Inline with the Consititution of the Republic of Uganda which mandates Local Governments to prepare comprehensive Development Plans/ Budget Framewor Papers as guiding documents as we persue the development agenda. The preparation of the District Budget and Development Plans are geared towards achieving wealth for the population and it is within the principle of Prosperity for all. The Budget framework Paper clearly stipulates the different resources available to the Local Government and attempts to explain how the Local Government intends to utilize the resources available to it to meet the endless needs of the population of Maracha District. The participatory nature of the Budget Framework Paper preparation clearly potrays that the contents of the document represents the needs of the population and when effectively implemented will lead to the improvement in the living conditions of the population of Maracha District. Tremendous achievements have been registered in service provision in the social and infrastructural sectors like Education, Health and Works. The District will continue to offer technical backstopping and mentoring to LLGs so as to build their capacity to effectively Plan, implement and Manage all Government and non Government projects and programmes that will be implemented within their areas of operation. It is the District Council policy to ensure that investments achieved are well maintained and kept operational for the benefit of the present and future generation. I thank the Central Government for their technical guidance and support during the preparation of the Budget Framework Paper for Maracha District and their commitment to fund the Budget that stipulates the resource needs of the District. My sincere appreciation goes to the Budget Desk and the entire DTPC members with the immmense guidance offered by the District Planning Unit Staff which has made the preparation of this document possible.

I implore the District Council and the standing committees who tirelessly worked to ensure that they play their constitutional obligations to have this document produced in the shortest time possible. The stakeholders who attended the various Planning Meetings in which a lot of valuable information was received by the Budget Desk deserve to be applauded for their commitment towards the finalization of this important document. From the Meetings especially the Budget Conference meeting held on the 21st and 22nd November 2013.

Donor Funding 2,370,567 5,400 951,396 Total Revenues 16,862,443 3,884,511 18,173,022 Revenue Performance in the first quarter of 2013/14 Maracha District budget performance by end of Q2 stood at 45% below the minimum 50% performance expected by half year end. This was due to poor local revenue and donor grants performance below 50% mark and pull out of some donors like DAR II while the others have not yet extended their support. CGT performed at 112% at half year end due to receipt of NUSAF 2 funds that were not focussed in the approved budget for 2013/14FY. However, by end of second quarter most of the fundsreceived had already been expended only leaving 4% of the budget not spent by 31/12/13. Some of the funds comprising 4% were not yet released because their sources were still being traced by the time the second quarter had ended. These funds will immediately be moved to their respective accounts if their sources are clarified. The unspent funds were mainly under water sector for LOT-II boreholes which were not completed then and could not be paid. Planned Revenues for 2014/15 The District expects to receive funds from three main sources during the financial year of 2014/15, as highlighted hereunder; Locally raise funds shall be at 244,842,000/=, Central Government transfers will constitute most of the funding source for the District during the 2014/15FY and some partner support from NGOs, CSOs and other development partners in the District. The overall District budget for 2014/15 financial year is expected to be 18,173,022,000/= up from 16,862,443,000/= of 2013/14 financial year due to increase in central Government transfers to the District mainly in Health and Education Departments for salaries. Donor and Local revenue Contributions to the overall District Budget declined for 2014/15 financial year as compared to that of 2013/14FY. This represents an overall increase in the Budget for 2014/15 financial year by 7.8%. Local revenue projections had to be scaled downwards to make them more realistic and some development partners such as DAR II /Danish Refugee Council which has been supporting the District in the areas of infrastructural development under Roads, Natural Resources, Water and Production departments closed their operations in the District.

Journal of International Humanitarian Action (2021) 6:17 Journal of International https://doi.org/10.1186/s41018-021-00105-8 Humanitarian Action RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Towards attaining the recommended Humanitarian Sphere Standards of sanitation in Bidibidi refugee camp found in Yumbe District, Uganda Zaitun Bako1, Alex Barakagira1,2* and Ameria Nabukonde1 Abstract Adequate sanitation is one of the most important aspects of community well-being. It reduces the rates of morbidity and severity of various diseases like diarrhea, dysentery, and typhoid among others. A study about toward the attainment of the recommended Humanitarian Sphere Standards on sanitation in Bidibidi refugee camp, Yumbe District, was initiated. A total of 210 households distributed in Bidibidi refugee camp were randomly selected and one adult person interviewed to assess the accessibility of different sanitation facilities, and to explore the sanitation standards of the sanitation facilities in relation to the recommended Humanitarian Sphere Standards in the area. Pit latrines, hand washing facilities, and solid waste disposal areas as reported by 81.4%, 86.7%, and 51.9% of the respondents respectively, are the main sanitation facilities accessed in the refugee camp. Despite their accessibility, the standards of the pit latrines, hand washing, and solid waste disposal facilities are below the recommended standards, which might have contributed to the outbreak of sanitation related diseases (χ2 = 19.66, df = 1, P = 0.05) in Bidibidi refugee camp. The respondents in the study area were aware that the presence of the sanitation-related diseases was because of the low-level sanitation practices in place (χ2 = 4.54, df = 1, P = 0.05).
