PROTECTION OF OUR INDEPENDENCE THROUGH PROMOTION OF PATRIOTISM, UNITY, AND HARD WORK. 1 UGANDA MEDIA CENTRE | OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT hoped will form the basis for policy focus and formulation over the next five years in line with the National Development Plan II, and Uganda Vision 2040. The stated goal over the next five year term is that Uganda should attain the Middle income status by 2020, meaning majority of Ugandans should each be earning on average at least 1200 US dollars annually, or approximately 100 USD (350,000/=) monthly, which is achievable with focused hard work and collective efforts by all. The imperative, therefore, is that all leaders from household level, communities, NGOs, and government institutions must gear themselves to strategies that will tackle the sixty-eight (68%) households, most of them in rural and peri-urban areas who are still in subsistence, peasant, informal and irregular President Museveni has spoken bitterly about public officials economy to enable them enter who take bribes especailly from investors. the formal money economy government tasks are clearly where they can earn regular electioneering in 2021.

I know it’s been years I of hard work, mistakes, disappointments and prayers and finally here we are. So, bravo Uganda Cranes, you made history and your contribution needs to be celebrated in every sense of the word. The 38 year old curse in no more! We are free! Whatever happens here after is secondary in my opinion. Needless to say, go bring the Cup home. As we celebrate our 54th Independence Anniversary, like the Uganda Cranes, may we never give up on our dreams no matter how long it takes. May we be able to dress up and show up for our country whenever we are called upon. May we value hard work and team work no matter where we are. I pray that we learn to unite and exude patriotism like we do whenever Uganda Cranes is playing. Imagine what that would do for our country. This corruption that’s lagging us behind would have no place in our midst. I imagine we would be way past the middle income status we are dreaming of because we would be doing everything for the good of our country. Unfortunately the patriotism stops at Nambole and we quickly go back to our selfish selves doing things with no consideration PUBLISHED BY: for our neighbors. Like the theme suggests lets all value work Uganda Media Centre and love our country enough to make it a better place for those P.O.Box 2665, Kampala coming after us.

Abstract Although Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) has dominated Uganda’s political scene for over three decades, the capital Kampala refuses to submit to the NRM’s grip. As opposition activism in the city has become increasingly explosive, the ruling elite has developed a widening range of strategies to try and win urban support and constrain opposition. In this paper, we subject the NRM’s strategies over the decade 2010-2020 to close scrutiny. We explore elite strategies pursued both from the ‘top down’, through legal and administrative manoeuvres and a ramping up of violent coercion, and from the ‘bottom up’, through attempts to build support among urban youth and infiltrate organisations in the urban informal transport sector. Although this evolving suite of strategies and tactics has met with some success in specific places and times, opposition has constantly resurfaced.

  • Bigwala Mus Ic and Dance of the Bas Oga People
    BIGWALA MUSIC AND DANCE OF THE BASOGA PEOPLE written by James Isabirye 2012 Background The Basoga are Bantu speaking people who live in southeastern Uganda. They are neighbors to the Baganda, Bagwere, Basamia, Banyoli and Banyoro people. The Basoga are primarily subsistence agricultural people. "Bigwala” is a Lusoga language term that refers to a set of five or more monotone gourd trumpets of different sizes. The music of the trumpets and the dance performed to that music are both called “Bigwala”. Five drums accompany “Bigwala” music and they include a big drum “Engoma e ne ne ”, a long drum “Omugaabe,” short drum “Endyanga”, a medium size drum “Mbidimbidi” and a small drum “Enduumi ” each of which plays a specific role in the set. Bigwala heritage is of significant palace / royal importance because of its ritualistic role during burial of kings, coronations and their anniversaries and stands as one of the main symbols of Busoga kingship. When King Henry Wako M uloki passed away on 1st September 2008, the "Bigwala" players were invited to Nakabango palace and Kaliro burial ground to perform their funeral function. 1 During the coronation of late king Henry Wako Muloki on 11th February 1995; the Bigwala players performed their ritual roles. It is important to note that Busoga kingdom like all others had been abolished in 1966 by the Ugandan republic government of Obote I and all aspects its existence were jeopardised including the Bigwala. The Kingship is the only main uniting identity which represents the Basoga, offers them opportunity to exist in a value system, focuses their initiatives to deal with development issues with in the framework of their ethnic society and connects them to their cherished past.

CA is practiced in many parts of the world for its benefits to soil and ability to improve yields, among others. There is little documented information on the status of CA adoption in the Lango region in mid-Northern Uganda. This study aimed at determining the extent of CA adoption in relation to the socioeconomic status of the farming population and suggesting relevant strategies for accelerating CA uptake specific to this region. A non-discriminative snowball-sampling technique was used to gather data from 417 households spread over three districts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using household questionnaires. Farmers’ uptake of CA was related to information gained from training and the benefits that were observed in their fields. Some farm-level constraints in the region included the diminutive ratio of shared tools and equipment; the minimum presence and involvement of extension services; and seasonal rural markets that are dominated by middlemen.

    Request for Expression of Interests (Consulting Services) FOR ECONOMIC AND SECTOR WORK ON AGRICULTURAL VALUE CHAIN STUDY IN UGANDA Agriculture sector in Uganda is a key sector and also will remain the main economic base of the country. As a result, future rate of poverty reduction, overall economic growth, social development and political stability of the country will depend on the growth trajectory of the sector. The President of Uganda, His Excellency, Yoweri Museveni, has recently called for the transformation of Agriculture in Uganda from subsistence to a commercial oriented sector. The end result of agricultural transformation in Uganda are millions of would be thriving small-, medium, and large-scale agribusinesses in every segment of agricultural value chains. In order to better understand the growth potentials and constraints of the agriculture sector and optimize its intervention in the sector, the Bank aims to conduct agricultural value chain study. The main tasks of the study are to prioritize, select and conduct a detailed value chains analysis of priority agricultural commodities. The findings of the study will serve as a guide to design the Ugandan Agricultural Transformation Agenda (UATA), investment direction of the Bank and other development partners. Promoting agriculture and agro-industry/business is recognized as one of the most effective ways to drive inclusive growth and reduce poverty.
