Hon. Speaker, Parliament of Uganda KAMPALA SUBMISSION OF MINISTERIAL POLICY STATEMENT (MPS) FOR FY 2020/2021 Rt. Hon. Speaker, in accordance with section 13 (13) of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) 2015, I wish to present to Parliament the Ministerial Policy Statement (MPS) for the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs and its seven Allied Statutory Institutions and the Sector Wide Approach (SWAP) Development program of the Justice, Law and Order Sector (JLOS), of which the Ministry is the lead Institution. Rt. Hon. Speaker, the Judiciary is not included in this Policy Statement. This follows the Constitutional Court ruling in Constitutional Petition No. 52 of 2017 in which it was held inter- alia that “The involvement of the Minister responsible for Justice in the budgeting process of the Judiciary is inconsistent with and in contravention of Articles 128(1), (3) & 6 and 155 (2) & (3) of the 1995 Constitution”. Rt. Hon. Speaker, the MPS has been prepared in line with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) 2015 and guidelines issued by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED). It addresses the Ministry; the allied Institutions as well as the JLOS Development program objectives and interventions contained in the Third National Development Plan (NDPIII) 2020/21–2024/25 and the commitments in the National Resistance Movement Manifesto (2016-2021). The Policy Statement outlines the achievements registered by the Ministry and its allied institutions during the first half of FY 2019/2020, the planned interventions in FY 2020/2021 and the associated resources requirement. Rt. Honorable Speaker, I wish to register my appreciation to the Government of Uganda and the Development Partners for the continued support to the Ministry and the Allied Institutions. I also want to thank the Sectoral Committees on Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Budget and National Economy, Line Ministries, Departments and Agencies, Local Governments, the Private Sector and Civil Society Organisations for the support and cooperation extended to the Ministry and the Allied Institutions in the FY 2019/2020. Your continued support will enable the Ministry and the Allied Institutions to deliver their mandate of providing effective justice for all. 1 1 Rt. Honorable Speaker, I now wish to table the FY 2020/2021 budget estimates for the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs and the seven allied Statutory Institutions and Sector Wide Approach Development program of the Justice Law and Order Sector amounting to UGX 851.040bn for review and approval by Parliament as follows: Summary of the Sector Budget Allocation in UGX, Billion.

    CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA:: 7(3) 180-198 UMU Press 2009 CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA: EX-POST EVALUATION OF A PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTED BY DOCTORS WITH AFRICA CUAMM Maria-Pia Waelkens#, Everd Maniple and Stella Regina Nakiwala, Faculty of Health Sciences, Uganda Martyrs University, P.O. Box 5498 Kampala, Uganda. #Corresponding author e-mail addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Disability is a common occurrence in many countries and a subject of much discussion and lobby. People with disability (PWD) are frequently segregated in society and by-passed for many opportunities. Stigma hinders their potential contribution to society. Doctors with Africa CUAMM, an Italian NGO, started a project to improve the life of PWD in the West Nile region in north- western Uganda in 2003. An orthopaedic workshop, a physiotherapy unit and a community-based rehabilitation programme were set up as part of the project. This ex-post evaluation found that the project made an important contribution to the life of the PWD through its activities, which were handed over to the local referral hospital for continuation after three years. The services have been maintained and their utilisation has been expanded through a network of outreach clinics. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) workers mobilise the community for disability assessment and supplement the output of qualified health workers in service delivery. However, the quality of care during clinics is still poor on account of large numbers. In the face of the departure of the international NGO, a new local NGO has been formed by stakeholders to take over some functions previously done by the international NGO, such as advocacy and resource mobilisation.
