Abstract:

The Luzira head, a pottery figure discovered in a Ugandan prison compound in 1929, has remained curiously anonymous ever since. New archaeological work on the northern shores of (Lake) Victoria Nyanza has defined a formative period of political centralisation at the end of the first millennium AD. The authors show that this period of early to late Iron Age transition is where this remarkable object and related figurative material belongs. This has implications both for the formation of kingdoms in Uganda and for the story of African art more generally.

Abstract:

Recent ecological data demonstrate improving outcomes for HIV-infected people in sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, Uganda has experienced a resurgence in HIV incidence and prevalence, but trends in HIV-related deaths have not been well described. Data were collected through the Uganda AIDS Rural Treatment Outcomes (UARTO) Study, an observational longitudinal cohort of Ugandan adults initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) between 2005 and 2013. We calculated cumulative incidence of death within one year of ART initiation, and fit Poisson models with robust variance estimators to estimate the effect enrollment period on one-year risk of death and loss to follow-up. Of 760 persons in UARTO who started ART, 30 deaths occurred within one year of ART initiation (cumulative incidence 3.9%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.7–5.6%). Risk of death was highest for those starting ART in 2005 (13.0%, 95% CI 6.0–24.0%), decreased in 2006–2007 to 4% (95% CI 2.0–6.0%), and did not change thereafter ( P = 0.61). These results were robust to adjustment for age, sex, CD4 cell count, viral load, asset wealth, baseline depression, and body mass index. Here, we demonstrate that one-year cumulative incidence of death was high just after free ART rollout, decreased the following year, and remained low thereafter. Once established, ART programs in President’s Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief-supported countries can maintain high quality care.

Abstract:

