A CASE FOR COMMUNITY BASED TARGETING IN KOLE DISTRICT. PRESENTED BY ANDREW NEWTON OGEI odrew2002@yahoo.com RS15M13/602 MASTERS OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background Social transfers are increasingly seen as a key tool in Eastern and Southern Africa to combat the triple threat of chronic poverty, hunger and HIV/AIDS (Hyper & Veras, 2012).Social transfers have over the years been the main focus for most aid organisation and multilateral agencies in transferring aid and support to developing countries. These social transfers take the form of cash or in-kind transfer. They are also in form of conditional and unconditional social transfers. According to World Bank, Cash transfers are defined as the provision of assistance in the form of cash to the poor or to those who face a probable risk of falling into poverty in the absence of the transfer. In Africa, these cash transfer programme are being used as a means to fight and eradicate poverty. These programme target different categories of vulnerable groups such as; elderly persons, children, orphans, women, widows and people with disability. In Africa cash transfer programmes are being implemented in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe to mention but a few. Modest but regular and predictable income transfers helps...

...Uganda Health Profile The country of Uganda also known as the Republic of Uganda gained its Independence from Britain in 1962. Since then there has been constant political, social, and economic struggle. A group known as the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) has caused a great deal of turmoil and forced several peoples to flee the country. There is still conflict to this day but the 35 million residents of this developing country are making efforts toward improving their country and their lives. The population growth rate is 3.32% with a birth rate of 44.5 per 1, 000 greatly exceeding the death rate of 11.26 per 1,000. An average citizens life expectancy is a low 53 years (Central Intelligence Agency, 2013). These statistics are indicators that Uganda is currently in a stage of development. The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) are helping move this country to a healthier more developed state. The citizens of Uganda have been taking great strides to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and improve their country by 2015. The first Millennium Development Goal is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Uganda has made the greatest progresses in achieving this goal. From 1992 to 1999 the poverty head count fell from 56% to 35%. It has since fallen to 31% and nearing the goal of 25% or half by 2015. The second target of the first goal, achieving full and productive employment, has not made large improvement but from 2003-2005 there was a 3% increase in employed personas as...

...CHILD SOLDIERS IN UGANDA Name Institution Professor (Tutor) Course City/State Date Abstract More often than not, children have been abducted in the past and recruited to fight wars against their will. One vital question someone might ask is the true definition of a child. What is child? Is it ethical to recruit children in military? These are the core issues I would like to address. The universal definition of child is any person who is below the age of 18yrs, while a few states limit the age to 16yrs and below (UNICEF, 2016). Uganda as a country has been through dark ages, internal feuds that led to the abduction of children and forced into combat Introduction. Child soldering is detrimental as the victims, young and vulnerable experience trauma and societal stigma. The process completely ruins their wellbeing (Francia and Edling, 2016). What led to child soldering in Uganda was a serious conflict between National Resistance Army (NRA) led by the current president of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the Lord Resistance Army (LRA) composed of rebels. The latter won a bush war and assumed leadership and what happened next was identity politics characterized by hate and violence between the northerners and the southerners. A cabinet minister, who hailed from the South and who was affiliated to NRA once perpetuated hate speech by saying that they (the government) don’t care about the North. The Lord Resistance Army, being northerners, were sidelined by Yoweri Museveni, the...

...WP/04/01 Bank of Uganda Working Paper Recognising the Role of Micro Finance Institutions in Uganda Justine Nannyonjo and James Nsubuga _________________________________ Bank of Uganda 2 WP/04/01 BOU Working PAPER Research Department Recognising the Role of Micro Finance Institutions in Uganda By Justine Nannyonjo and James Nsubuga February 2004 Abstract This paper shows that micro finance is an important part of the growth strategy in Uganda and has in the recent years gained increasing recognition. This is evidenced by initiatives and strong commitment by government, donors and practitioners towards supporting micro finance activities in Uganda, and the rapid expansion of the micro finance industry. Integration of Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) into the formal financial system has been established, while measures have been taken to build capacity and enhance coordination in the micro finance industry, as well as expand the outreach of sustainable micro finance. The paper, however, identifies a number of challenges to the development of the micro finance industry: There is need to strengthen the capacity of MFIs to build their management information systems, and to rebuild infrastructure in underserved areas as well as strengthen capacity for identifying potential market structures, which could serve as the basis on which to build sustainable micro finance services. Other challenges include restoring peace in conflict areas and strengthening...

