These microfinance institutions provide financial and non-financial services to the poor in order for the poor to generate incomes and consequently alleviate poverty. The advent of microfinance institutions was not accidental but rather in response to the people’s needs and they have therefore been beneficial for the people of Uganda. Because of that, several MFIs have been initiated to help the poor. Although many services are provided, the study focused on credit services. As most of the MFIs have to balance the business goal of profit maximization and the social goal of poverty reduction, the main objective of this study was to explore whether microfinance in Uganda is an effective tool for poverty alleviation. The study was conducted in four districts, namely Mukono, Mpigi, Wakiso and Luwero. Using random probability sampling, a sample of 170 was drawn from a pool of 300 MFI clients. and all of them responded. MFI officials were also interviewed. A total 136 officials were obtained from 47 MFI branches. The study used descriptive methods of analysis, a Likert scale to derive means, as well as a Principal Component Analysis technique. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to detect if there were any statistically significant differences among the demographic variables used in the study. A Probit Regression Model was used to determine the impact of certain variables drawn from Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on poverty in Uganda. The results obtained proved that MFIs in general are effective in combating poverty in Uganda. Variables that are significant in poverty reduction through loan use are land, education, employment, household incomes and occupations of the respondents, loan sizes and improved livelihoods. Despite the positive impact of MFI loans in Uganda, the MFIs are faced with a number of challenges. The results from the interviews with the MFI officials indicated that MFIs are iv challenged by increasing competition, bad debt, multiple borrowings by clients, and information asymmetry. The study recommended reduced interest rates on agricultural, education and business loans. The public must also be sensitised about borrowing and there should be increased monitoring and supervision of clients, improved assessment of creditworthiness, and government should ensure an enabling environment and encourage group loans. Effort should be exerted to create employment opportunities. The study also recommended improvement in market intelligence and to be alert in gathering information on client profiles. it was recommended that microloan insurance and savings must be encouraged, operational costs be reduced, portfolios be expanded to increase loans and outreach must be maximised. Lastly, the thesis put forward some potential areas for further studies.

Abstract Water as it flows through a town is continuously affected and changed by social relations of power and vice-versa. In the course of its flow, it always benefits some, while depriving, or even in some cases harming others. The issues concerning distribution of water are closely intertwined with the distribution of risks, at the crux of which are questions related to how decisions related to water allocation and distribution are made.

Box 7852 Kampala, Uganda 2International Potato Centre, Regional Office, PO Box 22274, Kampala, Uganda 3The Regional Network for the Improvement of Potato and Sweet potato in East and Central Africa, PO Box 22274, Kampala, Uganda Abstract Sweetpotato (SP) small-scale farmers of Luweero and Mpigi districts were introduced to improved long-term storage methods (pit and clamp) as a way of improving their livelihood. Based on a participatory approach, farmers were involved in a storage study where dry matter, beta-carotene and sugar content parameters were monitored over a 60 day period in Mpigi and 75 days in Luweero district. Pit and clamp stores were constructed by farmers in selected sites of each district. Improved SP varieties (Ejumula, Naspot 1, Naspot 2, New Kawogo, Semanda and SPK004) were used for the storage study. Dry matter contents of SP were exceptionally high, particularly for roots from Mpigi district, with Semanda variety having the highest dry matter (41%). High beta-carotene concentrations were recorded for the orange-fleshed varieties, SPK004 and Ejumula, 68 and 125 mg/100 g, respectively. Total sugar contents of the roots were generally low (1.6-3.7 g/100 g), with exception of Naspot 2 (5.7 g/100 g).
