Kabarole District Forestry Office Archives KABAROLE DISTRICT FORESTRY OFFICE ARCHIVES The Archives of the Forestry Office, Kabarole District The archives of the Forestry Office are of considerable interest to anyone interested in the natural or environmental history of eastern Africa. Since the onset of colonial rule in the late 19th century government has set aside large tracts of land as state-run forests, including Bwindi, Budongo, and the Rwenzori Mountains National Park. The Forestry Office was responsible for the care and management of these large tracts of territory. In this archive are papers concerning the bureaucracy of natural resource management. But there is also rich material for natural scientists: records on rainfall, on vegetation, on wildlife, on soil and other matters. Until 2010 the archive was kept in an attic above the local government building (called ‘Boma’), under a leaky roof. The papers were an extremely bad state: the cardboard boxes in which they were kept had been inhabited with wasps, and many boxes had been subjected to rain. In 2012 the district government agreed that the Forestry Office papers should join the larger archive held by Mountains of the Moon University. With funding from the Cooperative Africana Materials Project, the University of Michigan and other donors, the collection was moved to the University’s premises, where the dusty files were cleaned, organized, catalogued and scanned. The greatest bulk of this considerable archive (consisting of over 500 boxes) is of course from the Forestry Office. There are also stray files from other government offices of Kabarole District which have been catalogued with this collection. The cataloguing of the Kabarole District Foresty Office Archive was conducted in 2012 and 2013 by Mr. Akugizibwe Moses, Mr. Kimbugwe Adolph, Mr. Musinguzi Sylvester, and Ms. Baryabuza Anna, working under the district of Mr. Evarist Ngabirano.

He has reported from various countries in Africa, Europe and most recently in Asia, where he observed African migrants struggling to make a living in Hong Kong as part of a Wits China-Africa Reporting Project tour.

When a Chinese consortium won a concession to revive production at the Kilembe mines in south western Uganda, which had stopped operating in 1982, he applied for a Wits China-Africa Reporting Project grant to find out what the investment would mean for the locals and for Uganda.

Vice President Edward Ssekandi, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda, I was informed that there is a Budgeting Conference going on in Kampala. My campaign schedule does not permit me to attend that conference. I will, instead, put my views on paper regarding the next cycle of budgeting. As you know, I always emphasize prioritization in budgeting. Since 2006, when the Statistics House Conference by the Cabinet and the NRM Caucus agreed on prioritization, you have seen the impact. Using the Uganda Government money, since 2006, we have either partially or wholly funded the reconstruction, rehabilitation of the following roads: Matugga-Semuto-Kapeeka (41kms); Gayaza-Zirobwe (30km); Kabale-Kisoro-Bunagana/Kyanika (101 km); Fort Portal- Bundibugyo-Lamia (103km); Busega-Mityana (57km); Kampala –Kalerwe (1.5km); Kalerwe-Gayaza (13km); Bugiri- Malaba/Busia (82km); Kampala-Masaka-Mbarara (416km); Mbarara-Ntungamo-Katuna (124km); Gulu-Atiak (74km); Hoima-Kaiso-Tonya (92km); Jinja-Mukono (52km); Jinja- Kamuli (58km); Kawempe-Kafu (166km); Mbarara-Kikagati- Murongo Bridge (74km); Nyakahita-Kazo-Ibanda-Kamwenge (143km); Tororo-Mbale-Soroti (152km); Vurra-Arua-Koboko- Oraba (92km). 2 We are also, either planning or are in the process of constructing, re-constructing or rehabilitating

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.

  • Uganda Decentralization: Governance Adrift | 3
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 11, Issue 4 | Summer 2010 Decentralization and Conflict in Uganda: Governance Adrift TERRELL G. MANYAK & ISAAC WASSWA KATONO Abstract: This study examines the challenges that threaten one of Africa’s most ambitious experiments in political, administrative and fiscal decentralization. Based on extensive interviews with local government leaders throughout Uganda, the research uncovered a complex interplay of conflicts that impact decision-making effectiveness. The sources of these conflicts center around (a) the impact of national politics on local government as the country approaches the 2011 election, (b) the inability to meet rising citizen demand for services as the tax base of local governments continues to erode, (c) the corrosive impact of social conflicts stemming mostly from poverty and illiteracy complicated by tribal and ethnic differences, and (d) the challenges of developing honest and effective leadership in local government. Can Uganda unravel this web of conflicts to bring meaningful governance to this young nation? Indeed, many countries within the developing world are watching this experiment with a great deal of interest. Introduction The Uganda experiment in local government was born out of a blend of idealism and practical necessity. The idealism arose from a nation that dedicated itself to building democracy after years of brutal despotism. The practical necessity came from the need to provide basic services in an environment where local government had essentially disintegrated. The result was a multilayered system of directly elected district and lower local councils with significant responsibilities for delivering basic services. The international community strongly supported this action and hailed it as an example of how other developing countries should proceed with nation-building.1 While the local government system was initially well accepted, Ugandans now appear increasingly disenchanted with the corruption, mismanagement, and bitter political conflicts that are regularly reported in local newspapers.
