  • 1. Introduction
    1. Introduction 1.1 Background to the Case Study This report presents a case study on bicycles, women and rural transport in Uganda. It is the result of field work carried out in the Mbale and Tororo districts of eastern Uganda during a three-week visit in September 1991. The case study forms part of the Rural Travel and Transport Project (RTTP) of the World Bank- financed Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Program (SSATP), a major research program covering transport in SSA. One aspect of this program is the RTTP, which is designed to focus on transport at the level where it has the most direct influence on economic (particularly agricultural) and social development in rural areas of SSA. One of the key aims of the RTTP is to recommend approaches to the improvement of rural transport services, and to the adoption of intermediate technologies to increase personal mobility and agricultural production. This research is being conducted through Village-Level Transport and Travel Surveys (VLTTS) and related case studies. The World Bank has commissioned the International Labor Organization, in collaboration with I.T. Transport, to execute the VLTTS and the related case studies under the RTTP. 1.2 General Objectives of the Case Study The objective of the case study is to investigate two key aspects of rural mobility and accessibility focusing on: (i) The role of intermediate means of transport (IMT) in improving mobility, and the institutional and implementation policy requirements necessary for developing the use of IMT; and (ii) The role of transport in women's daily lives, - given that a major part of the transport burden falls on women in addition to their substantial agricultural and domestic responsibilities, and the impact of improvements in mobility and accessibility upon women.

    Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) International Research Experience (IRE) for Students and Young Researchers Field report James Wokadala, Doctoral Student Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies (GSCIS), Kobe University Introduction The funding opportunity by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) through International Research Experience (IRE) for students and Young researchers program, with recommendation from Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies (GSICS), Kobe University accorded me the opportunity to undertake Advanced Research in Uganda from 14th August to 23rd October 2011. I arrived in Uganda on 14th August and started field work on 15th August 2011. My field work was related to exploring the efficiency and effectiveness of lower secondary schools in Uganda. This necessitated me to obtain primary and secondary data from various sources at the national, institutional, school and practitioners’ levels as further discussed in the proceeding section. Beautiful view of Kampala city, Uganda Ministry of Education and Sports, Uganda The districts visited included Kampala, Mukono, Bushenyi, Nebbi and Mbale, all representatively selected from the four regions of Uganda. In Kampala city, I visited national education offices such as Ministry of Education and Sports head offices, Uganda National Examination Board offices and Uganda National Bureau of Statistics (UBoS). Field strategies and experiences Answering my study objectives required both qualitative and quantitative approaches to my research, and to an extent primary and secondary data. I was able to collect all this data from various data sources. Possible data sources were Education Management Information System (EMIS) in Ministry of Education and Sports offices located in Kampala city.
