These include, the political leadership for their statutory roles and guidance; the District staff for their technical input; the funding sources including the Central Government, Development Partners, the Local Governments and generally, the tax and other revenue payers. By the end of third quarter of 2011/12, the district had received 18.6 Billion shillings out of the approved budget of 24 billion, including supplementary estimates passed during the course of the financial year. Of this, Central government transfers totaled to Shs. 16 billion shillings, support from development partners totaled to 1.02 billion Shillings and local revenue contributed 238 million shillings . By the end of third quarter 14.6 billions had been spent; of which. 7.3 billion was spent on wage, 3.9 billion on non wage expenditure and 3.3 billion on domestic and donor development. More funds were received during the course of the fourth quarter and projects supported by these funds have been accomplished. Whereas the District has been able to receive most of the anticipated funds, it has continued to experienced some difficulties in executing planned activities, especially those that were supposed to be funded from local revenue sources. The distortion has been most grave on the part of the recurrent budget, which was affected by the unplanned pay-out of over Shs. 300 million, in litigation costs. Absorption of such a financial shock necessitated drastic cost- cutting across departments, and this inevitably impacted on service delivery performance. That notwithstanding, budget performance has been generally good, especially on the part of the wage, capital development and other conditional grant budgets. For the Financial Year 2012/13, the district expects to receive a total of Shs. 26 billion. Of this, central government transfers are estimated to contribute Shs. 24.2 billion, which is about 93% of the total projected revenue. Out of this Shs. 11 billion is to cater for salaries and wages, Shs. 6.7 billion for recurrent expenditure and Shs. 6.3 billion for domestic development expenditure. The District expects to raise Shs. 747 million from local revenue and Shs. 1.13 billion from Development Partners. Given these figures, our revenue projections have largely remained static, despite the expected slight increase in local revenue collections. Main donors remain the same and these are; UNICEF, Global Fund, WHO and Baylor College. Although effort has been made to provide for the payment of outstanding and anticipated debts, the fact that local revenue envelope has virtually remained static, implies that the difficulties experienced in the implementation of activities based on local revenue are likely to be carried on into the FY 2012/13. I nonetheless urge all concerned to remain focused and resilient as we brave through the anticipated tough times. We shall, otherwise, remain committed to ensuring that our planned priority activities are executed and achieved, with bear minimum distortion possible. I call for budgetary discipline, as the major underlying obligation, towards the achievement of our planned activities for the Financial Year 2012/13. I thank whoever has made an input in the development of this budget and the related documents HON. RWABUHINGA RICHARD _ DISTRICT CHAIRPERSON HON. RICHARD RWABUHINGA _ DISTRICT CHAIRPERSON.

Central government transfers totalled to 21.5 billions making a contribution percentage of 95%. The rest was from donors and local revenue. Planned Revenues for 2012/13 The district expects to receive a total of 27.2 billion; central government tranfers will contribute 24 billion which is 92% of the total budget. Local revenue will contribute 1.79 billion and the rest will come from donor funding. This year expected revenue tax collection from the 22 local governments has been included in the District estimates; unlike the previous years where only collection at district level was considered thereby resulting into an estimate collection of1.7 billions against the reflected previous years collection of 339 millions.

Planned Expenditures for 2012/13 Page 3 Local Government Workplan Vote: 513 Kabarole District Executive Summary Of the total budget wages and salaries will take 12.8 billion, recurrent expenditure totaling to 7.7 billion, domestic development 5.2 billion and donor development 1.1 billion. The domestic development in education sector will contribute to construction of two classrooms at each of the following schools; Kyatambara Primary school in Kasenda, Kitonzi primary school in Kibiito, Kamabale primary school in Karangura and Kasura Primary school in Buheesi. Under production department main emphasis will be put at increasing house hold income and food security, approximately 2300 farmers will receive improved technologies fron NAADs and the fight aginst banana bacterial wilt will be promoted in all the sub counties. In addition at least one SACCO will be facilitated in each of the sub counties. Under health department four health center II will be constructed and equipped at Nyakitokole zone in Karangura sub county, Rwebijoka in Buheesi sub county, Kakinga in Rwimi sub county an a maternity ward at Nyantabooma health unit in Hakibaale sub county. Under works this financial year the district headquarters will be completed and occupied and 240 kilometers of rural roads will be maintained. Under water 10 shallow wells will be rehabilitated in the sub counties of Bukuuku, Kicwamba and Busoro, 40 primary schools in Kisomoro Buheesi, Kibiito, Kicwamba and Bukuuku sub counties will be provided with a water tap by Kibiito gravity flow scheme, Rutete gravity flow scheme and an extension of Kicwamba gravity flow scheme. Five boreholes will be sighted and drilled in Kicwamba, Kasenda, Ruteete and Karambi sub counties. In community development department 50 new FAL instructors will be trained and materials for instruction will be provided to them Challenges in Implementation The major constraint facing the District is limited funding resulting from dwindling sources of local revenue and reduced funding from donors. To enhance the revenue source the district last year proposed a tax on pozolana transporters but unfortunately the tax was stopped. This tax was intended to help in maintenance of Kicwamaba roads that are highly degraded by the heavy Lorries that transport pozolana. Related to limited funding is the issue of many court cases that have in some incidences led to attachment of district accounts and property. This has not only delayed works but in some cases made activities to stall especially those funded under local revenue and unconditional grant. Banana bacteria wilt and other massive crop and livestock diseases that have had very adverse effects on bananas and livestock have acted as a big setback to local peoples source of income. These are very big challenges to the District administration and this medium term expenditure frame work is geared at finding measures to overcome the challenges.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 5073. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/5073 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices By Jane Kawalya (PhD) 1.0 BACKGROUND The idea of establishing the NLU started in 1997. Kawalya (2009) identified several factors which led to the establishment of the NLU. Before the enactment of the National Library Act 2003, Uganda had a national library system composed of Makerere University Library (MULIB) and the Deposit Library and Documentation Center (DLDC), which were performing the functions of a national library. Meanwhile the Public Libraries Board (PLB) was performing the functions of a national library service. However, due to the decentralization of services, according to the Local Government Act 1997, the Public Libraries Act 1964 was repealed thus weakening the PLB. The public libraries were taken over by the districts which left the PLB with few functions. There was therefore a need for an institution to take over important functions which had been carried out by the PLB. It was also realized that the few responsibilities would lead to the retrenchment of the PLB staff at the headquarters.

  • 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.
