I am extremely grateful for the constant guidance and assistance I received from both supervisors: Dr. Samuel Baker Kucel of Makerere University, Uganda, and Professor Lena Trojer of Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden. Special gratitude is extended to Arua District Local Council which unreservedly offered buildings for housing the ICT Research Center in Arua town. In this regard, Mr. Saibo Kamilo (the Vice Local Council V Chairman), Mr. Stanley Adrabo (formerly the Deputy Chief Administration Officer) and Mr. Dawin Dawa (the District Information Officer) deserve to be individually recognized for their close collaboration with me throughout the period of the study in the District. It will not be fair if I do not recognize the leadership of the two advanced-level sec- ondary schools for offering the female students who participated in the hybrid e-learning project. Special thanks go to the headmistresses of both schools: Sr. Susan Ndeezo of St. Mary’s Ediofe Girls, and Mrs. Margaret Ayiseni of Muni Girls. ey fully participated in the integration of e-learning in their schools. I acknowledge the invaluable contribution made by SchoolNet Uganda and Makerere College School; an elite secondary school in Kampala. SchoolNet Uganda helped to develop ICT pedagogic skills of science teachers in the project schools. It also donated a server with pre-loaded science content for use by both the students and their teachers. e server was used for setting up the digital library for the participating students. Mr. Daniel Kakinda, the Executive Director, SchoolNet Uganda deserves special recognition for this support. Senior teachers of Makerere College School developed content for the hybrid e-learning project. Special thanks go to Mr. Kato Dennis, Head of Department of Physics, Mr. Sairo Sulaiman, a senior Mathematics teacher and Ms. Jennifer Nalule Bbosa, a Physics Laboratory Technician. It is my pleasure to thank the following staff of Blekinge Institute of Technology for the various supports they rendered to me while in Sweden: Mr. Peter Giger, Dr. Pirjo Elovaara, Dr.Peter Ekdahl, Mr. Silvio Ocasic, Anita Carlsson and Ms Madeleine Persson. From the faculty of Technology, Makerere University, I would like to thank all the col- leagues in the faculty for their useful academic interaction throughout the four years of the research activities. Lastly, I am also indebted to my family especially my wife Ms Christine Alanyo and children (Felix Langol, Atim Joan, Mwaka Stephen, Aredo Joy Goretti and Okot Samuel) for tolerating my long absence from home during the study period. 8 9 Table of Contents Abstract 14 Introductory Remarks 16 PART I 17 CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 25 1.1 Background to the Study 25 1.1.1 Some Remarks about Uganda 25 1.1.2 Regulation of the Education Sector in Uganda 26 1.1.3 Enrolment by Gender for Engineering Courses in Makerere University 27 1.1.4 Policy Interventions for Improvement of Female Students Participation in Makerere University 30 1.1.5 Research Area Location 31 1.1.5.1 Arua District 31 1.1.5.2 Situational Analysis of Muni and Ediofe 33 1.1.6 Attempts by the Ministry of Education to Improve Science and Mathematics Education in Uganda 41 1.1.6.1In-Service Secondary Teacher Education Project 41 1.1.6.2 Support to the Education Strategic Investment Plan Project 42 1.1.6.3 Uganda Post-Primary Education and Training Project 43 1.1.6.4 Repairs to Formerly Top Schools 44 1.1.6.5 Government to Build Teachers Houses 44 1.1.6.6 Strategic Investment in Education 44 1.1.6.7 Secondary Science and Mathematics Training Project 44 1.1.6.8 Minimum Requirements of Examination Centres by UNEB 45 1.1.6.9 UNEB O-Level Syllabus Amended 45 1.1.6.10 Some Concluding Remarks 45 1.2 Research Problem Statements and the Research uestions 46 1.2.1 Problem Statements 46 1.2.2 e Research uestions 47 1.3 Objectives of the Study 47 1.3.1 Main Research Objective 47 1.3.2 Specific Research Objectives 48 1.4 Scope of the Study 48 1.5 Ethical Considerations 49 8 9 CHAPTER TWO: CONTEXTUAL

    CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA:: 7(3) 180-198 UMU Press 2009 CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA: EX-POST EVALUATION OF A PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTED BY DOCTORS WITH AFRICA CUAMM Maria-Pia Waelkens#, Everd Maniple and Stella Regina Nakiwala, Faculty of Health Sciences, Uganda Martyrs University, P.O. Box 5498 Kampala, Uganda. #Corresponding author e-mail addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Disability is a common occurrence in many countries and a subject of much discussion and lobby. People with disability (PWD) are frequently segregated in society and by-passed for many opportunities. Stigma hinders their potential contribution to society. Doctors with Africa CUAMM, an Italian NGO, started a project to improve the life of PWD in the West Nile region in north- western Uganda in 2003. An orthopaedic workshop, a physiotherapy unit and a community-based rehabilitation programme were set up as part of the project. This ex-post evaluation found that the project made an important contribution to the life of the PWD through its activities, which were handed over to the local referral hospital for continuation after three years. The services have been maintained and their utilisation has been expanded through a network of outreach clinics. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) workers mobilise the community for disability assessment and supplement the output of qualified health workers in service delivery. However, the quality of care during clinics is still poor on account of large numbers. In the face of the departure of the international NGO, a new local NGO has been formed by stakeholders to take over some functions previously done by the international NGO, such as advocacy and resource mobilisation.

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.

    FIVE YEARS OPERATION OF A LEPROSY CONTROL SCHEME 2 J9 Report on Five Years of Operation of a Leprosy Control Scheme in the West Nile District of .Uganda DR. E. H. WILLIAMS Kuluva Hospital, Arua, Uganda In the latter half of J 958 the West Nile District Council introduced Bye-Laws to control leprosy. Basically these were very simple, consisting of rules to compel people thought to be suffering from leprosy to attend fo r examination and diagnosis, and to make it compulsory fo r persons diagnosed as having leprosy to attend fo r treatment. There were also provisions to try and segregate people with the more infective fo rms of leprosy, termed 'contagious cases'. These rules being in the fo rm of Bye­ Laws there was of necessity a punishment inserted, namely a fine of ten shillings only. This fine has been applied on relatively fe w occasions. These Bye-Laws were introduced to a background of one large lepro­ sarium with 400 places at Kuluva, one small leprosarium at Wandi, and 3 outpatient clinics. In order to implement the Bye-Laws a Committee of local Government Medical Officers and Mission Doctors met and agreed to increase the number cf outpatient clinics to all the Government Dis­ pensaries in the West Nile. In this way an immediate potential coverage of the population to nine-tenths was effected. A uniform system of regis­ tration, examination and treatment with Dapsone of all patients was worked out. From the result of two surveys carried out by the Leprologist of Uganda, DR. J.
