KANUNGU BFP.Pdf Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 519 Kanungu District Structure of Budget Framework Paper Foreword Executive Summary A: Revenue Performance and Plans B: Summary of Department Performance and Plans by Workplan C: Draft Annual Workplan Outputs for 2015/16 Page 1 Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 519 Kanungu District Foreword This budget frame work paper focuses on pertinent issues like staff development, proper planning at household level for purposes of utilizing the scarce resources within the District. It has been prepared following the fiscal decentralization strategy that empowers local governments to plan for themselves. A number of consultative meetings have been held including holding of the district budget conference that enabled different stakeholders to contribute ideas of the planned development in the District. It has been driven by the approved district development plan. The priority interventions for 2015-2016 are those that will directly or indirectly contribute to the district vision of having a transformed district with educated population, clean environment, good health and sustainable livelihood projects at every house hold by 2040. The district strategies for poverty reduction will focus on improving critical areas that satisfy people’s basic needs. Focus will mainly be in investing in Agriculture, education, health, roads, and tourism development, however, due to the district revenue constraint, the key to development lies on improving revenue generation and also in expenditure prioritization and value for money. The District will continue to focus on revenue enhancement strategies such as promotion of public - private partnership and also promoting accountability and transparency. The target resources are Grants from Central Government, Donor funds and Local revenue. These resources are meager and I therefore appeal to all Stakeholders, development partners, technical staff, Nongovernmental Organizations, Community Based organizations for concerted efforts and resource commitment in order to realize what has been prepared in this budget framework paper for 2015/2016. We would like to recognize all those who participated in the discussion of this budget frame work paper when they attended the District budget conference at the District head quarters. The budget frame work paper focused on attaining outputs that will contribute to wealth creation for all and in realization of the development theme of Refocusing development on the poor I wish to recognize the contribution of the Donor support to the District especially those funded by USAID, UNICEF and UNFPA for their contribution both in cash and in budget support especially in the areas of health, community, production, education and administration. The off budget support from development partners of: SDS-Programme, STAR-SW, SUNRISE OVC, MARIE STOPES UGANDA, Community Connector and , international fertilizer development centre for the potato project, LADA in environment, and JIICA will be directed to administration, Finance, health, community based services and production. Please accept my humble regards.

The underperformance was mainly due to hotels tax, liquor license, market charges, business registration, miscellaneous and business license due to delays to sign agreements of the service providers for the financial year 2014/2015. The discretionary funds under central government transfers performed poorly at 14% due to hard to reach allowance that was integrated in salary. The central government conditional grants performed at 22 % with most of the grants performing at 15% except salaries for primary teachers, secondary teachers and ex-gratia for political leaders. The reasons being that ex-gratia for LC1 and LC 11 chairpersons has not been paid as it is paid once a year and for salaries there was delay by the ministry of Public service to clear recruitment of primary teachers. On other government transfers the over performance of 42% was that there was a release for conduction population and household census that was not budgeted for. On part of donor the performance was due to funding from UNFPA that released more money as it releases on calendar basis and UNICEF where we received funds that had not been budgeted for Out of the realized funds to the District worth 6,079,730,000 shs, a total of shillings 6,052,649,000 was released to operational departments which is 99.6% of the realized funds for the quarter. Shillings 27,018,188 for local revenue were still on the general fund by the end of the quarter. As regards the expenditures in the departments, shillings 5,827,794,000 was utilized making it 96%utilisation capacity. Only 67% of the development funds realized for the quarter was utilized. This was so because of the delays of the evaluation committee to evaluate the works for contracts committee to award the projects on time. Planned Revenues for 2015/16 The district projects to receive a total of 25,995,265,000 shillings for the financial year 2015/2016. The Local revenue will contribute 2.74% to the total district budget; donors will contribute 3.3% while 93.96% of the entire budget is expected from the central government transfers. There has been a slight decline in the projected revenues as compared to the financial year 2014/2015 of 3.35% due to the decline of revenues from the Town council as a result of revising the property tax down wards due to resistance to pay by the property owners and due to a slight decline on Central government transfers s compared to the financial year 2014/2015 due to other central Government transfers. The reason being that there has been a reduction of 400,000,000 from the Uganda Road Fund that was received last year for the tarmacking of one km in butogota town council that has know been stopped Expenditure Performance and Plans 2014/15 2015/16 Approved Budget Actual Proposed Budget Expenditure by UShs 000's end Sept 1a Administration 1,484,051 354,323 1,446,834 2 Finance 571,441 760,732 531,003 3 Statutory Bodies 659,573 91,479 624,039 4 Production and Marketing 822,343 269,349 808,413 5 Health 4,712,845 1,229,122 4,695,520 Page 3 Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 519 Kanungu District Executive Summary 2014/15 2015/16 Approved Budget Actual Proposed Budget Expenditure by UShs 000's end Sept 6 Education 14,970,566 2,502,922 14,965,956 7a Roads and Engineering 1,581,521 282,955 1,168,734 7b Water 416,129 94,986 401,566 8 Natural Resources 451,094 26,300 152,745 9 Community Based Services 996,430 150,232 971,139 10 Planning 109,644 13,660 127,158 11 Internal Audit 121,758 42,316 102,158 Grand Total 26,897,396 5,818,375 25,995,265 Wage Rec't: 14,237,228 3,099,483 14,088,641 Non Wage Rec't: 9,610,526 2,286,182 9,029,725 Domestic Dev't 2,188,947 279,599 2,016,205 Donor Dev't 860,694 153,111 860,694 Expenditure Performance in the first quarter of 2014/15 Out of the realized funds to the District worth 6,079,730,000 shs, a total of shillings 6,052,649,000 was released to operational departments which is 99.6% of the realized funds for the quarter.

