Established in 1960, IDA offers interest-free credit and grants to the world’s 81 poorest countries- home to 2.5 billion where a majority of the people live on less than 2 US dollars per day. This highly concessionary financing is vital because such countries have little capacity to borrow on market terms. IDA resources and technical assistance supports country- led poverty reduction strategies in key areas, namely increased productivity, better governance and accountability, access to education and healthcare for poor people. P a g e | iii Units and measures Km: kilometre m: metre tpy: tonne per year MWth: Thermal megawatt (unit of heat) Pg: Picogram μ: Micro (1/1000000) Definitions: Dioxins or Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs): are a group of polyhalogenated compounds which are known to be potent human carcinogens (cancer-causing chemical compounds). Dioxins can occur as by-products of incineration of chlorine-containing substances such as chlorine-containing plastics. Incineration: is a waste treatment technology that involves combustion of organic materials and/or substances converting them into incinerator bottom ash, flue gases, and particulates. Flue gases may contain significant amounts of particulate matter, heavy metals, dioxins, furans, sulfur dioxide and hydrochloric acid. Flue gases are therefore cleaned before they are dispersed in the atmosphere. Infectious Waste: This is the portion of medical waste that can transmit disease. On average about 10-15% of medical waste is actually infectious waste. Infectious waste comprises five categories: cultures and stocks, human pathological waste, human blood and blood products and sharps. Hazardous waste: Shares the properties of a hazardous material (e.g. ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity), or other physical, chemical, or biological characteristics that may pose a potential risk to human health or the environment if improperly managed. Hospital Waste: All solid waste, both biological and non-biological, that is produced at a hospital and is discarded without further use. Medical Waste: Materials generated as a result of patient diagnosis and/or treatment or the immunization of human beings. Solid (non-hazardous) wastes: Generally include any garbage, refuse. Examples of such waste include domestic trash and garbage; inert construction / demolition materials; refuse, such as metal scrap and empty containers (except those previously used to contain hazardous materials which should, in principle, be managed as a hazardous waste). Point sources: These are discrete, stationary, identifiable sources of emissions that release pollutants to the atmosphere (e.g. incinerators).

ABSTRACT: Contract farming has expanded in Uganda due to the promotional efforts of various actors: private, public, and/or international aid agencies. While motives for promoting contract farming may vary by actor, it is argued in this study that contract farming is crucial in the commercialization of smallholder agriculture and hence, poverty reduction in Uganda. However, smallholder farmers in Uganda have reportedly experienced some contractual problems when dealing with large agribusiness firms, resulting in them giving up contract farming.

  • Uganda 2015 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral Parliament in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The three most serious human rights problems in the country included: lack of respect for the integrity of the person (unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (freedoms of assembly, expression, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (sexual and gender-based violence), children (sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, societal or mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, media reported security forces in Apaa Parish in the north shot and killed five persons during a land dispute over the government’s border demarcation.

  • Annual Health Sector Performance Report
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA Annual Health Sector Performance Report Financial Year 2006/2007 October 2007 Blank Page Foreword The health sector in FY 2006/07 implemented the 2nd Year of the Health Sector Strategic Plan II (HSSP II). The focus has been on scaling up interventions and consolidating reforms initiated during the HSSP I and in the 1st Year of the HSSP II in order to achieve the Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) objectives and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Uganda Demographic and Health Survey 2006 shows that there have been improvements in Infant Mortality Rate, Under5 Mortality Rate and Total Fertility Rate. The data is not conclusive on Maternal Mortality Ratio. These improvements in health outcomes indicate that it is indeed possible to make a difference in the life of Ugandans. The improvements in health outcomes were contributed to by different sectors; however the contribution of the health sector in terms of stewardship and advocacy, and improved coverage with good quality services for preventive, promotive and curative has been key. The AHSPR 2006/07 documents sector performance against agreed HSSP II indicators and Year II targets. The AHSPR 2006/07 indicates fairly good performance as shown by the performance against the 8 PEAP and HSSP II indicators. The sector performance for FY 2006/07 was on or above target for 3 indicators namely: Couple Years of Protection (CYP) a measure of family planning uptake; Proportion of children below 1 year that have received pentavalent vaccine 3rd dose; and New OPD attendance per capita. Sector performance was below target for 3 indicators namely: Proportion of deliveries taking place in government and PNFP health facilities; Proportion of health facilities with tracer medicines all the time (i.e.

This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question.

Sugarcane syrup is a thick concentrated syrup formed as an intermediate product of the sugar-making process and used as a natural sweetener. Sugarcane syrup is dark golden brown in color, with a slight molasses flavor. It is made by evaporating sugar cane juice for several hours, which converts sucrose contained in sugarcane to an equimolar mixture of glucose, sucrose, and fructose by the process of hydrolysis. As a result a thick concentrated syrup, which is sweeter than sugar is formed. This process is repeated several times, and each time a different type of sugarcane syrup such as liquid sucrose, invert sugar to refiners syrups, are produced depending upon the specific functional requirements of the final products. The syrup is majorly used as a natural sweetener by bakery, dairy, beverages, confectionaries, processed foods, and other industries. It is used to prepare variety of bakery and beverage products such as donuts, biscuits, chocolate, pancakes, cookies, and health drinks & sweetened beverages. They are used as natural preservatives to reduce water activity and also employed in medicines for improving their taste.
