The planning stands on the overall National Vision and the theme that focuses on socio economic transformation. In regards, highlights have been given on the Sub County Development Plan and its attachment to the DDP in line to the National Development Framework giving priority to the objectives and link to the NDPII. Struggle to develop the plan was the effort of very many stakeholders that is to say, politicians, technocrats, CSOs, and other development, development concerns and priorities were generated right from the villages, parishes and then to the sub county level. From the villages, the priorities were then sorted and forwarded to the parishes and then incorporated into the parish development and forwarded to the sub county with feedback linkages to the villages. The sub county council incorporated the parish plans during the budget conference and forwarded the below the budget priorities to the district. The sub county vision, is A Transformed and Empowered community from a Peasant to a Modern and Prosperous sub-county within 30 years. Mission: To deliver equal services for men and women and other vulnerable groups for wealth creation and inclusive growth. The decision of what and when to deliver or serve the people, resource mobilization and management; effective coordination, networking and linkage with all development partners and stakeholders; participatory community mobilization; and integrated and complementary approach to the plan implementation is strongly recommended. More so, this plan looks on enhancing food security and nutrition by strategies that address banning factors affecting food situation in the Sub County. In my capacity, as the Chairman of the Sub County council, I dully commit to handle the operation and maintenance of its facilities in order to ensure that they all remain effective and efficient in working condition for a long time. Finally, I wish to echo council‟s full commitment to achieving the objectives engulfed in the Plan for the next five years.

The plan adds on the achievements registered under the 1st Nebbi Sub- County Development Plan (NSCDPI) and take into account the challenges encountered and lessons learnt during its implementation. The plan prioritizes key development opportunities and fundamentals pointed out in the National Vision 2040. It is expected to maximize development benefits and increase efficiency in resource utilization. The theme of Nebbi Sub County Development Plan One (NSCDPI)The plan was instrumental in streamlining planning along medium to long term targets as a basis for development planning and financing Mission: To deliver equal services for men and women and other vulnerable groups for wealth creation and inclusive growth. Challenges to NSCDPI Low prioritization and sequencing of projects and interventions leading to inefficient utilization of resources Limited financing options due to low revenue both local and donor funding Weak public sector management, including a weak decentralized public service delivery system, procurement delays and corruption. Limited involvement of Non-Governmental Organizations and CBOs and the stakeholders in planning and implementation of the plan. Limited integration of cross-cutting issues in sectoral plans, programs and projects, key of these being Gender, Environment, Nutrition and HIV/AIDS. This is due to lack of synergies and coherence across sectors on what priorities to take on. Limited cooperation of the community in response to the development outcomes The Second Nebbi Sub County Development Plan (NSCDPII) now comes in with the theme “Strengthening community Competitiveness for Sustainable Wealth Creation, Employment and Inclusive Growth” for the people of Nebbi Sub County” The main goal of NSCDPII is to attain a middle income status by 2020. This goal will be realized through four strategic objectives namely 1. Increase Sustainable Production, Productivity and Value Addition in Key Growth Opportunities 2. Increase the stock and quality of strategic infrastructure to accelerate the Sub County‟s competiveness 3. Enhance Human Capital Development 4. Strengthen Mechanisms for Quality, Efficient and Efficient Service Delivery The NSCDPII has been designed basing on the vision, mission and strategic objectives as below VISION: “A Transformed and Empowered community from a Peasant to a Modern and Prosperous sub- county within 30 years” 6 NEBBI SUB COUNTY FIVE YEARS DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2015-2020 MISSION STATEMENT: “To deliver equal services for men and women and other vulnerable groups for wealth creation and inclusive growth” Strategic Objectives To improve the quality of learning and teaching in Primary and Post Primary institutions through provision of conducive learning and teaching environment in all learning institutions To improve safe water and safe sanitation coverage through the development of surveyed water points, mobilize and support communities in the use of approved sanitary facilities To enhance good governance and security through building the capacity of men and women vulnerable groups to participate in the planning, Implementation, monitoring and evaluation developments interventions To improve access to quality health services through building the capacity and supporting community own resource persons and Improve household incomes through maintaining community access roads and feeder road supporting profitable agricultural production, sustainable use of natural resources and enhancing people‟s access to credit and income generating activities.

    CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA:: 7(3) 180-198 UMU Press 2009 CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA: EX-POST EVALUATION OF A PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTED BY DOCTORS WITH AFRICA CUAMM Maria-Pia Waelkens#, Everd Maniple and Stella Regina Nakiwala, Faculty of Health Sciences, Uganda Martyrs University, P.O. 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.

    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA NEBBI DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT PRODUCTION AND MARKETING STATISTICAL ABSTRACT FOR FY 2011/2012 By Production Directorate Nebbi District Local Government July, 2012 Foreword The need for agricultural statistics cannot be overstated. It is vital for evidence-based planning and tracking of progress in the sector. Nebbi district production directorate has over the years been engaged in the collection of data at different levels in all the subsectors. However, the data was scattered within the individual departments and local governments and also lacking in some details. Because of this, the directorate undertook an effort to update and consolidate all the existing data/information and publish an Abstract. The information in this Abstract is derived from surveys conducted by the District Production Directorate, District Planning Unit, Records from sub counties, Censuses from UBOS and Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. The Abstract is divided into seven sections providing information/statistics on the following sectors; crops, livestock/veterinary services, fisheries, entomology (Apiculture), marketing and NAADS and General Information on Nebbi district. We sincerely hope that information in this Abstract will be useful to our stakeholders. Utmost care was taken to compile this information, however, comments from stakeholders on any gaps or vital information that is lacking will be welcomed.

    University of Nebraska - Lincoln DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal) Libraries at University of Nebraska-Lincoln Spring 2-23-2021 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices Jane Kawalya [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac Part of the Library and Information Science Commons Kawalya, Jane, "The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices" (2021). Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 5073. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/5073 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices By Jane Kawalya (PhD) 1.0 BACKGROUND The idea of establishing the NLU started in 1997. Kawalya (2009) identified several factors which led to the establishment of the NLU. Before the enactment of the National Library Act 2003, Uganda had a national library system composed of Makerere University Library (MULIB) and the Deposit Library and Documentation Center (DLDC), which were performing the functions of a national library. Meanwhile the Public Libraries Board (PLB) was performing the functions of a national library service. However, due to the decentralization of services, according to the Local Government Act 1997, the Public Libraries Act 1964 was repealed thus weakening the PLB. The public libraries were taken over by the districts which left the PLB with few functions. There was therefore a need for an institution to take over important functions which had been carried out by the PLB. It was also realized that the few responsibilities would lead to the retrenchment of the PLB staff at the headquarters.
