): Climate Change Expected Implementation Start Expected Completion Date Name of Parent Program [if applicable] Parent Program ID: Summary The Government of the Republic of Uganda has received financing from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for the development of the “Strengthening the Adaptive Capacity and Resilience of Communities in Uganda's watersheds” project. The project aims to strengthen resilience of approximately half a million vulnerable people to the impacts of climate change, through adaptation technology transfer (strategic objective 1) and climate mainstreaming (strategic objective 2). This project has four components, namely: 1) Climate resilient infrastructure implemented for enhanced livelihoods, 2) Strengthened capacity of communities and institutions for climate resilient planning in four watersheds, 3) Climate information integrated into development plans & early warning systems, and 4) Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) and Adaptation Learning. The project will be implemented in the sub-catchments of Komirya, Sironko, Simu-sisi, Muyembe and Sipi (in the districts of Bukedea, Sironko, Bulambuli and Kapchorwa) within the Awoja catchment. The purpose of this ESMF is to set out a unified process for assessing and managing all environmental and social safeguard issues for subprojects from preparation, through appraisal and approval, to implementation. The ESMF gives information on how to address adverse environmental and social impacts of components of the project and will be applied in sub-projects. -

The Case of Forests in Mpigi District of Uganda
Local Governance and Forest Conditions: The Case of Forests in Mpigi District of Uganda: by Abwoli Y. Banana1, Nathan D. Vogt2,3, William Gombya-Ssembajjwe1, and Joseph Bahati1 1Faculty of Forestry and Nature Conservation, Makerere University, P.O. Box 7062, Kampala, UGANDA 2School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA), Bloomington, Indiana, 47405 USA 3Center for the Study of Institutions, Populations, and Environmental Change (CIPEC), Bloomington, Indiana, 47405 USA Send correspondence to: Abwoli Y. Banana (E-mail: [email protected]) April, 2004 Local Governance and Forest Conditions: The Case of Forests in Mpigi District of Uganda Introduction Uganda, with a total population of 26 million people has 4.9 million hectares of natural forests and woodlands, which cover 24% of the land area (MLWE 2002). In terms of land ownership, the government holds in trust for the citizens of Uganda only 30% of the forestland. This include 15% of the land managed by the newly established National Forest Authority as Central Government Forest reserves and 15% managed as National Parks by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). Local, private and customary forests make up 70% of all forests and woodlands in Uganda. Thoughts of decentralizing the Uganda forest sector to better provide for local needs are not new. There has been frequent “migration” of authority over forest resources in Uganda between the local and the central government since the 1940s. The forest policy in the late 1940s devolved power of management of local forest reserves from the protectorate government to local governments. The 1967 republican constitution abolished all kingdoms in Uganda. -