Planned Expenditures for 2015/16 The overall expenditure allocations to departments have not changed much from those of financial year 2014/2015. There has only been slight changes in the Roads sector where allocations have declined due to the decline of funding from UNRA of funding the tarmcking of butogota town. Another decline of 62% was in the natural resources department due to the UWA revenue funds that are released once in two years and have been budget for in this financial year 2014/15 and not in 2015/2016.

The impacts of climate change will have disproportionate effects on populations with higher existing vulnerability. Indigenous people consistently experience higher levels of FI than their non-Indigenous counterparts and are more likely to be dependent upon land-based resources. The present study aimed to understand the sensitivity of the food system of an Indigenous African population, the Batwa of Kanungu District, Uganda, to seasonal variation. Design: A concurrent, mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) design was used. Six cross-sectional retrospective surveys, conducted between January 2013 and April 2014, provided quantitative data to examine the seasonal variation of self-reported household FI. This was complemented by qualitative data from focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews collected between June and August 2014. Setting: Ten rural Indigenous communities in Kanungu District, Uganda.

O. Box 7062, Kampala Uganda. 2Uganda Bureau of Statistics, P.O. Box 7186, Kampala 3Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development P.O. BOX 7069, Kampala ABSTRACT: Like other countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda is not an exception to the effects of land use/cover changes on the environment. Specifically the study intended to; determine the magnitude and trend of land use/cover changes in Kanungu District for the last 35 years. A series of Landsat TM/ETM ortho- rectified satellite imagery of 1975, 1987 and 1999 were classified using unsupervised classification procedures in ILWIS 3.3 software to determine the magnitude and trend of land use/cover changes. A total of 65 local residents were randomly selected for questionnaire administration with the help of village leaders to examine the underlying drivers of land use/cover change. The results showed that the magnitude of small scale (Non-uniform) farming largely increased by 5% from 1975 to 1999 while areas covered by Tropical high forest relatively decreased by 16% between 1975 and 1987 but slightly increased by 1% in 1999. The areas covered by wetlands comparatively increased by 4% from 1975 to 1987 and by 1999 they slightly decreased by 3%.

McGriff2 and Christine L. Moe2 Abstract Background: Health facility deliveries are generally associated with improved maternal and child health outcomes. However, in Uganda, little is known about factors that influence use of health facilities for delivery especially in rural areas. In this study, we assessed the factors associated with health facility deliveries among mothers living within the catchment areas of major health facilities in Rukungiri and Kanungu districts, Uganda. Methods: Cross-sectional data were collected from 894 randomly-sampled mothers within the catchment of two private hospitals in Rukungiri and Kanungu districts. Data were collected on the place of delivery for the most recent child, mothers’ sociodemographic and economic characteristics, and health facility water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) status. Modified Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) for the determinants of health facility deliveries as well as factors associated with private versus public utilization of health facilities for childbirth. Results: The majority of mothers (90.2%, 806/894) delivered in health facilities. Non-facility deliveries were attributed to faster progression of labour (77.3%, 68/88), lack of transport (31.8%, 28/88), and high cost of hospital delivery (12.5%, 11/88).
