DREAMS Project Namely Centre for Transformative Parenting and Research (CTPR) and Friends of Christ Revival Ministries (FOC-REV) Strengthening School-Community Accountability for Girls Education (SAGE) Baseline Report, October 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW), community members, and head teachers of the selected public secondary schools for the valuable information that formed the basis for the findings of the baseline study. Likewise, the information provided by the key informants (comprised of District Education Officers, District Health Officers, members of school committees, AGYW, and community members) was equally important in providing an in-depth understanding of the findings; thus, these individuals are appreciated. I extend special appreciation for the efforts of the research assistants and the entire research team for their dedication to collecting the data that informed the baseline study. I wish to acknowledge with gratitude the statistician, Dr. Symon Wandiembe and the qualitative expert, Dr. Elizabeth Nansubuga for their support during the preparation for the survey, data analysis and writing of the baseline report. Further, I would like to thank the individuals who specifically supported the research team in mobilizing the AGYW and community members to participate in the survey. Special appreciation goes to the political leadership of the districts of Ssembabule, Mubende, Oyam, Mukono, Gomba, Bukomansimbi, Lira, Rakai, Mityana, Gulu, Masaka, Apac, and Kayunga where the data collection was undertaken. Special thanks go to the following World Vision management and technical staff for their contribution towards the successful completion of the baseline study: Project Education Specialist, Project M&E Specialist, Regional Program Officers, Project Director, and community stakeholders and partners. The baseline study would not have been possible without financial and technical support of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through John Snow Research and Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) and the rest of the implementing partners on the SAGE-DREAMS project namely Centre for Transformative Parenting and Research (CTPR) and Friends of Christ Revival Ministries (FOC-REV). Further, the field offices of these institutions are appreciated for the support provided during the planning of the survey, data collection and analysis as well as dissemination of the findings. In a special way, I thank the enabling environment provided by the Government of Uganda to undertake the baseline study. Further, the support provided by the Ministry of Education and Sports in contacting and mobilizing the selected public secondary schools to participate in the survey cannot go unmentioned. - Associate Professor Robert Wamala, Makerere University World Vision would also like to express its appreciation of Makerere University team, the Government of Uganda, and the participating AGYW, teachers, community members, and school administration for their support of the study. We would especially like to thank Associate Professor Robert Wamala for directing the study, Rita Laura Lulua for her leadership, Tonny Odong for his direction of the process, and Godfrey Senkaba. We would also like to thank Gloria Ekpo, Shelby Benson, and Alisa Phillips for contributing their technical expertise throughout the baseline process. We are grateful to the supporting World Vision Uganda staff for their dedication to facilitation and contribution to the inputs. This report is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Department of State, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and the Government of Uganda.

Introduction Management of fisheries resources requires information on the fish stocks; the magnitude, distribution and trends of fishing effort and the trends of fish catches. Catch Assessment SUNeys (CAS) in Lake Victoria are one of the ways through which the partner states sharing the lake are generating the key information required. The EU-funded Project, Implementation of a Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP) for Lake Victoria through the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organisation (LVFO) is supporting the implementation of regionally harmonized CAS in the lake, In the Uganda part of the lake, CAS activities are carried out at 54 fish landing sites in the 11 riparian districts. The National Fisheries Resources Research Institute (NaFIRRI), the Department of Fisheries Resources (DFR), and the Districts of Busla, Bugiri, Mayuge, Jinja, Mukono, Wakiso, Kampala, Mpigi, Masaka, Kalangala and Rakai jointly conduct the sUNeys, The CAS enumerators are recruited from the fishing communities and work under direct supeNision of sub-county fisheries officers. I CAS enumerators collecting data Wh"l Catch ASS€SSTn€T\t Surv€"IS? The CAS data are used to estimate Catch per Unit of Effort (CPUE) or Fish catch rates, which, are used together with Fishing Effort information obtained from Frame sUNeys to estimate: 1, The quantities of fish landed in the riparian districts along Lake Victoria; 2, The monetary value of the fish catches; and 3.

    CHAPTER 10 NATURAL AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES The Feasibility Study on the Construction of JICA / MOWT / UNRA A New Bridge across River Nile at Jinja Oriental Consultants Co., Ltd. Final Report Eight - Japan Engineering Consultants INC. 10. NATURAL AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 10.1 Natural Environmental Study 10.1.1 General This Chapter summarizes the initial environmental examination (IEE) for the engineering options (i.e., three route alternatives, named Routes A, B and C, respectively), regarding the study on natural environment, and potential environmental issues associated with the implementation of each alternative option. Firstly, the current baseline of the environmental condition surrounding the study site is described. The study area is located between Lake Victoria and the on-going construction site in Bujagali Dam, so that the current local environmental topics, linking both sites, were also studied. Technical site inspections were carried out in November and December 2008 and February and March 2009. Based on the major findings obtained from the technical site inspections and the review of available reports, the baseline environmental information, regarding the natural environment surrounding the study area, was collected. Based on the baseline environmental information and the engineering features of each alternatives, prepared by the study, the IEE was carried out. Basically, the IEE was carried out in two steps. In the first step, a preliminary IEE for two scenarios was carried out: (i) Do - Nothing scenario, and (ii) Do – Project scenario for all prepared route alternatives (i.e., Routes A, B and C); for which preliminary scenarios analysis was conducted. In the second step, a more detailed, route-specific IEE was carried out using more specific engineering information prepared in March 2009, and possible adverse environmental impacts that may occur during and/after the construction of works for each alternative alignment option was summarized.

    1. Full title of the Project Feasibility Study on the Construction of a New Bridge Across River Nile at Jinja 2. Type of the study Preparatory Study 3. Categorization and its reason Category: A Reason: Every proposed new bridge construction route has a resettlement as a result of this preparatory study. Some proposed route has a slightly large-scale resettlement. And the influence on the existing social infrastructures (e.g. power generation and substation facilities, resort hotel, resort center) is also considered. Therefore, category should be set to A. 4. Agency or institution responsible for the implementation of the project The Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) has been inaugurated on July 1, 2008. The competent authority of the government level is MOWT. However, UNRA serves as a counterpart in actual. Organization chart of UNRA is shown in Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1 Organization Chart of UNRA 5. Outline of the Project (1) Objectives The Republic of Uganda is roughly divided into eastern and western part in the country by the Nile River which flows out from the Lake Victoria. Northern corridor, which borders Kenya on the east side of Uganda, passes Kampala the capital of Uganda and is connected with Tanzania and Rwanda in southwest of Uganda. The Northern corridor is a main artery of the traffic in the East Africa whole region and crosses the Nile River near the Jinja district which located about 80km east from the capital Kampala. For Uganda which is a landlocked country, impassable of the Northern corridor is serious problem on transportation of life substances and traffics etc.