...Development Goals. The discussion will focus on patient satisfaction as an aspect of quality and how it influences quality of care provided from a District healthcare manager’s perspective, analyse factors that influence patient satisfaction, how the MDGs aim to improve the quality of care provided to patients by exposing the gaps between healthcare management perceptions of service quality and how the service is actually being delivered to the consumers. Social constructionism in healthcare In social constructionism it is important to look at social settings and human way of life when focusing on healthcare in different cultures and societies. Class and social stratification can have profound implications for the way we experience health and illness and other life opportunities and expectations. Social structures (like class, religion, gender or law) didn’t suddenly appear fully formed as we know them now, they developed over time, through discourses and continue to move on, formed by economic, political, moral, environmental, social and technological changes. Such changes profoundly affect expectations in health...

...patients and other local organisations. Where rape victims seek care outside conventional health structures, with midwives or traditional birth attendants (TBAs), MSF is starting to liaise more closely with them. TBAs can tell victims about the availability of PEP and refer SGBV cases to MSF health structures. In Sudan, MSF is considering employing qualified TBAs as community health workers, both to better reach out to rape victims and to encourage TBAs to liaise with MSF facilities without fear of losing income from their own patients. comprehensive approach – providing medical care within a framework including IEC, psychosocial support, legal assistance and liaison with other women’s organisations who can provide continued material and social support. In contexts without acute problems of violence, MSF employs a horizontal approach. SGBV is part of all our healthcare programmes globally – over 35 projects worldwide. The challenge for horizontal programmes is that SGBV becomes just one issue of many faced by medical staff in their hectic day’s work. The impact of stigmatisation makes it all the more difficult for SGBV to be handled in a general medical structure. One way that MSF counters this problem is by establishing ‘safe spaces’ in every health structure, where women can speak about their health questions and about SGBV with the assurance of full privacy and confidentiality. MSF would ideally like to open separate women’s clinics in all its projects, if availability of female...

Over the last three decades, FDI inflows have produced powerful stimulus for economic development in various countries across the globe. FDI inflows can help an economy by giving opportunities for improving the level of business and legal services, wholesale and retail trade or service sector. Thus, FDI has the potential to create jobs, improve productivity, the exchange of expertise and technology, increase exports and play a significant role in the long-term economic development (Liargovas & Skandalis, 2011; Financial Times (2012); Omisakin et al., 2009). In terms of foreign direct investments, Africa undoubtedly has all the makings of a prospective investment case due to its natural resources, trade openness, rapid economic and population growth, improving environment and maturing political system. As a result, despite a drop in investment in the last couple of years following a peak in 2008, Africa has remained an attractive investment destination throughout the global downturn and has managed to maintain...

...Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. Jakaya Kikwete, the president of Tanzania, is the EAC's chairman. The organisation was founded originally in 1967, collapsed in 1977, and was revived on 7 July 2000. The East African Community is an international organization whose final aim is to develop a complete integration of its members into an East African Federation. The EAC is an integral part of the African Economic Community. The EAC is a potential precursor to the establishment of the East African Federation, a proposed federation of its members into a single sovereign state. In 2010, the EAC launched its own common market for goods, labour, and capital within the region, with the goal of creating a common currency and eventually a full political federation. The geographical region encompassed by the EAC covers an area of 1,820,664 sq-km with a combined population of about 149,959,317(2013 est.) The drive for the transformation of the East African region, particularly Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, into a functioning entity with rights and duties in International Relations is not new. It dates back to the time when the three East African colonies were still objects of International Law. However, the aspirations for regional cooperation in East Africa acquired individual sovereignty and legitimacy in the post colonial state in the 1960s driven largely by the Pan-Africanist East African leaders, Jomo Kenyatta (Kenya), Julius K. Nyerere (Tanzania) and Milton A. Obote (Uganda). More specifically...

Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Somalia continued to be the countries with the largest internally displaced populations in Africa. The number of IDPs in Africa in 2011 was down from 11.1 million a year earlier, continuing a sustained downward trend since 2004 when there were over 13 million. Violent struggles between groups vying for access to natural resources, land and political representation and power were among the root causes of most of these displacements. These struggles were manifested either by armed conflicts pitting governments and their armed forces against armed opposition groups, or by inter-communal...
