It was conducted among a number of respondents which included cultural leaders, men women, and students in order to capture their views, opinions and experiences about cultural development by media. The research was conducted in Kayunga District because of the neamess of the researcher·s home area and her being familiar with area residents who in the end had to be the respondents. This reduced on the transpoti costs which the researcher had to spend when traveling to look for the respondents. L I Background Culhtre is a principle source of morals in which people live or conduct themselves. Traditionally people believed very much in culture but due to the rapid changes in political social and economic spheres of life, much of culhtral morals are neglected. When practicing culture, there different aspects which we have to look at for ex;ample the ways of dressing, ways of greetings, traditional crops, traditional values among many more. There a number of tribes and cultures in Uganda. Different tribes in Uganda have different cultural practices for example the Banyankole in westem Uganda practice Cattle rearing and believe that ha\·ing more cows is having more wealthy. The Baganda in the central take the ideal of having more land as having more wealth in their tradition. With culture still, you find that different tribes in Uganda have different cultural wears to potray their tradition or culture for example the Banyakole would prefer putting on "OMUSHANANA" for most of their culture gatherings or occasion. The Baganda would also prefer putting on a "GOMASI" for a woman and "KANZU" for a man for their cultural occasions to potray their cultural image. Putting clothes aside different cultures also have different traditional leaders forestance the Baganda have the "KABAKA" who always came from the royal family, the Banyakole have "Oiv!UGABE" the "BATOORO" have "LUKILABASHIZA", the Banoro have "OMUKAMA" among other tribes. Such heads are taken to be the presidents in their culture and honoured so much. Looking at media, its role to cultural development should be apprt>ciated. Media more so print or the printed word has always been there to motivate culture. Many miicles, stories and features have always been w1itten by journalists about culture which in the end have led to cultural development. Cultural centers have always been directed to people throw media for example the KASUBI TOMBS, Busaabale Landing site where the Jjaja's dwell among many more. These

The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, which is also bordered by Kenya and Tanzania. The current estimated population of Uganda is 32.4 million. Uganda has a very young population, with a median age of 15 years. It is a member of the African Union, the Commonwealth of Nations, Organisation of the Islamic Conference and East African Community. History of the people Uganda: The people of Uganda were hunter-gatherers until 1,700 to 2,300 years ago. Bantu-speaking populations, who were probably from central and western Africa, migrated to the southern parts of the country. These groups brought and developed ironworking skills and new ideas of social and political organization. The Empire of Kitara in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries represents the earliest forms of formal organization, followed by the kingdom of Bunyoro-Kitara, and in later centuries, Buganda and Ankole.

  • Rubaga Municipality
    FOREWORD This Slum Settlement Profile comes at an opportune time – a time when the city of Kampala is experiencing unprecedented growth in the history of Uganda. This growth and expansion is visible through the mushrooming of informal settlements across the different divisions of Kampala, especially in the low-lying areas of the city. This expansion has definitely exerted enormous pressure on land, with the poor occupying open spaces and the rich pushing the poor out of settlements for commercial and more formalised developments. The urban infrastructure (services and utilities) has not been spared as many residents demand for better quality water, sewer/ sanitation facilities, electricity, roads, security, and proper solid waste management systems. While the city still grapples with serving the existing communities, there are thousands that are flocking to the city in search of employment opportunities and better services. The invisible challenge for both the city and the communities has been lack of data/ information concerning the informal settlements, leading to a very wide gap between the plans and the priorities for the slum residents. The variables looked at in this Slum Profile include, among other factors, Security of Tenure, Housing, Water and Sanitation, Economic Activities, Accessibility, Drainage, and Solid Waste Management. Perhaps, the most outstanding and profound aspect is that this Slum Profile is not a collection of information from lawyers, teachers, doctors, or academicians, but rather ideas from the real slum dwellers who interface with the day-to- day challenges of slum life.

  • Political Theologies in Late Colonial Buganda
    POLITICAL THEOLOGIES IN LATE COLONIAL BUGANDA Jonathon L. Earle Selwyn College University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2012 Preface This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It does not exceed the limit of 80,000 words set by the Degree Committee of the Faculty of History. i Abstract This thesis is an intellectual history of political debate in colonial Buganda. It is a history of how competing actors engaged differently in polemical space informed by conflicting histories, varying religious allegiances and dissimilar texts. Methodologically, biography is used to explore three interdependent stories. First, it is employed to explore local variance within Buganda’s shifting discursive landscape throughout the longue durée. Second, it is used to investigate the ways that disparate actors and their respective communities used sacred text, theology and religious experience differently to reshape local discourse and to re-imagine Buganda on the eve of independence. Finally, by incorporating recent developments in the field of global intellectual history, biography is used to reconceptualise Buganda’s late colonial past globally. Due to its immense source base, Buganda provides an excellent case study for writing intellectual biography. From the late nineteenth century, Buganda’s increasingly literate population generated an extensive corpus of clan and kingdom histories, political treatises, religious writings and personal memoirs. As Buganda’s monarchy was renegotiated throughout decolonisation, her activists—working from different angles— engaged in heated debate and protest.

  • Environmental and Social Impact
    SFG1757 REV ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR KAMPALA INFRASTRUCTURE AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Public Disclosure Authorized PHASE 2 (KIIDP-II) Batch 1ROADS AND JUNCTIONS Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Prepared By: MBW Consulting Ltd in association with PEC with Public Disclosure Authorized CONSULTING TEAM An interdisciplinary team of consultants under Environmental Assessment Consult (Uganda) Limited (EACL) carried out the assessment i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) is mandated to plan, develop and maintain the city infrastructure. Good Infrastructure is fundamental in stimulating economic growth and generally, poverty reduction. For long, the City’s infrastructure has received inadequate attention due to limited funding, which has resulted into its stagnation and dilapidation. However, the population and demand for services has been steadily growing. Overall, Kampala has approximately 1,218 km of roads, of which about 38.4% are paved (bituminized) and 61.6% are unpaved (earth or gravel). A significant portion of the unpaved road network is heavily trafficked with over 500 vehicles per day. With the ever increasing traffic volumes, maintenance of unpaved roads has become very expensive and certainly unsustainable. Almost 80% of the bitumen roads and 99% of the unpaved roads are in a fair-to-poor condition due to a heavy maintenance backlog. Some roads bear potholes, surface irregularities, and cracks, that adversely impact transport system. Localized repairs have become expensive and uneconomical due to frequent break breaking down of repaired road patchworks. This ESIA report has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Uganda. The guidelines require that any developer seeking to carry out a development of the nature and category described under Schedule 3 of The National Environment Act, Cap 153 carries out an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA).
