It is Tchallenging mainly due to the Home’s very high Aid Dependency which is not ideal, as it cannot be sustained forever.

There is no organization or institu- tion that funds the Home on a regular basis. The person-to-person sourcing of financial support policy that we are currently using has worked in the past to sustain the Home, especially in terms of recurrent expenditure.

  • Sustainable Utilisation of Energy and Biodiversity Resources for Wealth Creation and Development’, 10–13 March 2009, Kampala, Uganda
    International Roundtable on ‘Sustainable Utilisation of Energy and Biodiversity Resources for Wealth Creation and Development’, 10–13 March 2009, Kampala, Uganda. Introduction The increasing population pressure and demand for a better life style have necessitated a need for greater use of energy. This has resulted in mounting pressure on the use of available resources which is now mostly met by fossil fuels. The rate of energy consumption is much higher than it was ever before and the demand is on increase. There is a negative balance between source depletion and replenishment by natural processes. This has also resulted in uncontrollable rise in pollution due to air, water, soil and noise besides electro-pollution, causing the very survival of life difficult on Planet Earth. An increase in the level of carbon dioxide, possibly causing a temperature rise leading to global warming and subsequent melting of glaciers culminating into climate change is a phenomenon of utmost concern. This has serious economic and social implications. Climate change linked to emissions is then about limiting growth, and also sharing growth among nations which has its economic overtones. The emerging scenario has led to a tremendous pressure on survival of species type (both plants and animals). The number of such species is registering a significant decline, thereby posing a serious threat to the sustainability of ecosystem itself. A demand for green energy is understood but the quantum and nature of its exploitation remains to be settled. Solar, the ultimate source of energy is now widely discussed, though increase in its efficiency usage is still a matter of continued investigation.

Malar J (2017) 16:322 DOI 10.1186/s12936-017-1970-1 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Prevalence of polymorphisms in glucose‑6‑phosphate dehydrogenase, sickle haemoglobin and nitric oxide synthase genes and their relationship with incidence of uncomplicated malaria in Iganga, Uganda Catherine Nassozi Lwanira1†, Fred Kironde2*† , Mark Kaddumukasa3 and Göte Swedberg4 Abstract Background: Host genetics play an important role in Plasmodium falciparum malaria susceptibility. However, information on host genetic factors and their relationships with malaria in the vaccine trial site of Iganga, Uganda is limited. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of selected host genetic markers and their relationship to malaria incidence in the vaccine trial site of Iganga, Uganda. In a 1-year longitudinal cohort study, 423 children aged below 9 years were recruited and their malaria episodes were investigated. Host genetic polymor- phisms were assessed by PCR–RFLP, haemoglobin electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. Using a multivariate negative binomial regression model, estimates of the impact of human genetic polymorphisms on malaria incidence were performed. In all statistical tests, a P value of <0.05 was considered as signifcant. Results: The prevalences of sickle cell haemoglobin trait, G6PD c.202 G>A (rs 1050828) and NOS2 954 G>C (rs 1800482) variants were 26.6, 22.7 and 17.3%, respectively. Inducible nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2 −954 G>C; rs 1800482) heterozygosity was associated with lower incidence of malaria in all age groups {Adjusted− incident rates ratio (aIRR) 0.59; 95% CI [0.386–0.887]; P 0.012)}.
