Box 5498 Kampala, Uganda. #Corresponding author e-mail addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Disability is a common occurrence in many countries and a subject of much discussion and lobby. People with disability (PWD) are frequently segregated in society and by-passed for many opportunities. Stigma hinders their potential contribution to society. Doctors with Africa CUAMM, an Italian NGO, started a project to improve the life of PWD in the West Nile region in north- western Uganda in 2003. An orthopaedic workshop, a physiotherapy unit and a community-based rehabilitation programme were set up as part of the project. This ex-post evaluation found that the project made an important contribution to the life of the PWD through its activities, which were handed over to the local referral hospital for continuation after three years. The services have been maintained and their utilisation has been expanded through a network of outreach clinics. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) workers mobilise the community for disability assessment and supplement the output of qualified health workers in service delivery. However, the quality of care during clinics is still poor on account of large numbers. In the face of the departure of the international NGO, a new local NGO has been formed by stakeholders to take over some functions previously done by the international NGO, such as advocacy and resource mobilisation.

  • South Sudanese Refugee Project Gulu, Kampala & Arua, Uganda
    South Sudanese Refugee Project Gulu, Kampala & Arua, Uganda University of Maine Tessa Lilley, Ana Eliza Souza Cunha, Camilla Horton, Emma Paradie, Emma Freeman, Ellie Damuck and Taylor Delp; United States of America. University of Maine partnersforworldhealth.org Section I. The goals of this project were to provide clinical education and medical resources to the South Sudanese currently seeking refuge in Uganda. These goals were executed by providing primary care and prenatal education to pregnant women, and supplying the refugee camp health clinics with medical supplies. The South Sudanese Refugee Project was funded solely by the Davis Foundation’s Project for Peace program. Partners for World Health, University of Maine Chapter is a group of students from the University of Maine partnering with the non-profit organization Partners for World Health in Portland, Maine. Last year, Partners for World Health became aware of the scarcity of medical aide in the Imvepi Refugee Camp located in Northern Uganda. There is a massive influx of refugees fleeing their homeland due to civil conflict, and now the resources of the Imvepi Refugee Camp are being stretched to the limits. After hearing how desperate the settlement was in need of medical supplies, Partners for World Health pledged to provide supplies and educational assistance. The influx of refugees come from political discrepancies which sparked the ongoing violent civil war in South Sudan. There are now approximately 2.4 million refugees that have fled and are now seeking asylum in Uganda. Uganda’s generous refugee policies has allowed over 800,000 South Sudanese; and therefore, the sheer number of people needing medical attention is overwhelming the resources.

  • Rubaga Municipality
    FOREWORD This Slum Settlement Profile comes at an opportune time – a time when the city of Kampala is experiencing unprecedented growth in the history of Uganda. This growth and expansion is visible through the mushrooming of informal settlements across the different divisions of Kampala, especially in the low-lying areas of the city. This expansion has definitely exerted enormous pressure on land, with the poor occupying open spaces and the rich pushing the poor out of settlements for commercial and more formalised developments. The urban infrastructure (services and utilities) has not been spared as many residents demand for better quality water, sewer/ sanitation facilities, electricity, roads, security, and proper solid waste management systems. While the city still grapples with serving the existing communities, there are thousands that are flocking to the city in search of employment opportunities and better services. The invisible challenge for both the city and the communities has been lack of data/ information concerning the informal settlements, leading to a very wide gap between the plans and the priorities for the slum residents. The variables looked at in this Slum Profile include, among other factors, Security of Tenure, Housing, Water and Sanitation, Economic Activities, Accessibility, Drainage, and Solid Waste Management. Perhaps, the most outstanding and profound aspect is that this Slum Profile is not a collection of information from lawyers, teachers, doctors, or academicians, but rather ideas from the real slum dwellers who interface with the day-to- day challenges of slum life.
