Test positivity rate (TPR)—confirmed cases per 100 suspected cases tested, and test-confirmed malaria case rate (IR)—cases per 1,000 population, are common indicators used routinely for malaria surveillance. However, few studies have explored relationships between these indicators over time and space.

The impacts of climate change will have disproportionate effects on populations with higher existing vulnerability. Indigenous people consistently experience higher levels of FI than their non-Indigenous counterparts and are more likely to be dependent upon land-based resources. The present study aimed to understand the sensitivity of the food system of an Indigenous African population, the Batwa of Kanungu District, Uganda, to seasonal variation. Design: A concurrent, mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) design was used. Six cross-sectional retrospective surveys, conducted between January 2013 and April 2014, provided quantitative data to examine the seasonal variation of self-reported household FI. This was complemented by qualitative data from focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews collected between June and August 2014. Setting: Ten rural Indigenous communities in Kanungu District, Uganda.

  • FY 2018/19 Vote:519 Kanungu District
    LG WorkPlan Vote:519 Kanungu District FY 2018/19 Foreword This budget was prepared following the fiscal decentralization strategy that empowers local governments to plan for themselves. A number of consultative meetings were held including holding of the district budget conference that enabled different stakeholders to contribute ideas of the planned development in the District. It has been driven by the approved district development plan. The priority interventions for 2018-19 are those that will directly or indirectly contribute to the district vision of having a transformed district with educated population, clean environment, good health and sustainable livelihood projects at every house hold by 2040. The district strategies for poverty reduction will focus on improving critical areas that satisfy people¶s basic needs. Focus will mainly be in investing in Agriculture, education, health, roads and tourism development. However, due to the district revenue constraint, the key to development lies on improving revenue generation and also in expenditure prioritization and value for money. The District will continue to focus on revenue enhancement strategies such as promotion of public ± private partnership and also promoting accountability and transparency. The target resources are Grants from Central Government, Donor funds and Local Revenue. These resources are meager and I therefore appeal to all stakeholders, development partners, technical staff, Non-Governmental Organisations, Community Based organisations for concerted efforts and resource commitment in order to realize what has been prepared in this budget for 2018/2019. We would like to recognize all those who participated in the discussion of this budget when they attended the District Budget Conference at the District Headquarters on 17th October 2018.
