Through the CSP, WFP aimed to and strategic grain reserve systems. WFP worked with the Government and first maintain a robust emergency response capacity and support the Government in responders to prepare for and respond to emergencies. Following the outbreak hosting a growing number of refugees, addressing the root causes of food of Ebola in neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), WFP insecurity and malnutrition and improving the social protection system. collaborated with the Government to put in place robust preparedness measures to mitigate the risk of Ebola spreading to Uganda. Throughout the year, WFP supported 1.3 million refugees to meet their food and nutrition needs and promote self-reliance. WFP distributed high-energy biscuits for those arriving at borders; hot meals in transit and reception centres; cash or food transfers in settlements; and specialized nutritious foods to young children and pregnant and nursing mothers. Transparency and accountability remained high on the agenda. WFP rolled out new food assistance collection procedures in partnership with the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) on the back of a countrywide biometric re-verification exercise of all asylum-seekers and refugees. With the new procedures, refugees are verified with iris and fingerprint scans, and can collect their entitlements in a safe and dignified environment. To ensure assistance is distributed in a fair manner, WFP also shifted from group to household distribution. WFP publicized its toll-free helpline across all areas of operations to provide a comprehensive feedback mechanism. WFP also invested in evidence generation and learning, including in mobile Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (mVAM) and in robust food security and nutrition surveys, allowing the tracking of food security and nutrition outcomes and continuous programme improvement. WFP maintained its efforts in Karamoja region, which continues to have some of the highest rates of undernutrition in Uganda. To decrease acute malnutrition and stunting rates, WFP implemented treatment and prevention activities for 75,000 pregnant and nursing mothers and children. Programme performance indicators for treatment remained above SPHERE standards with average cure rates at 75 percent. WFP also distributed daily hot meals to 125,000 pupils in Karamoja, ensuring that children have nutritious meals in school, while supporting their cognitive development. Finally, for the first time, WFP was able to purchase commodities from Karamoja farmers' organizations. This resulted from long-term efforts to support smallholder farmers in improving agricultural practices and productivity. WFP continued to expand its robust capacity-strengthening engagement with the Government and other partners. WFP focused on modelling a social registry in Karamoja in line with the National Social Protection Policy. By the end of the year, the registration modelling exercise was completed with more than 900,000 people recorded. WFP also provided technical assistance through Uganda | Annual country report 2018 4 Beneficiaries by Residence Status Beneficiaries by Age Group 1,565,066 Children (6-23 Resident total beneficiaries months) in 2018 Children (5-18 Refugee years) 0 500,000 1,000,000 Children (24-59 months) 58% 42% Actual Planned female male Adults (18 years plus) 0 200,000 400,000 600,000 Actual Planned Annual CBT and Commodity Voucher Distribution (USD) Cash 0 10,000,000 20,000,000 30,000,000 40,000,000 50,000,000 Actual Planned Uganda | Annual country report 2018 5 100,000 80,000 Annual Food Distribution (mt) 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 Maize Maize Meal Rice Actual Sorghum/Millet Planned Corn Soya Blend High Energy Biscuits LNS Ready To Use Supplementary Food Ready To Use Therapeutic Food Micronutrient Powder Iodised Salt Uganda | Annual country report 2018 Sugar Vegetable Oil Beans Peas Split Lentils Split Peas 6 Context and Operations Uganda is a low-income country ranking 162 out of 189 on the Human Development Index. The fast-growing population is currently estimated at 39 million and is expected to reach 100 million by 2050.[1] Although Uganda achieved Millennium Development Goal 1 and significantly reduced hunger, the food security and nutrition situation is still considered as “serious”.[2] Ugandans consume 400 kcal less than they need each day. Stunting, underweight and wasting have declined in the past five years, but undernutrition rates remain high.[3] Persistent poverty continues to limit household access to adequate and nutritious foods, especially in Northern and Eastern regions. The adult HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15 to 49 years is 6.5 percent. Agriculture accounts for 25 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs 77 percent of the adult population. Production continues to play a critical role in enhancing food security in Uganda and other countries in the region. However, some areas suffer from insufficient food availability and seasonal price fluctuations. Smallholder productivity is low because of limited access to agricultural services, credit and reliance on traditional production methods. Additionally, more than 75 percent of women are employed in subsistence farming, but they own less than 30 percent of all registered land. While school enrolment increased from 2.5 million in 1997 to 8.7 million in 2014 [4], the quality of education services is marred by inadequate learning infrastructure, teacher absenteeism and lower dietary intake. Two in three school children in Uganda have no food to eat during the school day.[5] The unpredictable climate, low rainfall, poor infrastructure and inadequate access to social services in Karamoja continue to affect food security in the region. Although Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rates reduced from 14 percent in 2017 to 10 percent in 2018, the region continues to record the highest rates of undernutrition, maternal mortality and morbidity in the country. Only 57 percent of households in Karamoja had acceptable Food Consumption Score (FCS) in 2018.[6] Uganda is the third largest refugee hosting country in the world with 1.1 million refugees living in settlements. Uganda’s integrated refugee response has been named as a model for the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF). The model aims to empower refugees and host populations by promoting self-reliance, social cohesion and allows refugees the freedom of movement and work within the country. People fleeing civil war in South Sudan continued to seek refuge in Uganda, though the number of arrivals declined compared to 2017 and a small number of refugees returned spontaneously to South Sudan following the peace agreement. In neighbouring DRC, heightened inter-ethnic clashes and violence led to a surge in refugees arriving in Uganda in late 2017 and early 2018. Uganda | Annual country report 2018 7 WFP’s CSP is fully aligned with national policy objectives, including Uganda's Vision 2040 and National Development Plan II (NDP II). Through Vision 2040, the Government aims to achieve lower-middle-income status by 2032 and upper-middle-income status in 20 years. The NDP II envisages a competitive economy, gender equality, high employment and inclusive growth. WFP is working with the Government towards these objectives, including with OPM, the ministries of agriculture, health, education, gender, labour and social development, lands, housing and urban development, the National Planning Authority and district and city authorities. To support the Settlement Transformation Agenda (STA) under NDP II, WFP responded to emergency food needs of refugees, while supporting the development of livelihood opportunities for refugees and host communities. WFP provided emergency food and nutrition assistance to 1.3 million refugees while conducting preparatory work to inform the introduction of livelihood projects into refugee hosting districts. These included the roll out of the Three-pronged Approach (3PA), the commencement of Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE) activities, and the commissioning of key assessments, such as the Environmental Impact of Settling Refugees in Refugee Hosting Areas.

