Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project (Arsdp)
Republic of Uganda ALBERTINE REGION SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (ARSDP) RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK (RPF) VOLUME 1 FINAL DRAFT REPORT NOVEMBER 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The Government of Uganda (GoU) with support of the World Bank (IDA) is preparing the Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project. The Albertine Rift Valley is a center for rapid growth which is likely to accelerate with the oil development underway in the region. To ensure that the benefits of the oil development reach the residents of the area, GoU is keen to improve connectivity to and within the region and local economic infrastructure. The two Districts of Buliisa and Hoima are the focus of the project as well as the Town Council of Buliisa. Hoima Municipality is already included in the USMID project, which is shortly to commence, and is thus not included in the ARSDP. Project Components The Project has three components which are outlined below. Component 1. upgrading of 238km of Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima-Masindi-Kigumba is to be funded by both the AfDB (138km) and The World Bank (IDA) (100km). The RAP for this component has already been prepared, comments reviewed by the Bank and an update of PAPs and property is on going therefore this RPF does not cover component 1. The project coverage for component 2 and 3 will be as described below but in the event that additional districts are added under component 2 and any additioanl technical colleges are added under component 3 this RPF will apply. Component 1: Regional Connectivity: Improvement of the Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima- Kigumba National Road. -

Effectiveness of Internship in Fostering Learning: the Case of African Rural University
Psychology Research, January 2016, Vol. 6, No. 1, 32-41 doi:10.17265/2159-5542/2016.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING Effectiveness of Internship in Fostering Learning: The Case of African Rural University Florence Ndibuuza African Rural University, Kagadi-Kibaale, Uganda Internship is deemed to be a prerequisite for a 21st Century graduate to survive in the world of work. It’s on the basis of this that this study sought to establish the effectiveness of internship in respect to learning in the field among undergraduates of African Rural University. The quantitative survey involved 23 students and 53 community members who filled a questionnaire and an interview guide respectively. Data analysis involved the use of percentages, means and multiple regression. The results of the study revealed that the three independent variables: cognitive, behavioral, and environmental learning experience (CLE, BLE and ELE) were not correlates of internship. It’s upon this background that it was recommended that the key players of the university ought to lay undue emphasis on enhancing CLE, BLE, and ELE, rather effort should be put on other elements to learning. Keywords: internship, learning, cognitive, behavioral and environmental experience Introduction Internship has been associated with several benefits to all key concerned stakeholders including the intern, academic institution and the employer. Accordingly studies (e.g., Steffen, 2010; Bukaliya, 2012; Papadimitriou, 2014) highlighted that internship provides authentic work experience to students. The institution is said to benefit through the increased cooperation and rapport with the internship organization, Bukaliya (2012) yet (Neugebauer, 2009; Steffen, 2010) mentioned that many employers use internship as the main tool for recruiting new talent. -
