  • Part of a Former Cattle Ranching Area, Land There Was Gazetted by the Ugandan Government for Use by Refugees in 1990
    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Working Paper No. 32 UNHCR’s withdrawal from Kiryandongo: anatomy of a handover Tania Kaiser Consultant UNHCR CP 2500 CH-1211 Geneva 2 Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] October 2000 These working papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online at <http://www.unhcr.org/epau>. ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction The Kiryandongo settlement for Sudanese refugees is located in the north-eastern corner of Uganda’s Masindi district. Part of a former cattle ranching area, land there was gazetted by the Ugandan government for use by refugees in 1990. The first transfers of refugees took place shortly afterwards, and the settlement is now well established, with land divided into plots on which people have built houses and have cultivated crops on a small scale. Anthropological field research (towards a D.Phil. in anthropology, Oxford University) was conducted in the settlement from October 1996 to March 1997 and between June and November 1997. During the course of the fieldwork UNHCR was involved in a definitive process whereby it sought to “hand over” responsibility for the settlement at Kiryandongo to the Ugandan government, arguing that the refugees were approaching self-sufficiency and that it was time for them to be absorbed completely into local government structures. The Ugandan government was reluctant to accept this new role, and the refugees expressed their disbelief and feelings of betrayal at the move.

  • Bujagali Final Report
    INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL COMPLIANCE REVIEW REPORT ON THE BUJAGALI HYDROPOWER AND INTERCONNECTION PROJECTS June 20, 2008 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The IRM Compliance Review Panel could not have undertaken and completed this report without the generous assistance of many people in Uganda and at the African Development Bank. It wishes to express its appreciation to all of them for their cooperation and support during the compliance review of the Bujagali Hydropower and Interconnection projects. The Panel thanks the Requesters and the many individuals from civil society and the communities that it met in the Project areas and in Kampala for their assistance. It also appreciates the willingness of the representatives of the Government of Uganda and the projects’ sponsors to meet with the Panel and provide it with information during its visit to Uganda. The Panel acknowledges all the help provided by the Resident Representative of the African Development Bank in Uganda and his staff and the willing cooperation it has received from the Bank’s Management and staff in Tunis. The Panel appreciates the generous cooperation of the World Bank Inspection Panel which conducted its own review of the “UGANDA: Private Power Generation Project”. The Compliance Review Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel coordinated their field investigations of the Bujagali projects and shared consultants and technical information during this investigation in order to enhance the efficiency and cost effectiveness of each of their investigations. While this collaboration between the Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel worked to the mutual benefit of both parties, each Panel focused its compliance review on its own Bank’s policies and procedures and each Panel has made its own independent judgments about the compliance of its Management and staff with its Bank’s policies and procedures.

  • Executive Summary
    KARUMA HPP (600 MW) __________________________________________ EIPL Executive Summary Uganda is currently facing a huge electricity supply deficit; it has one of the world’s lowest levels of electricity development as well as the lowest per capita electricity consumption. Over 90 percent of the country's population is not connected to the national grid, much of the electricity network at present is poorly maintained and country the experiences frequent power cuts. According to the National Development Plan (NDP- 2010/11-2014) the present peak demand of Uganda is about 400 MW or more which has been growing at an annual rate of 8%, to meet this growth with demand about 20 MW of new generating capacity needs to be added each year. NDP further identifies that, current levels of electricity supply cannot support heavy industries limited generation capacity and corresponding limited transmission and distribution network as among other key constraints to the performance of the energy sector in the country. Given the large and growing gap between electricity supply and demand in Uganda, a number of electricity generation alternatives were explored under Rural Electrification Programme for next 20 years. Studies over various planning horizons were also examined and prioritized for the country under the Hydropower Master Plan. The conclusions from the evaluation of these generation alternatives reveals that large scale hydroelectric development is the most economical way forward for the country in the short-medium term. Therefore, to meet the growing electricity demand seven potential hydropower sites have been examined downstream of Bujagali Hydro Power Project (which is already under construction) over River Victoria Nile from Lake Victoria to Lake Albert as river is the primary hydrological resource available in country.

Human factors in oil-related corruption is seen to play a bigger role in lifting the pending oil resource curse. Public demand for transparency and accountability is necessary, but not enough to solve the problem. Government officials named in corrupt practices must desist from the vice. To reduce the degree of severity of corrupt practices, genuine efforts must be made to assist people to recognize the negative significance of these human factors and work towards reducing them. The primary sources of political-corporate corruption is decay of transparency and accountability which lead to economic scandals and total national de-development. Oil and other natural resources are present across Africa. But how have the Africans benefited from the abandat resource? Editorial The Uganda oil industry started on a wrong footing.

    Annex 3: Baseline Survey Report <Fish> 1 Survey objectives The purpose of the survey was to identify important areas for the various fish species in and around the Ayago Hydropower Project area. The results of the survey would indicate the location of the critical areas/habitat types for various resident fish species. Physical water quality would be measured in the field using electronic probes to give a quick indication on habitat quality. A comparison with results of similar surveys on River Nile would be made to gauge the importance of Ayago hydropower project area as habitats for fishery biodiversity. 2 Survey methodology The fish survey was conducted along the south and north banks of River Nile within the Ayago Hydropower Project area. In particular fish surveys were made in the following zones: i The south and north banks of the proposed inflow and outflow zones of the hydropower generation tunnel; ii The zone of convergence of River Ayago and other selected tributaries, with River Nile along the north and south banks. Six survey points with a total of 17 sites were identified and surveyed. Selection of the survey sites was representative of the major habitat types including river mouths, bays, water flow characteristics notably turbulent waters close to rapid, areas of counter currents, and waters with moderate flow. The handline with a long cable, basket traps and gillnets of various sizes were the most practical sampling gear from the river banks. A castnet was at times deployed. Hand lines were often deployed to less than 30 m offshore due to heavy presence of hippos.
