    CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA:: 7(3) 180-198 UMU Press 2009 CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA: EX-POST EVALUATION OF A PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTED BY DOCTORS WITH AFRICA CUAMM Maria-Pia Waelkens#, Everd Maniple and Stella Regina Nakiwala, Faculty of Health Sciences, Uganda Martyrs University, P.O. Box 5498 Kampala, Uganda. #Corresponding author e-mail addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Disability is a common occurrence in many countries and a subject of much discussion and lobby. People with disability (PWD) are frequently segregated in society and by-passed for many opportunities. Stigma hinders their potential contribution to society. Doctors with Africa CUAMM, an Italian NGO, started a project to improve the life of PWD in the West Nile region in north- western Uganda in 2003. An orthopaedic workshop, a physiotherapy unit and a community-based rehabilitation programme were set up as part of the project. This ex-post evaluation found that the project made an important contribution to the life of the PWD through its activities, which were handed over to the local referral hospital for continuation after three years. The services have been maintained and their utilisation has been expanded through a network of outreach clinics. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) workers mobilise the community for disability assessment and supplement the output of qualified health workers in service delivery. However, the quality of care during clinics is still poor on account of large numbers. In the face of the departure of the international NGO, a new local NGO has been formed by stakeholders to take over some functions previously done by the international NGO, such as advocacy and resource mobilisation.

  • South Sudanese Refugee Project Gulu, Kampala & Arua, Uganda
    South Sudanese Refugee Project Gulu, Kampala & Arua, Uganda University of Maine Tessa Lilley, Ana Eliza Souza Cunha, Camilla Horton, Emma Paradie, Emma Freeman, Ellie Damuck and Taylor Delp; United States of America. University of Maine partnersforworldhealth.org Section I. The goals of this project were to provide clinical education and medical resources to the South Sudanese currently seeking refuge in Uganda. These goals were executed by providing primary care and prenatal education to pregnant women, and supplying the refugee camp health clinics with medical supplies. The South Sudanese Refugee Project was funded solely by the Davis Foundation’s Project for Peace program. Partners for World Health, University of Maine Chapter is a group of students from the University of Maine partnering with the non-profit organization Partners for World Health in Portland, Maine. Last year, Partners for World Health became aware of the scarcity of medical aide in the Imvepi Refugee Camp located in Northern Uganda. There is a massive influx of refugees fleeing their homeland due to civil conflict, and now the resources of the Imvepi Refugee Camp are being stretched to the limits. After hearing how desperate the settlement was in need of medical supplies, Partners for World Health pledged to provide supplies and educational assistance. The influx of refugees come from political discrepancies which sparked the ongoing violent civil war in South Sudan. There are now approximately 2.4 million refugees that have fled and are now seeking asylum in Uganda. Uganda’s generous refugee policies has allowed over 800,000 South Sudanese; and therefore, the sheer number of people needing medical attention is overwhelming the resources.
