Abstract:
The paper presents results of a study on information needs and use among urban farmers in Kampala City in Uganda. An information need is recognition that one's knowledge is inadequate to satisfy a goal. Urban farming is characterized by low agricultural production leading to food insecurity. Although urban farming is viewed as an important survival strategy, the information needs of urban farmers in Kampala City are not known. The study used both qualitative and quantitative study design. Methods used were face-to face interview and focus group discussion. Respondents included 380 urban farmers and 36 focus group respondents. Results show that the information needs of the urban farmers were as varied as the heterogeneity of their agricultural enterprises and information was used for different purposes and depended on the type of farming enterprise(s) and activity undertaken. The paper recommends that the dissemination of agricultural information in Kampala City needs to be based on the urban farmers' enterprise groups and their information needs.

Abstract:
Air quality in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, has deteriorated significantly in the past two decades. We made spot measurements in Mpererwe district for airborne particulate matter PM2.5(fine particles) and coarse particles. PM was collected on Teflon-membrane filters and analyzed for mass, 51 elements, 3 anions, and 5 cations. Both fine and coarse particle concentrations were above 100 µg/m3in all the samples collected. Markers for crustal/soil (e.g., Si and Al) were the most abundant in the PM2.5fraction, followed by primary combustion products from biomass burning and incinerator emissions (e.g., K and Cl). Over 90% of the measured PM2.5mass can be explained by crustal species (41% and 59%) and carbonaceous aerosol (33%–55%). Crustal elements dominated the coarse particles collected from Kampala. The results of this pilot study are indicative of unhealthy air and suggest that exposure to ambient air in Kampala may increase the burden of environmentally induced cardiovascular, metabolic, and respiratory diseases including infections. Greater awareness and more extensive research are required to confirm our findings, to identify personal exposure and pollution sources, and to develop air quality management plans and policies to protect public health.

Abstract:
Pollution resulting from increased human activities is threatening Lake Victoria, its effects are characterized by eutrophication, high turbidity, pH, iron(II) concentration and chemical oxygen demand (COD). In this study we have investigated the effect of Fe-montmorillonite clay from Chelel on turbidity, pH, concentration of iron, total suspended soils, total nutrients and COD of water sampled from Murchison bay watershed of Nakivubo channel south of Kampala. Varying amounts of clay powder was vigorously stirred with water samples for 5 minutes, filtered using Whatman paper at ambient temperatures. The optimum concentration of clay of 0.4 gL-1 was found to produce 73.5+2% fall in COD indicating elimination of microbes and organic waste. The pH of water became 6.3+ 0.2 showing that impurities had been bound to clay. The TSS and nutrients in MB water also decreased greatly when clay was stirred with water at ambient temperatures. The available data can be relied on to recommend use of this clay in treatment of waste water and/or sewage from Kampala. Further studies on combined use of clays with alums, zeolites and/or lime need to be carried out.

Abstract:
A survey was conducted at Wambizi slaughterhouse in Kampala City, Uganda, to ascertain the prevalence of Taenia species infection in pigs via serology, as well as the role of meat inspection in control of these parasitic conditions in carcasses of slaughtered pigs. A total of 620 pigs were sampled using simple random selection during three months. Individual pig data including sex, breed, district of origin, antemortem clinical signs and postmortem lesions were recorded. Blood samples were collected for serological assays. A questionnaire was used to capture perceptions of meat inspectors and pig traders on T. solium cysticercosis. Of the 620 pig inspected carcasses, only four were observed with T. solium cysts and none had T. hydatigena cysts. Up to 67 (10.8%) pigs tested positive by B158C11A10/B60H8A4 Ag-ELISA serology. Seroprevalences were significantly different between districts (χ2 = 45.98; p < 0.001) with pigs from the Eastern districts having the highest seroprevalence. The two meat inspectors at the slaughterhouse had knowledge of pork inspection protocol for Taenia spp. infections, although they did not follow it properly because of the high number of carcasses to be inspected daily. All the 15 traders interviewed had heard about porcine cysticercosis but only five had ever seen cystic pork. T. solium cysticercosis is still prevailing in pigs in Uganda. Meat inspection is not a reliable diagnostic tool for efficient detection of T. solium cysticercosis.

