National Population and Housing Census 2014 Area Specific profiles – Mitooma 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.

On the one hand, rural–urban migration can contribute to the socioeconomic development of a country. On the other hand, it also leads to labor transfer, brain-drain in rural areas, and overcrowded cities where planning is lagging behind.

  • USAID/Uganda's District-Based Technical Assistance (DBTA)
    ANNEX A. STATEMENT OF WORK STATEMENT OF WORK FOR EVALUATION OF USAID/UGANDA’S DISTRICT-BASED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (DBTA) PROJECTS, STRENGTHENING TUBERCULOSIS AND HIV/AIDS RESPONSES (STAR) PROJECTS IN EAST, EAST-CENTRAL, AND SOUTH-WEST UGANDA INTRODUCTION The STAR projects in East, East-Central, and South-West Uganda were the first in USAID/Uganda’s District Based Technical Assistance (DBTA) model featuring regional focus on improving accessibility, quality, and availability of integrated health service delivery as well as health financing and management. The STAR program is implemented by Management Sciences for Health (MSH) in East Uganda, by John Snow International (JSI) in East-Central Uganda, and by Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) in South-West Uganda, covering thirty- four districts in total. Working closely with the Ministry of Health and through district health management teams (DHMTs), district councils, health facilities, and communities, the projects’ goal is to increase access to, coverage of, and utilization of quality comprehensive HIV/AIDS and TB prevention, care, and treatment services within district health facilities and their respective communities. This will be achieved through the following objectives: (a) strengthening decentralized HIV/AIDS and TB service delivery systems; (b) improving the quality and efficiency of HIV/AIDS and TB service delivery within health facilities; (c) strengthening networks and referrals systems to improve access to, coverage of, and use of HIV/AIDS and TB services; and (d) increasing demand for comprehensive HIV/AIDS and TB prevention, care, and treatment services. All three STAR projects are designed to strengthen systems at the decentralized level to facilitate improved delivery and uptake of HIV/AIDS and TB services, including district-led performance reviews to help identify coverage and service gaps.

  • New District Creation in Uganda and Local Actors: Passive Recipients Or Active Pursuers?
    Journal of Public Administration and Governance ISSN 2161-7104 2018, Vol. 8, No. 2 New District Creation in Uganda and Local Actors: Passive Recipients or Active Pursuers? Tabaro Robert (Corresponding Author) Kyambogo University P.O Box 01, Kyambogo, Uganda Katusiimeh Mesharch Makerere University Business School, P.O Box 1337, Kampala, Uganda Nadia Molenaers Institute of Development Policy and Management Lange St.-Annastraat 7, B-2000 ANTWERP Prinsstraat 13, B-2000 ANTWERP, Belgium Received: March 26, 2018 Accepted: May 8, 2018 Online published: May 24, 2018 doi:10.5296/jpag.v8i2.13191 URL: https://doi.org/10.5296/jpag.v8i2.13191 Abstract From the 1990s, Uganda embarked on a process of subdividing administrative units (districts) as part of the decentralization programme supposedly to bring services closer to the people. Literature has, however, shown that in most of the cases the process is used as a strategy by the incumbent president- Museveni for his political survival. As such, new district creation is seen as a process driven by central political elites. The role of local policy entrepreneurs (actors) has thus been given limited attention. Basing on thirty five elite interviews and document review, we established that local policy entrepreneurs do matter in policy change processes and can at times challenge the position of central political elites. Focusing on the new district of Sheema in western Uganda (split from „mother‟ district of Bushenyi in 2010), we found out that president Museveni who initially „opposed‟ the idea of a new district had to finally give in to peoples‟ demands. This was because local policy entrepreneurs in Sheema were determined, eager, highly motivated and smart in strategizing and forming alliances in 62 http://jpag.macrothink.org Journal of Public Administration and Governance ISSN 2161-7104 2018, Vol.

  • A Case Study of the Trees for Global Beneffts Project, Uganda
    Finding equity in carbon sequestration Finding equity in carbon sequestration A case study of the Trees for Global Benefits project, Uganda Kate Schreckenberg, David M. Mwayafu, Roselline Nyamutale 2013 1 Finding equity in carbon sequestration Executive Summary This study set out to explore the equity ramifications of a Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme, using the Trees for Global Benefit (TFGB) project in former Bushenyi district as a case study. The TFGB project contracts farmers to plant a variety of indigenous tree species in order to sell verified emissions reductions on the voluntary carbon market. Farmers are paid in instalments to cover their tree establishment costs, with payments ceasing when trees reach ten years and are considered sufficiently profitable to be maintained regardless of incentive payments. Fieldwork was carried out in 2012 and involved discussions with participants, non-participants, project implementers and external key informants. The equity framework (McDermott et al., 2013) was used to guide a systematic discussion of different aspects of equity. The framework proved to be useful in highlighting a number of aspects that might otherwise not have been apparent. Important issues raised by the study include the fact that a tree-planting project inevitably excludes farmers who do not have sufficient land or capital to engage in tree-planting. Without a clear goal to improve local-level equity (and not just the livelihoods of participants), the project therefore cannot be sure that it will not increase disparities by providing a new income-generating activity to people who tend, on the whole, already to be better-off than their neighbours.
