It is a response to specific challenges faced in delivering protection and achieving social and economic development for both refugee and host communities. It supports the Government of Uganda’s integration of refugees into the National Development Plan II (NDPII, 2015/16–2019/20), through the Settlement Transformation Agenda (STA), thereby making refugees part and parcel of the development agenda of Uganda. ReHoPE is a key component in the application of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), as stipulated in the New York Declaration on Refugees and Migrants (19 September 2016). It is a key building block of a comprehensive response to displacement in Uganda, led by the Government of Uganda and the United Nations (UN), in partnership with the World Bank, donors, development partners, national and international nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), civil society, and the private sector, among others. This approach to delivering protection and social and economic development is envisaged to equally serve all refugees while they are in Uganda as well as when they eventually return to their countries of origin. ReHoPE forms a critical component of Pillar Three of the Ugandan CRRF model, with its focus on resilience and self- reliance. The principles of ReHoPE are reflected in various country partnership strategies. For example, they have been integrated into the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2016–20. UN agencies initiated the implementation of ReHoPE principles in 2016, building on the progressive rights environment and the settlement approach. Further development of the strategy to expand stakeholder engagement and ensure an area-based approach is being funded through the UN–World Bank Partnership Trust Fund. This strategy outlines key objectives, challenges, and the process by which ReHoPE will foster a comprehensive response in refugee-hosting areas. Through nine core principles, ReHoPE will seek to address the humanitarian and development needs of refugee-hosting districts in Uganda, with key roles for all stakeholders based on their comparative advantage and on the principles of partnership. Through the CRRF secretariat, there will be a focus on knowledge management, the development of harmonised tools and approaches, and implementation support to deliver on a comprehensive response to displacement impacts.

On the one hand, rural–urban migration can contribute to the socioeconomic development of a country. On the other hand, it also leads to labor transfer, brain-drain in rural areas, and overcrowded cities where planning is lagging behind. In order to get a better insight into the mechanisms of rural–urban migration in developing countries, Citation: Tumwesigye, S.; this paper analyzes motivations for rural–urban migration from the perspective of rural households Hemerijckx, L.-M.; Opio, A.; Poesen, in Uganda.

National Population and Housing Census Area Specific Profiles - Isingiro District FOREWORD Demographic and socio-economic data are useful for planning and evidence-based decision making in any country. Such data are collected through Population Censuses, Demographic and Socio-economic Surveys, Civil Registration Systems and other Administrative sources. In Uganda, however, the Population and Housing Census remains the main source of demographic data, especially at the sub-national level. Population Census taking in Uganda dates back to 1911 and since then the country has undertaken five such Censuses. The most recent, the National Population and Housing Census 2014, was undertaken under the theme ‘Counting for Planning and Improved Service Delivery’. The enumeration for the 2014 Census was conducted in August/September 2014. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) worked closely with different Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as Local Governments (LGs) to undertake the census exercise.

  • Gender Relations and Matooke Production in Western Uganda A.M

Gender relations and Matooke production in Western Uganda A.M. Rietveld, S. Ajambo and E. Kikulwe All authors are affiliated with Bioversity International-Uganda and the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) Introduction Banana (Musa spp) is an important crop in Uganda (Kalyebare et al., 2007). Although a traditional crop for hundreds of years in Uganda’s central region, banana’s omnipresence in the rest of the Uganda’s (semi-) humid zones is relatively recent (Bagamba et al., 2008). In most parts of Western Uganda, where the crop is dominant in the landscape, it is hard to imagine farming systems without banana. However, it is only in the last 3 decades that banana, notably the cooking cultivars referred to as Matooke, got widely adopted by farmers in south-western Uganda (Gold et al., 1999) and became the main source of household income (Bagamba et al., 2008; Kalyebare et al., 2007). Matooke currently accounts for 51% of the land under cultivation in the south-west (Bagamba et al., 2008) and produces 68% of the Matooke on the Ugandan market. The rapid increase of land under Matooke in South-Western Uganda has been driven by the high demand for the staple crop from rapidly increasing urban populations in the country. This coupled with improved infrastructure and consequently improved market access, created chances for farmers to commercialize.

A slick treacherous monster with a jaw like a furnace incinerating every moment of our lives. Shrinking therefore from facing time, we escape for shelter to things of space.” -- Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man, prologue Eisenstein 3 Abstract This dissertation is an ethnography of pregnancy. In it, I draw on participatory photo, video, and voice recordings produced over the course of twenty-one months of fieldwork with twelve middle-class women (ages 18-28) in a fast-growing urban center in southwestern Uganda. As I consider how pregnancy figures in these women’s narratives and practices of personal and family wellbeing and progress, I argue that pregnancy in Uganda is one part of a broader process of composing a network of care around oneself and one’s (expected) children, and that this is because good health/life (amagara marungi) is understood to spring forth from good relationships. Further, since pregnancy is such a transformational period in one’s life and social relationships, I suggest that it offers a special window into the concerns surrounding kinship and relatedness in contemporary Uganda.
