State of Flooding in Kampala STATE OF FLOODING IN KAMPALA STATTMENT BY THE MINISTER TOR KAMPALA CAPITAL CITY AND METROPPLITAN AFFAIRS 18TH JUNE 2019 INFORMATION PAPER ON THE STATE OF FLOODING IN KAMPALA The Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Members, 1..0 INTRODUCTION l.l Flooding in Kampala and the Metropolitan Area Madam Speaker and Honorable Colleagues; you may note that the ongoing rainy season has caused flooding in various parts of Kampala and the Metropolitan Area. The floods have led to widespread destruction of property and livelihoods, disruption of business and economic activities and loss of lives. For instance, on Sunday 26th Muy 2019, a number of areas flooded, roads were cut off and a lot of property was destroyed in Kampala and surrounding areas. Eight (8) people are believed to have lost their lives in the areas of Kikajjo, Lubowa and Lufuka all located in Masajja and Bunamwaya divisions. According to relief Agencies, over 500 households were affected by the floods of 26th Muy 2019. The most affected villages include: Lubowa, Lufuka, Kazinga, Wakulekana, Btzali, Masajja-Kibira-B, Lwasa bridge way kiangle, Kabuma,Katongo,Kikajjo, Katwe, Makindye- Ssabagabo (in Wakiso but in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan area; GKMA). In Kampala area, the floods have had a devastating effect on the lives of people, livestock, businesses, households and disrupted transport in areas like Bwaise, Nateete, Nalukolongo, Bugolobi, Nakawa industrial area and Kyambogo. Many people have been left homeless and others have had to move to neighboring villages for shelter with relatives and friends. Schools 1. too have been affected and this has an impact on the education of children in the affected areas. There is risk of disease outbreaks due to poor hygiene and sanitation as heavy rains continue amidst compromised hygiene and sanitation situations in communities. Many latrines were washed away and feacal matter flows with flooding water into people's homes. Children are at most risk of contracting diseases like pneumonia, cholera and other viral and bacterial infections. '/.,.2 Increased rainfall in Uganda According to the Uganda National Meteorological Authority (UNMA), " overall, there is an increased likelihood of above normal rainfall over most parts of Uganda (in the April-June 2019 season)". From Muy 2019 to date the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA) has experienced torrential rainfall. Overall, above normal (above average) rainfall is expected to prevail over this region. These rains, according to UNMA, are expected to continue up to J:uly 2019. 1.3 Kampala Drainage System The drainage network system of Kampala comprises of 8 main watersheds: Nakivubo, Lubigi, Nalukolongo, Kasanga, Mayanja/Kaliddubi, Kinawataka, Nalu,baga, Walufumbe (as per attached). In each basiry runoff water is drained by primary channels (main channels along the low-lying areas), by secondury channels, the tertiary channels and small drains. All these drainage systems follow the natural flow of terrain in the Kampala and Metropolitan Area up to the lowest point of the catchment. The hilly terrain of Kampala implies that water quickly flows from the catchment areas into primary and secondary channels located at the lowest points (or in the valleys). 2 2.0 oBIECTTVES OF THE INFORMATION PAPER The purpose of this Information Paper is to: 2.1, Give Parliament a status report on the most flood prone areas in Kampala; 2.2 Inform Parliament about the causes of floods in Kampala and the Metropolitan Area; 2.3 Appraise Parliament on the interventions by KCCA to address the flooding issues in the Kampala Area; 2.4 Inform Parliament that a comprehensive plan shall require land acquisition and resettlement of people; 2.5 Inform Parliament of the urgent need for a Greater Kampala Metropolitan Drainage Master Plan. 3.0 THE PROBLEM Maddam Speaker, the torrential rains have caused flooding in the GKMA areas. These floods have caused havoc, damaged infrastructure (such as drainage systems, roads and powerlines), devastated people's homes and industrial properties which has caused serious disruption to traffic flow and economic activities in the City. People living and working in low-lying areas are mostly at risk to the impacts of flooding. Recently, there have been reports of several people dying (in collapsed buildings and drowning in storm-water) due to the floods. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that drainage catchment areas and associated impacts transcend beyond the KCCA areas of jurisdiction. The flooding issues hence require a holistic approach from Government. 3 4.0 KEY FLOOD SPOTS IN KAMPALA 4.'j, Bwaise Area (a) Kiyanja channel -Lumas Road This is an earth channel and it's a secondary channel to Lubigi channel. It is located in Kawempe Division and it flows from Gayaza Road through Kanyanya and discharges in Lubigi channel.

This issue offers a diversity of articles representing research across urban Sub-Saharan Africa, India, Vietnam and the EU with authorship along the spectrum from PhD and early career researchers to seasoned scholars. The title of this issue is a theme found to be a common thread throughout the contributions: How can global challenges be successfully addressed through local actions? This notion is Corrie Griffith not new, but continues to be heard as an important challenge within the Global Environmental Executive Officer 480.965.6771 Change community. Cities, although small in terms of percentage of the Earth’s surface (3%), 480.727.9680 have profound influences beyond their boundaries — e.g., with respect to GHG emissions, [email protected] natural resources, ecosystems, markets and economies, information flows, etc. How we influence development and urbanization over the next few decades will thus be critical for human well- being and the global environment. The articles in this issue remind us that we cannot overlook the resources, institutions, knowledge and expertise that exist in many urban areas, and that there are lessons to be learned, shared and adapted to other local contexts. Moving from the local to global, we’d like to share with you some exciting activities that are taking place at this scale within the UGEC project.

  • 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.

  • Health Care Waste Management Among Health Workers And
    Wafula et al. BMC Public Health (2019) 19:203 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-6528-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Health care waste management among health workers and associated factors in primary health care facilities in Kampala City, Uganda: a cross-sectional study Solomon Tsebeni Wafula1* , Julian Musiime2 and Frederick Oporia1 Abstract Background: Healthcare wastes (HCWs) are one of the most hazardous wastes globally; second to only radiation waste. HCW management needs to be prioritized because of the devastating effects on human health and environment if not well managed. Health workers play a crucial role in management of HCWs. This study investigated the management of HCWs among health workers and associated factors in primary health care facilities in Kampala City, Uganda. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional health facility survey in 8 primary health care facilities in Kampala City from March to April 2017. We interviewed health workers who provided data on socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes and practices on HCW management. Prevalence ratios (PRs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals were used as a measure of association between HCW management and associated factors. The PRs were obtained using a multivariable modified Poisson regression using a generalized linear model of Poisson family with a logarithm as the canonical link function, with robust standard errors while applying a forward elimination method. Results: A total of 200 health workers responded to the survey; Knowledge of HCW management was high 143 (71.5%, 95% CI (65.2–77.8)). About 160 (80.0%) wore appropriate personal protective wear when handling HCWs.
