Dioxins can occur as dibenzodioxins (PCDDs): by-products of incineration of chlorine-containing substances such as chlorine- containing plastics. Incineration: This is a waste treatment technology that involves combustion of organic materials and/or substances converting them into incinerator bottom ash, flue gases, and particulates. Flue gases may contain significant amounts of particulate matter, heavy metals, dioxins, furans, sulphur dioxide and hydrochloric acid. Flue gases should therefore be cleaned before they are dispersed in the atmosphere. Infectious waste: This is the portion of medical waste that can transmit disease. On average about 10-15 percent of medical waste is actually infectious waste. Infectious waste comprises five categories: cultures and stocks, human pathological waste, human blood and blood products and sharps. Hazardous waste: Shares the properties of a hazardous material (for example, ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity or toxicity), or other physical, chemical, or biological characteristics that may pose a potential risk to human health or the environment if improperly managed. Hospital waste: All solid waste, both biological and non-biological, that is produced at a hospital and is discarded without further use. Medical waste: Materials generated as a result of patient diagnosis and/or treatment or the immunization of human beings. Solid (non-hazardous) Generally include any garbage, refuse. Examples of such waste include domestic wastes: trash and garbage; inert construction / demolition materials; refuse, such as metal scrap and empty containers (except those previously used to contain hazardous materials which should, in principle, be managed as a hazardous waste). vi Contents Consultants .......................................................................................................................................................... iii Acronyms, units and definitions ......................................................................................................................... v List of tables ......................................................................................................................................................... xi List of figures ...................................................................................................................................................... xii List of photos ...................................................................................................................................................... xii Executive Summary ........................................................................................................................................... xiii 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................................................ 1 1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND ............................................................................................................. 1 1.2 OVERVIEW OF UGANDA’S HEALTH SECTOR ................................................................................ 1 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION ............................................................................................................................. 4 2.1 PROPONENT CONTACT .......................................................................................................................... 4 2.2 LOCATION OF PROJECT SITE................................................................................................................. 4 2.3 PROJECT OBJECTIVES ........................................................................................................................... 4 2.4 PROJECT COMPONENTS ........................................................................................................................ 5 2.4.1 Modifications of the Built Space ................................................................................................. 5 2.4.2 Equipment to be Installed .......................................................................................................... 7 2.4.3 Utilities/Resources Required ..................................................................................................... 7 2.5 PROJECT ALTERNATIVES ....................................................................................................................... 7 2.5.1 ‘No Project’ Scenario ........................................................................................................................... 7 2.5.2 Alternatives Considered ...................................................................................................................... 7 2.6 PROJECT CLASSIFICATION FOR ESIA PURPOSES .............................................................................. 8 2.6.1 Classification according to Uganda’s National Environment Act, Cap 153 .......................................... 8 2.6.2 Project Classification according to World Bank ................................................................................... 8 3 ESIA METHODOLOGY ................................................................................................................................. 9 3.1 INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................................................ 9 3.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BASELINE CONDITIONS ............ 9 3.3 CONSULTATION AND PROJECT DISCLOSURE ................................................................................... 10 3.4 REVIEW OF POLICY, REGULATIONS, INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK, INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES ....................................................................................................................................... 13 3.5 OVERVIEW OF THE FLOOD ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY ................................................................... 13 3.5.1 Return Period ...................................................................................................................................

Abstract Although Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) has dominated Uganda’s political scene for over three decades, the capital Kampala refuses to submit to the NRM’s grip. As opposition activism in the city has become increasingly explosive, the ruling elite has developed a widening range of strategies to try and win urban support and constrain opposition. In this paper, we subject the NRM’s strategies over the decade 2010-2020 to close scrutiny. We explore elite strategies pursued both from the ‘top down’, through legal and administrative manoeuvres and a ramping up of violent coercion, and from the ‘bottom up’, through attempts to build support among urban youth and infiltrate organisations in the urban informal transport sector. Although this evolving suite of strategies and tactics has met with some success in specific places and times, opposition has constantly resurfaced.

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.
