  • The Republic of Uganda Kibaale District Local Government Statistical Abstract for Fy 2020/2021
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA KIBAALE DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT STATISTICAL ABSTRACT FOR FY 2020/2021 Kibaale District Local Government P.O Box 2, KARUGUUZA E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.kibaale.go.ug i FOREWORD The importance of statistics in informing planning and monitoring of government programmes cannot be over emphasized. We need to know where we are, determine where we want to reach and also 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. However, these statistics have in many occasions been national in outlook and less district specific. The development of a district-based Statistical Abstract shall go a long way to solve this gap and provide district tailored statistics and will reflect the peculiar nature of the district by looking at specific statistics which would not be possible to provide at a higher level. 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 e.t.c are vital in the monitoring of Universal Primary Education and Universal Secondary Education 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. For data to inform planning and service delivery it should be effectively disseminated to the various users and stakeholders.

  • The Republic of Uganda Ministry of Health Press
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA MINISTRY OF HEALTH PRESS STATEMENT ON RUMOURED EBOLA OUTBREAK IN MUBENDE DISTRICT HON. SARAH OPENDI STATE MINISTER OF HEALTH – GENERAL DUTIES 27th May, 2018 The Ministry of Health has noted with concern reports of an Ebola outbreak in Mubende district making rounds across the different media platforms. We would like to inform the public that there is no Ebola outbreak in Mubende or any other part of the country. What was quoted in the media is rather a case of Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). It is worth noting that the CCHF outbreak in the districts of Luwero and Nakaseke - which share a boarder with Mubende district - was declared on January 4th this year, and efforts to contain it are still ongoing. Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a viral zoonosis (Animal to Human) caused by infection with a tick-borne virus. The hosts of the CCHF virus are mostly wild and domestic animals including cattle, sheep and goats. These animals become infected after being bitten by infected ticks and the virus remains in their bloodstream for about two weeks after infection, allowing the tick-animal-tick cycle to continue when another tick bites. Human transmission may occur when human beings get into contact with infected ticks (through tick bites) or direct contact with blood or tissues of an infected animal. CCHF can be transmitted from one infected human to another by contact with infectious blood or body fluids. In humans, CCHF can present with several symptoms including sudden onset of high-grade fever, muscle aches, neck pains, neck stiffness, backache, headache, sore eyes, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and sometimes bleeding from body openings.
