This was done through examining current government initiatives, NGO initiatives, and the current coordination between the two sectors. Special emphasis was given to the role of the Government of Uganda specified in the Ugandan Peace, Recovery, and Development Plan. This study discovered that the Government of Uganda has neglected to take a leadership role on the issue of reintegration. Rehabilitation and reintegration of those returning from the LRA has been almost completely left in the hands of development partners including NGOs. It was determined that a partnership between the government and NGOs is necessary in a post-conflict situation, but the Government of Uganda should take a more leading role in facilitating and coordinating reintegration initiatives within the country.

Although the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has left Uganda for neighboring countries, the Acholi sub-regions still face many post-conflict challenges. One major obstacle to peace in Northern

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.

  • Uganda Humanitarian Update
    UGANDA HUMANITARIAN UPDATE MAY – JUNE 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS AMID HEAVY RAINS, HUMANITARIAN ACCESS IN PARTS OF KARAMOJA AND TESO HAMPERED BY DETERIORATING ROAD CONDITIONS OVER 1,000 CHOLERA CASES REGISTERED IN KARAMOJA SINCE APRIL 2010 90% OF IDPS IN NORTHERN UGANDA NO LONGER LIVING IN CAMPS, BUT LAND CONFLICTS AND LANDMINES IMPEDING RETURN IN SOME AREAS II. SECURITY AND ACCESS SECURITY The general situation in Karamoja remained fragile, according to the United Nations Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS). Cattle raids, including on protected kraals, particularly affected Moroto and Kotido, with some resulting in fierce clashes between the Uganda People’s Defence Forces and the raiders. In South Karamoja incidents associated with food distributions involved theft of food and non-food items (NFIs), and attacks on food distributors as well as on food recipients. Following three road ambushes in Alerek sub-county of Abim District during the month, UNDSS issued an advisory limiting UN movement along the Abim-Kotido road to between 09.00Hrs and 16.00Hrs with effect from 28 June 2010. Three civilians were killed in one of those ambushes. In northern Uganda, Amuru District officials and partners carried out a joint assessment in the wake of a violent land dispute that occurred in Koli village of Pabbo sub-county on 23 June. Preliminary findings indicated that one person was killed and several others injured in the dispute involving two clans. Some 40 huts were torched and many members of either clan had fled the village. Also of concern in the region during the reporting period were raids by illegally armed Karamojong, particularly in Pader District.

    echnology and in Uganda A Digital Rights View of the January 2021 General Elections Policy Brief December 2020 VOTE Technology and Elections in Uganda Introduction As Uganda heads to presidential and parliamentary elections in January 2021, digital communications have taken centre-stage and are playing a crucial role in how candidates and parties engage with citizens. The country's electoral body decreed in June 2020 that, due to social distancing required by COVID-19 standard operating procedures, no physical campaigns would take place so as to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all stakeholders.1 Further, Parliament passed the Political Parties and Organisations (Conduct of Meetings and Elections) Regulations 2020,2 which aim to safeguard public health and safety of political party activities in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and, under regulation 5, provide for holding of political meetings through virtual means. The maximum number of persons allowed to attend campaign meetings was later set at 70 and then raised to 200.3 The use of the internet and related technologies is growing steadily in Uganda with 18.9 million subscribers, or 46 internet connections for every 100 Ugandans.4 However, radio remains the most widely accessible and usable technology with a penetration of 45%, compared to television at 17%, and computers at 4%.5 For the majority of Ugandans, the internet remains out of reach, particularly in rural areas where 75.5% of Ugandans live. The current election guidelines mean that any election process that runs predominantly on the back of technology and minimal physical organising and interaction is wont to come upon considerable challenges.

  • Perceptions and Experiences of Access to Public Healthcare By
    Mulumba et al. International Journal for Equity in Health 2014, 13:76 http://www.equityhealthj.com/content/13/1/76 RESEARCH Open Access Perceptions and experiences of access to public healthcare by people with disabilities and older people in Uganda Moses Mulumba1*, Juliana Nantaba1, Claire E Brolan2, Ana Lorena Ruano3, Katie Brooker4 and Rachel Hammonds5 Abstract Introduction: In the year 2000, a set of eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were presented as a way to channel global efforts into the reduction of poverty and the promotion of social development. A global discussion regarding how to renew these goals is underway and it is in this context that the Goals and Governance for Global Health (Go4Health) research consortium conducted consultations with marginalized communities in Asia, Latin America, the Pacific and Africa as a way to include their voices in world’s new development agenda. The goal of this paper is to present the findings of the consultations carried out in Uganda with two groups within low-resource settings: older people and people living with disabilities. Methods: This qualitative study used focus group discussions and key informant interviews with older people in Uganda’s Kamwenge district, and with persons with disabilities from the Gulu region. Thematic analysis was performed and emerging categories and themes identified and presented in the findings. Findings: Our findings show that a sense of community marginalization is present within both older persons and persons living with disabilities. These groups report experiencing political sidelining, discrimination and inequitable access to health services. This is seen as the key reason for their poor health.
