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.

Recieved 30 March 2014 : Accepted 27 October 2014 ABSTRACT The Langmuir isotherms of 1-aminobutane in isohexane slurries showed increase in clay acidity with increase in concentration of mineral acid used to leach the clay as well as the temperature at which the clay was thermally activated prior to experimentation involving adsorption of 1-aminobutane. The values of acidity for Central Uganda were low ranging from 0.07 mol/g to 0.32 mol/g yet those for clays from Eastern Uganda were high ranging from 0.1mol/g to 1.85mol/g. Basing on acidity, pH, elemental and mineral compositions, the clays from Central Uganda were found to be kaolinites or halloysites yet Eastern Uganda clays were resolved to contain nontronite and kaolinite. Keywords: clay acidity ,Central Uganda ,Nontronite and kaolinite, Langmuir isotherms,1-aminobutane Eastern Uganda clays . INTRODUCTION Clays are collectively called alumino-silicates as they contain aluminium oxide and silicon dioxide as universal minerals; and are classified into phyllosilicates and layers silicates (Bailey and Brindley, 1979).

  • Case Study on Intermediate Means of Transport Bicycles and Rural Women in Uganda
    Sub–Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program The World Bank and Economic Commission for Africa SSATP Working Paper No 12 Case Study on Intermediate Means of Transport Bicycles and Rural Women in Uganda Christina Malmberg Calvo February 1994 Environmentally Sustainable Development Division Africa Region The World Bank Foreword One of the objectives of the Rural Travel and Transport Project (RTTP) is to recommend approaches for improving rural transport, including the adoption of intermediate transport technologies to facilitate goods movement and increase personal mobility. For this purpose, comprehensive village-level travel and transport surveys (VLTTS) and associated case studies have been carried out. The case studies focus on the role of intermediate means of transport (IMT) in improving mobility and the role of transport in women's daily lives. The present divisional working paper is the second in a series reporting on the VLTTS. The first working paper focussed on travel to meet domestic needs (for water, firewood, and food processing needs), and on the impact on women of the provision of such facilities as water supply, woodlots, fuel efficient stoves and grinding mills. The present case study documents the use of bicycles in eastern Uganda where they are a means of generating income for rural traders and for urban poor who work as bicycle taxi-riders. It also assesses women's priorities regarding interventions to improve mobility and access, and the potential for greater use of bicycles by rural women and for women's activities. The bicycle is the most common IMT in SSA, and it is used to improve the efficiency of productive tasks, and to serve as a link between farms and villages, nearby road networks, and market towns.

  • Situation Analysis of Healthcare Service Delivery Using Geographically Weighted Regression: (A Case Study of Sironko District, Eastern Uganda)
    South African Journal of Geomatics, Vol. 7. No. 1, AARSE 2017 Special Edition, January 2017 Situation Analysis of Healthcare Service Delivery using Geographically Weighted Regression: (A Case Study of Sironko District, Eastern Uganda) 1 2 3 Joel Kitutu , Lydia Mazzi Kayondo , Moses Musinguzi 1, 2 3Department of Geomatics and Land Management, School of the Built Environment, College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda, [email protected], +256785133103 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/sajg.v7i1.6 Abstract Geography plays an important role in planning and allocation of healthcare resources for an effective and efficient health system. Lack of statistical information analyzed using geostatistical tools then becomes a major bottleneck to proper planning and policy formulation in healthcare delivery. This study sought to compare existing health staffing, funding and medical supplies data given minimal national healthcare package, spatially explore the relationship between health service utilization and gaps in resource allocation, and to develop propositions to support the health policy. Facility survey and secondary data collection from the District Health Office and the Ministry of Health were utilized. Geographically Weighted Regression was used to spatially explore the relationships between Out-patient department attendance and gaps in health funding, staffing and stock-out days for essential drugs in health facilities. Global Moran’s I test was performed on the standard residuals to statistically test for their randomness. The analysis yielded local parameter estimates which were mapped to reveal the spatial variation of the relationships. There was strong influence of facility allocation gap in the North West diminishing towards South East, Strong negative influence of the staffing gap in the South West diminishing eastwards, and High influence of Stock- Out days in the South compared to the South West.

  • Opportunities and Challenges for District Land Boards in Uganda
    LAND MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT Opportunities and Challenges for District Land Boards in Uganda By Walter Akena and Eugene Gerald Ssemakula 1. INTRODUCTION This policy brief originates from the training for members of statutory boards and commissions in 34 district local governments in the country undertaken by ACODE between August and October 2020. The design of the training of the Local Government Public Accounts Committee (LGPAC), District Service Commission (DSC) and the District Land Board (DLB) was a response to a series of ACODE’s scorecard findings which revealed that statutory boards and commissions were not functioning efficiently and effectively and therefore affecting the general performance of local governments. The training unearthed several issues both impeding and facilitating the functioning of statutory boards and commissions. These finding from the training are the bedrock of this policy briefing paper with a particular focus on the District Land Board 2. BACKGROUND Land is the most basic resource in terms of the space it provides, the environmental resources it contains and supports, and the capital it represents and generates. It also influences the ACODE Policy Briefing Paper Series No.56, 2020 1 | Land Management and Governance in LGs: Opportunities and Challenges for District Land Boards spirituality and aesthetic values of all human societies. Land is perhaps the most essential pillar of human existence and national development and is usually a political issue with the potential to be volatile.1 The rate of urbanization and global demand for food is escalating, and so is the pressure on natural resources.2 To guarantee security for long-held land rights and facilitate land access and use, a well-designed land policy and governance structure are of utmost importance.
