Vice President Edward Ssekandi, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda, I was informed that there is a Budgeting Conference going on in Kampala. My campaign schedule does not permit me to attend that conference. I will, instead, put my views on paper regarding the next cycle of budgeting. As you know, I always emphasize prioritization in budgeting. Since 2006, when the Statistics House Conference by the Cabinet and the NRM Caucus agreed on prioritization, you have seen the impact. Using the Uganda Government money, since 2006, we have either partially or wholly funded the reconstruction, rehabilitation of the following roads: Matugga-Semuto-Kapeeka (41kms); Gayaza-Zirobwe (30km); Kabale-Kisoro-Bunagana/Kyanika (101 km); Fort Portal- Bundibugyo-Lamia (103km); Busega-Mityana (57km); Kampala –Kalerwe (1.5km); Kalerwe-Gayaza (13km); Bugiri- Malaba/Busia (82km); Kampala-Masaka-Mbarara (416km); Mbarara-Ntungamo-Katuna (124km); Gulu-Atiak (74km); Hoima-Kaiso-Tonya (92km); Jinja-Mukono (52km); Jinja- Kamuli (58km); Kawempe-Kafu (166km); Mbarara-Kikagati- Murongo Bridge (74km); Nyakahita-Kazo-Ibanda-Kamwenge (143km); Tororo-Mbale-Soroti (152km); Vurra-Arua-Koboko- Oraba (92km). 2 We are also, either planning or are in the process of constructing, re-constructing or rehabilitating -

Investments in key human development areas have reaped benefits in poverty reduction, and seen some improvements on a range of socio-economic indicators: but is everyone benefiting? Ugandan women and girls have partially benefited from these trends. New laws and measures to protect and promote women’s economic, political and human rights have been accompanied by impressive reductions in gender gaps in primary and secondary education and greater female political participation. Yet, wide gender gaps and inequalities remain, including in control of assets, employment and health. Economic development may have improved the status quo of women in Uganda, but full equality with men remains a distant reality. Tackling the discriminatory social norms that drive such gender inequalities and ensuring that women can equally benefit from Uganda’s development were twin objectives of this first in-depth country study of the OECD Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI). -

Coping with a Changing Forest Policy: Livelihoods in Mpigi District, Uganda
Coping with a changing forest policy: Livelihoods in Mpigi District, Uganda Evelyn Lwanga Namubiru June 2006 PLEASE DO NOT CITE OR REPRODUCE WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR A paper submitted to the 2006 International Association for the Study of Common Property Conference Survival of the Commons: Mounting Challenges and New Realities, June 19-23, 2006. Bali, Indonesia. Introduction and Background to the study In the past decade or so, international attention has focused on the plight of forests, resource degradation, declining biodiversity and the impact of decreasing forest resources on the lives of many people (FAO 2001; FAO 2005). Although this problem is global in nature, it is more serious in the world’s tropical forests. More forests were lost between 1981 and 1990 than is known to have been lost in any other decade in human history (FAO 1993). During this period, tropical forests alone were lost at a rate of 0.8 per cent (15.4 million ha) per year (World Resources Institute (WRI) 1994). One effort to address the deforestation problem has been the promotion of institutional changes within the forestry bureaucracies in order to make them more responsive to the needs of the local people and to the demands resulting from such phenomena as globalization and climate change (Larson 2002; World Bank 2000). Traditionally, the major strategy adopted by the third world countries was to withdraw these forests from the public domain into what were expected to be protective hands of the state and managed as government-owned forest reserves. As population pressure, the need for land and demand for wood and charcoal have increased in the last quarter century, this strategy has been tested and found wanting (Wily 1995).
