During this period the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) was involved in key activities in collaboration with other implementing partners as well as the Government of Uganda. These interventions contributed to the containment of the cholera outbreaks in Mbale, Manafwa, Pallisa, Tororo and Butaleja by August 2008 with a cumulative total number of cases registered during the epidemic standing at 535 with 31 deaths (CFR 5.9 percent). However, case management and community mobilization and/or sensitization continued until December 2008 when predisposing factors (environmental hygiene conditions) were all improved. Besides the cholera interventions, the heightened control activities against hepatitis E contributed to a marked reduction in infection rates and mortality whereby, by 22 March 2009, only 51 suspected new cases with one death were registered in the 20 affected sub-counties in Kitgum district.

  • 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.

Socio-economic Working Paper 1 Working Paper A1060/1 Cotton Grower Survey, Pallisa and Kasese Districts, Uganda Alastair Orr Natural Resources Institute Peter Wathum IDEA Godfrey Kayobyo Nkula Development Connsultants March, 2003 Acknowledgements We would like to thank The 120 growers who participated in this survey for their cooperation and patience. Our field researchers in Pallisa: Francis Madoyi Aaron Ojulo Sam Musene Harriet Namuliro Godfrey Kyangu Our field researchers in Kasese: Sunday Felix John Chakola Kule Kamara Kamara Edson Kambere Asaf Bwambale Andrew Aaron Ojulo (Iki-Iki Ginnery, Pallisa) and Denis Kaijabahoire (Nyamatonzi Cooperative, Kasese) for recruitment of field researchers and logistical support Clive Drew, Mark Wood and David Luseesa (IDEA) for logistical support Summary A structured questionnaire survey of 120 cotton-growers from Pallisa and Kasese districts of Uganda was administered during the 2002 cotton-growing season. Of the 120 growers sampled, 62 were demonstrating an improved technology package for cotton on one of their fields. Growers in Pallisa had more land (including fallow) available than in Kasese but planted the same area to cotton. Growers in Pallisa had more physical assets, and a higher share of their cash income was earned off-farm. Growers with demonstration plots were generally better-off, and should not be used as a reference group for future adoption of new technology. Income from cotton in 2001 was higher Kasese than in Pallisa (182,000 and 64,000 shillings, respectively). Intercropping cotton was common in Pallisa but rare in Kasese. Three-quarters of cotton fields in Pallisa were preceded by fallow, compared to under 5 % in Kasese.