Abstract Background WHO revised their HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) monitoring strategy in 2014, enabling countries to generate nationally representative HIVDR prevalence estimates from surveys conducted using this methodology. In 2016, we adopted this strategy in Uganda and conducted an HIVDR survey among adults initiating or reinitiating ART. Methods A cross-sectional survey of adults aged ≥18 years initiating or reinitiating ART was conducted at 23 sites using a two-stage cluster design sampling method. Participants provided written informed consent prior to enrolment. Whole blood collected in EDTA vacutainer tubes was used for preparation of dried blood spot (DBS) specimens or plasma. Samples were shipped from the sites to the Central Public Health Laboratory (CPHL) for temporary storage before transfer to the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) for genotyping. Prevalence of HIVDR among adults initiating or reinitiating ART was determined. Results Specimens from 491 participants (median age 32 years and 61.5% female) were collected between August and December 2016. Specimens from 351 participants were successfully genotyped. Forty-nine had drug resistance mutations, yielding an overall weighted HIVDR prevalence of 18.2% with the highest noted for NNRTIs at 14.1%. Conclusions We observed a high HIVDR prevalence for NNRTIs among adults prior to initiating or reinitiating ART in Uganda. This is above WHO’s recommended threshold of 10% when countries should consider changing from NNRTI- to dolutegravir-based first-line regimens. This recommendation was adopted in the revised Ugandan ART guidelines. Dolutegravir-containing ART regimens are preferred for first- and second-line ART regimens.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Selenium deficiency has been reported to be associated with HIV disease progression and chromium deficiency with insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia. Here, we assessed selenium and chromium status in a cohort of Ugandan HIV+, HIV exposed uninfected (HEU) and HIV negative (HIV−) children and their associations with markers of systemic inflammation, immune activation, and gut integrity. Methods This is a cross-sectional study in HIV+, HEU and HIV unexposed uninfected (HIV-) children aged 2–10 years old enrolled in Uganda. HIV+ children were on stable ART with undetectable viral load. We measured plasma concentrations of selenium and chromium as well as markers of systemic inflammation, monocyte activation, gut integrity and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Results Among HIV+ children (n = 57), 93% had viral load ≤ 20 copies/mL, mean CD4 was 34% and 77% were receiving a non-nucleotide reserve transcriptase regimen. Mean age of all participants was 7 years and 55% were girls. Mean selenium concentrations were higher in the HIV+ group (106 µg/L) compared with the HEU (84 µg/L) and HIV− (98 µg/L) groups (p . Mean chromium concentrations were 1 µg/L; 1 HIV+ child and 6 HEU children had chromium levels > 1 µg/L (p. Conclusion In this cohort of HIV+ children on ART in Uganda, plasma selenium and chromium concentrations appear sufficient. Higher plasma selenium concentrations were associated with lower systemic inflammation and higher gut integrity markers. Although our findings do not support the use of selenium supplementation broadly for HIV-infected children in Uganda, further studies are warranted to assess the role of selenium supplements in attenuating heightened inflammation.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective Immune activation is associated with morbidity and mortality during human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, despite receipt of antiretroviral therapy (ART). We investigated whether microbial translocation drives immune activation in HIV-infected Ugandan children. Methods Nineteen markers of immune activation and inflammation were measured over 96 weeks in HIV-infected Ugandan children in the CHAPAS-3 Trial and HIV-uninfected age-matched controls. Microbial translocation was assessed using molecular techniques, including next-generation sequencing. Results Of 249 children included, 142 were infected with HIV; of these, 120 were ART naive, with a median age of 2.8 years (interquartile range [IQR], 1.7–4.0 years) and a median baseline CD4+ T-cell percentage of 20% (IQR, 14%–24%), and 22 were ART experienced, with a median age of 6.5 years (IQR, 5.9–9.2 years) and a median baseline CD4+ T-cell percentage of 35% (IQR, 31%–39%). The control group comprised 107 children without HIV infection. The median increase in the CD4+ T-cell percentage was 17 percentage points (IQR, 12–22 percentage points) at week 96 among ART-naive children, and the viral load was <100 copies/mL in 76% of ART-naive children and 91% of ART-experienced children. Immune activation decreased with ART use. Children could be divided on the basis of immune activation markers into the following 3 clusters: in cluster 1, the majority of children were HIV uninfected; cluster 2 comprised a mix of HIV-uninfected children and HIV-infected ART-naive or ART-experienced children; and in cluster 3, the majority were ART naive. Immune activation was low in cluster 1, decreased in cluster 3, and persisted in cluster 2. Blood microbial DNA levels were negative or very low across groups, with no difference between clusters except for Enterobacteriaceae organisms (the level was higher in cluster 1; P < .0001). Conclusion Immune activation decreased with ART use, with marker clustering indicating different activation patterns according to HIV and ART status. Levels of bacterial DNA in blood were low regardless of HIV status, ART status, and immune activation status. Microbial translocation did not drive immune activation in this setting.

Abstract:

Background Fishing communities in many Sub-Saharan African countries are a high-risk population group disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. In Uganda, literature on HIV in fishing communities has grown extensively since the first country’s documented case of HIV in a fishing community in 1985. The current study describes the status of the HIV burden, prevention, and treatment in Ugandan fishing communities. Method This scoping review was conducted based on the York Framework outlined by Arksey and O’Malley. We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant quantitative and qualitative studies on HIV incidence, HIV prevalence, HIV-related risk factors, HIV testing, antiretroviral therapy coverage and adherence, and interventions to improve treatment outcomes and reduce HIV risk factors. Results & conclusion We identified 52 papers and 2 reports. Thirty-four were quantitative, 17 qualitative, and 3 had a mixed-methods design. Eleven studies reported on the prevalence of HIV and 8 on HIV incidence; 9 studies documented factors associated with HIV incidence or HIV positive status; 10 studies reported on HIV testing coverage and/or associated factors; 7 reported on antiretroviral therapy coverage/adherence/outcomes; and 1 study reported on the impact of combination HIV interventions in fishing communities. This scoping review revealed a significant lack of evidence in terms of what works in HIV prevention and for improving adherence to ART, in contrast to the relatively large amount of evidence from observational quantitative and qualitative studies on HIV prevalence, incidence and related risk factors in Ugandan fishing communities. Intervention studies are urgently needed to fill the current evidence gaps in HIV prevention and ART adherence.

