  • Bigwala Mus Ic and Dance of the Bas Oga People
    BIGWALA MUSIC AND DANCE OF THE BASOGA PEOPLE written by James Isabirye 2012 Background The Basoga are Bantu speaking people who live in southeastern Uganda. They are neighbors to the Baganda, Bagwere, Basamia, Banyoli and Banyoro people. The Basoga are primarily subsistence agricultural people. "Bigwala” is a Lusoga language term that refers to a set of five or more monotone gourd trumpets of different sizes. The music of the trumpets and the dance performed to that music are both called “Bigwala”. Five drums accompany “Bigwala” music and they include a big drum “Engoma e ne ne ”, a long drum “Omugaabe,” short drum “Endyanga”, a medium size drum “Mbidimbidi” and a small drum “Enduumi ” each of which plays a specific role in the set. Bigwala heritage is of significant palace / royal importance because of its ritualistic role during burial of kings, coronations and their anniversaries and stands as one of the main symbols of Busoga kingship. When King Henry Wako M uloki passed away on 1st September 2008, the "Bigwala" players were invited to Nakabango palace and Kaliro burial ground to perform their funeral function. 1 During the coronation of late king Henry Wako Muloki on 11th February 1995; the Bigwala players performed their ritual roles. It is important to note that Busoga kingdom like all others had been abolished in 1966 by the Ugandan republic government of Obote I and all aspects its existence were jeopardised including the Bigwala. The Kingship is the only main uniting identity which represents the Basoga, offers them opportunity to exist in a value system, focuses their initiatives to deal with development issues with in the framework of their ethnic society and connects them to their cherished past.

  • Adoption of Conservation Agriculture in Uganda: a Case Study of the Lango Subregion
    sustainability Article Adoption of Conservation Agriculture in Uganda: A Case Study of the Lango Subregion Sara Kaweesa 1,* , Saidi Mkomwa 2 and Willibald Loiskandl 3 1 Centre for Development Research, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Peter-Jordan-Strasse 76, 1190 Vienna, Austria 2 African Conservation Tillage Network (ACT), P.O. Box 10375, Nairobi 00100, Kenya; [email protected] 3 Institute of Hydraulics and Rural Water Management, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Muthgasse 18, 1190 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +43-676-43-808-26 Received: 8 August 2018; Accepted: 18 September 2018; Published: 20 September 2018 Abstract: Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on three principles: minimum soil disturbance, maintaining a soil cover through mulching with crop residues or planting cover crops, and practicing crop rotations. CA is practiced in many parts of the world for its benefits to soil and ability to improve yields, among others. There is little documented information on the status of CA adoption in the Lango region in mid-Northern Uganda. This study aimed at determining the extent of CA adoption in relation to the socioeconomic status of the farming population and suggesting relevant strategies for accelerating CA uptake specific to this region. A non-discriminative snowball-sampling technique was used to gather data from 417 households spread over three districts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using household questionnaires. Farmers’ uptake of CA was related to information gained from training and the benefits that were observed in their fields. Some farm-level constraints in the region included the diminutive ratio of shared tools and equipment; the minimum presence and involvement of extension services; and seasonal rural markets that are dominated by middlemen.

    Request for Expression of Interests (Consulting Services) FOR ECONOMIC AND SECTOR WORK ON AGRICULTURAL VALUE CHAIN STUDY IN UGANDA Agriculture sector in Uganda is a key sector and also will remain the main economic base of the country. As a result, future rate of poverty reduction, overall economic growth, social development and political stability of the country will depend on the growth trajectory of the sector. The President of Uganda, His Excellency, Yoweri Museveni, has recently called for the transformation of Agriculture in Uganda from subsistence to a commercial oriented sector. The end result of agricultural transformation in Uganda are millions of would be thriving small-, medium, and large-scale agribusinesses in every segment of agricultural value chains. In order to better understand the growth potentials and constraints of the agriculture sector and optimize its intervention in the sector, the Bank aims to conduct agricultural value chain study. The main tasks of the study are to prioritize, select and conduct a detailed value chains analysis of priority agricultural commodities. The findings of the study will serve as a guide to design the Ugandan Agricultural Transformation Agenda (UATA), investment direction of the Bank and other development partners. Promoting agriculture and agro-industry/business is recognized as one of the most effective ways to drive inclusive growth and reduce poverty. The African Development Bank (AfDB) is launching study that will inform the development of competitive regional and global value chains with the potential for advancing Uganda’s economic prosperity, increasing food security, job creation and poverty reduction. The study will also inform the Bank’s public sector operations towards creation of an enabling environment especially relating to land tenure policies and laws, financial inclusion efforts, and Private Public Partnerships in physical infrastructure development.

  • Agro Industrialisation in Uganda
    Working paper Agro­ industrialisation in Uganda Current status, future prospects and possible solutions to pressing challenges Martin Fowler Jakob Rauschendorfer November 2019 When citing this paper, please use the title and the following reference number: F-IH-UGA-006-1 Agro-industrialisation in Uganda: Current status, future prospects and possible solutions to pressing challenges Martin Fowler and Jakob Rauschendorfer1 “Commercializing agriculture has the greatest potential for increasing household productivity and incomes, while addressing unemployment in the rural communities (...) the approach will nurture agro- based industries across the country, employing labour that will have been released from primary agriculture”. - Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, 2019. 1. Introduction This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive review of agro-industrialisation in Uganda with a focus on assessing the feasibility of the national plans to harness agro-industrialisation for inclusive growth. Interest in the topic has grown in the recent past due to a number of factors, possibly the most important one being a study published in 2018 by the Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC), an influential Ugandan research institute. The report, entitled Fostering a Sustainable Agro- Industrialisation Agenda in Uganda, highlighted the enormous and unrecognised potential of adding value to the country’s significant agricultural output as a means of reducing poverty and transforming the Ugandan economy. Arguably, agriculture is already Uganda’s key economic sector, providing the livelihood for the majority of the population and is the basis for the bulk of manufacturing output. Because of this, industrial development based on the agricultural sector is being promoted as a means to reinforce current efforts to reduce poverty and to bring about inclusive growth through employment creation across all income groups and parts of the country2.

  • Aid in Uganda: Agriculture
    by Hai Mettrick 2US Od Overseas Development Institute a Aid in Uganda—Agriculture The crucial nature of agriculture's role in economic development is being recognised more and more. But how can agricultural development be stimulated ? What part can overseas aid donors play ? These problems are considered in the context of a specific country in Aid in Uganda—Agriculture. This study analyses the difficulties facing the Uganda Government in developing agriculture and how it is dealing with them. It then goes on to consider the various programmes of aid to agriculture in Uganda, and discusses how these can be made more effective. Issues which are high­ lighted are the importance of technical assistance, and the need for donors to provide more capital aid for local and recurrent costs if they are to assist agricultural development. This study is the final part of ODI's three-part case study of aid in Uganda. The previous volumes are Aid in Uganda—Programmes and Policies by Ralph Clark, and Aid in Uganda—Education by Peter Williams.
