Even when I missed the opportunity for a Fulbright Scholarship, I found this a consolation. In the same vein, I do appreciate the words of encouragement from my colleagues in Kyambogo University whose inspiration motivated me to study and to carry on even when I felt discouraged. These included Prof. Opuda- Asibo, Prof. William Epeju, Dr. Nathan S. Senkomago, Dr. Cyprian Adupa, Dr. Elisabeth Kyazike, Filda Ojok, Daniel Ndawula, Dr. James Magezi, Dr. Yokana Ogola, John Baptist Okware and others. I am deeply indebted to my supervisors, Prof. Samson Omwoyo and Dr. Pius W. Kakai for their professionalism, patience and mature guidance that I received from them. Their comments and corrections were a big push in shaping this thesis in the right direction. May God reward you abundantly. I am also grateful to my research assistants Venasio Edeket, a retired Agricultural Officer and Emmanuel Ocepa for traversing the counties of Magoro, Ngariam, Ongongoja (in Katakwi district) and Acowa, Kapelebyong and Wera (in Amuria district) administering oral interviews and organising Focused Group Discussions with respondents. They did a commendable job. I would like to particularly thank John v Robert Ekongot the Local Council (LC) V Chairman of Katakwi district, for receiving me with open hands, Mathew Olemo, the District Planner (Katakwi distict), Angella Atim, the District Education Officer (Katakwi district) and Michael Richard Orwanga, the Inspector of Schools (Amuria district) for giving me valuable information. On a special note I extend my gratitude to Simon Okanya, the Principal Personnel Officer (Soroti district), for giving me access to Soroti District Archives. I should not forget some of the elders that I interviewed for giving me valuable information. These among others were Naboth Oduc, a retired teacher, Nico O. Akwang, a former Sub- County Chief and Eugenio Osele, a peasant farmer. I am deeply grateful to my wife Rebecca Okoboi and children: Leah Amuron, Sam Okoboi, James Mudidi, Ann Rhoda Agwang and Ignatius Eli Odongo for withstanding the difficult financial times when at times there was no “good” meal on their plate. My wife’s words of encouragement were always “You will finish”. I am particularly thankful to my son, James Mudidi, for his helping hand in computer work. vi ABSTRACT This study examined the genesis, development and impact of cattle rustling in Teso sub- region in the period 1600-2001. It analysed the early history of the Iteso, origins of cattle rustling, the causes of cattle rustling, the changing dimensions of cattle rustling and the impact of cattle rustling on the people of Katakwi district. A case of Katakwi district was taken because of its proximity to Karamoja sub-region where the rustlers came from. In analysing the genesis, development and impact of cattle rustling in Teso sub-region, the theories of social conflict, ecological and materialist paradigms were applicable. The study considered cattle rustling as a form of conflict brought about by ecological factors and materialist gains. The descriptive survey research design was applicable in the study because the information collected from respondents, archives and secondary sources was analysed as regards the genesis, development and impact of cattle rustling in Teso sub- region. The study revealed that the Iteso and the Karimojong originated from South West Abbyssinia (Ethiopia) where they had once lived together as pastoralists. The two communities migrated into Karamoja where they separated in about 1620s. The study found that the separation of the Iteso and Karimojong partly contributed to stealing of Teso cattle by the Karimojong because the Iteso had moved with the cattle from Karamoja. The burning of the carcasses of the Karimojong captured cattle in 1952 largely sparked cattle rustling in Katakwi district as a wayof revenge.The acquisition of modern weapons ( machine guns) escalated cattle rustling especially in the 1980s. This changing dimension from using traditional weapons (spears, bows and arrows, clubs) to modern ones adversely affected the socio-economic and political development in the area of study. Though cattle rustling had been brought about by ecological disparities between Teso and Karamoja sub-regions thereby leading to conflict, this was overshadowed by materialist gain in the post-independence period. The study is significant as it contributes to the growing historiography of cattle rustling within the East African region and Uganda specifically. The study is also significant to the policy makers who cherish the value of peace and living in harmony in North-Eastern Uganda, Uganda as a whole and East Africa in general. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ........................................................................................................................... ii DEDICATION ............................................................................................................................. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ............................................................................................................ iv ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS.............................................................................................................vii LIST OF MAPS..............................................................................................................................x LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS ..................................................................... xi LIST OF TABLES ..................................................................................................................... xiv LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................................... xv DEFINITION OF TERMS ......................................................................................................... xvi GLOSSARY..............................................................................................................................xviii CHAPTER ONE............................................................................................................................1 1.0 INTRODUCTION..............................................................................................................1 1.1 Background to the Study......................................................................................................1 1.1.1 The Teso Sub-Region ......................................................................................................... 15 1.2 Statement of the Problem ................................................................................................... 22 1.3 Objectives of the Study ...................................................................................................... 23 1.4 Research Premises .............................................................................................................. 23 1.5 Justification and Significance of the Study ........................................................................ 24 1.6 The Scope and Limitations of the study .............................................................................. 24 1.7 Literature Review and Theoretical Framework .................................................................. 25 1.7.1 Review of Related Literature..............................................................................................35 1.7.2 Theoretical Framework.......................................................................................................45

