Applied Research, Education And Training Characteristics, structure and resources of the sector Summary Uganda produces up to 15 000 tonnes of fish from aquaculture, including production from small-scale fish farmers, emerging commercial fish farmers and stocked community water reservoirs and minor lakes. There are an estimated 20 000 ponds throughout the country with an average surface area of 500 m² per pond. Production ranges between 1 500 kg per hectare per year for subsistence farmers to 15 000 kg per hectare per year for emerging commercial fish farmers. With improved market prices for fish, government intervention for increased production and stagnating supply from capture fisheries, aquaculture has begun to attract entrepreneurial farmers seeking to exploit the business opportunity provided by the prevailing demand for fish. This recent expansion in aquaculture has also resulted in the transformation of 20 percent to 30 percent of the smallholder subsistence ponds into profitable small-scale production units through developments in management as well as scale of production.

  • The Least Cost Generation Plan 2016
    THE LEAST COST GENERATION PLAN 2016 – 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the Authority developed a 5 year Least Cost Generation Plan (LCGP) that covered the period 2013 to 2018. An update of the LCGP has been undertaken covering a 10 year period of 2016 to 2025. The update involved review of the load forecast in light of changed parameters, commissioning dates for committed projects, costs of generation plants, transmission and distribution system investment requirements. In the update of the plan, similar to the Power Sector Investment Plan, prepared by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, the ”Econometric Demand” forecasting method was used at distribution level to forecast Commercial, Medium Industry and Large Industry customer category demand. A bottom up approach was used for Domestic customer category using the end-user method. A Base Case, Low Case and High Case scenario were developed for sensitivity analysis. The resultant demand forecast was 6.5%, 3.6% and 12% growth rate in energy demand for the Base Case, Low Case and High Case scenarios respectively. This growth rate is lower than the projection in the 2013 LCGP of 10%, 5% and 14% for Base Case, Low Case and High Case respectively. A number of energy supply options were considered including Hydro, Peat, Solar PV, Bagasse Cogeneration, Wind and Natural Gas. The planned supply considered already existing, committed and candidate generation plants/projects with their estimated commissioning dates aligned. We note that more than 80% of the generation will come from hydro. 1 In the demand supply balance, Figure E1 shows the demand and supply balance over the planning period.

  • Mpererwe Benefits from Neighbours by JOHN MASABA
    44 SATURDAY VISION, February 8, 2014 HOMES & CONSTRUCTION Mpererwe benefits from neighbours BY JOHN MASABA NTIL you mention its neighbouring suburbs, Kasangati and Gayaza, one would be hard-pressed to find people on the streets of UKampala who know the location of Mpererwe. It is a suburb living in the shadows of its neighbours. But there is a lot that sets it apart. Mpererwe is cleaner and more orderly. There are plenty of rubbish skips in the town. A hot midday sun is nothing to worry about because there is a constant cool breeze that keeps sweeping across. It is perhaps due to the trees that still stand tall in Mpererwe town, despite the numerous houses. Found on the Kampala–Gayaza Road, Mper- erwe is the third major trading centre after, Ka- lerwe, Kyebando and Kanyanya. It is bordered by Katalemwa, in Wakiso district, to the north; Kisaasi to the east, Kanyanya to the south and Kawempe to the west. The suburb is located in the confluence of the Lusanja-Kiteezi, Mwaze-Gayaza and Kampala- Foodstuffs are cheaper in Mpererwe than other city suburbs. Pictures by John Masaba Gayaza roads.

O. Box 530, Kampala Uganda 2NAADS Coordinator, Kakiri Town Council, Wakiso District, P.O. Box 7218, Kampala Uganda 3National Fisheries Resources Research Institute, P. O. Box 343, Jinja Haplochromis nyererei Abstract Preliminary studies undertaken to investigate the availability of ornamental fish species in Uganda’s natural water systems, revealed significant abundance of coloured fishes in Uganda’s water systems including the Kyoga and Victoria Lake system. These species are able to breed in captivity and to feed on artificial diets in ponds and glass tanks. The species are attractive and are highly marketable. These Platytaeniodus sp. (Red tail) observations indicate the potential to culture ornamental fishes as away of diversifying the range of aquaculture species, a means to generate income and to improve livelihoods in Uganda. Introduction Ornamental Fish Trade is one of the most lucrative businesses in the world today, fetching close to USD 15 billion annually (Helfaman, 2007). This trade is led by countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Psammochromis riponanus Malaysia, with a diversity of ichthofauna as is the case in Uganda. This trade is popular and profitable because the unit value of ornamental fish is higher than that of food fish. In Uganda, several middle men have taken to collecting some ornamental fishes from Lakes Kyoga and Victoria, however, this is not ecologically sustainable.
