SPEAKS out on HIV/AIDS We are aware of the menace, no sure method of cure has been found. “Prevention is better than cure,” As such, abstinance is the only sure way. When we talk of Educating the Whole man, “King Oyo” aims at empowering the youths with awareness, and dedication to fight HIV/AIDS. Ignorance can be more deadly than the virus itself. Please do not be deceived; herbs, chemicals and witchcraft cannot cure HIV/AIDS. The condom is not either. The only sure way is to abstain. Both the head, heart and hands should be educated.

Chris Mugenyi Rwabwogo AMICAALL CO-ORDINATOR FORT PORTAL CHAPTER vi Mayor’s Foreward: In response to the challenges of HIV/AIDS pandemic within urban com- munities, AMICAAL Fort Portal chapter has come up with this document to provide a blue print for authentic HIV/AIDS service providers. The multi-sectoral response to HIV/AIDS emphasises on a decentralised approach, which is central to the local governments Act 1997. The Act emphasises decentralisation of governance and service delivery with devolution of powers to the local governments. As a result it becomes inevitable for the Municipal Authority to take an upper hand in the planning and co-ordination of HIV/AIDS intervention with an overall goal of improving access to information on locally avail- able authentic services and establishment of monitoring and referral systems to facilitate a more co-ordinated and effective response to the epidemic at the local level. Although there may be concentration of HIV/AIDS service providers in the Municipality there is evidence of lack of access by all, while the rural community has support through neighbours and relatives hence easy dis- semination of information, people living in urban areas are un attached with no social networks and less community cohesion. This puts them in an information vacuum pertaining available services, which leads to circulation of distorted information about HIV/AIDS. In my view providing leadership for HIV/AIDS response is something, which we can all be proud of. Effective leadership and commitment can contain the epidemic, as we have seen in our country, our President His Excellency Kaguta Yoweri Museveni is a leading example, he had a bold vision to turn the tide of this global epidemic and he did, where leaders have been silent and inactive, HIV/AIDS continue to spread rapidly de- spite adequate resources being available. However, the battle against HIV/AIDS cannot be won without the neces- sary resources. We need substantial assistance to meet the needs of 1 people. Therefore I wish to call upon my fellow local leaders and other partners to join AMICAAL to mobilise resources for HIV/AIDS. Let me take this opportunity to thank all those who worked extremely hard to compile this directory especially the Town Clerk Fort Portal Mr. Denis Mugarra and the Co-ordinator AMICAAL Fort Portal Chapter Chris Rwabogo Mugenyi for their tireless effort. On behalf of AMICAAL Fort Portal Chapter and on my own behalf, I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to UNDP for the financial and moral sup- port and a special way to the National Co-ordinator Dr. Mugisa John in particular and the entire secretariat who has ensured that the local lead- ership in urban centres is mobilised for HIV/AIDS response. I thank you very much for your concern, interest and solidarity as we build for the future.

Vice President Edward Ssekandi, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda, I was informed that there is a Budgeting Conference going on in Kampala. My campaign schedule does not permit me to attend that conference. I will, instead, put my views on paper regarding the next cycle of budgeting. As you know, I always emphasize prioritization in budgeting. Since 2006, when the Statistics House Conference by the Cabinet and the NRM Caucus agreed on prioritization, you have seen the impact. Using the Uganda Government money, since 2006, we have either partially or wholly funded the reconstruction, rehabilitation of the following roads: Matugga-Semuto-Kapeeka (41kms); Gayaza-Zirobwe (30km); Kabale-Kisoro-Bunagana/Kyanika (101 km); Fort Portal- Bundibugyo-Lamia (103km); Busega-Mityana (57km); Kampala –Kalerwe (1.5km); Kalerwe-Gayaza (13km); Bugiri- Malaba/Busia (82km); Kampala-Masaka-Mbarara (416km); Mbarara-Ntungamo-Katuna (124km); Gulu-Atiak (74km); Hoima-Kaiso-Tonya (92km); Jinja-Mukono (52km); Jinja- Kamuli (58km); Kawempe-Kafu (166km); Mbarara-Kikagati- Murongo Bridge (74km); Nyakahita-Kazo-Ibanda-Kamwenge (143km); Tororo-Mbale-Soroti (152km); Vurra-Arua-Koboko- Oraba (92km). 2 We are also, either planning or are in the process of constructing, re-constructing or rehabilitating

  • Promoting Forest Restoration in the Greater Albertine Zone; “A Path to Recovery and Well-Being.”
    Promoting Forest Restoration in the Greater Albertine Zone; “A path to recovery and well-being.” Introduction Forests cover one third of the Earth's land mass, performing vital functions around the world. Approximately 1.6 billion people - including more than 2,000 indigenous cultures - depend on forests for their livelihoods, medicines, fuel, food and shelter. Uganda‘s diverse forest ecosystem is important for both nature conservation and human development through the water cycle and soil development. These forests are a required partner for the agricultural sector, the country’s backbone However, the country continues to suffer from unprecedented rates of deforestation and forest degradation despite concerted efforts by government and non-government actors to protect and restore forest cover. Overall, the country has been losing on average 122,000 ha/year of forest every year from 1990-2015 with greatest loss in the country estimated at 250,000 ha of forests per year between 2010 and 2015 (MWE 2016). The rate of forest cover loss has serious repercussions on the Environment, human lives and livelihood security of many Ugandans. For the most part, this unprecedented loss of Uganda’s forest cover is attributed to the expansion of human settlements, agriculture and increased demand for extractive forest products like charcoal, timber and firewood. These primary factors are as a result of secondary factors like; weak implementation of forest governance laws and policies, weak institutions mandated to protect natural resources and rapid population growth rate. The country’s forest cover reduced from 4.9 million hectares on private land where an estimated 2.6 million hectares’ forests were lost between 1990 and 2015.

  • Uganda Leadership Pioneers Cohort 1: AMR BACKGROUND: UGANDA LEADERSHIP PIONEERS
    Uganda Leadership Pioneers Cohort 1: AMR BACKGROUND: UGANDA LEADERSHIP PIONEERS The Uganda Leadership Pioneers programme is the first of its kind in Uganda; developing leaders at the frontline of the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to drive change at their health facilities. In February 2020, 16 leaders from the public sectors in Uganda and the UK came together for a five day workshop to develop their leadership skills and co-create low cost innovation ideas to combat AMR. In teams, professionals from the National Health Service (NHS) UK, Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation Uganda and five hospitals in Rwenzori Region received leadership training from the Cross Sector Leadership Exchange (CSLE), and visited 29 health facilities across the region to understand the day-to-day challenges AMR places on the Ugandan health system. The teams developed robust action plans to improve AMR stewardship across five hospitals, which received endorsement from five District Health Officers and four Medical Superintendents during a productive presentation and brainstorm session on the final day of the workshop. When implemented, the action plans will place these five hospitals as forerunners in the fight against AMR in Uganda. “As a leader, I am inspired to find solutions, solutions I can work on and inspire others to believe in. We need to leverage what we have to achieve the solutions we want to achieve; we have to be pioneers. ” - Dr. Simon Seguya, Pharmacist, Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital THE CONTEXT: AMR IN UGANDA “Without urgent, coordinated action by many stakeholders, the world is headed for a post- antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill.” ~ Dr Keiji Fukuda, WHO Assistant Director-General for Health Security Antimicrobial resistance is a growing health threat globally.