Abstract:

Introduction: Key populations have disproportionately higher HIV prevalence rates than the general population. Objective: To determine the level of virologic suppression and associated factors in female Commercial Sex Workers (CSW) who completed six months of ART and compare with the female general population (GP). Methods: Clinical records of CSW and GPs who initiated ART between December 2014 to December 2016 from seven urban clinics were analyzed to determine virologic suppression (viral load < 1000 copies/ml) and associated factors. Results: We identified 218 CSW and 182 female GPs. CSW had median age of 28 (IQR 25-31) vs 31 (IQR 26-37); median baseline CD4 446 (IQR 308-696) vs 352 (IQR 164–493) cells/microL; and optimal ART adherence levels at 70.6% vs 92.8% respectively, compared to GP. Virologic suppression in CSW and GPs was 85.7% and 89.6% respectively, P=0.28. Overall virologic suppression in CSW was 55% while Retention in care after 6 months of ART was 77.5%. Immediate ART initiation (<2weeks) and tuberculosis independently predicted virologic suppression in CSW with adjusted odds ratios 0.07 (95% C.I. 0.01-0.55, P=0.01) and 0.09 (95% C.I. 0.01-0.96, P=0.046) respectively. Conclusion: Virologic suppression in both groups is similar, however, intensified follow-up is needed to improve treatment outcomes. Keywoeds: HIV infected Ugandans; female sex workers.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Detectable serum or plasma cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) precedes symptomatic cryptococcal meningitis. The World Health Organization recommends CrAg screening for human immunodeficiency virus–positive persons with CD4 count <100 cells/μL initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, an increasing proportion of patients with cryptococcosis are now ART experienced. Whether CrAg screening is cost-effective in those with virologic failure is unknown. Methods We retrospectively performed nationwide plasma CrAg testing among ART-experienced Ugandan adults with virologic failure (≥1000 copies/mL) using leftover plasma after viral load testing during September 2017–January 2018. For those who were CrAg positive, we obtained ART history, meningitis occurrence, and 6-month survival via medical records review. Results Among 1186 subjects with virologic failure, 35 (3.0%) were CrAg positive with median ART duration of 41 months (interquartile range, 10–84 months). Among 25 subjects with 6-month outcomes, 16 (64%) survived, 7 (28%) died, and 2 (8%) were lost. One survivor had suffered cryptococcal meningitis 2 years prior. Two others developed cryptococcal meningitis and survived. Five survivors were known to have received fluconazole. Thus, meningitis-free survival at 6 months was 61% (14/23). Overall, 91% (32/35) of CrAg-positive persons had viral load ≥5000 copies/mL compared with 64% (735/1151) of CrAg-negative persons (odds ratio, 6.0 [95% confidence interval, 1.8–19.8]; P = .001). CrAg prevalence was 4.2% (32/768) among those with viral loads ≥5000 copies/mL and 0.7% (3/419) among those with viral loads <5000 copies/mL. Conclusions In addition to the CD4 threshold of <100 cells/μL, reflexive CrAg screening should be considered in persons failing ART in Uganda with viral loads ≥5000 copies/mL.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives To evaluate long-term virological failure (VF) and drug resistance among HIV-infected Ugandan children on first-line ART. Methods In a multicentre prospective cohort study, viral load (VL) and drug resistance mutations (DRMs) were investigated at baseline and 6 monthly intervals in children (age ≤ 12 years). VF (two consecutive VLs >1000 copies/mL or death after 6 months of ART) was defined as early VF (0–24 months of ART) or late VF (25–48 months of ART). An active regimen was defined as partially active if the genotypic susceptibility score (GSS) was <3. Results Between 2010 and 2011, 316 children were enrolled. Viral suppression was achieved in 75.8%, 71.5%, 72.6% and 69.2% at 12, 24, 36 and 48 months. VF occurred in 111/286 (38.8%), of which 67.6% was early and 32.4% late VF. Early VF was associated with a partially active regimen at baseline (OR 6.0, 95% CI 1.9–18.5), poor adherence (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.3–7.4) and immunodeficiency (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.1–10.2). Late VF was associated with age >3 years (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.0–6.6) and WHO stage 3/4 (OR 4.2, 95% CI 1.4–13.4). Acquired DRMs were detected in 27.0% before 24 months, versus 14.4% after 24 months (P < 0.001). A total of 92.2% of the children with early VF, versus 56.2% with late VF, had a partially active regimen (P < 0.001). Conclusions VF rates were high, occurred predominantly in the first 24 months and appeared to increase again in year four. Risk factors and patterns of early VF/DRMs were different from those of late VF/DRMs. Virological control may improve by close monitoring and prompt switching to second-line therapy in the first 24 months. Late VF may be prevented by early start of ART.

