In Uganda, MCSP is working with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Uganda National Expanded Programme on Immunization (UNEPI) at national level to operationalize the Reaching Every Child/Community using Quality Improvement Approach (REC-QI) in ten districts. REC- QI focuses on district and health facility management processes and applies methods from the field of quality improvement (QI) to help increase coverage and reach every child with immunization services that are effective, safe, responsive to community needs and sustainable. MCSP Uganda continues work started by USAID’s predecessor project, Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP) and is implemented side-by-side with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Stronger Systems for Routine Immunization (SS4RI) Project in 10 additional districts. REC-QI is one of the seven priority “innovations” that MCSP is introducing and studying as part of its global innovations and learning agenda. The REC-QI implementation process (shown in Figure 1 below) entails: 1) introducing the approach to the district and health facilities (Orient); 2) implementing REC-QI and determining its contributions to the routine immunization system (Establish and Strengthen); and, 3) adding it into the routine operations and plans of districts and health facilities (Sustain). REC-QI implementation from start to finish takes approximately 24 months in each district. Depending on which stage of REC-QI implementation a district is in, it receives differing amounts and kinds of support from MCSP (Figure 1). In general, MCSP supports the training of district managers, health workers and village health teams (VHTs) in immunization, microplanning, EPI management, and the use of key REC-QI tools. The program also trains supervisors in supportive supervision, and supports quarterly review meetings (QRMs) that are led by district health management teams (DHMTs). QRMs are the platform for health facility staff, DHMTs and district and sub-county political, religious and civic leaders to jointly reflect on the performance of routine immunization and other maternal and child health (MCH) services and to develop action plans to address challenges. Figure 1: REC-QI steps, inputs and timeline. 4 I. Summary of PY3 Quarter 2 Achievements During this reporting period, MCSP continued its efforts to strengthen the capacity of UNEPI and focus on promoting REC-QI practices in the districts, health sub-districts (HSD) and health facilities. MCSP phased out its support to the two PY1 (e.g., support initiated during PY1, October 2014 to September 2015) districts of Kanungu and Butaleja after 22 months of support. MCSP continued to provide support to the four PY2 districts of Ntungamo, Mitooma, Bulambuli and Kibuku. Additionally, MCSP initiated support to four PY3 districts of Mbarara, Bushenyi (South West region), Mayuge (East Central region) and Pallisa (Eastern region). Step one, “Orient”, was completed in the four PY3 districts, with the exception of a five-day REC-QI training to prepare the districts for Step two, “Establish and Strengthen”, which is planned for April 2017. The REC-QI approach encourages frontline health workers to “think outside the box” while addressing their RI challenges. For example, thinking of how to tap community, local government and private partners’ resources in the district instead of only relying on primary health care (PHC) grants from central government. Technical input to key national and global meetings MCSP attended and provided technical input to several important global and national level meetings, including the UNEPI EPI Technical Working Group (TWG), Inception Meeting for Immunization Financing Sustainability organized by MOH and partners, Gavi teleconference meetings, New RED Guide and Equity guide adaptation workshop, USAID’s Chief of Party & Communications meetings, Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) EPI Manager’s Meeting held in Uganda from March 20-22, 2017, Institutionalizing Community Health Conference (ICHC) held in South Africa from March 27-30, 2017, and a WHO regional workshop to facilitate modification of the Home-Based Child Health Records for Immunisation. These meetings provided opportunities for MCSP to coordinate with other in-country and international partners and key players in immunization, share implementation experiences and results of MCSP’s work, and contribute to national and global knowledge in RED/REC and immunization in general. MCSP continued to support the EPI Newspaper Pull Out publication on district EPI performance that provides feedback to stakeholders and stimulates debate/attention to RI, and contributed to the mapping of the geographical distribution of EPI partners’ support to facilitate donor coordination, universal coverage and enhancement of synergies. Immediately after the ESA EPI Manager’s Meeting in Uganda, JSI held a one day meeting on March 23, 2017 that was dedicated to REC-QI work in Uganda with the aim of sharing lessons learnt for scale up within immunization and other health interventions. The meeting was attended by 38 participants, including 5 representatives from USAID (e.g., USAID/Washington, Africa Bureau, Uganda, and Mozambique), 2 senior staff from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the UNEPI Program Manager (PM) and Deputy PM, plus JSI immunization staff from eight countries. REC-QI “Sustain” step completed in two PY1 districts (Kanungu and Butaleja) MCSP conducted sustainability forum meetings, which is the last activity in the REC-QI timeline of activities, in both PY1 districts. During these meetings, results of REC-QI implementation were compared to baseline and a sustainability plan was developed. Notable results included an increase in the proportion of health facilities with completed REC microplans from 6% (baseline June 2015) to 67% (assessment conducted in October 2016), and a reduction in the Pentavalent (DPT1-3) dropout rates from 6.4% to 2.6% and from 21% to 14% for Kanungu and Butaleja districts, respectively. To close the remaining gaps and ensure sustainability of these improvements in RI service delivery, an action plan was jointly developed by MCSP and district health leadership with action points focusing on strengthening 5 cold chain maintenance, community mobilisation for RI services, and strengthening recording of children vaccinated in the MOH Child Register. Four PY2 districts in the “Establish and Strengthen” step (Ntungamo, Mitooma, Kibuku and Bulambuli) In the four PY2 districts, MCSP conducted Operational Level (OPL) trainings on immunisation practices

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 1. Introduction
    1. Introduction 1.1 Background to the Case Study This report presents a case study on bicycles, women and rural transport in Uganda. It is the result of field work carried out in the Mbale and Tororo districts of eastern Uganda during a three-week visit in September 1991. The case study forms part of the Rural Travel and Transport Project (RTTP) of the World Bank- financed Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Program (SSATP), a major research program covering transport in SSA. One aspect of this program is the RTTP, which is designed to focus on transport at the level where it has the most direct influence on economic (particularly agricultural) and social development in rural areas of SSA. One of the key aims of the RTTP is to recommend approaches to the improvement of rural transport services, and to the adoption of intermediate technologies to increase personal mobility and agricultural production. This research is being conducted through Village-Level Transport and Travel Surveys (VLTTS) and related case studies. The World Bank has commissioned the International Labor Organization, in collaboration with I.T. Transport, to execute the VLTTS and the related case studies under the RTTP. 1.2 General Objectives of the Case Study The objective of the case study is to investigate two key aspects of rural mobility and accessibility focusing on: (i) The role of intermediate means of transport (IMT) in improving mobility, and the institutional and implementation policy requirements necessary for developing the use of IMT; and (ii) The role of transport in women's daily lives, - given that a major part of the transport burden falls on women in addition to their substantial agricultural and domestic responsibilities, and the impact of improvements in mobility and accessibility upon women.
