This is the first occasion since the establi&hment of the Department in 1925 that expenditure has exceeded revenue, but it must be realised that from 1933 onwards the Fisheries Section of the Departm.ent, which is non-revenue producing, has been steadily expanding. In 1949 the cost of the Fisheries' staff of three European officers, clerks and 44 fish guards, and their relevant activities, has deprived the Department of showing the customary excess of revenue over expenditure. This revenue is derived from the sale of Game and Special licences and from the proceeds of the sales of ivory, rhinoceros horns, and hippopotamus teeth. 5. At the two ivory auctions, held at Mombasa, the. average'price realised per lb. was Shs. 13/54 and Shs. 11/67 compared with Shs. 16/05 and Shs. 14175 in 1948;"a sharp drop in prices respectively of 15t per cent. and 21 per cent.

  • Beyond Categories: Power, Recognition and the Conditions for Equity

    Beyond Categories: Power, Recognition and the Conditions for Equity

    BEYOND CATEGORIES: POWER, RECOGNITION AND THE CONDITIONS FOR EQUITY Background Paper for the World Development Report 2006 DISCUSSION DRAFT. NOT TO BE DISTRIBUTED, CITED OR REPRODUCED. Joy M. Moncrieffe Overseas Development Institute, London December 2004 1 Introduction The World Development Report (WDR) 2006 will reflect some important shifts in popular thinking about the relationship between inequality, growth and poverty. First, it will refute the Kuznetsian position that inequality has an invariably positive role and will, instead, assert that high levels of inequality can curtail the potential poverty-reducing impact of growth; conversely, where there is low or falling inequality, lower income groups will have a larger share of any increase in national income (Naschold 2002). Second, following Sen (1993; 1999) and others, the WDR will stress the importance of equity, arguing that poverty reflects deprivation in income and consumption, as well as in capabilities, such as health, education and civil liberties. It will maintain that individuals have differing levels of advantage, which, in addition to income, could be understood as their capability and freedom to make choices, and to convert their incomes into well-being—by establishing personal goals and having realistic means of attaining them. Therefore, it will attempt to define those policies and institutional arrangements that will supply the assets— political, social and economic—and opportunities that people in poverty need to transform their lives. Third, the report will draw on the ‘horizontal inequality’ thesis and, as Frances Stewart (2002) encourages, will expand its focus beyond individual preferences. Accordingly, the report will analyze how poverty and inequality affect different categories of people, recog- nizing that disparities—perceived and real—are among the fundamental causes of conflict, which often culminates in low growth.

    Linking the Origin, Ethnic Identity and Settlement of the Nubis in Uganda

    Vol. 11(3), pp. 26-34, March 2019 DOI: 10.5897/AJHC2019.0428 Article Number: 3410C7860468 ISSN 2141-6672 Copyright ©2019 Author(s) retain the copyright of this article African Journal of History and Culture http://www.academicjournals.org/AJHC Full Length Research Paper ‘‘We Did Not Come as Mercenaries…!’: Linking the Origin, Ethnic Identity and Settlement of the Nubis in Uganda Abudul Mahajubu*, Balunywa M. and Musisi F. Faculty of Education, Department of Oral Documentation and Research, Muteesa I Royal University, Kampala, Uganda. Received 30 January, 2019; Accepted 25 February, 2019 Focusing on the period 1894 to 1995 and drawing on both written and oral sources, this article explores the origin, ethnic identity and settlement of the Nubians since their advent in Uganda. Ugandan Nubians abandoned some aspects of their former African traditional customs and adopted new ones borrowed from the Arabic culture, constituting a unique and distinct ethnic group. Using a historical research design and adopting a qualitative approach, the article articulates the fluidity and formation of the Nubian ethnic identity on one hand, and the strategies that the Nubians have used to define and sustain themselves as a distinct ethnic group in Uganda. The article therefore suggests that the question of the Nubian identity in Uganda, through tracing their origin, ethnic identity and settlement since their advent, goes beyond the primordial understanding of ethnicity that tags ancestral location or settlement pattern, language, family history to a particular group claiming itself ethnic. Key words: Ethnicity, Nubians, Nubis, origin, identity, settlement. INTRODUCTION Who are the Uganda Nubians? What historical and the Uganda Nubis as they are conventionally known connection do they have with the Nubians of Southern as the Nubis.

    National Development Plan (2010/11 - 2014/15)

    NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2010/11 - 2014/15) VISION: A TRANSFORMED UGANDAN SOCIETY FROM A PEASANT TO A MODERN AND PROSPEROUS COUNTRY WITHIN 30 YEARS THEME: GROWTH, EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION FOR PROSPERITY April 2010 FOREWORD The Ugandan economy experienced varying growth rates when the Poverty Eradication Action Plan was being implemented, with an average GDP growth rate of 7.2 per cent between 1997/98 and 2000/01, to 6.8 per cent between 2000/01 and 2003/04, increasing to 8 per cent over the period 2004/05 to 2007/08. Based on economic forecasts, GDP growth rate over the National Development Plan (NDP) period is projected at an average of 7.2 per cent per annum. At this GDP growth rate, nominal per capita income is projected to increase from USD 506 in 2008/09 to about USD 850 by 2014/15. During the same period, the proportion of people living below the poverty line is expected to decline from the level of 31 per cent in 2005/06 to about 24.5 per cent in 2014/2015, above the MDG target of 28 per cent. The NDP also addresses structural bottlenecks in the economy in order to accelerate socioeconomic transformation for prosperity. The NDP interventions aim at creating employment, raising average per capita income levels, improving the labour force distribution in line with sectoral GDP shares, raising country human development and gender equality indicators, and improving the country’s competitiveness to levels associated with middle income countries. This requires the sustained orientation of Government expenditures and implementation capacity towards removal of the most binding constraints to the faster socio-economic transformation.

    Buganda Relations in 19Th and 20Th Centuries

    Bunyoro-Kitara/ Buganda relations in 19th and 20th Centuries. By Henry Ford Miirima Veteran journalist Press Secretary of the Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara The source of sour relations. In order to understand the relations between Bunyoro-Kitara and Buganda kingdoms in the 19th and 20th centuries, one must first know the origins of the sour relations. The birth of Buganda, after seceeding from Bunyoro-Kitara was the source of hostile relations. This article will show how this sad situation was arrived at. Up to about 1500 Kitara kingdom (today's Bunyoro-Kitara) under Abatembuzi and Abacwezi dynasities was peaceful, intact, with no rebellious princes. When the Abacwezi kings disappeared they left a three-year vacuum on the throne which was filled when four Ababiito princes were traced, and collected from their Luo mother in northern Uganda. They ascended the Kitara throne with their elder, twin brother, Isingoma Mpuuga Rukidi becoming the first Mubiito king. The Babiito dynasity continues today (January 2005) to reign in Bunyoro-Kitara, Buganda, Busoga, Tooro, Kooki, and Ankole. The Abacwezi kings left: behind a structure of local administration based on counties. Muhwahwa(lightweight)county, todays Buganda, was just one of Kitara's counties. In the pages ahead we are going to see that the counties admninistrative strucuture is also the cause of bad relations between. Bunyoro and Buganda. Muhwahwa's small size, hence the need to expand it, as we are about to see in the pages ahead, had a lasting bearing on the relations not only between Bunyoro-Kitara and Buganda, but also between Buganda and the rest of today's Uganda During Abacwezi reign Muhwahwa county under chief Sebwana, was very obedient, and extremely loyal to Bunyoro-Kitara kingdom.
