Health Action in Crisis, Uganda: Weekly Epidemiological Report – Week 32, 4Th – 10Th August 2008 Health Action in Crisis, Uganda: Weekly Epidemiological Report – Week 32, 4th – 10th August 2008 1. Completeness of Reporting All districts in the sub-region had over 80% completeness of Weekly IDSR reporting of which 8 out of 14 districts registering 100% completeness of reporting. Malaria and dysentery still remains the first and second leading cause of morbidity respectively. 2. Disease Trends 2.1 Malaria Diseases In Lango sub-region, Dokolo district registered a 51% increase in the number of cases of malaria in the last one week. See figure I for details. WHO is supporting the District Health Office to verify the data, analyze trend in malaria positivity rate, conduct anti-malarial drug inventory and conduct on job training of clinicians on the management of malaria. In the district of Apac Figure I; Trends of Weekly Clinical Malaria Incidence Rates per 100,000 Population for Districts in Lango Sub-region: 2008 and Oyam, the weekly incidence of malaria 1,400 remains low. 1,200 In Acholi sub region, the weekly incidence of malaria declined slightly in all district except 1,000 Kitgum. The increase in number of cases in Kitgum can be attributed to the fact that in epi- 800 week 32 Kitgum general hospital submitted the 600 weekly IDSR report. Kitgum General hospital contributes a big proportion to the patient load 400 in the district. Note that the second round of IRS Reported Clinical Malaria Cases per 100,000 Population 100,000 per Cases Malaria Clinical Reported has just been completed in Kitgum district and it 200 is on going in Pader. We expect that in the Lira Apac Oyam Dokolo Amolatar 0 coming week, the weekly incidence of malaria in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132 the two districts will soon begin to decline. Karamoja sub-region, the incidence of malaria has been steady over the last 6 weeks. See figure I for details. 2.2 Diarrhoea disease The weekly incidence of diarrhoeal disease in Acholi sub-region continues to drop as a result of the ongoing campaign against Hep E. In Lango sub-region, Figure II; WEEKLY DYSENTERY INCIDENCE BY DISTRICT IN LANGO SUB-REGION: 1st Jan. - 10th 60 August 2008 Lira district continues to report high number of cases of dysentery. See figure II for details. WHO 50 is working with the office of the DHO to map the d cases and do stool culture and sensitivity test at 40 Lira Regional Referral Hospital. In Karamoja sub- regions the weekly incidence of dysentery has 30 continued to decline. 20 Cholera No. of Dysentery Cases Cases Reporte Dysentery of No. 10 The epidemic outbreak of cholera is now under control. In epi-week 32, only 3 suspected cases 0 (2 Mbale and 1 Pallisa district) with no deaths 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132 th EPI DEM I OL OGI CAL WEEK were registered. As of 13 August 2008 the Lira Apac Oyam Dokolo Amolatar cumulative total number of cases was 532 with 31 deaths (CFR 5.8%), 3 patients are on admission at Kasasiri CTC in Pallisa district. Ongoing response to the epidemic includes community mobilization and sensitization, case management, active cases search and coordination of response through weekly NTF meeting at national and district level. The main challenges still remains lack of funds for social mobilization through the radio, poor commitment by the local leaders, and difficulties in enforcing latrine construction especially among families who live near the swamps.

In epi-week 32 of 2008, 232 new cases were registered as compared to 294 new cases registered in epi-week 31. The cumulative number of cases registered in Kitgum district as of 12th August 2008 was 7,122 with 110 deaths (CFR 1.5%). 17 out of 19 sub- counties in Kitgum district have been affected and 72% of the established death was among women. See figure III and IV for details.

During the week, 4 new cases were registered in Gulu/Amuru district, 1 case from Pader district and 2 cases from Lango sub-region. Response to the epidemic include community mobilization and sensitization using radios, community leaders and VHTs, support to construction of latrines, water chlorination and provision of soap for hand washing facilities. There is need to sustain response even after the epidemic to avoid re-emergence of the epidemic especially in districts that are currently reporting high number of cases. WHO continue to provide, technical, financial and logistic support to the district in surveillance, case management and coordination of response. 3. Conclusion The performance in IDSR reporting in all districts was above 80%. The epidemic outbreak of Hepatitis E in Kitgum district is slowly being contained however, there is need to sustain interventions in Padibe, Mucwini, Agoro and Paloga sub-county. The epidemic outbreak of malaria in Lira district and cholera in Eastern Uganda has been contained. 4.

