Many outstanding and new concerns plague the project. The project developer, Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL), is seeking financial support from the World Bank Group (WBG), African Development Bank (AfDB), European Invest- ment Bank (EIB) and others. As part of the dialogue and campaign process on the Bujagali project, Uganda’s Na- tional Association of Professional Environmentalists (NAPE), with financial support from the Ford Foundation carried-out out a public consultative process to establish whether there were still outstanding issues and concerns regarding the Bujagali proj- ect. The consultative process involved meetings with the dam-affected communities, the private sector, the academia, the dam developer (BEL), Government of Uganda, Nation- al Environment Management Authority (NEMA), the World Bank, civil society, cultural institutions and other stakeholders to obtain views and facts on the Bujagali Project.

The source of funds to sustain the project has been entirely People Concerned Children’s Project. The school is already established but still lack many premises. However, the school has land which can be used to establish a fully-fledged compass. The school lacks several amenities and if many of these would be rectified, there is a very big likelihood that education standards in the Community and the area would improve greatly. The area is a heavily populated urban informal settlement place characterized by substandard housing and low standards of living. These communities are defined by high level of poverty, low income, inadequate living conditions and sub-standard facilities. Other characteristics are: • Inadequate access to safe water • Inadequate access to sanitation and other infrastructure • Poor structural quality of housing • Overcrowding It is essential that at least 60 percent of the urban population lives in slums of which Kikubamutwe located in Kabalagala is one of them.

  • The Least Cost Generation Plan 2016
    THE LEAST COST GENERATION PLAN 2016 – 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the Authority developed a 5 year Least Cost Generation Plan (LCGP) that covered the period 2013 to 2018. An update of the LCGP has been undertaken covering a 10 year period of 2016 to 2025. The update involved review of the load forecast in light of changed parameters, commissioning dates for committed projects, costs of generation plants, transmission and distribution system investment requirements. In the update of the plan, similar to the Power Sector Investment Plan, prepared by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, the ”Econometric Demand” forecasting method was used at distribution level to forecast Commercial, Medium Industry and Large Industry customer category demand. A bottom up approach was used for Domestic customer category using the end-user method. A Base Case, Low Case and High Case scenario were developed for sensitivity analysis. The resultant demand forecast was 6.5%, 3.6% and 12% growth rate in energy demand for the Base Case, Low Case and High Case scenarios respectively. This growth rate is lower than the projection in the 2013 LCGP of 10%, 5% and 14% for Base Case, Low Case and High Case respectively. A number of energy supply options were considered including Hydro, Peat, Solar PV, Bagasse Cogeneration, Wind and Natural Gas. The planned supply considered already existing, committed and candidate generation plants/projects with their estimated commissioning dates aligned. We note that more than 80% of the generation will come from hydro. 1 In the demand supply balance, Figure E1 shows the demand and supply balance over the planning period.

  • Effect of Selected Insecticide on Whitefly
    Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development journal homepage: http://aessweb.com/journal-detail.php?id=5005 Improving Rural Livelihood through NERICA Farming: An Inquiry into Najja Sub-county in Central Uganda Dan Makosa and Nagatada Takayanagi Department of Agricultural Economics, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Sakuragaoka, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan Abstract New Rice for Africa (NERICA) was introduced in Uganda to help rural farmers in improving their livelihood in terms of income and food security. Using the livelihood impact analysis technique, this study sought to assess the role of NERICA in improving rural livelihood by (i) understanding the production environment (ii) exploring the marketing opportunities and challenges and (iii) highlighting the changes in livelihood outcomes. The findings indicate that upland varieties are cultivated mainly in lowland areas and rural farmers prefer early maturity attribute to high productivity. Milling places also double as selling points where buyers and sellers meet. Selling milled rice fetches more profits than paddy. The most popular asset purchased from NERICA proceeds is land. The main challenges to production and marketing are inadequate extension service and high transport costs respectively. Keywords: NERICA farming, Uganda, rural livelihood, rice marketing, livelihood impact analysis Introduction1 service reforms aimed at improving the livelihood of people in terms of income, Like in the rest of the developing world, food security and socio-economic status Ugandan farmer‟s livelihood remains in a (MAAIF, 2005). Promotion of NERICA miserable state. Agriculture, a main source (New Rice for Africa), which was first of livelihood, is subsistence characterized by developed by African Rice Center, is one of use of rudimentary tools, poor quality seeds, the initiatives adopted in this context.

