    SOCIAL EMBEDDEDNESS OF LAND A Case Study of Intra-familial Land Disputes in Mbarara District, Uganda By Imke Greven and Eva Legemate December 2012 MSc International Development Studies Wageningen University and Research Centre Disaster Studies Group Supervisors: Gemma van der Haar and Mathijs van Leeuwen SOCIAL EMBEDDEDNESS OF LAND A case study of intra-familial land disputes in Mbarara district, Uganda December, 2012 Imke Greven Student ID: 890807277100 International Development Studies – Development Economics MSc Minor Thesis Eva Legemate Student ID: 860818510110 International Development Studies – Disaster Studies Chair Group MSc Thesis Supervisors: Dr. Ir. Gemma van der Haar (Disaster Studies Group – Wageningen University) Dr. Mathijs van Leeuwen (Social & Cultural Psychology – Radboud University Nijmegen) Thesis code: RDS-80733 2 Abstract This thesis present a case study of intra-familial land disputes in Mbarara district, Uganda. Land disputes within families take place within parent-child relations, marital relations and generational relationships. Land disputes form a threat to tenure security in Uganda. It appears that many of these disputes occur within families. These disputes do not only represent a struggle about resources, they are also a struggle about issues regarding control, authority and decision-making regarding access to land within families. Intra-familial land disputes have severe consequences for community stability and agricultural productivity. This research is based upon a three-months research in Kagongi sub-county, Bugamba sub-county, Rubaya sub- county and Mbarara municipality. For this research we made use of several research methods as observations, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and questionnaires. The aim of this research is twofold. One, to gain insight on intra-familial land disputes and pathways to resolution.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Objectives: Between 2019 and 2045, the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) will double; associated with this, the burden of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is also expected to increase, especially in low-resourced settings. To prevent avoidable visual impairment and blindness, early detection through screening and early treatment are necessary. To enable access to these services, we developed the Lions Diabetic Retinopathy Project for southwestern Uganda to serve the region including 17 Districts with eight million inhabitants. Methods: A three-pronged strategy for mass screenings levering the existing general health system and opportunistic screening of higher-risk population. Capacity building involved training a vitreoretinal surgeon and allied eye care providers, installing critical infrastructure at the referral eye hospital, and acquiring equipment for primary health centres.

    DATA FOR THE BOSS: EVIDENCE OF NON-USE OF HEALTH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM 2(1) 3-12 UMU Press 2007 THEME ONE: MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES DATA FOR THE BOSS: EVIDENCE OF NON-USE OF HEALTH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (HMIS) DATA IN BUFUMBIRA EAST HEALTH SUB-DISTRICT, KISORO DISTRICT Nsekuye Paschal, Community Health Department, St. Francis Mutolere Hospital, Kisoro, Uganda Abstract A goal of the health management information system (HMIS) is to provide reliable, comprehensive information about the health system to health managers, to enable them take decisions that will improve the services provided to the consumers. Whereas HMIS quality concerns like the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of reports have been more commonly assessed and reported about in a number of studies, relatively less documentation is found on the actual utilisation of the information generated from HMIS reports. Yet, the HMIS is not an end in itself but just a tool to inform managers and enable them take informed and timely decisions. This study assessed the utilisation of HMIS data for decision making at the grassroots level in Bufumbira East Health Sub-District (HSD) of Kisoro District. It was found that HMIS data were not used for decision making at the point of collection and that the HMIS was dogged by many problems like few dedicated staff. The staff lacked sensitization on the HMIS and were not trained in completing the reports and data analysis. Lower level units submitted their data directly to the district bypassing the HSD. The HMIS was not planned for and lacked funding and stationery. HMIS functioning was not a subject for support supervision and there was only verbal feedback from the district level.

  • Astrid L. Mathiassen, John B. Musoke, Peter Opio and Per Schøning Documentsenergy and Poverty a Feasibility Study on Statistics on Access and Use of Energy in Uganda
    2005/11 November 2005 Documents Statistics Norway Division for Development Cooperation and Uganda Bureau of Statistics Astrid L. Mathiassen, John B. Musoke, Peter Opio and Per Schøning DocumentsEnergy and Poverty A feasibility study on statistics on access and use of energy in Uganda Astrid L. Mathiassen, John B. Musoke, Peter Opio and Per Schøning Energy and Poverty A feasibility study on statistics on access and use of energy in Uganda Abstract The overall Uganda Policy on eradication of poverty as well as the energy specific policy includes strategies and targets for how to develop energy access and use. Numerous indicators are developed with the objective of providing a tool for monitoring of how well the policy targets are achieved. Timely and reliable information from statistical and administrative sources is urgently needed in order to determine these indicators and thereby to enable for monitoring of policy impacts and guidance for further development. This paper documents the findings and gives recommendations from a study with the objective to assess the available energy related statistics in Uganda in an attempt to link energy statistics to the country's poverty situation. The study was undertaken by Statistics Norway (SN) in close cooperation with the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) during a SN mission to UBOS May 23rd to June 10th, 2005. The Norwegian Government funded the project. The study identifies at least 4 major challenges to overcome: 1) To assemble and harmonize already existing information on energy from a multitude of sources and make it more easily accessible to the users. 2) To further improve the specification of parameters collected in order to fill possible gaps of information and to ensure a core set of information with regular intervals of updates that links the statistics to the policy indicators.