Abstract:
BackgroundDespite significant progress made by many countries towards meeting the millennium development goals and now sustainable development goals, there has been little improvement in access to essential medicines in developing countries.ObjectivesThe main aim of this study is to assess the factors influencing annual procurement planning of medicines and medical supplies in the public health facilities in Kampala district.MethodsThis study targeted respondents from government Health facilities in Kampala with a total population of 424 employees and applied simple random sampling to select 206 health workers. The researcher adopted mixed research approach with application of descriptive statistics, correlational and explanatory research designs that were used to maximize reliability and validity of findings. While the qualitative data was gathered through reviewing logistics tools, a physical count of the 30% purposively selected stock cards and interview of the staffs was carried out in health facilities in Kampala district, a Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 was used to analyze the quantitative data. Accordingly, a chi-square was used to determine the association between independent and dependent variables.ResultsThe findings indicated that 37.8% of the staff responded positively about the availability of annual procurement plan while the rest were from various health facilities. A significant association was observed between knowledge and availability of annual Procurement planning (X2 = 34.7; p value =.0001), as well as management support and Annual Procurement Planning (X2 = 9.87; P value = .008).ConclusionIn conclusion, the finding generated from analysis of quantitative and qualitative data revealed that a majority of the factors influencing annual procurement planning had a positive effect on medical supplies in public health facilities in Uganda although the capacity and capability of health workers, quality of logistics management information systems, and management support desires improvement.

Varying amounts of clay powder was vigorously stirred with water samples for 5 minutes, filtered using Whitman paper at ambient temperatures. The optimum concentration of clay of 0.4gl-1 was found to produce 73.5+ 2% fall in COD indicating elimination of microbes and organic waste. The pH of water became 6.3+ 0.2 showing that impurities had been bound to clay. The turbidity of filtrate dropped to 15.7+ 0.3NTUshowing that clarity of water was improved by adsorption of suspended solids to clay minerals. The concentration of iron(II) fell from 3.7 + 0.3 to 2.5+ 0.2mgl-1 indicating fairly high extent of heavy metal removal from Murchison bay (MB) waters. The TSS and nutrients in MB water also decreased greatly when clay was stirred with water at ambient temperatures.

Abstract:
Background. 270 million workplace accidents occur annually. In Uganda, Kampala district has the highest workplace injury and fatality rates. However, information on personal protective equipment (PPE)—hand gloves, hardhats, overalls, safety boots, earplugs, safety harness with lanyard, and face shields—utilization among building construction workers remains scarce. We assessed PPE utilization and determinants among building construction workers in Kampala, Uganda. Methods. This cross-sectional study involved 385 respondents. Data collected by structured questionnaire was double-entered in EpiData and analyzed in STATA at 5% significance level. Independent determinants of PPE use were established by a stepwise backward logistic regression analysis. Results. 305 (79.2%) respondents were males, 290 (75.3%) were 18–30 years, 285 (74.0%) completed secondary education, and 197 (51.2%) were temporary employees. 60 (15.6%) respondents used PPE. Female sex (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 6.64; 95% CI: 1.55–28.46; P=0.011), temporary (AOR = 0.05; 95% CI: 0.01–0.27; P<0.001) and casual (AOR = 0.01; 95% CI: 0.001–0.071; P<0.001) employment, and previous knowledge of safety measures (AOR = 100.72; 95% CI: 26.00–390.16; P<0.001) were associated with PPE use. Conclusion. PPE use was low in Kampala, Uganda. Building construction companies should implement measures of the Uganda Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Abstract:
La qualité sanitaire du lait cru est une problématique importante en Ouganda, tant pour des raisons socio-économiques que sanitaires. L’étude conduite sur la filière informelle du lait cru en Ouganda a mis en évidence deux principaux points critiques pour la qualité du lait : le manque d’hygiène du lieu de production au lieu de consommation, et l’absence de système efficace de conservation limitant le développement des bactéries pendant le transport vers Kampala. La charge microbienne a atteint en effet des niveaux très élevés, proche de 2 x 106 unités formant colonie par millilitre sur le lait de ferme dans le bassin laitier de Mbarara au sud-ouest du pays, que le transport vers la capitale Kampala a multiplié par un facteur d’environ 150. Il existe, au sein de cette filière informelle, des unités artisanales dites de pasteurisation. Le lait qu’elles produisent est certes exempt de bactéries à sa sortie mais la conservation sur plusieurs jours de ce produit surchauffé pourrait rendre ce procédé plus dangereux que bénéfique. Ces constats doivent alerter tous les acteurs de la filière informelle sur la nécessité de mettre en oeuvre une stratégie d’amélioration de la qualité du lait, à la fois par une modification des pratiques courantes pour qu’elles deviennent plus respectueuses de l’hygiène, et par une amélioration de la conservation du lait au moyen de technologies telles que la réfrigération, la pasteurisation à petite échelle ou encore l’utilisation du système lactoperoxydase. Cette étude a permis d’acquérir des bases techniques et scientifiques pour appuyer les actions visant à améliorer la qualité du lait cru en Ouganda. Quelle que soit la stratégie qui sera adoptée par les autorités, elle ne pourra être mise en oeuvre que si elle implique l’ensemble des acteurs de la filière.

