COVID-19 in the Rwenzori Region ACCELERATING FRAGILITIES: COVID- 19 IN THE RWENZORI REGION RWENZORI FORUM FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE (RFPJ) APRIL, 2020 1 ` EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rwenzori Forum for Peace and Justice (RFPJ) conducted this survey in March and April 2020 at the height of the covid-19 pandemic national lockdown in the Rwenzori region. The survey involved conducting phone interviews with 55 respondents identified using purposive and snowball sampling procedures. Respondents were drawn from stakeholders involved in the implementation of covid-19 prevention guidelines issued by the Government of Uganda. These stakeholders included political and technical leaders, district covid-19 task force members and representatives from security agencies. Other respondents included citizens who in various ways, got affected by the implementation of the covid-19 prevention guidelines. The survey sought to analyze the nexus between covid-19 and notions of peace, access to justice, governance and respect for human rights. RFPJ limited the survey to seventeen conflict prone sub counties selected from five districts of Kasese, Bundibugyo, Kabarole, Ntoroko and Bunyangabu out of nine districts that currently make up the Rwenzori region. On the subject of peaceful coexistence, the survey revealed an unprecedented increase in Gender Based Violence (GBV) during the lockdown. GBV cases skyrocketed from 9 in the pre-covid month of February 2020 to 70 during the covid lockdown months of March and April 2020, representing an increase in cases by 87 percent. Further, while the threat of covid-19 unified ethnic groups in the Rwenzori region to address a common health threat, the region experienced incidents of ethnic tensions connected to implementation of covid-19 prevention guidelines. Lastly, covid-19 lockdown and associated prevention guidelines, especially the suspension of businesses that employed most young people exacerbated social and economic vulnerabilities among the youth. These vulnerabilities have a great potential to reduce young persons’ opportunity cost to violence as the country prepares for 2020/2021 national elections. Connected to human rights, security agencies masterminded brutality and torture of citizens in the implementation of covid-19 prevention guidelines. Further, limitations on freedom of movement grossly constrained health workers’ ability to report to work and also, citizens’ access to health services. On the other hand, minority ethnic groups, especially the Banyabindi in Kasese district and fishing communities near Lake Albert in Ntoroko district experienced insurmountable difficulties in accessing food and other essential needs. These difficulties mainly hinged on the ineffective implementation of a national affirmative action to remedy the negative effect of covid- 19 on minority and other vulnerable groups. Even in face of these human rights violations, access to justice remained constrained due to suspension of court operations. Lastly, covid-19 pandemic exposed governance fragilities in forms of citizens’ lack of appreciation of mandate of leaders and the diminished culture of accountability. Brutality by security agencies and reported corruption in the office of the Prime Minister were specific incidents that served to erode public trust in government. To address the negative effects of covid- 19, this survey proposes the strengthening of civil-military relations and structures mandated to address GBV. Further, the survey proposes the empowerment of victims of GBV, the youth, women and citizens to address GBV and also, demand for accountability and good governance from their leaders. i ` ACKNOWLEDGEMENT RFPJ appreciates her technical staff, especially Mr. Tuhaise Francis, Mr. Hyeroba Geofrey, Mr. Opio Francis and Mr. Muhindo Francis Happy for planning and conducting this survey. Further, RFPJ extends her appreciation to all the respondents who in their home confinement, provided valuable information during this survey and to the Democratic Governance Facility (DGF) for supporting the conduct of this survey.

Published in final edited form as: J Med Entomol. 2012 November ; 49(6): 1289–1306. doi:10.1603/me12111. Mosquitoes of Western Uganda J.-P. Mutebi1, M. B. Crabtree1, R. J. Kent Crockett1, A. M. Powers1, J. J. Lutwama2, and B. R. Miller1 1Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 3150 Rampart Road, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. 2Department of Arbovirology, Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI), P.O. Box 49, Entebbe, Uganda. Abstract The mosquito fauna in many areas of western Uganda has never been studied and is currently unknown. One area, Bwamba County, has been previously studied and documented but the species lists have not been updated for more than 40 years. This paucity of data makes it difficult to determine which arthropod-borne viruses pose a risk to human or animal populations. Using CO2 baited-light traps, from 2008 through 2010, 67,731 mosquitoes were captured at five locations in western Uganda including Mweya, Sempaya, Maramagambo, Bwindi (BINP), and Kibale (KNP). Overall, 88 mosquito species, 7 subspecies and 7 species groups in 10 genera were collected. The largest number of species was collected at Sempaya (65 species), followed by Maramagambo (45), Mweya (34), BINP (33), and KNP (22). However, species diversity was highest in BINP (Simpson’s Diversity Index 1-D = 0.85), followed by KNP (0.80), Maramagambo (0.79), Sempaya (0.67), and Mweya (0.56). Only six species (Aedes (Aedimorphus) cumminsii (Theobald), Aedes (Neomelaniconion) circumluteolus (Theobald), Culex (Culex) antennatus (Becker), Culex (Culex) decens group, Culex (Lutzia) tigripes De Grandpre and De Charmoy, and Culex (Oculeomyia) annulioris Theobald), were collected from all 5 sites suggesting large differences in species composition among sites.
