Fighting HIV and AIDS in Uganda
Fighting HIV and AIDS in Uganda Approximately 34 million men, women, and children today suffer from an illness that was unknown just 20 years ago. That illness is HIV/AIDS. Almost 70 per cent of the global total of HIV-positive people live in sub-Saharan Africa. Whilst in Europe and North America, AIDS is often perceived to be a disease of minorities, such as gay men or injecting drug users, in Africa it is the opposite. AIDS has affected millions of households, and the principal means of transmission is heterosexual intercourse. In the last 20 years, millions of people have died, and AIDS is now the most common cause of death amongst adults in Africa. Because AIDS tends to be most prevalent amongst the working population - those between 15 and 50 years of age - it causes poverty and destitution for their families and dependents. Uganda was one of the first countries in Africa to be hit by AIDS. Originally called 'slim' because of the wasting effect it has on the body, it was the subject of fear and superstition when it first appeared in the early 1980s. In this climate, the government of William seeking help from Uganda took an unusual and brave step. At a time when HIV and AIDS Kitovu Hospital's mobile health programme in 1991. Dying of were still poorly understood, and considered by some to be a 'deviants' AIDS, he was desperate to find plague', the Minister of Health travelled to the World Health Assembly in someone who would look after 1986 and spoke publicly about the extent and nature of AIDS in Uganda. -

Effect of Selected Insecticide on Whitefly
Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development journal homepage: http://aessweb.com/journal-detail.php?id=5005 Improving Rural Livelihood through NERICA Farming: An Inquiry into Najja Sub-county in Central Uganda Dan Makosa and Nagatada Takayanagi Department of Agricultural Economics, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Sakuragaoka, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan Abstract New Rice for Africa (NERICA) was introduced in Uganda to help rural farmers in improving their livelihood in terms of income and food security. Using the livelihood impact analysis technique, this study sought to assess the role of NERICA in improving rural livelihood by (i) understanding the production environment (ii) exploring the marketing opportunities and challenges and (iii) highlighting the changes in livelihood outcomes. The findings indicate that upland varieties are cultivated mainly in lowland areas and rural farmers prefer early maturity attribute to high productivity. Milling places also double as selling points where buyers and sellers meet. Selling milled rice fetches more profits than paddy. The most popular asset purchased from NERICA proceeds is land. The main challenges to production and marketing are inadequate extension service and high transport costs respectively. Keywords: NERICA farming, Uganda, rural livelihood, rice marketing, livelihood impact analysis Introduction1 service reforms aimed at improving the livelihood of people in terms of income, Like in the rest of the developing world, food security and socio-economic status Ugandan farmer‟s livelihood remains in a (MAAIF, 2005). Promotion of NERICA miserable state. Agriculture, a main source (New Rice for Africa), which was first of livelihood, is subsistence characterized by developed by African Rice Center, is one of use of rudimentary tools, poor quality seeds, the initiatives adopted in this context. -

This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question. -
