Of the funds received OGT received the biggest share with 35% and the others were average save for donations and local revenue which performed below average at 17% and 10% respectively. The low outturn on especially local revenue was caused by under staffing at the LLG level and lack of a revenue mobilization motor vehicle. At closure of the quarter, the district had managed to transfer shs.5.6bn leaving a balance 376m on the general fund account and at the closure of the quarter the District had spent 5 bn leaving a balance of shs 519m on the respective Department account. There was low absorption capacity most especially in water but overall the performance was good. At 91%. The biggest challenge the District faces is the understaffing at the LLGs and unfulfilment of modalities of funds access on Page 2 Local Government Quarterly Performance Report Vote: 582 Buikwe District 2012/13 Quarter 1 Summary: Overview of Revenues and Expenditures vulnerable groups which has made awarding of works move at a slow pace which has caused delays in the contract awards and hence leaving the District with unspent balances Page 3 Local Government Quarterly Performance Report Vote: 582 Buikwe District 2012/13 Quarter 1 Summary: Cummulative Revenue Performance Cumulative Receipts Performance Approved Budget Cumulative % Receipts Budget UShs 000's Received 1.

This brought a deficit of 15% to the expected receipts. The deficit was caused by among other reasons, low staffing at the LLGs,lack of a motor vehicle for revenue mobilisation and under staffing at the Procurement and disposal unit which makes awarding of contracts take long.Therefore, this indicates that the District wont be able to realise its set targets for the qtr. (ii) Cummulative Performance for Central Government Transfers In the 1st qtr, the District received shs 5.4bn this making almost 100% of the expected quarterly out turn.

  • The Least Cost Generation Plan 2016

    The Least Cost Generation Plan 2016

    THE LEAST COST GENERATION PLAN 2016 – 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the Authority developed a 5 year Least Cost Generation Plan (LCGP) that covered the period 2013 to 2018. An update of the LCGP has been undertaken covering a 10 year period of 2016 to 2025. The update involved review of the load forecast in light of changed parameters, commissioning dates for committed projects, costs of generation plants, transmission and distribution system investment requirements. In the update of the plan, similar to the Power Sector Investment Plan, prepared by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, the ”Econometric Demand” forecasting method was used at distribution level to forecast Commercial, Medium Industry and Large Industry customer category demand. A bottom up approach was used for Domestic customer category using the end-user method. A Base Case, Low Case and High Case scenario were developed for sensitivity analysis. The resultant demand forecast was 6.5%, 3.6% and 12% growth rate in energy demand for the Base Case, Low Case and High Case scenarios respectively. This growth rate is lower than the projection in the 2013 LCGP of 10%, 5% and 14% for Base Case, Low Case and High Case respectively. A number of energy supply options were considered including Hydro, Peat, Solar PV, Bagasse Cogeneration, Wind and Natural Gas. The planned supply considered already existing, committed and candidate generation plants/projects with their estimated commissioning dates aligned. We note that more than 80% of the generation will come from hydro. 1 In the demand supply balance, Figure E1 shows the demand and supply balance over the planning period.

    Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development journal homepage: http://aessweb.com/journal-detail.php?id=5005 Improving Rural Livelihood through NERICA Farming: An Inquiry into Najja Sub-county in Central Uganda Dan Makosa and Nagatada Takayanagi Department of Agricultural Economics, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Sakuragaoka, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan Abstract New Rice for Africa (NERICA) was introduced in Uganda to help rural farmers in improving their livelihood in terms of income and food security. Using the livelihood impact analysis technique, this study sought to assess the role of NERICA in improving rural livelihood by (i) understanding the production environment (ii) exploring the marketing opportunities and challenges and (iii) highlighting the changes in livelihood outcomes. The findings indicate that upland varieties are cultivated mainly in lowland areas and rural farmers prefer early maturity attribute to high productivity. Milling places also double as selling points where buyers and sellers meet. Selling milled rice fetches more profits than paddy. The most popular asset purchased from NERICA proceeds is land. The main challenges to production and marketing are inadequate extension service and high transport costs respectively. Keywords: NERICA farming, Uganda, rural livelihood, rice marketing, livelihood impact analysis Introduction1 service reforms aimed at improving the livelihood of people in terms of income, Like in the rest of the developing world, food security and socio-economic status Ugandan farmer‟s livelihood remains in a (MAAIF, 2005). Promotion of NERICA miserable state. Agriculture, a main source (New Rice for Africa), which was first of livelihood, is subsistence characterized by developed by African Rice Center, is one of use of rudimentary tools, poor quality seeds, the initiatives adopted in this context.

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.

    INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL COMPLIANCE REVIEW REPORT ON THE BUJAGALI HYDROPOWER AND INTERCONNECTION PROJECTS June 20, 2008 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The IRM Compliance Review Panel could not have undertaken and completed this report without the generous assistance of many people in Uganda and at the African Development Bank. It wishes to express its appreciation to all of them for their cooperation and support during the compliance review of the Bujagali Hydropower and Interconnection projects. The Panel thanks the Requesters and the many individuals from civil society and the communities that it met in the Project areas and in Kampala for their assistance. It also appreciates the willingness of the representatives of the Government of Uganda and the projects’ sponsors to meet with the Panel and provide it with information during its visit to Uganda. The Panel acknowledges all the help provided by the Resident Representative of the African Development Bank in Uganda and his staff and the willing cooperation it has received from the Bank’s Management and staff in Tunis. The Panel appreciates the generous cooperation of the World Bank Inspection Panel which conducted its own review of the “UGANDA: Private Power Generation Project”. The Compliance Review Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel coordinated their field investigations of the Bujagali projects and shared consultants and technical information during this investigation in order to enhance the efficiency and cost effectiveness of each of their investigations. While this collaboration between the Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel worked to the mutual benefit of both parties, each Panel focused its compliance review on its own Bank’s policies and procedures and each Panel has made its own independent judgments about the compliance of its Management and staff with its Bank’s policies and procedures.