  • Assessing the Bujagali Hydropower Project in Uganda
    Modern Approaches in Oceanography and Petrochemical Sciences DOI: 10.32474/MAOPS.2019.02.000141 ISSN: 2637-6652 Research Article Assessing the Bujagali Hydropower Project in Uganda George Kimbowa1 and Khaldoon A Mourad2* 1Busitema University, Uganda 2Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund, Sweden *Corresponding author: Khaldoon A Mourad, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund, Sweden Received: January 21, 2019 Published: January 29, 2019 Abstract The development of great dams and hydropower plants increases power supply and access. However, the process is considered a threat to livelihoods, ecosystem and biodiversity because in most cases it brings about human displacement and natural resources degradation. This paper seeks to assess the development of the Bujagali Hydropower Plant in Uganda (BHP) and its compliance with IWRM principles based on water knowledges, societal values, and inter-disciplinary approach. The paper develops a set of strategic interventions for the dam and the BHP based on SWOT analysis, XLRM framework, Multi-sectoral and interdisciplinary development approach, and sustainable management. These measures are deemed socially and ecologically acceptable by all stakeholders including the cultural and historical institutions, societal actor groups, including mega-hydraulic bureaucracies, the private sectors and national politicians. The results show that project developers should always carry out Environment and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA); develop timely ‘Resettlement Action Plan’; carry out informed consultation and participation; promote transparency; and communicate project’s risks, potential impacts and probable mitigation actions to attain sustainability. The paper proposes some policy interventions to be implemented along the project’s lifetime. Furthermore, it presents a sustainable development plan for such projects based on the IWRM principles.

  • Bujagali Final Report
    INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL COMPLIANCE REVIEW REPORT ON THE BUJAGALI HYDROPOWER AND INTERCONNECTION PROJECTS June 20, 2008 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The IRM Compliance Review Panel could not have undertaken and completed this report without the generous assistance of many people in Uganda and at the African Development Bank. It wishes to express its appreciation to all of them for their cooperation and support during the compliance review of the Bujagali Hydropower and Interconnection projects. The Panel thanks the Requesters and the many individuals from civil society and the communities that it met in the Project areas and in Kampala for their assistance. It also appreciates the willingness of the representatives of the Government of Uganda and the projects’ sponsors to meet with the Panel and provide it with information during its visit to Uganda. The Panel acknowledges all the help provided by the Resident Representative of the African Development Bank in Uganda and his staff and the willing cooperation it has received from the Bank’s Management and staff in Tunis. The Panel appreciates the generous cooperation of the World Bank Inspection Panel which conducted its own review of the “UGANDA: Private Power Generation Project”. The Compliance Review Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel coordinated their field investigations of the Bujagali projects and shared consultants and technical information during this investigation in order to enhance the efficiency and cost effectiveness of each of their investigations. While this collaboration between the Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel worked to the mutual benefit of both parties, each Panel focused its compliance review on its own Bank’s policies and procedures and each Panel has made its own independent judgments about the compliance of its Management and staff with its Bank’s policies and procedures.

UCOBAC Urban Land Governance, Housing and Public Open Spaces The City We Need – Urban Thinkers Dialogues Urban Thinkers Dialogues In 2017 Uganda Community Based Association for Women and Children Welfare (UCOBAC) in partnership with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) organised five 1-2 day dialogues, engaging more than 600 participants in Kampala’s five divisions of Central, Kawempe, Makindye, Nakawa and Rubaga. The dialogues engaged multiple community representatives and discussed local experiences and problems around land, housing and public open spaces. This briefing summarises the findings and recommendations derived from these public dialogues. ------------------------------ Urban Thinkers’ Dialogues ------------------------------ 2 Key findings and recommendations Large-scale corruption remains a major obstacle for developing and providing land security, affordable housing and public open spaces (POS), especially for the urban poor. Effective, just and transparent urban land administration, affordable and adequate housing to all, and the provision of sufficient public open spaces must be recognised as crucial socio- economic factors in the development of Kampala city and Uganda’s economy.
