  • Country Operations Plan
    COUNTRY OPERATIONS PLAN Country: Uganda Planning Year: 2004 2004 Country Operations Plan – Uganda __________________________________________________________________________________________ Part I: Executive - Summary 1.1 Context and Beneficiary Populations UNHCR’s presence in Uganda dates back from the 1960s. Though the earlier arrivals of Rwandan refugees had returned in 1994, the country still hosts 18,500 Rwandans who are residual caseloads of the 1996 repatriation from Tanzania. There are some 5,000 Rwandans who entered Mbarara district of Uganda from Tanzania when the Rwandan refugees were being repatriated from there in 2002. The Government of Uganda has not yet decided their status. The majority of the refugees in the country today are Southern Sudanese hosted in northern Uganda and who number about 172,300 (86%) of the total refugee population of 200,800 as of 28 February 2003. About 8,500 Congolese refugees hosted in the Southwest are from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). There are other smaller groups from Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya that are also being assisted. Sudanese and Congolese refugees are granted status on a prima facie basis, while the status of others is ascertained through individual refugee status determination. Almost all the refugees fled their respective countries of origin because of the civil war and fear of persecution caused by ethnic rivalries and political differences. The Government of Uganda, continues to host refugees from the neighbouring countries. Refugees who are in designated settlememnts are provided with agricultural lands, tools and seeds with the objective of making them self-sufficient. As a result, refugees in the northern settlements have managed to produce a certain percentage of their food requirements, thereby reducing dependence on the food assistance from WFP.

  • Mbarara District Local Government Statistical Abstract 2015/16
    Mbarara District Statistical Abstract for 2015/2016 THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA MBARARA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2015/16 Mbarara District Local Government P.O Box 1 Tel: 20002/20009214233 JUNE 2016 E- mail: [email protected] Website: www.mbarara.go.ug Report Prepared with support from Uganda Bureau of Statistics Mbarara District Statistical Abstract for 2015/2016 FOREWORD The importance of statistics in informing planning and monitoring of government programmes cannot be over emphasised. We need to know where we are, determine where we want to reach and also know whether we have reached there. The monitoring of socio-economic progress is not possible without measuring how we progress and establishing whether human, financial and other resources are being used efficiently. However, these statistics have in many occasions been national in outlook and less district specific. The development of a district-based Statistical Abstract shall go a long way to solve this gap and provide district tailored statistics and will reflect the peculiar nature of the district by looking at specific statistics which would not be possible to provide at a higher level. Data and statistics are required for designing, planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating development programmes. For instance, statistics on school enrolment, completion rates and dropout rates e.t.c are vital in the monitoring of Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE) programmes. Statistics are also needed for establishing grant aid to community schools, staff levels and other investments in the education programmes. The collection and use of statistics and performance indicators is critical for both the successful management and operation of the sectors, including Lower Local Governments.

    Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 761 Mbarara Municipal Council Structure of Budget Framework Paper Foreword Executive Summary A: Revenue Performance and Plans B: Summary of Department Performance and Plans by Workplan C: Draft Annual Workplan Outputs for 2015/16 Page 1 Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 761 Mbarara Municipal Council Foreword The Local Government Act 1997(as amended) Section 36 mandates local governments to prepare comprehensive and integrated plans for submission to the National Planning Authority for incorporation in the national plans. Pursuant to Section 36 referred to in the foregoing, Mbarara Municipal Council has prepared this Budget Framework Paper for the Financial 2015/16 in conformity with the structure and format relating to the National Development Plan. This document provides details on the financial position of the Municipality, the constraints, major challenges, planned interventions, key priorities and related sector outputs for the medium term. Sectoral objectives, both specific and general, have been formulated to guide Sectoral performance and ease evaluation at the end of the implementation period. This Budget Framework Paper is therefore an official document of Mbarara Municipality and defines the medium term projections of revenue and expenditure, both recurrent and development. Our mission statement is ‘To provide quality services to the people of Mbarara Municipality for sustainable progress and development’. It is important to note that we cannot achieve this mission statement in isolation of central government. That is why we have been able to identify all our priorities and submit them to the central government for harmonization. I must emphasize that all our priorities in this document are geared towards eradication of poverty from our population and the five year national development plan are our guiding principles.
