Established in 1960, IDA offers interest-free credit and grants to the world’s 81 poorest countries- home to 2.5 billion where a majority of the people live on less than 2 US dollars per day. This highly concessionary financing is vital because such countries have little capacity to borrow on market terms. IDA resources and technical assistance supports country- led poverty reduction strategies in key areas, namely increased productivity, better governance and accountability, access to education and healthcare for poor people. P a g e | iii Units and measures Km: kilometre m: metre tpy: tonne per year MWth: Thermal megawatt (unit of heat) Pg: Picogram µ: Micro (1/1000000) Definitions: Dioxins or Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs): are a group of polyhalogenated compounds which are known to be potent human carcinogens (cancer-causing chemical compounds). Dioxins can occur as by-products of incineration of chlorine-containing substances such as chlorine-containing plastics. Incineration: is a waste treatment technology that involves combustion of organic materials and/or substances converting them into incinerator bottom ash, flue gases, and particulates. Flue gases may contain significant amounts of particulate matter, heavy metals, dioxins, furans, sulfur dioxide and hydrochloric acid. Flue gases are therefore cleaned before they are dispersed in the atmosphere. Infectious Waste: This is the portion of medical waste that can transmit disease. On average about 10-15% of medical waste is actually infectious waste. Infectious waste comprises five categories: cultures and stocks, human pathological waste, human blood and blood products and sharps. Hazardous waste : Shares the properties of a hazardous material (e.g. ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity), or other physical, chemical, or biological characteristics that may pose a potential risk to human health or the environment if improperly managed. Hospital Waste: All solid waste, both biological and non-biological, that is produced at a hospital and is discarded without further use. Medical Waste: Materials generated as a result of patient diagnosis and/or treatment or the immunization of human beings. Solid (non-hazardous) wastes: Generally include any garbage, refuse. Examples of such waste include domestic trash and garbage; inert construction / demolition materials; refuse, such as metal scrap and empty containers (except those previously used to contain hazardous materials which should, in principle, be managed as a hazardous waste). Point sources: These are discrete, stationary, identifiable sources of emissions that release pollutants to the atmosphere (e.g. incinerators).

  • Uganda 2015 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral Parliament in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The three most serious human rights problems in the country included: lack of respect for the integrity of the person (unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (freedoms of assembly, expression, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (sexual and gender-based violence), children (sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, societal or mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, media reported security forces in Apaa Parish in the north shot and killed five persons during a land dispute over the government’s border demarcation.

  • Case Study of Rufuuha Wetland, Ntungamo District
    Land Restoration Training Programme Keldnaholt, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland Final project 2018 ASSESSING THE PERCEPTION OF FRINGE COMMUNITIES ON WETLAND MANAGEMENT IN UGANDA: CASE STUDY OF RUFUUHA WETLAND, NTUNGAMO DISTRICT Dinnah Tumwebaze Ntungamo District Local Government P.O Box 01 Ntungamo [email protected] Supervisor Victor Pajuelo Madrigal SVARMI [email protected] ABSTRACT To ensure the health and wellbeing of the human population, wetlands should be managed sustainably to continue the services they provide and the justifiable exploitation of the earth’s resources. Cautious action needs to be directed towards the maintenance of the significant support systems of the ecosystem services on the globe, such as wetlands. This study aimed to assess the perception of fringe communities on the management of the Rufuuha wetland, Ntungamo District in south-western Uganda. The methodologies used in this study included simple random sampling. Results indicated that the state of Rufuuha wetland has been notably influenced by a lack of awareness of the wetland laws and regulations and a high local illiteracy level on sustainable wetland management. There is a need for sensitization of the community and an encouraging bottom-up approach in formulation and implementation of wetland laws. Key words: Perception, fringe community, wetland management, Ntungamo District.
