This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Water resources of a country constitute one of its vital assets that significantly contribute to the socio-economic development and poverty eradication. However, this resource is unevenly distri- buted in both time and space. The major source of water for these resources is direct rainfall, which is recently experiencing variability that threatens the distribution of resources and water availability in Uganda. The annual rainfall received in Uganda varies from 500 mm to 2800 mm, with an average of 1180 mm received in two main seasons. The spatial distribution of rainfall has resulted into a network of great rivers and lakes that possess big potential for development. These resources are being developed and depleted at a fast rate, a situation that requires assessment to establish present status of water resources in the country. The paper reviews the characteristics, availability, demand and importance of present day water resources in Uganda as well as describ- ing the various issues, challenges and management of water resources of the country.

    AFB.PPRC.27-28.2 AFB/PPRC.26-27/2 21 June 2021 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee PROPOSAL FOR UGANDA AFB/PPRC.27-28/2 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully-developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (Annex 5 of the OPG, as amended in March 2016) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process.

Field work, in the sense of exclusive con- centration on primary research, was conducted in two sections: a four months' visit immediately preceding Uganda's independence in October 1962 and the twelve months from July 1963. The material used in the case studies of individual unions was prepared at the beginning of 1964 although an attempt has been made to take account of subsequent changes by revision at the editorial stage.

    National Development Plan (2010/11 - 2014/15)

    NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2010/11 - 2014/15) VISION: A TRANSFORMED UGANDAN SOCIETY FROM A PEASANT TO A MODERN AND PROSPEROUS COUNTRY WITHIN 30 YEARS THEME: GROWTH, EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION FOR PROSPERITY April 2010 FOREWORD The Ugandan economy experienced varying growth rates when the Poverty Eradication Action Plan was being implemented, with an average GDP growth rate of 7.2 per cent between 1997/98 and 2000/01, to 6.8 per cent between 2000/01 and 2003/04, increasing to 8 per cent over the period 2004/05 to 2007/08. Based on economic forecasts, GDP growth rate over the National Development Plan (NDP) period is projected at an average of 7.2 per cent per annum. At this GDP growth rate, nominal per capita income is projected to increase from USD 506 in 2008/09 to about USD 850 by 2014/15. During the same period, the proportion of people living below the poverty line is expected to decline from the level of 31 per cent in 2005/06 to about 24.5 per cent in 2014/2015, above the MDG target of 28 per cent. The NDP also addresses structural bottlenecks in the economy in order to accelerate socioeconomic transformation for prosperity. The NDP interventions aim at creating employment, raising average per capita income levels, improving the labour force distribution in line with sectoral GDP shares, raising country human development and gender equality indicators, and improving the country’s competitiveness to levels associated with middle income countries. This requires the sustained orientation of Government expenditures and implementation capacity towards removal of the most binding constraints to the faster socio-economic transformation.

Executive Committee Members NatureUganda members and partners Invited guests, ladies and gentlemen, Let me start by welcoming you all to NatureUganda’s 19 th Annual General Meeting but the 102nd AGM of the East Africa Natural History Society. You are members of the oldest conservation organization in the region and undoubtedly one that has immensely contributed to the conservation of nature. For Members today, you should also be proud that you are the team that is setting foundations for the new century. We could be compared to those who started the organization in 1909, the difference is that for them they started from scratch but for us we are building into the achievements of the last century. Since the last AGM in November, the EC has met two times. I want to thank my colleagues for the commitment that you continue to exhibit and the love you have for this centurion organization. Let me introduce those who are present. I will be presenting some of the issues that they have discussed and recommended for your approval so as to move our organization forward. Our term has also been very short (five months) but a lot has happened. At the last AGM that was held on the 3rd h November 2010 two important things happened.