Bibliography: leaves 93-97.
While in sociology, choice and equity have always co-existed; this has not been a subject of attention in the health care market. Following promotion of the public- private mix in the health care sector, there have been concerns that the pursuit of efficiency might compromise equity in accessing health care services. The main concern for this study was that the resulting relative health care resources distribution following public-private interaction has equity implications at the household level. Kampala district in Uganda was used to investigate this concern. Data collected from a household survey, key informant interviews and secondary data on health care resources distribution, was analyzed using STATA statistical package. The study findings indicated that the private health care sector in Uganda has grown in size and that it caters for more people in Kampala district than the public health care sector. The findings further indicated that households use private services due to the perceived high quality of services, availability of drugs, availability of doctors and other health workers and the nearness of private providers. On the other hand, public health services where used or preferred was due primarily to availability of doctors. Other findings indicated that there was a relationship between provider choice/use and the distribution of health care resources particularly; health workers and health care facilities. This applied both at household level and geographically. Utilization of health services also varied with distribution of the same resources. Private provider use was not solely dependent on income and hence ability to pay, but on other factors related to service characteristics such as perceived quality. The findings further show that there are inequities in financing health care services with low-income groups paying relatively more than high- income groups. The study proposes to policy makers a monitoring mechanism of the variables and outcome measures, both at household and sectoral level, in order to minimize inequities in access to health care. The study also recommends that a comprehensive regulatory framework needs to be set up to promote and control the activities of the private health sector in Uganda.

Abstract

Global aquaculture production has grown rapidly and is now among the fastest growing food production sectors in many countries.Introduced over the past 50 years or so,aquaculture in Africa has gone through different levels of growth. The desirability of aquaculture has been due to unreliable and unsustainable use of natural waters for capture fisheries. Due to the country’s concern, the government of Uganda has promoted aquaculture before for nutritional values. However, current policy initiatives that call for collective actions are geared towards commercial aquaculture development.

This work focuses on several aspects of aquaculture development in Uganda viz; past,present and future, potential, reared fish species, benefits, constraints and these are reflected in the policy and institutional arrangements with in the sector. This work has been undertaken with the aim of providing in detail the possible ways and means for sustainable utilization of aquaculture outcomes. Emphasis has been on how members of Kigoowa Catholic Women’s Development Association (KCWDA) have been empowered through group formation and aquaculture activities.

This work also analyses the dynamic gender relations that exist in resource ownership, access and use in Uganda and the implications thereof to aquaculture growth and expansion. Included are the possible options vulnerable people especially women undertake to sustain their livelihoods and those of their families and the community as a whole.

The information in this work is discussed in line with the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework. It therefore aims at providing an additional reference text on the subject and in the context of aquaculture. Details about certain concepts, policies and principles, nature of the sector and supportive literature on various issues are discussed.

