  • Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko
    Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko Municipal Council Empowering Refugee Hosting Districts in Uganda: Making the Nexus Work II2 Empowering Refugee Hosting Districts in Uganda: Making the Nexus Work Foreword This report ‘Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko Municipal Council’ comes in a time when local governments in Uganda are grappling with the effects of refugees who have moved and settled in urban areas. As a country we have been very welcoming to our brothers and sisters who have been seeking refuge and we are proud to say that we have been able to assist the ones in need. Nonetheless, we cannot deny that refugees have been moving out of the gazetted settlements and into the urban areas, which has translated into increasing demands on the limited social amenities and compromises the quality of life for both refugees and host communities, this whilst the number of self-settled refugees continues to grow. This report aims to address the effects the presence self-settled refugees have on urban areas and the shortfalls local governments face in critical service delivery areas like education, health, water, livelihoods and the protection of self-settled refugees if not properly catered for. So far, it has been difficult for the local governments to substantiate such cases in the absence of reliable data. We are therefore very pleased to finally have a reference document, which addresses the unnoticed and yet enormous challenges faced by urban authorities hosting refugees, such as Koboko Municipal Council. This document provides us with more accurate and reliable data, which will better inform our planning, and enhances our capacity to deliver more inclusive services.

    CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA:: 7(3) 180-198 UMU Press 2009 CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN THE WEST NILE REGION OF UGANDA: EX-POST EVALUATION OF A PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTED BY DOCTORS WITH AFRICA CUAMM Maria-Pia Waelkens#, Everd Maniple and Stella Regina Nakiwala, Faculty of Health Sciences, Uganda Martyrs University, P.O. Box 5498 Kampala, Uganda. #Corresponding author e-mail addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Disability is a common occurrence in many countries and a subject of much discussion and lobby. People with disability (PWD) are frequently segregated in society and by-passed for many opportunities. Stigma hinders their potential contribution to society. Doctors with Africa CUAMM, an Italian NGO, started a project to improve the life of PWD in the West Nile region in north- western Uganda in 2003. An orthopaedic workshop, a physiotherapy unit and a community-based rehabilitation programme were set up as part of the project. This ex-post evaluation found that the project made an important contribution to the life of the PWD through its activities, which were handed over to the local referral hospital for continuation after three years. The services have been maintained and their utilisation has been expanded through a network of outreach clinics. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) workers mobilise the community for disability assessment and supplement the output of qualified health workers in service delivery. However, the quality of care during clinics is still poor on account of large numbers. In the face of the departure of the international NGO, a new local NGO has been formed by stakeholders to take over some functions previously done by the international NGO, such as advocacy and resource mobilisation.

  • Uganda Decentralization: Governance Adrift | 3
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 11, Issue 4 | Summer 2010 Decentralization and Conflict in Uganda: Governance Adrift TERRELL G. MANYAK & ISAAC WASSWA KATONO Abstract: This study examines the challenges that threaten one of Africa’s most ambitious experiments in political, administrative and fiscal decentralization. Based on extensive interviews with local government leaders throughout Uganda, the research uncovered a complex interplay of conflicts that impact decision-making effectiveness. The sources of these conflicts center around (a) the impact of national politics on local government as the country approaches the 2011 election, (b) the inability to meet rising citizen demand for services as the tax base of local governments continues to erode, (c) the corrosive impact of social conflicts stemming mostly from poverty and illiteracy complicated by tribal and ethnic differences, and (d) the challenges of developing honest and effective leadership in local government. Can Uganda unravel this web of conflicts to bring meaningful governance to this young nation? Indeed, many countries within the developing world are watching this experiment with a great deal of interest. Introduction The Uganda experiment in local government was born out of a blend of idealism and practical necessity. The idealism arose from a nation that dedicated itself to building democracy after years of brutal despotism. The practical necessity came from the need to provide basic services in an environment where local government had essentially disintegrated. The result was a multilayered system of directly elected district and lower local councils with significant responsibilities for delivering basic services. The international community strongly supported this action and hailed it as an example of how other developing countries should proceed with nation-building.1 While the local government system was initially well accepted, Ugandans now appear increasingly disenchanted with the corruption, mismanagement, and bitter political conflicts that are regularly reported in local newspapers.

  • Survey Highlights on Self-Settled Refugees in Koboko Municipal
    Survey Highlights on Self-Settled Refugees in Koboko Municipal Council Empowering Refugee Hosting Districts in Uganda: Making the Nexus Work Introduction to the Survey This report presents the Highlights of the household survey conducted on Self-Settled Refugees in Koboko Municipal Council (July- August 2018), as part of the Programme “Strengthening Refugee Hosting Districts in Uganda: Making the Nexus Work”. The programme is implemented by VNG International (the international cooperation agency of the Association of Netherlands Municipalities) and financed by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Koboko District Local Government is one of the beneficiaries within the programme, along with Adjumani and Yumbe District Local Governments. The Uganda Local Government Association (ULGA) is a key partner in this programme. The survey was premised on the fact that in Koboko Municipal Council the presence of self-settled refugees puts a lot of strain on the already stressed service delivery and is posing significant challenges to the local government. Some of the notable challenges include: conflicts with the law, rampant cases of child neglect and abuse, prostitution, theft and armed robberies and conflicts with the host communities over natural resources and food scarcity. Besides the above, the host communities are grappling with a strain on healthcare provision, congestion in schools and at water points, poor waste management and sanitation, scarcity of housing and rising prices of goods and services. The presence of self-settled refugees has not been provided for in the district and municipal budgeting process, given that census data 2014 serve as a basis for planning and therefore no additional funding is guaranteed by the government and development partners.
