Integration of cross cutting issues during planning, budgeting and implementation of development programs. The district has however continued to experience low/poor service delivery levels manifested by low household incomes, poor education standards, low level of immunization coverage, high maternal mortality rate, poor road network and low access to safe water among others. This district workplan focuses on a number of interventions aimed at addressing some of these challenges above through implementation of sector specific strategies highlight in the annual plans for FY 2019/20. These include school infrastructure development using the Sector Development Grant and health infrastructure development. The district road network will be maintained using the road IXQG7KLVGRFXPHQWSURYLGHVDSODQIRULQWHJUDWHGSODQQLQJDQGEXGJHWLQJDQGVKRXOGEHDGRSWHGE\DOONH\SOD\HUVWRSURPRWHWKHGHYHORSPHQWRIWKHGLVWULFW,H[SUHVVP\VLQFHUHJUDWLWXGHWRWKH Technical staff and for their diligence, administrative support and technical input in the preparation of this document.

National Population and Housing Census 2014 Area Specific Profiles – Kamuli District 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.

Please provide detailed answers to the following questions. The boxes will expand as you type. Attach this completed form to the Matching Grant application. 1. Name of community: Nkondo Sub-County Community 2. Describe the benefiting community. Include any relevant statistics as well as geographic and demographic information about the community. Geographical Location Nkondo is a remote rural subcounty located along the eastern shores of Lake Kyoga and on the western banks of the Victoria Nile River in Budiope county1 Kamuli district in the Eastern region of Uganda. Administrative Structure Administratively, Nkondo is composed of four parishes, 25 villages and 4,002 households with an average house hold size of 5.1 persons higher than the national average of 4.7 persons2. Population In 2002 the total population of Nkondo was 18,153 (9,319 women and 8,834) which was 2.6% of the district population. The population is now projected at 23,980 (12,568 women and 11,412 men) i.e. 3.6% of the district’s total population of 662,4073. Socio-culture Structure Nkondo is a heterogeneous community with the Basoga (76%) as the dominant ethnic group followed by the Iteso (4.0%), the Banyoro-Bagungu (2%) and others (18%)4 who include the so called minority tribe groups, and those other tribes locally known as abalumuse that moved to the area as a result of the 1987 insurgencies across Lake Kyoga. Lusoga is the predominant language5 amongst these various ethnic groups.

Abstract The roles of women in community forestry in Uganda are well documented. How eve•·, the socio-cultural restrictions of women and poor access to conventional information media undermine optimization of their potentials. This study investigated Information-Communication Technology (lCT) use pattern of women tree farmers. Questionnaires were administered to 376 women tree fa rmers who were randomly sampled from the parishes ofBugulumbya, Kasambira and Nawandhyo, Buzaya County, Kamuli district. The find ings revealed that 31 % of the women own functional radio sets and prefer listening to the evening broadcast (8.00 - lO.OOp.m) for agricultural programmes. Readership of newspapers and extension publications were the other information media. About 42% of the women prefer to read the Lusoga language version of the Newspapers and extension publications because many of them could only read in vernacular, particularly posters (52%). Most of the women enjoy traditional for·ms of communication particularly local music (67% ). Therefore, the usc of print media or extension publications for information dissemination to women tree farmers in Uganda sbould be in their native languages.

  • On-Farm Multi-Location Evaluation of Genotype by Environment Interactions for Seed Yield and Cooking Time in Common Bean Dennis N
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN On-farm multi-location evaluation of genotype by environment interactions for seed yield and cooking time in common bean Dennis N. Katuuramu1, Gabriel B. Luyima2, Stanley T. Nkalubo2, Jason A. Wiesinger1,3, James D. Kelly1 & Karen A. Cichy1,4* Common bean variety choice by farmers in Uganda is driven by seed yield plus end-use quality traits like market class and cooking time. Limited genotype by environment information is available for traits valued by consumers. This research evaluated yield, seed size, hydration properties, and cooking time of 15 common bean genotypes within market classes recognized by consumers along with three farmers’ checks at nine on-farm locations in Uganda for two seasons. Yield ranged from 71 to 3,216 kg ha−1 and was largely controlled by location (21.5% of Total Sums of Squares [TSS]), plus the interaction between location and season (48.6% of TSS). Cooking time varied from 19 to 271 minutes with the genotypes Cebo Cela and Ervilha consistently cooking fastest in 24 and 27 minutes respectively. Comparatively, the local checks (NABE-4, NABE-15, and Masindi yellow) took 35 to 45 minutes to cook. Cooking time was largely controlled by genotype (40.6% of TSS). A GGE biplot analysis uncovered the presence of two mega-environments for yield and one mega-environment for cooking time. Identifcation of mega-environments for these traits will help expedite common bean breeding, evaluation, and variety selection through reduction of number of test environments needed for phenotype evaluations. The high yielding and fast cooking genotypes from this study can be targeted as parental materials to improve existing common bean germplasm for these important traits.

  • 2002 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 31, 2003
    Uganda Page 1 of 26 Uganda Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2002 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 31, 2003 President Yoweri Museveni continued to dominate the Government after he was reelected to a second 5-year term in March 2001. He has ruled since 1986 through the dominant political party, The Movement. The Constitution provides for an autonomous, independently elected President and a 295-member unicameral Parliament whose members were elected to 5-year terms. The Parliament was weak compared to the Executive, although it occasionally displayed independence and assertiveness. In the June 2001 parliamentary elections, more than 50 percent of those elected were new legislators; however, Movement supporters remained in control of the legislative branch. Observers believed that the 2001 presidential and parliamentary elections generally reflected the will of the population; however, both were marred by serious irregularities, particularly in the period leading up to the elections, such as restrictions on political party activities, incidents of violence, voter intimidation, and fraud. A 2000 national referendum on the role of political parties formally extended the Movement form of government indefinitely and severely restricted political activities. The Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) continued to work to amend the 1995 Constitution during the year. The judiciary generally was independent but was understaffed and weak; the President had extensive legal powers. The Uganda People's Defense Force (UPDF) was the key security force. The Constitution provides for civilian control of the UPDF, with the President designated as Commander in Chief; a civilian served as Minister of Defense.
