UGANDA HUMANITARIAN SITUATION REPORT N°2/06 16-31 January 2006 United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs UGANDA HUMANITARIAN SITUATION REPORT N°2/06 16-31 January 2006 United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs I. GENERAL HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT According to the UN Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS), the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) are now widely dispersed in small groups and are operating in Apac, Lira, Kitgum, Gulu and Pader districts. During the reporting period, there were 18 security incidents including abductions, ambushes/raids, Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF)-LRA clashes and LRA sightings. There were 42 civilians abducted in these districts. There have been no reported incidents or sightings of the LRA rebels in Teso region (Soroti, Kaberamaido, Katakwi and Amuria districts). In Lira district, the UN continue to use military escorts to internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps in Aromo, Ogur, Okwang, Apala, Adwari, Orum and Olilim sub-counties. Most NGOs use escorts if visiting Aromo sub- county or Otuke county. Action Contre la Faim (ACF) are accessing all but one camps in the district without escort while MSF access six camps without escort. Camps and settlements in Katakwi and Amuria districts are accessible, although local militia escorts are used in some areas, particularly in the Karimojong belt. In Kapalebyong camp, Amuria district; Opeuro Aodot and Acanga in Ngariam sub-county, Katakwi district, the displaced persons are escorted to graze their herds. According to the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS), apart from the security concerns caused by their presence, Karimojong and their animals are exerting a lot of pressure on the water points (boreholes and valley dams) in Orom, Namukora and Omiya Anyima sub counties in Kitgum district. In Pader district, Karimojong herdsmen are in Paimol, Lapono, Adilang, Parabongo and some parts of Lukole. District officials from Pader and Kotido met with Karimojong kraal leaders to draw up a memorandum of understanding on the utilisation of water sources and prevention of animal infectious diseases. The army has allowed Karimojong to graze their animals under close monitoring by the military. According to the Pader District Internal Security Officer (DISO), the Karimojong are being encouraged to return their guns or hand them in. In the Teso region, clashes between Karimojong warriors and Arrow militia continued in Amuria and Katakwi districts, though with no reported casualties. According to the Interim Local Council V Chairperson of Amuria District, the Karimojong have moved with their animals to the border with Amuria. A large group is camped at Ogwete dam less than 3km from Angicha in Obalanga Sub County, Amuria District. This has become their base from which they are reportedly terrorizing/ affecting over 5,963 displaced persons. Also affected are families in Angicha and Amotoom camps in Obalanga Sub County who had moved from Obalanga main camp and other areas to settlements nearer to their ancestral land. II. POPULATION MOVEMENT Camp decongestion. Site preparation at Biira, the only official decongestion camp in Gulu district, is ongoing. According to the Sub County Chief, three land owners have voluntarily offered land for the camp, but a formal agreement is yet to be signed between land owners and sub-county authorities. By 24 January, 1,909 families (9,837 persons) had registered with the Sub-County Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) for relocation. The exercise is planned for 15,000 individuals. So far, land demarcated can accommodate 630 huts or about 310 families. The UPDF, although still building barracks, are permanently deployed at the Biira site. In Pader, IDPs who were to resettle in Paiula, one of the IDP decongestion sites along the Pader-Pajule road, have refused to relocate to the site for unknown reasons. Eight additional sites of Acuru, Lakoga, Kokil, Tyer, Bolo, Ogonyo, Toroma and Agora were approved by the military for decongestion. The St. Mary’s site, which is west of Lapul is awaiting approval from the army. Return. In Lira, IDPs continue to return to villages around the areas of Amugu, Alanyi and Abako, but exact numbers are not yet known. In Katakwi and Amuria districts, return in the areas close to the border with Lira and Kotido, namely northern parts of Obalanga, Orungo and parts of Morugatuny sub-counties, has been affected by the influx of Karimojong herdsmen and their animals. In addition, most return areas are experiencing water shortage as several water sources and swamps have dried up.

At that time, there were no minimum standards for the meaningful engagement of PLHIV, KVPs and CSOs and discussions with the U.S. government regarding Uganda’s COP would take place only in meetings at the U.S. Embassy. PLHIV, KVP and CSOs worked to ensure that the engagement processes became truly community- owned and community-led. They established a structured calendar, clear expectations of civil society and of PEPFAR Uganda, and a shared focus with PEPFAR Uganda on improving the accountability of the HIV response for communities and CSOs. This is the third edition of The People’s Voice; the first was facilities which are located in 28 districts (see Table A, page 3) published in 20191 and the second in 2020.2 Successes resulting during the CLM pilot phase (August-September 2020) and Focus from these efforts over the years include: introduction and scale Group Discussions (FGDs) with community representatives.

  • 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].

  • A Monthly Newsletter on Food Security and Vulnerability in Uganda
    A Monthly Newsletter on Food Security and Vulnerability in Uganda Number 03/2002 13 March 2002 Summary • ActionAid reports adequate household access to food in less secure parts of Katakwi District, although the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) continue to face limited access to both food and clean drinking water. The displaced households are currently depending on wild foods, with a few getting assistance from relatives living in other parts of the district that are outside the camps. Furthermore, only a few of these households are able to access food from the fields and markets due to poor harvests over past seasons and lack of income. Katakwi District officials and humanitarian organizations anticipate that disarmament in the Karamoja Region will help restore civil security, increasing opportunities for IDPs to cultivate in the coming season. Sanitation and health conditions in the IDPs settlements are poor, although no significant outbreak of diseases has been reported over the past three months. • There has been significant improvement in the civil security in Bundibugyo, Kabarole, Kamwenge, Kasese and Kyenjojo Districts, where an estimated 150,000 to 180,000 IDPs live in settlements. Some IDPs have relocated to settlements closer to their homes, improving their access to land and food security. A study by OXFAM Great Britain, Kabarole Research Center and Deutse Enwecklungs Dienst-Uganda (DED-Uganda) found that many IDPs would like to return home, however, they require government’s assurance of security. The report recommended increased advocacy for the IDPs, as well as support to both government and districts to resettle the IDPs. • Normal levels of household food stocks are reported in most of Uganda with no significant food availability problems being identified.

  • 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.