This thesis is concerned with Language in Education Policy (LiEP) and literacy acquisition in multilingual Uganda with the urban district of Kampala as the case study. Specifically, the study investigates the implementation of a monoglot LiEP for early literacy acquisition in a multilingual situation. The thesis analyses three LiEP instruments for Uganda, namely; (i) The 1992 Government White Paper on Education, (ii) The 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda and (iii) The Uganda Education Sector Strategic Plan 2004-2015. After that analysis the study presents views and perceptions of LiEP Stakeholders in Uganda; Policy makers, Curriculum developers, Literacy researchers, NGO Officials, Head teachers, Literacy teachers and Parents/Guardians. The study is mainly prompted by the LiEP which recommends English as the Medium of Instruction (MoI) but not the common language to be used throughout the Primary School cycle. The thesis trys to shed light on the following aspects; principles of a LiEP in a multilingual setting, a relevant LiEP model for multilingual situations, multilingualism as a resource for literacy acquisition, appropriateness of a bilingual LiEP in Kampala with a local language, classroom and home literacy practices and lastly, literacy acquisition. The research question is to find out the extent to which the current LiEP in Uganda provides for literacy acquisition in multilingual settings.

Abstract:

It has been argued that the partnering of public and private sectors lead to improvement and betterment in the delivery of municipal social services. The purpose of this study was therefore to find out if, how and why the involvement of the private sector has led to better municipal solid waste management in Kampala’s Makindye Division. I try to analyze the roles and relationships between the public and private actors, the constraints hampering success and finally suggest mechanisms of bettering the partnership. A qualitative approach involving interviews, Focus Group Discussions, observations and photography was used to gather the necessary primary data, while reference to relevant literature provided me with the much needed secondary data. Key informants from the public sector included officials from Kampala City Council, Makindye Division and The National Environment Management Authority; while those from the formal private sector included the Director and field staff of HOMEKLIN Limited and DOT services Limited. The scavengers at the Kiteezi landfill were my informal private respondents. The Director of Urban Community in Development Association (a local Community Based Organization), the Local Council II Chairpersons together with some of the local community members of Katwe I and Luwafu parishes represented the civil society. The study was based on the Actor-Oriented Approach theory as well as on governance perspectives.

The study reveals that despite the lack of measures that ensure reduction, reuse and recycling of solid wastes by the respective actors, an improvement in the management of domestic solid wastes in Makindye Division has resulted from the partnership. Metal recycling and organic waste compositing is privately undertaken by a local Community Based Organization which is not in any way supported by the Division authority. The introduction of waste transfer points and smaller vehicles supplemented by the use of wheelbarrows has increased access to areas that were previously unreachable. Also the adherence to the collection schedule by HOMEKLIN Limited has greatly contributed to an efficient collection of waste from the medium to high income communities of Luwafu parish where there are numerous paying subscribers. However, the low commitment of Makindye Administration in ensuring that it meets its financial obligations of subsidizing waste collection in the low income areas, corruption and patronage of some Division Officials are hindering the success of the programme. This is particularly common in the low income areas of Katwe I parish. The study further reveals that despite being perceived as an ethnic and low caste activity, waste scavenging plays a very crucial role of recovering and reusing materials and ultimately reduce the amount of waste that is finally disposed of. However, the existing legislation does not recognize scavengers as important actors. Much as it deals with a mixture of hazardous and non hazardous waste, the waste disposal operations of DOT Services Limited are meeting acceptable environmental standards. However, the absence of effluent gas monitoring and tapping equipment at the landfill is posing a potential environmental hazard.

The study makes a number of recommendations ranging from administrative overhauls at Makindye Division, waste management policy amendments in regard to reduction, recycling and reuse of materials together with the recognition of informal private waste collectors and scavengers, technical improvements by the private waste collectors and finally economic investments by the Division as a way of reducing dependence on central government remittances.

Abstract:
The way gender relations influence access to care and treatment particularly access to antiretroviral medicines is a challenge to HIV/AIDS programmes and to the individuals and families with HIV. Gender norms that push women and men to adhere to dominant ideals of femininity and masculinity may restrict women's access to economic resources, health care and fuel the spread of HIV. The aim of this study was to determine the role of gender relations in influencing decision-making for access to antiretroviral medicines between partners and in the family.

