UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) Disaster Response Preparedness Mission UNITED NATIONS OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) Disaster Response Preparedness Mission Republic of Uganda 8-24 November 2008 Foreword by the UN Resident Coordinator Between 8 and 24 November 2008, a United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team composed of 11 disaster managers visited Uganda to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the national capacity for disaster preparedness and response. Designed to promote disaster risk reduction and strengthen preparedness and response capacity, Uganda is the first country in Africa to come under the microscopic attention of an UNDAC Disaster Response Preparedness Mission. The Government of Uganda’s determination that such a comprehensive analysis of its own state of preparedness should be supported speaks to the national commitment to meet its obligations as a signatory of the Hyogo Framework on Disaster Reduction. In meetings with stakeholders at all levels, including central and district government, United Nations agencies, national and international non-governmental organizations, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and development partners, among others, and through field visits to western and eastern and northeastern Uganda, the UNDAC Mission has gained a thorough overview of existing capacity for preparedness and response. The assessment culminates with the present report. The recommendations contained herein seek to capitalize on existing resources to improve Uganda’s disaster preparedness and response capacity at every level, national, regional, district and local. Broadly, the recommendations fall within four categories, addressing the need to strengthen current capacity in the areas of coordination, financing, training and awareness about disaster risk reduction and disaster preparedness. It is our hope that, over the course of the next year, much progress will be made in implementing the recommendations contained in this report. As the Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Uganda, I certainly pledge the support of the United Nations system and its partners in helping the Government of Uganda, at all levels, to meet the challenge of fully implementing the recommendations of the UNDAC Disaster Response Preparedness Mission.

The STAR program is implemented by Management Sciences for Health (MSH) in East Uganda, by John Snow International (JSI) in East-Central Uganda, and by Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) in South-West Uganda, covering thirty- four districts in total. Working closely with the Ministry of Health and through district health management teams (DHMTs), district councils, health facilities, and communities, the projects’ goal is to increase access to, coverage of, and utilization of quality comprehensive HIV/AIDS and TB prevention, care, and treatment services within district health facilities and their respective communities. This will be achieved through the following objectives: (a) strengthening decentralized HIV/AIDS and TB service delivery systems; (b) improving the quality and efficiency of HIV/AIDS and TB service delivery within health facilities; (c) strengthening networks and referrals systems to improve access to, coverage of, and use of HIV/AIDS and TB services; and (d) increasing demand for comprehensive HIV/AIDS and TB prevention, care, and treatment services. All three STAR projects are designed to strengthen systems at the decentralized level to facilitate improved delivery and uptake of HIV/AIDS and TB services, including district-led performance reviews to help identify coverage and service gaps.

The project aims to strengthen resilience of approximately half a million vulnerable people to the impacts of climate change, through adaptation technology transfer (strategic objective 1) and climate mainstreaming (strategic objective 2). This project has four components, namely: 1) Climate resilient infrastructure implemented for enhanced livelihoods, 2) Strengthened capacity of communities and institutions for climate resilient planning in four watersheds, 3) Climate information integrated into development plans & early warning systems, and 4) Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) and Adaptation Learning.

Zooplankton community constitutes one of the keystone organisms that are crucial in understanding aquatic ecosystem responses to environmental distresses. The objective of this study was to contribute to the understanding of zooplankton ecological cons ervation status and assessment of potential impacts of the proposed Hydropower plant on the zooplankton community in River Aswa, Nwoya District, in Uganda. Baseline information on aquatic micro - invertebrate diversity, abundance and distribution along the affected river section was generated. Two copepods and four species of rotifers were recorded. T he Intake site had the highest diversity ( six species ) while Powerhouse had four species. Of the species encountered, Keratella tropica registered the highest abundance — 1,025 and 732 individuals m - 2 at the Powerhouse and Intake sites, respectively. Total zooplankton densities were comparable with Intake (2,773 individuals m - 2 ) and Powerhouse (2,311 individuals m - 2 ). The zooplankton taxa do not appear in the IUC N Red List in the Catalogue of Life .