    the People’s voice uganda COMMUNITY PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PEPFAR UGANDA FOR 2021 Introduction: Developing “The People’s Voice” Since 2012, communities of People living with HIV (PLHIV), Key and Vulnerable Populations (KVPs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), under the leadership of the International Community of Women Living with HIV Eastern Africa (ICWEA), the Coalition for Health Promotion and Social Development (HEPS-Uganda) and Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) in collaboration with global partners including Health GAP and AVAC have been monitoring and informing PEPFAR Country Operational Planning (COP) processes. At that time, there were no minimum standards for the meaningful engagement of PLHIV, KVPs and CSOs and discussions with the U.S. government regarding Uganda’s COP would take place only in meetings at the U.S. Embassy. PLHIV, KVP and CSOs worked to ensure that the engagement processes became truly community- owned and community-led. They established a structured calendar, clear expectations of civil society and of PEPFAR Uganda, and a shared focus with PEPFAR Uganda on improving the accountability of the HIV response for communities and CSOs. This is the third edition of The People’s Voice; the first was facilities which are located in 28 districts (see Table A, page 3) published in 20191 and the second in 2020.2 Successes resulting during the CLM pilot phase (August-September 2020) and Focus from these efforts over the years include: introduction and scale Group Discussions (FGDs) with community representatives.

  • Knowledge Sovereignty Among African Cattle Herders
    Knowledge Sovereignty ‘This ground-breaking ethnography of Beni-Amer pastoralists in the Horn of Africa shows how a partnership of conventional science and local indigenous knowledge can generate a hybrid knowledge system which underpins a productive cattle economy. This has implications for sustainable pastoral development around the world.’ Knowledge Jeremy Swift, Emeritus Fellow, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex ‘Indigenous knowledge and the sovereignty issues addressed in the book are hallmarks to Sovereignty recognize African cattle herders and also to use this knowledge to mitigate climate change and appreciate the resilience of these herders. The book will be a major resource for students, researchers among and policy makers in Africa and worldwide.’ Mitiku Haile, Professor of Soil Science and Sustainable Land Management, Mekelle University ‘This important book arrives at a key moment of climate and food security challenges. Fre deploys among African great wisdom in writing about the wisdom of traditional pastoralists, which – refl ecting the way complex natural systems really work – has been tested through history, and remains capable of future evolution. The more general lesson is that both land, and ideas, should be a common treasury.’ Cattle African Cattle Herders Cattle African Robert Biel, Senior Lecturer, the Bartlett Development Planning Unit, UCL Beni-Amer cattle owners in the western part of the Horn of Africa are not only masters in cattle Herders breeding, they are also knowledge sovereign, in terms of owning productive genes of cattle and the cognitive knowledge base crucial to sustainable development. The strong bonds between the Beni- Amer, their animals, and their environment constitute the basis of their ways of knowing, and much of their knowledge system is built on experience and embedded in their cultural practices.

  • Survival Strategies of the Northern Paiute a Thesis Submitted in Parti
    University of Nevada, Reno Persistence in Aurora, Nevada: Survival Strategies of the Northern Paiute A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology By Lauren Walkling Dr. Carolyn White/Thesis Advisor May 2018 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by LAUREN WALKLING Entitled Persistence in Aurora, Nevada: Survival Strategies of the Northern Paiute be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Carolyn L White, Ph.D., Advisor Sarah Cowie, Ph.D, Committee Member Meredith Oda, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2018 i Abstract Negotiation and agency are crucial topics of discussion, especially in areas of colonial and cultural entanglement in relation to indigenous groups. Studies of agency explore the changes, or lack thereof, in material culture use and expression in response to colonial intrusion and cultural entanglement. Agency studies, based on dominance and resistance, use material and documentary evidence on varying scales of analysis, such as group and individual scales. Agency also discusses how social aspects including gender, race, and socioeconomic status affect decision making practices. One alternative framework to this dichotomy is that of persistence, a framework that focuses on how identity and cultural practices were modified or preserved as they were passed on (Panich 2013: 107; Silliman 2009: 212). Using the definition of persistence as discussed by Lee Panich (2013), archaeological evidence surveyed from a group of historic Paiute sites located outside of the mining town, Aurora, Nevada, and historical documentation will be used to track potential persistence tactics.

ENtiAt 5ftFwITI'f ("ufCn MATr4OR, (OW ~F f1AA~AI PLATE: .0'\. PREFACE. The research with which this review deals having been entirely carried out here in Central Africa, far away from all centres of science, the writer is only too well aware that his work must shown signs of the inadequacy of the material for reference at his disposal. He has been obliged to rely entirely on such literature as he could get out from Home, and, in this respect, being obliged for the most psrt to base his selection on the scanty information supplied by publishers' catalogues, he has often had many disappointments when, after months of waiting, the books eventually arrived. That in consequence certain errors may have found their way into the following pages is quite posaible, but he ventures to believe that they are neither many nor of great importance to the subject as a whole. With regard to linguistic comparisons, these have been confined within restricted limits, and the writer has only been able to make comparison with Hebrew, though possibly Aramaic and other Semitic dialects might have carried him further. As there is no Hebrew type in this country he has not been able to give the Hebrew words in their original character as he should have wished. All the quotations from Capt. M. Merker in the following pages are translations of the writer; he is aware that it would have been more correct to have given them in the original German, but in this case they would have been of little value to the majority of the readers of this Journal in Kenya.
