The report fits within the three core areas of the UN’s efforts to save lives, protect people, and support countries to better rebuild from COVID-19. It complements the health response, led by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the humanitarian response, outlined in the UN-led COVID-19 Global Humanitarian Response Plan and sets a pathway for recovery and future resilience-building. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been designated by the UN Secretary-General as the technical lead on the socioeconomic pillar of the UN support. In Uganda, UNDP provided technical leadership to the drafting and consolidation of the report under overall leadership of the UN Resident Coordinator. The report leveraged the core competencies and comparative advantages of UN entities that provided substantive and technical inputs into different aspects of the report. This collaboration enriched the report tremendously by bringing together many different perspectives, but all anchored on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Leave No One Behind (LNOB) principles. The specific chapter contributions were as follows: CHAPTER 2: By UNDP, with inputs from the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) on remittances, and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) on trade; CHAPTER 3: By Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with additional inputs on environment from UNDP and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA); CHAPTER 4: By UNCDF, with analysis of impacts on informally employed women in markets by UN Women and reviewed by the International Labour Organization (ILO); CHAPTER 5: By the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on the COVID-19 risk index, assessment of health and health sector knock-on effects by World Health Organisation (WHO), UNCDF on Local Government service delivery analysis, UNDP on the National Human Development Index, and United Nations Educational,

  • RFQ for Goods/Services
    UNOPS eSourcing v2017.1 Section II: Schedule of Requirements eSourcing reference: RFQ/2020/18213 Feasibility Study of Kampala-Jinja Express (KJE) Kinawataka Sustainable Wetland Management Initiative Introduction The Kampala-Jinja Expressway (KJE) project is one of the five grand infrastructural development projects earmarked by the Government of Uganda to spur socio-economic transformation. The 95- km highway is part of the northern trade corridor from Mombasa that is expected to boost trade between Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and Tanzania. The construction is expected to affect over 100,000 people with the bulk of the people to be affected and displaced to create a Right of Way (ROW) coming from Kasokoso, Kinawataka informal settlements, and Nakawa Market. Cities Alliance is leading a consortium comprising of Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Slum Dwellers International (SDI), Platform for Vendors Association (PLAVU), and Association of Volunteers in International Service (AVSI) to implement a 24- months KJE “No One Worse Off” (KJE NOWO) project with funding from European Union (EU). The project aims to facilitate a smooth relocation of affected communities from the Right of Way (ROW) of the Kampala Jinja Expressway (KJE) following global safeguard standards as described in the Resettlement and Livelihood Restoration Plan (RLRP) for lot 1 of the Kampala – Jinja Expressway (KJE) and the Kampala Southern Bypass (KSB). The project aims to achieve this through 4 purposes, namely: • Purpose 1: Secure tenure, household and business plans are agreed between the government and community stakeholders to support identifying alternative sites for housing and markets relocated households and businesses re-integration. • Purpose 2: The most vulnerable households are identified and empowered to adapt to the new situation caused by the impact of KJE construction.

Introduction In the history of crop cultivation in Uganda few crops have hardly attracted such a sudden attention as rice has been attracting since around the turn of the century. Rice being not a traditional staple crop in Uganda for consumers as well as for farmers, the production and consumption of rice used to be negligible. At around the time of independence in 1960, rice took only 0.5% of total per-capita calorie intake of Ugandan people and 0.05% of the total area planted by Ugandan farmers to major staple food crops (plantains, cassava, sweet potatoes, millet, sorghum, maize and rice, in descending order), according to the „official‟ statistics as reported to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAOSTAT 2012).

  • Nakawa Municipality
    FOREWORD This Slum Settlement Profile comes at an opportune time – a time when the city of Kampala is experiencing unprecedented growth in the history of Uganda. This growth and expansion is visible through the mushrooming of informal settlements across the different divisions of Kampala, especially in the low-lying areas of the city. This expansion has definitely exerted enormous pressure on land, with the poor occupying open spaces and the rich pushing the poor out of settlements for commercial and more formalised developments. The urban infrastructure (services and utilities) has not been spared as many residents demand for better quality water, sewer/ sanitation facilities, electricity, roads, security, and proper solid waste management systems. While the city still grapples with serving the existing communities, there are thousands that are flocking to the city in search of employment opportunities and better services. The invisible challenge for both the city and the communities has been lack of data/ information concerning the informal settlements, leading to a very wide gap between the plans and the priorities for the slum residents. The variables looked at in this Slum Profile include, among other factors, Security of Tenure, Housing, Water and Sanitation, Economic Activities, Accessibility, Drainage, and Solid Waste Management. Perhaps, the most outstanding and profound aspect is that this Slum Profile is not a collection of information from lawyers, teachers, doctors, or academicians, but rather ideas from the real slum dwellers who interface with the day-to- day challenges of slum life.
