Investments in key human development areas have reaped benefits in poverty reduction, and seen some improvements on a range of socio-economic indicators: but is everyone benefiting? Ugandan women and girls have partially benefited from these trends. New laws and measures to protect and promote women’s economic, political and human rights have been accompanied by impressive reductions in gender gaps in primary and secondary education and greater female political participation. Yet, wide gender gaps and inequalities remain, including in control of assets, employment and health. Economic development may have improved the status quo of women in Uganda, but full equality with men remains a distant reality. Tackling the discriminatory social norms that drive such gender inequalities and ensuring that women can equally benefit from Uganda’s development were twin objectives of this first in-depth country study of the OECD Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI).

  • Prunus Africana Rapid Inventory in 8 Districts of Uganda Report
    Prunus africana rapid inventory in 8 districts of Uganda report By Paul Balitta and Jimton A. Titia September 2008 1 Introduction Most African countries are currently involved in exporting Prunus africana bark to pharmaceutical companies in the western world for production of human medicine. Some of the countires participating in this trade include Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Madagascar. Cameroon exports about 2,000 tons per year while DRC and Madagascar each exports about 1,000 tons. The high demand in the export market and the unsustainable harvesting of Prunus africana bark has threatened the survival of the trees in Africa. The trees species is now listed among the endangered species protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) regulations. Currently, for any country to export Prunus africana bark, the buyer(s) have to be registered and licensed by the CITES country representative. Before licensing the buyer, the CITES country representative should have up- date data on the populations of mature Prunus africana tree species, their locations and owners for traceability reasons. The findings of this exercise are to be used as the basis for licensing and giving quarters the exporter of Prunus africana bark. But for meaningful export business, a buyer will requires a minimum between 800 to 1,000 tons per year of raw bark. In order bring employment in the country, a genuine buyer of Prunus africana raw bark should be given conditions to set up processing plant to produce the extract of Prunus africana within 5 years. Since CUDWELL Industries Uganda Limited has exclusively funded the whole Prunus africana rapid inventory, the findings of this inventory should not be disclosed to any body except NFA.
