  • Uganda 2015 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral Parliament in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The three most serious human rights problems in the country included: lack of respect for the integrity of the person (unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (freedoms of assembly, expression, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (sexual and gender-based violence), children (sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, societal or mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, media reported security forces in Apaa Parish in the north shot and killed five persons during a land dispute over the government’s border demarcation.

The second Census of Agriculture (National Census of Agriculture and Livestock) was conducted during 1990/91 although preparatory arrangements had started earlier. That census was funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and executed by FAO. The Ministry then responsible for agriculture was the implementing agency. The third and latest in the series is the Uganda Census of Agriculture (UCA) of 2008/09. Its main objective was to establish a system of Food and Agriculture Statistics (FAS), for providing timely information to inform policy and planning. This report presents the findings relating to area, production, yields and disposition of major crops. In addition, the report presents agricultural holding characteristics such as the number of agricultural households, the number and location of parcels, the number of plots as well as the mean plot sizes for each crop, parcel ownership and average holding size.
