Salaam - Mikocheni RC Kampala Naalya RC of Kampala South We am pleased to introduce the team with whom we are going to work with in this Rotary Year 2019/2020 where Rotary CONNECTS the World. 1 As we waited at John F. Kennedy InternaƟonal Airport in New York City, Gay and I took a walk to people watch. We went from one end of the terminal to the other and back, looking at every gate, every desƟnaƟon, every group of people waiƟng for their ŇŝŐhts. Each gate was its own island of humanity. When we walked down the center of the concourse, we were in New York, moving along with everyone in one river. But when you veered oī into those seats, you leŌ that current and landed on an island. You were already in Delhi or Paris or Tel Aviv. As we started our walk, I thought: “All these diīerent people, all these diīerent countries, all in one place. This is like Rotary!” But as we walked past gate aŌer gate, I realized something. It was not like Rotary at all. Because everyone in that river was heading for an island. And every island stayed an island. The people heading to Taipei might be talking to one another, but they were not talking to the people heading to Cairo or Lagos. Contrast that with Rotary. Rotary allows us to connect with one another, in deep and meaningful ways, across our diīerences. It connects us with people we would never otherwise have met, who RI President July Message are more like us than we ever could have known. It connects us with our communiƟĞƐ͕ to professional opportuniƟĞƐ͕ and to the people who need our help. MARK DANIEL MALONEY President, Rotary International ConnecƟon is what makes the experience of Rotary so very diīerent from walking along that concourse Dear fellow Rotarians and members of the family of at JFK Airport. In Rotary, none of us is an island. All Rotary, of us are in Rotary together, whoever we are, wherever we are from, whatever language we speak I love to travel! I even enjoy the mundane process of or tradiƟons we follow. We are all connected to one geƫng from here to there. But last year, my wife, another — part of our communiƟĞs and members Gay, and I had one of those experiences that would not only of our clubs, but also of the global strain the optimism of even the most cheerful community to which we all belong. traveler. We found ourselves with six hours to wait, at an airport where we were not scheduled to be, on This connecƟon is what lies at the heart of the Rotary a day we had not planned sƟůl to be traveling, having experience. It is what brings us to Rotary. It is why woken up that morning at a hotel unknown to us the we stay. Please join your fellow Rotarians on this night before.

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.

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.
