    Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project (Arsdp)

    Republic of Uganda ALBERTINE REGION SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (ARSDP) RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK (RPF) VOLUME 1 FINAL DRAFT REPORT NOVEMBER 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The Government of Uganda (GoU) with support of the World Bank (IDA) is preparing the Albertine Region Sustainable Development Project. The Albertine Rift Valley is a center for rapid growth which is likely to accelerate with the oil development underway in the region. To ensure that the benefits of the oil development reach the residents of the area, GoU is keen to improve connectivity to and within the region and local economic infrastructure. The two Districts of Buliisa and Hoima are the focus of the project as well as the Town Council of Buliisa. Hoima Municipality is already included in the USMID project, which is shortly to commence, and is thus not included in the ARSDP. Project Components The Project has three components which are outlined below. Component 1. upgrading of 238km of Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima-Masindi-Kigumba is to be funded by both the AfDB (138km) and The World Bank (IDA) (100km). The RAP for this component has already been prepared, comments reviewed by the Bank and an update of PAPs and property is on going therefore this RPF does not cover component 1. The project coverage for component 2 and 3 will be as described below but in the event that additional districts are added under component 2 and any additioanl technical colleges are added under component 3 this RPF will apply. Component 1: Regional Connectivity: Improvement of the Kyenjojo-Kabwoya-Hoima- Kigumba National Road.

    Determinants of Access to HIV Testing Among Older Persons in Rural

    Determinants of Access to HIV Testing among Older Persons in Rural Uganda: A Cross-Sectional Study Stephen Ojiambo Wandera1, 2*, Betty Kwagala1, Fred Maniragaba1, Cyprian Misinde1 and Ronald Naitala3 Institutional Affiliations 1Department of Population Studies, School of Statistics and Planning, College of Business and Management Sciences, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda 2Department of Demography & Population Studies, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa 3Baylor College of Medicine, Children’s Foundation, Kampala, Uganda *Corresponding author: [email protected] 1 Abstract Background: There is limited evidence on access to HIV Testing among older persons in rural Uganda. The aim of this study was to investigate the determinants of access to HIV testing among older persons in rural Uganda. Methods: A survey of 649 older persons was conducted in Hoima and Masaka districts of Uganda. Binary logistic regression of HIV testing and selected explanatory variables were conducted. Results: Over three quarters (83%) and slightly over half (55%) reported lifetime and recent HIV testing. Reduced stigma / caring for an AIDS patient, younger age and being female gender were positively associated with HIV testing among older persons in rural Uganda. Conclusion: Age and gender disparities are critical determinants of access to HIV testing among older persons in Uganda. Interventions to improve HIV testing coverage among older persons should target the oldest old, and older men. Keywords: HIV, AIDS, Testing, VCT, aged, Africa 2 Background Uganda is experiencing a demographic and epidemiological transition, just like other developing countries. The demographic transition which is associated with improvement in life expectancy has led to the ageing of populations and the hence the rise in the proportion of older persons (age 50 and older).

GENERAL CULTURE CULTURE PART 1 – CULTURE GENERAL What is Culture? Fundamental to all aspects of human existence, culture shapes the way humans view life and functions as a tool we use to adapt to our social and physical environments. A culture is the sum of all of the beliefs, values, behaviors, and symbols that have meaning for a society. All human beings have culture, and individuals within a culture share a general set of beliefs and values.
