  • Peoples Voice COP21 Uganda
    the People’s voice uganda COMMUNITY PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PEPFAR UGANDA FOR 2021 Introduction: Developing “The People’s Voice” Since 2012, communities of People living with HIV (PLHIV), Key and Vulnerable Populations (KVPs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), under the leadership of the International Community of Women Living with HIV Eastern Africa (ICWEA), the Coalition for Health Promotion and Social Development (HEPS-Uganda) and Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) in collaboration with global partners including Health GAP and AVAC have been monitoring and informing PEPFAR Country Operational Planning (COP) processes. At that time, there were no minimum standards for the meaningful engagement of PLHIV, KVPs and CSOs and discussions with the U.S. government regarding Uganda’s COP would take place only in meetings at the U.S. Embassy. PLHIV, KVP and CSOs worked to ensure that the engagement processes became truly community- owned and community-led. They established a structured calendar, clear expectations of civil society and of PEPFAR Uganda, and a shared focus with PEPFAR Uganda on improving the accountability of the HIV response for communities and CSOs. This is the third edition of The People’s Voice; the first was facilities which are located in 28 districts (see Table A, page 3) published in 20191 and the second in 2020.2 Successes resulting during the CLM pilot phase (August-September 2020) and Focus from these efforts over the years include: introduction and scale Group Discussions (FGDs) with community representatives.

On 19 September, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni declared a state of emergency in the areas flood-affected areas of Eastern Uganda, which was endorsed by Parliament on 25 September. 5. Planning for the humanitarian response to the disaster is based on some 50,000 households, or approximately 300,000 people, being affected by the rainfall and associated flooding.

  • National Tuberculosis Andf Leprosy Program
    NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS AND LEPROSY PROGRAM ACTIVITY REPORT TOUR OF THE DISTRICTS IN THE EASTERN ZONE OF UGANDA 12th to 23rd DECEMBER 2005 Compiled by: Dr. Abel Nkolo Dr. Kalyesubula-Kibuuka Simon, 3rd January 2006 1 Executive Summary Uganda has a population of 27.6 million [1], which is distributed into 69 districts (since July 2005). Efforts to control Tuberculosis started way back in 1965 when a National Tuberculosis Control Program was established. A combined program for TB and Leprosy was conceived in 1988 and the National TB and Leprosy Program started in 1990. Regardless of these efforts, the disease continues to be a threat fuelled by the HIV/AIDS scourge yet TB and HIV collaborative interventions are still in their infancy. Leprosy control has been domain of church based organizations for a long time, who took it as a humanitarian Christian mission [2]. In Uganda significant support has been received from the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy association (ILEP) partners, notably the German (GLRA) and Netherlands (NSL) Leprosy Relief Associations [3]. The NTLP is headed by a Program Manager assisted by nine Senior Medical Officers who are termed as Zonal TB Leprosy Supervisors (ZTLS). Uganda is the 16th of the 22 high-burden countries of tuberculosis (TB) The TB burden in Uganda continues to increase, NTLP notification increased in 2003 3.4% and 6.0% in 2004 when 44,605 cases were detected. In 2004, 46 of the 56 districts continued to detect and report new leprosy case ranging from 1 in Iganga, Hoima, Kabarole, Kyenjonjo and Rukungiri to 82 in Lira district [4].

  • Assessing the Impact of the Peace, Recovery and Development Plan 1 in Northern Uganda
    WE SAW WHAT WAS DONE BUT NOT OUR WILL WAS DONE: ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF THE PEACE, RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1 IN NORTHERN UGANDA © Refugee Law Project, June 2013 The Advisory Consortium on Conflict Sensitivity (ACCS) This report is a product of the Advisory Consortium on Conflict Sensitivity (ACCS), a three member partnership between International Alert, Refugee Law Project and Saferworld. The overall aim of ACCS is to assist the British Department for International Development (DfID) and partners in strengthening the potential of the PRDP to address the causes of conflict in a way that is itself conflict sensitive, and which can contribute to sustainable peace and stability. ACCS has three major objectives: monitoring of the extent to which interventions under the Peace, Recovery and Development Plan (PRDP), particularly those funded under DFID’s Post-Conflict Development Programme (PCDP), succeed or fail in achieving peacebuilding aims (International Alert); contextual analysis of the overall recovery process (conflict indicators, issues and dynamics) and to provide early warning as and when necessary (RLP); and evidence-based advocacy, targeted recommendations, and technical support to improve the recovery and peacebuilding impact of OPM and other PRDP stakeholders (Saferworld). Each con sortium agency leads on one output, supported by the other partners. 2 Acknowledgments This report was authored by an independent consultant, Jamie Hitchen. He is indebted to the work of Martin Kasozi, Dennis Jjuuko and Jimmy Wamimbi who worked tirelessly in collection data from the field and in providing a peer review on the initial draft. Eunice Ouko who provided field contacts for interviews and all ACCS members Jackson Odong, Barnabas Otim and staff of the Conflict, Transitional Justice and Governance Programme at RLP for their support throughout the research.

National Population and Housing Census 2014 Area Specific Profiles – Lira District FOREWORD Demographic and socio-economic data are useful for planning and evidence-based decision making in any country. Such data are collected through Population Censuses, Demographic and Socio-economic Surveys, Civil Registration Systems and other Administrative sources. In Uganda, however, the Population and Housing Census remains the main source of demographic data, especially at the sub-national level. Population Census taking in Uganda dates back to 1911 and since then, the country has undertaken five such Censuses. The most recent, the National Population and Housing Census 2014, was undertaken under the theme ‘Counting for Planning and Improved Service Delivery’. The enumeration for the 2014 Census was conducted in August/September 2014. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) worked closely with different Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as Local Governments (LGs) to undertake the census exercise.
