The plan focuses on contributing to the realization of the national vision of transforming the Ugandan society from a peasant to a modern and prosperous country within 30 years. The theme for this development plan is “Sustainable Industrialization for inclusive growth, employment and sustainable wealth creation”. This is in line with Uganda Vision 2040, EAC Vision 2050, Africa Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The overall goal is “To Increase Average Household Incomes and Improve the Quality of Life of the people of Bushenyi District”. This Development Plan was developed using the bottom-up participatory planning process with wide consultation of other key stakeholders, which is in line with government policy on decentralization and in line with National Development Plan III (NDP 2020/2021- 2024/2025). In consultation with Lower Local Governments, Non-Government organizations (RHITES/Star SW, RHU, Health Partners, Uganda Red Cross Society, USAID, etc.), Departments and National Planning Authority (NPA), the district has developed its third Development Plan to align the District developments to the national aspirations as expressed in the National Vision 2040. I urge all players to follow this plan to achieve our vision aspirations by focusing on interventions of; increasing revenue mobilization and identifying other sources of revenue, increasing awareness of the population on key issues of development, promoting sustainable use of natural resources, amplification of microfinance institutions to provide easy access to credit, building capacity of staff through mentoring and training, providing the Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package, integration of gender, HIV/AIDS, human rights and environmental concerns in all development programmes, fostering agriculture commercialization and industrialization through provision of agriculture advisory services, farm inputs and capital, intensifying supervision, monitoring and evaluation of government programmes, strengthening public private partnership, improving and maintaining infrastructure, strengthening accountability and transparency and improving the quality of education and sports. ..…………………………… JAFARI BASAJABALABA DISTRICT CHAIRPERSON iii Bushenyi Local Government DDP III Acknowledgement Bushenyi District Local Government extends its gratitude to all people that were involved in one way or another in the preparation and compilation of this 5 – year development Plan III 2020/2021-2024/2025 without whom it would have been difficult to accomplish.

It was not until early 1990s that, when the Imaramagambo focus of southwest Uganda was mapped, mass treatment with a single annual dose of ivermectin for onchocerciaisis control commenced. However, comprehensive investigations on its transmission were launched after a nationwide policy for onchocerciasis elimination in 2007. Ento- mological surveys throughout the focus from 2007 to 2015 have yielded few or no freshwater crabs (Potamonautes aloysiisabaudiae), which serve as the obligate phoretic host of the larvae and pupae of the vector Simulium neavei.No S. neavei flies have been observed or collected since 2007. Skin snips (microscopy) from 294 individuals in 2008 were negative for skin microfilariae, and of the 462 persons analyzed by polymerase chain reaction skin snip poolscreen in 2009, only five (1.08%) persons were indicated as infected with onchocerciasis.

  • Uganda 2015 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral Parliament in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The three most serious human rights problems in the country included: lack of respect for the integrity of the person (unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (freedoms of assembly, expression, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (sexual and gender-based violence), children (sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, societal or mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, media reported security forces in Apaa Parish in the north shot and killed five persons during a land dispute over the government’s border demarcation.

Abstract Water as it flows through a town is continuously affected and changed by social relations of power and vice-versa. In the course of its flow, it always benefits some, while depriving, or even in some cases harming others. The issues concerning distribution of water are closely intertwined with the distribution of risks, at the crux of which are questions related to how decisions related to water allocation and distribution are made.
