  • Water Resources of Uganda: an Assessment and Review

Namutebi3, Masoud Nsubuga-Ssenfuma2 1Department of Geography, Geoinformatics and Meteorology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa 2National Environmental Consult Ltd., Kampala, Uganda 3Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kampala, Uganda Email: *[email protected] Received 1 August 2014; revised 26 August 2014; accepted 18 September 2014 Copyright © 2014 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Water resources of a country constitute one of its vital assets that significantly contribute to the socio-economic development and poverty eradication. However, this resource is unevenly distri- buted in both time and space. The major source of water for these resources is direct rainfall, which is recently experiencing variability that threatens the distribution of resources and water availability in Uganda. The annual rainfall received in Uganda varies from 500 mm to 2800 mm, with an average of 1180 mm received in two main seasons. The spatial distribution of rainfall has resulted into a network of great rivers and lakes that possess big potential for development. These resources are being developed and depleted at a fast rate, a situation that requires assessment to establish present status of water resources in the country. The paper reviews the characteristics, availability, demand and importance of present day water resources in Uganda as well as describ- ing the various issues, challenges and management of water resources of the country.

  • National Tuberculosis Andf Leprosy Program
    NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS AND LEPROSY PROGRAM ACTIVITY REPORT TOUR OF THE DISTRICTS IN THE EASTERN ZONE OF UGANDA 12th to 23rd DECEMBER 2005 Compiled by: Dr. Abel Nkolo Dr. Kalyesubula-Kibuuka Simon, 3rd January 2006 1 Executive Summary Uganda has a population of 27.6 million [1], which is distributed into 69 districts (since July 2005). Efforts to control Tuberculosis started way back in 1965 when a National Tuberculosis Control Program was established. A combined program for TB and Leprosy was conceived in 1988 and the National TB and Leprosy Program started in 1990. Regardless of these efforts, the disease continues to be a threat fuelled by the HIV/AIDS scourge yet TB and HIV collaborative interventions are still in their infancy. Leprosy control has been domain of church based organizations for a long time, who took it as a humanitarian Christian mission [2]. In Uganda significant support has been received from the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy association (ILEP) partners, notably the German (GLRA) and Netherlands (NSL) Leprosy Relief Associations [3]. The NTLP is headed by a Program Manager assisted by nine Senior Medical Officers who are termed as Zonal TB Leprosy Supervisors (ZTLS). Uganda is the 16th of the 22 high-burden countries of tuberculosis (TB) The TB burden in Uganda continues to increase, NTLP notification increased in 2003 3.4% and 6.0% in 2004 when 44,605 cases were detected. In 2004, 46 of the 56 districts continued to detect and report new leprosy case ranging from 1 in Iganga, Hoima, Kabarole, Kyenjonjo and Rukungiri to 82 in Lira district [4].

  • Assessing the Impact of the Peace, Recovery and Development Plan 1 in Northern Uganda
    WE SAW WHAT WAS DONE BUT NOT OUR WILL WAS DONE: ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF THE PEACE, RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1 IN NORTHERN UGANDA © Refugee Law Project, June 2013 The Advisory Consortium on Conflict Sensitivity (ACCS) This report is a product of the Advisory Consortium on Conflict Sensitivity (ACCS), a three member partnership between International Alert, Refugee Law Project and Saferworld. The overall aim of ACCS is to assist the British Department for International Development (DfID) and partners in strengthening the potential of the PRDP to address the causes of conflict in a way that is itself conflict sensitive, and which can contribute to sustainable peace and stability. ACCS has three major objectives: monitoring of the extent to which interventions under the Peace, Recovery and Development Plan (PRDP), particularly those funded under DFID’s Post-Conflict Development Programme (PCDP), succeed or fail in achieving peacebuilding aims (International Alert); contextual analysis of the overall recovery process (conflict indicators, issues and dynamics) and to provide early warning as and when necessary (RLP); and evidence-based advocacy, targeted recommendations, and technical support to improve the recovery and peacebuilding impact of OPM and other PRDP stakeholders (Saferworld). Each con sortium agency leads on one output, supported by the other partners. 2 Acknowledgments This report was authored by an independent consultant, Jamie Hitchen. He is indebted to the work of Martin Kasozi, Dennis Jjuuko and Jimmy Wamimbi who worked tirelessly in collection data from the field and in providing a peer review on the initial draft. Eunice Ouko who provided field contacts for interviews and all ACCS members Jackson Odong, Barnabas Otim and staff of the Conflict, Transitional Justice and Governance Programme at RLP for their support throughout the research.

  • Use of Pyrethroids and Amidines Against Tsetse and Ticks in Zoonotic Sleeping Sickness Endemic Areas of Uganda Kevin Bardosh1, Charles Waiswa2 and Susan C Welburn3*
    Bardosh et al. Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:204 http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/6/1/204 RESEARCH Open Access Conflict of interest: use of pyrethroids and amidines against tsetse and ticks in zoonotic sleeping sickness endemic areas of Uganda Kevin Bardosh1, Charles Waiswa2 and Susan C Welburn3* Abstract Background: Caused by trypanosomes and transmitted by tsetse flies, Human African Trypanosomiasis and bovine trypanosomiasis remain endemic across much of rural Uganda where the major reservoir of acute human infection is cattle. Following elimination of trypanosomes by mass trypanocidal treatment, it is crucial that farmers regularly apply pyrethroid-based insecticides to cattle to sustain parasite reductions, which also protect against tick-borne diseases. The private veterinary market is divided between products only effective against ticks (amidines) and those effective against both ticks and tsetse (pyrethroids). This study explored insecticide sales, demand and use in four districts of Uganda where mass cattle treatments have been undertaken by the ‘Stamp Out Sleeping Sickness’ programme. Methods: A mixed-methods study was undertaken in Dokolo, Kaberamaido, Serere and Soroti districts of Uganda between September 2011 and February 2012. This included: focus groups in 40 villages, a livestock keeper survey (n = 495), a veterinary drug shop questionnaire (n = 74), participatory methods in six villages and numerous semi-structured interviews. Results: Although 70.5% of livestock keepers reportedly used insecticide each month during the rainy season, due to a variety of perceptions and practices nearly half used products only effective against ticks and not tsetse. Between 640 and 740 litres of insecticide were being sold monthly, covering an average of 53.7 cattle/km2.
