National Population and Housing Census 2014 Bokora County Constituency– Napak District FOREWORD Demographic and socio-economic data are useful for planning and evidence-based decision making in any country. Such data are collected through Population Censuses, Demographic and Socio-economic Surveys, Civil Registration Systems and other Administrative sources. In Uganda, however, the Population and Housing Census remains the main source of demographic data, especially at the sub-national level. Population Census taking in Uganda dates back to 1911 and since then the country has undertaken five such Censuses. The most recent, the National Population and Housing Census 2014, was undertaken under the theme ‘Counting for Planning and Improved Service Delivery’. The enumeration for the 2014 Census was conducted in August/September 2014. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) worked closely with different Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as Local Governments (LGs) to undertake the census exercise.

  • Alcohol in Karamoja, Uganda: Observations and Remaining Questions
    Alcohol in Karamoja, Uganda: Observations and Remaining Questions A FEINSTEIN INTERNATIONAL CENTER BRIEF Elizabeth Stites This briefing paper presents findings from field work completed during early 2017 in the northern Karamoja districts of Abim, Kaabong, and Kotido. The field work was conducted by a team from the Feinstein International Center (FIC) at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, and was funded by Mercy Corps as part of the Growth, Health, and Governance (GHG) program supported by USAID’s Food for Peace (FFP) program. In addition, this briefing paper relies on background material and observations from multiple previous rounds of research conducted in Karamoja by the same FIC team in the period from 2004 to 2016, funded by Mercy Corps, the World Bank, Save the Children in Uganda, UNICEF, and the International Development Research Center (IDRC). The research team used qualitative methods (open-ended semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews) to collect data for this study. In early 2017, we interviewed approximately 150 people in 14 different villages (five in Kotido, five in Kaabong, and four in Abim). Questions to male and female respondents (in focus groups divided by age and gender) covered a number of topics relating to livelihoods, food security, access to markets, and health concerns. We did not focus exclusively on alcohol production, use or sale in any of the interviews; rather, questions on alcohol were embedded within broader discussions on these other topics. Key informants interviewed individually through open-ended semi-structured discussions included brewers, local councilors (LCI), and representatives of village savings and loans associations (VSLAs), mother care groups (MCGs), and water user committees (WUCs).

  • Uganda Humanitarian Update November
    UGANDA HUMANITARIAN UPDATE NOVEMBER – DECEMBER 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS An outbreak of yellow fever has been confirmed in northern Uganda; 189 cases with 48 deaths reported as of the end of December 2010 Over 300 households in Napak and Moroto districts have been affected by fire outbreaks Flooding and waterlogging destroyed more than 19,000 acres of crops in Pader in November 2010 II. SECURITY AND ACCESS SECURITY Cattle raids, road banditry and the on-going Government disarmament campaign dominated the security situation in Karamoja during the reporting period. Cattle raids persisted but at lower rates compared to the month of October, with Napak District worst affected followed by Moroto. Aggressive activity by illegally armed Karamojong also noticeably declined in November. Nevertheless, between 29 December 2010 and 2 January 2011, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) intensified cordon and search operations in Rengen and Kacheri sub-counties of Kotido District. The operations followed an incident on 26 December in Kaabong District during which some UPDF soldiers were reportedly killed during a clash with suspected Jie tribesmen in Sidok sub-county. The Jie and the Dodoth of Kaabong District were also reported to have carried out raids against the Pokot and Turkana of Kenya, while the Turkana along with the Matheniko of Moroto executed joint raids in Kotido. The cross-border raiding activities prompted the UPDF to issue an advisory to humanitarian organizations active in Kalapata and Loyoro sub-counties of Kaabong emphasizing the need for vigilance and prior consultation ahead of travel to these areas. In Moroto, a joint Police and UPDF operation in Moroto municipality recovered locally made weapons, including 60 bows and arrows, in Katamukono and Acholi Inn villages.