In the face of rising morbidity and mortality due to HIV / AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa, there has been an increasing pressure to provide life sustaining antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to countries in most urgent need of them. Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) has been identified by policy-makers in Uganda as a potential programme aimed at mitigating the pervasive effect of HIV / AIDS on the social and economic life of the country. Since 2000, the country has shifted its focus from primarily HIV prevention to paying equal attention to care and treatment including ART. Provision of the ART programmes have been made possible through concerted efforts of international and national organizations such as the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), the World Bank, Multi-country AIDS Programme (MAP), Great Lakes Initiative on AIDS (GLIA), the USA President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), UN agencies, Bi-lateral and Government of Uganda inputs (UAC 2004). New and increased funding notwithstanding, the Ugandan population has continued to grow exponentially at a rate of 3.5% and even though the economy has been growing at a rate of 6 % per annum, there is a widening disparity in incomes attributed largely to high levels of unemployment in the country (Ministry of Finance 2002). These income disparities have also greatly contributed to health inequities in Uganda, thus affecting the equitable allocation of the limited health resources including ART. The main aim of the study was to establish the socioeconomic status of those individuals who benefit most from the provision of free ARV drugs and to explore factors that influence the distribution of such benefits. The study was carried out in Kampala district (Uganda's capital city) and Masaka district. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods. Facility-exit interviews with patients accessing free ARVs formed the quantitative method, while Focus Group discussions with community representatives and in-depth interviews with key informants formed the qualitative part of the study. Quantitative data was obtained by use of a questionnaire, which was structured to obtain information on socioeconomic characteristics, including asset possession as a measure of wealth. A principal component analysis was run for both the Uganda Demographic Health Survey (UDHS) and facility-exit asset data to determine utilization of ARV by wealth quintiles. A benefit incidence costing model was also employed to determine monetary benefit of free ARVs in Uganda.

Changes in Antimalarial Drug Policies are intended to improve case management and reduce both social and financial burden associated with malaria. To achieve this providers have to translate the policy into practice since they have the privilege of being the primary contact to those affected by malaria. The main aim of this study is to examine the extent of implementation of the change in antimalarial drug policy in Uganda, from chloroquine monotherapy to combination therapy of CQ+SP for management of uncomplicated malaria. Prescribing practice of health personnel in selected health facilities in Rakai and Kampala Districts is used as a measure of level of adherence to the change in policy.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter addresses the use of partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to determine the requirements for an effective development of water resource management frameworks. The authors developed a quantitative approach using Smart-PLS version 3 to reveal the views of different experts based on their experiences in water-related adaptation to climate change in the Lake Victoria Basin (LVB) in Uganda. A sample size of 152 was computed from a population size of 245 across the districts of Buikwe, Jinja, Mukono, Kampala, and Wakiso. The chapter aimed to determine the relationship among the availability of legal, regulatory, and administrative frameworks, public water investment, price and demand management, information requirements, coordination structures, and analytical frameworks and how they influence the development of water resource management frameworks. The findings revealed that the availability of legal, regulatory, and administrative frameworks, public water investment, price and demand management, information requirements, and coordination structures had significant and positive effects on the development of water resource management frameworks. Public water investment had the highest path coefficient (β = 0.387 and p = 0.000), thus indicating that it has the greatest influence on the development of water resource management frameworks. The R2 value of the model was 0.714, which means that the five exogenous latent constructs collectively explained 71.4% of the variance in the development. The chapter suggests putting special emphasis on public water investment to achieve an effective development of water resource management frameworks. These findings can support the practitioners and decision makers engaged in water-related adaptation to climate change within the LVB and beyond.

Abstract:
Uganda is a landlocked country situated in East Africa and is bordered by Congo, the Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda. Lake Victoria forms part of the southern border. The country’s land area is 241,037 square kilometre (km) with a population of approximately 42.27 million, according to 2019 estimates. Kampala is the capital and by far the largest city in Uganda, with a population around 1.66 million. Kira Town lies approximately 14 km north-east of Kampala. The town is the second largest urban centre of Uganda after Kampala. The Kampala Industrial Business Park is situated at the south-eastern end of Kira town. Nansana, located 13 km northwest of Kampala, serves as a dormitory town to the city of Kampala and there are plans to transform the town into a commercial hub although currently small informal markets dominate the economy. Mbarara in the western region is the capital and main administrative hub and commercial centre of the Mbarara District. It is also the largest industrial town second to Kampala and crucial transportation hub for goods in transit to Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Other main cities include Gulu and Lira in the northern region, and Jinja in the eastern
