The combination of an extremely young population, large numbers of vulnerable children and orphans, high levels of child poverty and a failing education system has pushed 51 per cent of all children aged between 5 and 17 into work. Across the country, more than one in four children (26 per cent) are defined as child labourers. A large number of children work in Uganda’s gold mines. Researchers working on this report estimate that there are about 50,000 artisanal gold miners in Uganda – roughly 20 to 30 per cent of these are children. These estimates mean that 10,000 to 15,000 children are working alongside adults as artisanal gold miners. Part of these children still attend primary school periodically, as well as working in the mines. However, the research shows that very few of the children go on to secondary school. Researchers found that school-going children work during the school holidays and at the weekends, while the children that have already dropped out of school work on the mining sites throughout the year. The field study for this report took place during the school holidays. Researchers visited three mining sites in the Mubende District of Uganda. They observed that 70 to 80 per cent of the workers in the area where gold is washed (or ‘panned’) were children. In total the researchers saw around 1,000 to 1,200 children working on the three visited sites. They interviewed 52 children aged between 7 and 17 - 20 per cent of these interviewees was working full time and not attending school. Labour conditions The washing of the ground gold ore is typically done by children. They concentrate the ore using sluices or they pan the ore, standing in ponds. Children buy bags of ore themselves or they are hired by other miners to wash ore, but mostly they concentrate gold out of tailings – leftover materials. When working for themselves, they sell their gold to a buyer on the mining site. The children who still attend school work in the mine at the weekends and during holidays. During the holidays, they typically work five or six days per week, often starting work at around 7 am and finishing between 3 pm and 6 pm in the afternoon. Among the ten interviewees who had dropped out of school, hours are also long – they generally work six days per week for up to 11 hours per day. The children earn relatively small amounts for these long hours of arduous work. The younger children (between 7 and 13) mention that, although they find gold every day, this could be as little as 0.05 grams and not often more than 0.1 grams. For this quantity they earn €1.09 to €2.31 per day (with the costs for the mercury already deducted). 5 No Golden Future – Use of child labour in gold mining in Uganda Mercury is an important part of the process when it comes to washing gold. Researchers observed that children who wash the ore are concentrating the gold with mercury and come into direct contact with mercury on a regular basis. They rub the mercury

    LG Approved Workplan Vote:625 Kasanda District FY 2019/20 Foreword The Local Government Act, CAP 243(as amended) devolves planning Powers to Local Councils in their areas of Jurisdiction. The Local Government Planning Cycle (second Budget call circular 2019) By the end of the Financial Year 2019/2020 the district expects to receive and spend19,614,574,000/= out of 18,4484,127,000was allocated to district head Quarters and 1,130,447,000/= was allocated to Lower Local Government Also requires every Higher Local Government to prepare Final Annual Workplans for Financial Year 2019/2020.Kassanda District is located in the Central Region of Uganda bordering Gomba, Kiboga, Mityana and Mubende Districts. It is comprised of three Town Council (Kassanda TC, Bukuya TC and Kiganda TC), two Counties (Kassanda County and Bukuya County) plus 3 constituencies ( kassanda south, Kassanda North and Bukuya) . Kassanda District had a population of 275,266 persons (Male=140,095 and Female= 135,171) according to National Population Housing Census 2014. The Current Population is Projected at 323,804 (Male=164,798 and Female= 159,006). Some of the areas in the district are hard to reach and others hard to stay. They include areas in Makokoto (Bbira). The District needs Transport to be able to fully implement council programmes. Many areas do not have access to hydroelectricity (Main Grid) and the road networks are poor. There¶s therefore need for the central Government to highly consider Kassanda District under various Government Programmes like Rural Electrification and road unit equipment. Uganda Road Fund is funding mainly road maintenance at the District level and community access roads at Sub County level.
