The civilian population is vulnerable to being abducted, beaten, maimed, tortured, raped, violated and murdered on a daily basis. Over 20,000 children have been abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and forced into fighting and sexual slavery. Up to 40,000 children commute nightly to sleep in centres of town and avoid abduction. Victims and perpetrators are often the same person, and currently there is no system of accountability for those most responsible for the atrocities.

  • Paraa Safari Lodge
    Paraa Safari Lodge Established in 1954, Paraa Safari Lodge is in Murchison Falls National Park. The lodge is located in the north west of Uganda over looking one of nature's best kept secrets, the River Nile, on its journey from its source at Lake Victoria to join Lake Albert – here it is suddenly channeled into a gorge only six meters wide, and cascades 43 meters below. The earth literally trembles at Murchison Falls - one of the world's most powerful flows of natural water. The safari décor of the lodge still reflects the bygone era of early explorers, enshrined with a modern touch. The luxurious pool overlooks the winding River Nile below, which was the setting for the classic Hollywood movie "The African Queen" (starring Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart). Paraa Safari Lodge offers a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure. Each of the 54 rooms is a haven of style and serenity, complete with balcony and private bathroom. In our standard single, double and twin rooms, you will find a simple safari atmosphere with a level of comfort that will not disappoint. These rooms are perfectly situated to view the lodge’s swimming pool, as well as the winding River Nile beyond. Our suites are the perfect accommodation for guests who want a little bit more space to relax. Suites have a living room with sofas where you can use the space to either relax or entertain. For those seeking the ultimate comfort; the Queen’s cottage offers a different world of experience, novelty and exclusivity. The unique architecture compliments the landscaped environment and fantastic views and the grand balcony boasts spectacular views of lush vegetation, rich wildlife, and the famous River Nile.

  • “Making Bush Meat Poachers Willingly Surrender Using Integrated Poachers Awareness Programme: a Case of Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda”
    “Making Bush Meat Poachers Willingly Surrender Using Integrated Poachers Awareness Programme: A Case of Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda”. S S. Kato + , J O Okumu ++ . Abstract This paper is an interesting analysis of a unique case in MFPA, one of the East African National Parks in Uganda, where wild animal poachers are targeted in an intensive integrated education and awareness programme that makes them publicly surrender with their tools. The paper brings out yet another important approach that emphasises that for sustainable management of a protected area to be attained, involvement of local community is very important as opposed to the traditional approach of law enforcement, a practice prominent in the last centaury with limited success. MFPA was one of the most tourists’ destinations in the 1960s only to be devastated during Uganda’s civil unrest of 1970s and 1980s owing to the lack of awareness by the local communities that the resources in the PA are important to them too. As the wildlife population is steadily increasing in MFPA, any approach such as the above that has demonstrated a positive move towards sustainable management is welcome. It is a strategy, which can be tried in other protected areas especially in the tropics.

  • AVIATION, TOURISM and CONSERVATION NEWS from Eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands
    AVIATION, TOURISM AND CONSERVATION NEWS from Eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands. A weekly roundup of breaking news, reports, travel stories and opinions by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang H. Thome You can get your daily breaking news updates instantly via Twitter by following @whthome, join me on www.facebook.com/WolfgangHThome where the articles also ‘cross load’ or read the daily postings on my blog via www.wolfganghthome.wordpress.com which you can also ‘follow’ to get immediate notification when a new article is posted. First edition December 2012 East Africa News UNITED WE FLY, DIVIDED WE DON’T? The recently held annual general meeting of AFRAA in Johannesburg sprang a few surprises on delegates and aviation pundits, when none other than Kenya Airways’ CEO Dr. Titus Naikuni had the room go so shtumm that a falling leaf could have been heard, as he floated the idea of the key sub Saharan airlines merging to weather the onslaught of the newly emerged Gulf giants as well as the legacy carriers from Europe, all keenly eyeing the continent’s traffic potential. Participants, according to one regular aviation source who attended the conference, sat up literally pinching themselves to make sure they were not dreaming this up, as Dr. Naikuni elaborated on the competitive threat to African airlines, who, no matter how strong individually or within their alliances, were at the receiving end of Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad and more recently of such emerging giants like Turkish, all expanding their destination network across the continent at the expense of the often weak national airlines but even at the expense of the three African giants, minnows though in comparison to what they face as competition in the skies above Africa.

  • UCF-MFPA-Stakeholder-Forum-Report
    IMPLEMENTING PARK ACTION PLANS STAKEHOLDER COORDINATION FORUM REPORT Convened by UGANDA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION November 2018 Part of the Implementing Park Action Plans project, led by IIED in partnership with Uganda Wildlife Authority, Uganda Conservation Foundation, Village Enterprise and Wildlife Conservation Society. Funded by the UK Government through the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund. PREAMBLE The Murchison Falls Protected Area stakeholder coordination forum took place at Country Inn, Masindi on 23rd October 2018. Of 36 invited guests, speakers and organisers, 29 attended (see attendee sheet in Annex 1). Every district bordering MFPA1 was represented by at least one local government official. Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWa) was represented by staff from the Kampala headquarters, MFCA headquarters at Paraa and both Bugungu and Karuma wildlife reserves. Civil society representation included actors delivering projects in Buliisa, Masindi, Kiryandongo, Oyam and Nwoya districts. The coordination forum is funded by the UK Government through the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund. OPENING REMARKS Adonia Bintoora, Senior Manager – Community-based Wildlife Enterprises, UWA Adonia officially opened the forum, making the following remarks. 1. As human populations worldwide increase, wildlife is becoming increasingly isolated into islands of natural habitat. Uganda is not immune to this and is facing multiple challenges in conserving wildlife whilst ensuring better futures for its people. 2. This forum came about from research conducted by IIED into the drivers of wildlife crime in Uganda and is intended for actors working around the Murchison Falls Protected Area. UWA staff in MFCA are just 368 people – those 368 people cannot be expected to protect wildlife in isolation from the thousands of people who live around the park, or without the support from other stakeholders operating in these areas.
