  • Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for Kampala City and Metropolitan Region
    Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for Kampala City and Metropolitan Region Final Report Shuaib Lwasa Makerere University February 2013 1 Executive Summary This report presets a greenhouse gas emission inventory that was conducted as a baseline for Kampala city and 2012 as the base year. The inventory was conducted using the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GPC). The GPC builds on previous protocols that include the International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis Protocol (ICLEI), Draft International Standard for Determining Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Cities (UNEP/UN-HABITAT/WB), GHG Protocol Standards (WRI/WBCSD), Baseline Emissions Inventory/Monitoring Emissions Inventory methodology (EC-CoM JRC), and Local Government Operations Protocol (ICLEI-USA). The baseline results are estimates of community-based emissions attributed to the 196 sq km of surface area of Kampala city and the city region that spans an area of 941.2 sq km. The population estimates of Kampala city at base year stand at 1.72 m and for the city-region 3.56 m adjusted from 2007 data. The total CO2e emissions stand at 313,320 tCO2e distributed as 53,178.5 tCO2e from stationary units, 26,407.3 tCO2e from mobile units, 203,771 tCO2e from wastes, 29,926.4 tCO2e from Industrial Processes and Product uses and 35.5 tCO2e from Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use. Using the adjusted population of the city, the percapita emission stands at 0.18216 tCO2e for in-boundary population and 0.08801 tCO2e for combined in-boundary and out-boundary population. Emissions are calculated based on activity data acquired from multiple sources and checked for minimization of overestimate and underestimate.

This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question.

  • Namuwongo: Key to Kampala’S Present and Future Development
    5/8/2017 Africa at LSE – Namuwongo: Key to Kampala’s Present and Future Development Namuwongo: Key to Kampala’s Present and Future Development Ahead of an exhibition celebrating the Kampala neighbourhood, Namuwongo, Joel Ongwec showcases the contribution this informal settlement and its inhabitants to Uganda’s capital city. Kampala is the largest city of Uganda with over 1.5 million residents. Its rapid population growth has put pressure on the municipality to deliver basic services as up to 60 per cent of the population are living in informal settlements (Mukwaya et al. 2010). Informal areas such as the centrally located Namuwongo have experienced protests over evictions and lack of urban services, including administrative problems that link into wider resource conflicts across the city (Kareem and Lwasa 2011). The need to undertake research to better understand these areas is pressing and a group of researchers including myself have spent time in Namuwongo to consider the issues of urban spaces like this and others across the capital. We sought to address this with research that concludes with an exhibition at the Uganda National Museum. Namuwongo is an informal settlement which separates two wealthier neighbourhoods of Bugolobi and Muyenga just outside the city centre. It spreads out along the main drainage channel (Nakivubo) that pours its water into Lake Victoria. The settlement has spilled over the railroad tracks as a result of people moving to the capital and currently has an estimated 15,000 inhabitants, several businesses, churches, and even large logistics warehouses. It is however a poorly understood neighborhood, but a vital one to the present and future of Kampala.