  • Uganda Humanitarian Update
    UGANDA HUMANITARIAN UPDATE MAY – JUNE 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS AMID HEAVY RAINS, HUMANITARIAN ACCESS IN PARTS OF KARAMOJA AND TESO HAMPERED BY DETERIORATING ROAD CONDITIONS OVER 1,000 CHOLERA CASES REGISTERED IN KARAMOJA SINCE APRIL 2010 90% OF IDPS IN NORTHERN UGANDA NO LONGER LIVING IN CAMPS, BUT LAND CONFLICTS AND LANDMINES IMPEDING RETURN IN SOME AREAS II. SECURITY AND ACCESS SECURITY The general situation in Karamoja remained fragile, according to the United Nations Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS). Cattle raids, including on protected kraals, particularly affected Moroto and Kotido, with some resulting in fierce clashes between the Uganda People’s Defence Forces and the raiders. In South Karamoja incidents associated with food distributions involved theft of food and non-food items (NFIs), and attacks on food distributors as well as on food recipients. Following three road ambushes in Alerek sub-county of Abim District during the month, UNDSS issued an advisory limiting UN movement along the Abim-Kotido road to between 09.00Hrs and 16.00Hrs with effect from 28 June 2010. Three civilians were killed in one of those ambushes. In northern Uganda, Amuru District officials and partners carried out a joint assessment in the wake of a violent land dispute that occurred in Koli village of Pabbo sub-county on 23 June. Preliminary findings indicated that one person was killed and several others injured in the dispute involving two clans. Some 40 huts were torched and many members of either clan had fled the village. Also of concern in the region during the reporting period were raids by illegally armed Karamojong, particularly in Pader District.

  • Country Operations Plan
    COUNTRY OPERATIONS PLAN Country: Uganda Planning Year: 2004 2004 Country Operations Plan – Uganda __________________________________________________________________________________________ Part I: Executive - Summary 1.1 Context and Beneficiary Populations UNHCR’s presence in Uganda dates back from the 1960s. Though the earlier arrivals of Rwandan refugees had returned in 1994, the country still hosts 18,500 Rwandans who are residual caseloads of the 1996 repatriation from Tanzania. There are some 5,000 Rwandans who entered Mbarara district of Uganda from Tanzania when the Rwandan refugees were being repatriated from there in 2002. The Government of Uganda has not yet decided their status. The majority of the refugees in the country today are Southern Sudanese hosted in northern Uganda and who number about 172,300 (86%) of the total refugee population of 200,800 as of 28 February 2003. About 8,500 Congolese refugees hosted in the Southwest are from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). There are other smaller groups from Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya that are also being assisted. Sudanese and Congolese refugees are granted status on a prima facie basis, while the status of others is ascertained through individual refugee status determination. Almost all the refugees fled their respective countries of origin because of the civil war and fear of persecution caused by ethnic rivalries and political differences. The Government of Uganda, continues to host refugees from the neighbouring countries. Refugees who are in designated settlememnts are provided with agricultural lands, tools and seeds with the objective of making them self-sufficient. As a result, refugees in the northern settlements have managed to produce a certain percentage of their food requirements, thereby reducing dependence on the food assistance from WFP.

  • 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.

    Emergency appeal n° MDRUG010 Uganda: Epidemics GLIDE EP-2008-000101-UGA 10 July 2008 This Emergency Appeal seeks CHF 947,079 (USD 910,653 or EUR 586,427) in cash, kind, or services to support the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) to assist 425,095 beneficiaries (85,019 households) for six months. CHF 100,000 (USD 96,154, or EUR 61,920), was allocated from the Federation’s disaster relief emergency fund (DREF) to support the start up of cholera response operations. Unearmarked funds to replenish DREF are encouraged. A previous allocation of CHF 173,059 (USD 166,403 or EUR 107,157) from DREF was allocated to URCS to assist communities affected by Hepititis E. The Uganda Red Cross Society is struggling to respond to two simultaneous public health emergencies affecting thousands of people in Text box for a brief photo caption limited to 2 north and east Uganda. The combined effect Choleralines: case referral by community based volunteer who are of the rainy season and the limited access to as well involved in active case search potable water and poor sanitation facilities resulted in an outbreak of cholera in five districts (Mbale, Butaleja Pallisa, Manafwa and Tororo). By 27June 2008, over 388 cases had been reported, with 28 deaths (a case fatality (CFR) of 7.3 percent). In March 2008 the URCS’s Kitgum branch responded to an outbreak of hepatitis E. The spread of this disease is compounded by the living conditions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who are concentrated in congested camps with poor hygienic conditions.