At that time, there were no minimum standards for the meaningful engagement of PLHIV, KVPs and CSOs and discussions with the U.S. government regarding Uganda’s COP would take place only in meetings at the U.S. Embassy. PLHIV, KVP and CSOs worked to ensure that the engagement processes became truly community- owned and community-led. They established a structured calendar, clear expectations of civil society and of PEPFAR Uganda, and a shared focus with PEPFAR Uganda on improving the accountability of the HIV response for communities and CSOs.

    UGANDA HUMANITARIAN UPDATE MAY – JUNE 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS AMID HEAVY RAINS, HUMANITARIAN ACCESS IN PARTS OF KARAMOJA AND TESO HAMPERED BY DETERIORATING ROAD CONDITIONS OVER 1,000 CHOLERA CASES REGISTERED IN KARAMOJA SINCE APRIL 2010 90% OF IDPS IN NORTHERN UGANDA NO LONGER LIVING IN CAMPS, BUT LAND CONFLICTS AND LANDMINES IMPEDING RETURN IN SOME AREAS II. SECURITY AND ACCESS SECURITY The general situation in Karamoja remained fragile, according to the United Nations Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS). Cattle raids, including on protected kraals, particularly affected Moroto and Kotido, with some resulting in fierce clashes between the Uganda People’s Defence Forces and the raiders. In South Karamoja incidents associated with food distributions involved theft of food and non-food items (NFIs), and attacks on food distributors as well as on food recipients. Following three road ambushes in Alerek sub-county of Abim District during the month, UNDSS issued an advisory limiting UN movement along the Abim-Kotido road to between 09.00Hrs and 16.00Hrs with effect from 28 June 2010. Three civilians were killed in one of those ambushes. In northern Uganda, Amuru District officials and partners carried out a joint assessment in the wake of a violent land dispute that occurred in Koli village of Pabbo sub-county on 23 June. Preliminary findings indicated that one person was killed and several others injured in the dispute involving two clans. Some 40 huts were torched and many members of either clan had fled the village. Also of concern in the region during the reporting period were raids by illegally armed Karamojong, particularly in Pader District.

  • Perceptions and Experiences of Access to Public Healthcare By
    Mulumba et al. International Journal for Equity in Health 2014, 13:76 http://www.equityhealthj.com/content/13/1/76 RESEARCH Open Access Perceptions and experiences of access to public healthcare by people with disabilities and older people in Uganda Moses Mulumba1*, Juliana Nantaba1, Claire E Brolan2, Ana Lorena Ruano3, Katie Brooker4 and Rachel Hammonds5 Abstract Introduction: In the year 2000, a set of eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were presented as a way to channel global efforts into the reduction of poverty and the promotion of social development. A global discussion regarding how to renew these goals is underway and it is in this context that the Goals and Governance for Global Health (Go4Health) research consortium conducted consultations with marginalized communities in Asia, Latin America, the Pacific and Africa as a way to include their voices in world’s new development agenda. The goal of this paper is to present the findings of the consultations carried out in Uganda with two groups within low-resource settings: older people and people living with disabilities. Methods: This qualitative study used focus group discussions and key informant interviews with older people in Uganda’s Kamwenge district, and with persons with disabilities from the Gulu region. Thematic analysis was performed and emerging categories and themes identified and presented in the findings. Findings: Our findings show that a sense of community marginalization is present within both older persons and persons living with disabilities. These groups report experiencing political sidelining, discrimination and inequitable access to health services. This is seen as the key reason for their poor health.

National Population and Housing Census 2014 Area Specific Profiles –Gulu 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. The 2014 Census provides several statistics on different aspects of the population.
