  • OSAC Health Security Snapshot: Marburg Virus Disease in Uganda
    OSAC Health Security Snapshot: Marburg Virus Disease in Uganda Product of the Research & Information Support Center (RISC) The following is based on open-source reporting. It is designed to give a brief snapshot of a particular outbreak. October 30, 2017 Summary On October 17, the Ugandan Ministry of Health (MoH) notified the World Health Organization (WHO) of a confirmed outbreak of Marburg in Kween District, eastern Uganda (see map), near Mount Elgon National Park, which is popular with tourists. The MoH officially declared the outbreak on October 19 and subsequently responded with support from the WHO and partners, by deploying a rapid response field team within 24 hours of the confirmation. As of October 27, six cases, including three deaths, have been reported. The six cases include one probable case (a game hunter who lived near a cave with a heavy presence of bats), two confirmed cases with an epidemiological and familial link to the probable case, and three suspected cases. Contact tracing with 135 contacts and follow-up activities have been initiated. Social mobilization has been increased by the Rapid Response team working together with the District Leadership to dispel myths and misbeliefs that what is happening is due to witchcraft. School visits, airing of radio spots and talk shows, and distribution of leaflets and posters are also being carried out to inform the population. What is Breaking Out? Marburg virus disease is an emerging and highly virulent epidemic-prone disease associated with high fatality rates (23–90%), though outbreaks are rare. Marburgvirus is in the same family as Ebolavirus, both of which cause hemorrhagic fever in humans.

  • Tdistribution Lines Ibanda, Kazo and Rushere
    2 RP1490 V3 0 1 Public Disclosure Authorized RESETTLEMENT0 ACTION PLAN TDistribution lines Ibanda, Kazo and Rushere RESCO PROPERTY CONSULTANTS Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized RURAL ELECTRIFICATION AGENCY i Executive Summary This Resettlement Action Plan has been prepared for the proposed 33Kv electricity distribution grid-extension and associated low voltage networks in Ibanda (Igorora) - Kazo-Rushere and environs-covering a distance of about 142 Kms and requires a 10 meters wide corridor. The project is under the auspices of the Government’s Rural Electrification (RE) Strategy which is also an integral part of the NDP. The objectives of the RAP were twofold; first was to determine the extent of resettlement impacts associated with the establishment of the distribution lines and put in place measures to mitigate those impacts. The impacts are in relation to land acquisition and the accompanying loss or interruption of livelihoods of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs). Second was to carry out consultations with relevant stakeholders including potentially affected persons to obtain their views and suggestions regarding the social impacts of the proposed project and measures to cover the losses. This report presents the findings of the socioeconomic studies which are used together with findings of the physical survey and valuation to propose a course of action. Efforts have been made to minimize resettlement arising from the project as well as disruption of livelihoods during construction including keeping the width of the corridor to a minimum of 10 meters which will consequently keep the geographical extent to a minimum, limiting restriction of land use to improvements taller than six meters (vertical clearance) which will enable continued habitation of structures along the corridor.
