  • Higher Local Government Statistical Abstract
    HIGHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT STATISTICAL ABSTRACT KAYUNGA DISTRICT P.O Box 18000, Kayunga-Uganda June 2009 Kayunga District Statistical Abstract 2009 FOREWORD The role and importance of Statistics in informing policy, planning and monitoring of government programmes cannot be over emphasized. We need to know where we are, determine where we want to reach and know whether we have reached there. The monitoring of socio-economic progress is not possible without measuring how we progress and establishing whether human, financial and other resources are being used efficiently. High quality, timely and relevant data can facilitate solutions to questions of policy and resource allocation. Such information is much more compelling and easier to understand using geo-spatial tools like GIS and other mapping applications. Furthermore, high quality data provides support to Result-Oriented Management (ROM); by providing necessary statistics for monitoring development performance of specific initiatives, programmes and policies. Evidence-based planning increasingly recognizes the role of well-coordinated and quality data collection, interpretation, and analysis in informing policies and decision-making processes. Data and statistics are required for designing, planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating development programmes. For instance, statistics on school enrolment, completion rates and dropout rates etc are vital in the monitoring of Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE) programmes. Statistics are also needed for establishing grant aid to community schools, staff levels and other investments in the education programmes. The collection and use of statistics and performance indicators is critical for both the successful management and operation of the sectors; including Lower Local Governments. With the advent of the decentralization policy in Uganda, the Local Governments have been empowered and have the responsibility to set their priorities within the National guidelines, and plan for the available resources.

  • 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.

  • 24-Investigation Report (English)
    1 Part One Introduction 2 Chapter 1 The Projects and Their Financing 1. This Report addresses questions concerning three IDA-financed projects in Uganda: namely, (1) the Power III Project, otherwise known as the Owen Falls Extension; the Supplemental Loan to the Power III Project; (2) the Power IV Project, which finances power generation Units 14 and 15, (the latter if economically viable); and (3) the Bujagali Hydropower Project.1 1.1. The Power III Project (Owen Falls Extension) 2. In the mid-1980s, soon after IDA recommenced its involvement in Uganda, a severe deterioration of power infrastructure was identified as a serious obstacle to the revival of the commodity-producing sectors of the economy. In 1988, with IDA’s assistance, the Government began work on the Power III Project. According to the Development Credit Agreement for the Project, its objectives were to: “ (a) assist the Borrower with the continued rehabilitation of the power system in Uganda; and (b) develop its hydroresources and expand the transmission and distribution system, to provide reliable, least-cost energy to Uganda's growing population.”2 The Project provided for: a) “… dam strengthening, construction of a spillway, plant capacity expansion by at least 102MW, and civil works to accommodate a plant capacity of 170MW; b) rehabilitation and expansion of transmission and distribution on the national grid; and c) provision of technical assistance services mainly to the Uganda Electricity Board (UEB) and the Ministry of Energy.” 3 IDA provided a credit of SDR 86,900,000 (about US$125 million) for this work. The projects included the installation of three units (11, 12 and 13) and provided capacity for two additional units in the future.

Planned Revenues for 2016/17 The District has planned this FY 2016/17 to receive more fund s compared to last FY 2015/16. This is because of an estimated increase in the locally raised revenues,central Government transfers and donor funded projects.This increment is due to Government’s commitment to fulfil the 15% Teacher’s pay rise, increase development funding to the LLGs, and have retiring staff and already existing Pensioners receive their entitlements as well as facilitating Local Government political leaders to fulfil their mandate.Also, more resources have been provided for transitional grants to cater for IFMS and the Construction of the District Building block.

  • Bujagali Energy Limited Project Number
    BUJAGALI ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT SUMMARY Project Title: Bujagali Energy Limited Project Number: P-UG-FAB-008 Country: Uganda Department: Energy Financial Solutions, Policy & Regulation Division: Energy Financial Solutions Project Category: 1 1.0 Introduction Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL) is owned by SG Bujagali Holdings Ltd (an affiliate of Sithe Global Power LLC), Jubilee Insurance Company Ltd., as well as the Africa Power Platform PCC, which is owned by CDC (the UK’s Development Finance Institution), the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) and IPS Kenya (“the Sponsors”). Operations and Maintenance Energy (Uganda) Limited (O&ME) operates the Hydropower project. The Bujagali Project is a 250MW hydropower facility — developed through a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) model — on the Victoria Nile River near the town of Jinja. It reached financial close in 2007, eight years after Government of Uganda (GoU) liberalized its electricity sector in 1999. When commissioned in 2012, it did not only displace expensive emergency power generation, but also contributed towards paving the way for a handful of other smaller scale IPPs that will provide more than 200 MW of small hydro, solar, and bagasse power to the network by around 2020. However, to drive the country’s industrialization program, the GoU is actively looking for ways to reduce the country’s electricity tariffs. In this context, and based on the projected tariff profile, the Bujagali tariff is set to increase from 11.3 US cents/kWh in 2016 to 13.3 US cents/kWh in 2018 and to 14.7 US cents by 2023 due to end of a tax ‘holiday’ (accelerated depreciation) and the debt amortization — before decreasing to 7 US cents/kWh from 2024.

    To Reach the Youth: Creating Adolescent-Friendly Reproductive Health Services in Uganda Stembile Matatu, Clinical Services Advisor, DISH II project, Box 3495, Kampala, Uganda Wangoi Njau, Programme Officer, UNFPA, UN Complex, Gigiri, Block Q, Box 30218, Nairobi, Kenya Fatu Yumkella Regional Evaluation and Research Officer, PRIME II/Intrah project, Box 44958, Nairobi, Kenya Paper Submitted for Poster Session 86 (P86.7) At the xx1v IUSSP General Population Conference Salvador- Brazil 18-24 August 2001 Page 1 The Situation in Uganda While the transition from childhood to adolescence presents challenges for parents and communities worldwide, the situation in the Republic of Uganda is striking. One quarter of the population between the ages of 15 and 19 have their first sexual experience by the age of 15, and nearly half of all Ugandan women become mothers by the age of 18. Adolescents account for 30% of the pregnancy-related deaths in Uganda, about 30% of which are caused by postabortion complications.i Adolescents in Uganda also report a high incidence of negative health consequences as a result of unprotected sexual activity. The Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH) initiative was implemented jointly by the Uganda Ministry of Health (MOH), and two USAID funded projects- the PRIME Project, and the Delivery of Improved Services for Health (DISH) project. The project was conceived after it became apparent that Ugandan adolescents were not making use of public health care facilities even though they suffered from myriad health problems. As an initial stage of intervention, the MOH and the District Health Management Team (DHMT) in the district of Jinja in southeastern Uganda, in collaboration with PRIME and DISH, established an ARH pilot project within four existing health care centers in Jinja.
