  • 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.

  • Case Study of Rufuuha Wetland, Ntungamo District
    Land Restoration Training Programme Keldnaholt, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland Final project 2018 ASSESSING THE PERCEPTION OF FRINGE COMMUNITIES ON WETLAND MANAGEMENT IN UGANDA: CASE STUDY OF RUFUUHA WETLAND, NTUNGAMO DISTRICT Dinnah Tumwebaze Ntungamo District Local Government P.O Box 01 Ntungamo [email protected] Supervisor Victor Pajuelo Madrigal SVARMI [email protected] ABSTRACT To ensure the health and wellbeing of the human population, wetlands should be managed sustainably to continue the services they provide and the justifiable exploitation of the earth’s resources. Cautious action needs to be directed towards the maintenance of the significant support systems of the ecosystem services on the globe, such as wetlands. This study aimed to assess the perception of fringe communities on the management of the Rufuuha wetland, Ntungamo District in south-western Uganda. The methodologies used in this study included simple random sampling. Results indicated that the state of Rufuuha wetland has been notably influenced by a lack of awareness of the wetland laws and regulations and a high local illiteracy level on sustainable wetland management. There is a need for sensitization of the community and an encouraging bottom-up approach in formulation and implementation of wetland laws. Key words: Perception, fringe community, wetland management, Ntungamo District.

    LAND USE CHANGE AND SOIL DEGRADATION IN THE SOUTHWESTERN HIGHLANDS OF UGANDA Simon Bolwig A Contribution to the Strategic Criteria for Rural Investments in Productivity (SCRIP) Program of the USAID Uganda Mission The International Food Policy Research Institute 2033 K Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20006 September 2002 Strategic Criteria for Rural Investments in Productivity (SCRIP) is a USAID-funded program in Uganda implemented by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with Makerere University Faculty of Agriculture and Institute for Environment and Natural Resources. The key objective is to provide spatially-explicit strategic assessments of sustainable rural livelihood and land use options for Uganda, taking account of geographical and household factors such as asset endowments, human capacity, institutions, infrastructure, technology, markets & trade, and natural resources (ecosystem goods and services). It is the hope that this information will help improve the quality of policies and investment programs for the sustainable development of rural areas in Uganda. SCRIP builds in part on the IFPRI project Policies for Improved Land Management in Uganda (1999-2002). SCRIP started in March 2001 and is scheduled to run until 2006. The origin of SCRIP lies in a challenge that the USAID Uganda Mission set itself in designing a new strategic objective (SO) targeted at increasing rural incomes. The Expanded Sustainable Economic Opportunities for Rural Sector Growth strategic objective will be implemented over the period 2002-2007. This new SO is a combination of previously separate strategies and country programs on enhancing agricultural productivity, market and trade development, and improved environmental management.
