The field day included a visit to the field by the senior policy makers to meet FFS farmers where the farmers explained what they learned, their innovations and how they expanded their production and improved their income. The participants then visited the exhibition booths set by over 12 BBW FFS from the different districts where the farmers showed their various products. The programme also included a parade with a music band undertaken by over 200 persons representing the FFS members (10 from over 12 FFS) and pupils of several schools in the parish, lunch, drama, dance and song performances done by the FFS members and finally the speeches by the Ministers, Members of Parliaments, and representatives of FAO–Uganda, BBWCI and of the FFS (photos).

During the press conference, Hon. Minister of State for Animal Industry Mr Rwamirama reconfirmed that, based on the directions of the President of Uganda, the NAADS in its new re-structuring will adopt the FFS in all its programmes and activities. Final Workshop 12 August 2008 A final workshop was prepared with the aim of setting the stage for the follow-up actions needed in the country for the sustainability of the project activities and the FFS, and the incorporation of the FFS approach in the NAADS structure. In preparation of the final workshop, a meeting was held at FAO- Uganda office on 11 August 2008 and was attended by each Mr Okaasai (Commissioner for Production), representatives of NAADS, crop protection of MAAIF and BBWCI. The opportunities and constraints of adopting and integrating the FFS approach in the NAADS programme were discussed to identify the best mechanisms for such a adoption in a smooth way without conflicting with present structure of NAADS while maintaining the quality of the FFS. Guidelines were prepared for a road map of progressive areas and activities that could be incorporated with the present NAADS structure. The Final Workshop was held on 12 August 2008 in Hotel Equatoria in Kampala. It was attended by over 40 participants representing various districts (Lira, Mbarara, Kiboga, Kamuli, Mukono, Isingiro, and Kiruhura), MAAIF, NARO, donors NGOs and the press.

He noted that farmers use only 30% of the available technology to improve their yields. “A lot of technologies have been generated by NARO (National Agricultural Research Organisation and other research agencies but only 30% have been taken by farmers despite the efforts by NAADS (National Agricultural Advisory Services) and local governments in reaching the farmers,” he said. The remarks were contained in a speech read by the state minister for animal industry, Maj. Bright Rwamirama, during the national farmers’ field day at Kanyantura Primary School in Mbarara district on Friday. The day, marked under the theme Food Security and Prosperity through Farmers Field Schools, attracted farmers from five field school pilot districts of Mbarara, Kamuli, Lira, Kiboga and Mukono to share experiences. The field school approach is a community-based and practice-oriented field study process bringing together groups of farmers under the guidance of an expert throughout the production cycle. As a result, it has emerged that farmers have improved their organisation and management skills in the 100 field schools countrywide, mainly focusing on fighting the bacterial banana wilt disease. The disease was first reported in Mukono and Kamuli districts in 2001 and since spread throughout the country.

    2005/11 November 2005 Documents Statistics Norway Division for Development Cooperation and Uganda Bureau of Statistics Astrid L. Mathiassen, John B. Musoke, Peter Opio and Per Schøning DocumentsEnergy and Poverty A feasibility study on statistics on access and use of energy in Uganda Astrid L. Mathiassen, John B. Musoke, Peter Opio and Per Schøning Energy and Poverty A feasibility study on statistics on access and use of energy in Uganda Abstract The overall Uganda Policy on eradication of poverty as well as the energy specific policy includes strategies and targets for how to develop energy access and use. Numerous indicators are developed with the objective of providing a tool for monitoring of how well the policy targets are achieved. Timely and reliable information from statistical and administrative sources is urgently needed in order to determine these indicators and thereby to enable for monitoring of policy impacts and guidance for further development. This paper documents the findings and gives recommendations from a study with the objective to assess the available energy related statistics in Uganda in an attempt to link energy statistics to the country's poverty situation. The study was undertaken by Statistics Norway (SN) in close cooperation with the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) during a SN mission to UBOS May 23rd to June 10th, 2005. The Norwegian Government funded the project. The study identifies at least 4 major challenges to overcome: 1) To assemble and harmonize already existing information on energy from a multitude of sources and make it more easily accessible to the users. 2) To further improve the specification of parameters collected in order to fill possible gaps of information and to ensure a core set of information with regular intervals of updates that links the statistics to the policy indicators.

On y trouve les symboles suivants: les rides à la surface de l’eau pour la durabilité, le bleu pour l’eau, et le jaune pour le soleil et la chaleur de l’Afrique. Les bandes bleues représentent la nature mondiale de cet événement. TABLE DES MATIÈRES Messages de bienvenue................................... Remerciements....................................

Une chaleureuse bienvenue en Ouganda et à la COP9 Le Gouvernement ougandais a le privilège d’accueillir la 9e Conférence des Parties à la Convention de Ramsar (COP9). C’est un honneur particulier pour l'Ouganda car c’est la première fois que cette Conférence se réunit sur le sol africain. Au nom du Gouvernement et du peuple ougandais, je souhaite chaleureusement la bienvenue aux délégués et au personnel de conférence venus du monde entier, en espérant que chacun saura apprécier son séjour ici. Outre l'ordre du jour important de la Conférence, je voudrais saisir cette occasion pour vous inviter à connaître l’autre face de l'Ouganda. Prenez le temps de découvrir nos paysages superbes, notre riche culture et l'hospitalité traditionnelle des Ougandais.