Abstract:

Globally, ~17 million women and ~2.1 million children are living with HIV. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 70% of HIV-infected (HIV+) persons. Mother-To-Child Transmission of HIV (MTCT) during pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding, is the main route of HIV infection in children. The World Health Organisation recommends lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all HIV+ pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to prevent MTCT, and breastfeeding for ≥24 months for optimal child health in resource limited settings (Option B+ strategy). Initiation of ART in HIV+ adults is associated with a 2-6% decrease in areal bone mineral density (aBMD) regardless of ART regimen, but data are limited in pregnant and lactating women. Tenofovir, a preferred first-line drug in Option B+ ART regimen, is associated with 1-2% greater decreases in aBMD. Pregnancy and lactation are associated with physiological changes in maternal bone mineral density, but most evidence shows that this is recovered after cessation of breastfeeding. The hypothesis of this thesis is that ART may accentuate the normal process of bone mobilisation during pregnancy and lactation, leading to bone loss that is not recovered in the mother and/or compromised infant growth and bone mineral accretion. The primary objective of this research was to investigate if HIV+ women experience greater reductions in bone mineral compared to HIV-uninfected (HIV-) counterparts. Two groups of pregnant women, 95 HIV+ on ART (Tenofovir-Lamivudine-Efavirenz, previously ART naïve) and 96 HIV- were followed prospectively in Kampala, Uganda. Data were collected at 36 wks gestation (PG36), 2 (PP2) and 14 wks postpartum (PP14). Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry was used to measure bone phenotype (aBMD, bone mineral content (BMC), bone area (BA), and size-adjusted BMC (SA-BMC, adjusted for height or length, weight and BA) of the whole body (WB) and lumbar spine (LS) in mother-baby pairs, and total hip (TH) in mothers. The primary outcome was the difference between groups in % change (± SE) in maternal LS aBMD between PP2 and PP14. Secondary outcomes included changes in maternal markers of bone formation (P1NP and BAP) and resorption (CTX), serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), plasma and urine concentrations of creatinine (Cr), calcium (Ca), phosphate (PO4) and magnesium (Mg), urine mineral:creatinine ratios, TmCa/GFR and TMP/GFR, respectively), breastmilk mineral composition (Ca, P, Na, K and Na/K ratio); and infant growth Z-scores and bone mineral. Statistical models were adjusted for potential confounders. Median maternal age was 24.5 (IQR 21.1, 26.9) yrs. Mean gestation was 40.9±1.8 wks and not significantly different between groups. All women were breastfeeding at PP2 and PP14. More HIV+ women reported exclusive breastfeeding (PP2: 82.9% v 58.7%, p=0.0008; PP14: 86.7% v 66.2%, p=0.002). Body weight was 4-5% lower in HIV+ women. By PP14, mean duration of ART was 29.3±5.1 wks, adherence was > 95%, and the median CD4 count was 403 (IQR 290-528) cells/mm3. Maternal aBMD decreased between PP2 and PP14 at all skeletal sites in both groups as expected in lactation. Reductions in LS aBMD were not significantly different between groups (-1.8±0.4% vs -2.5±0.4%, p=0.3). However, HIV+ women had a significantly greater reduction in TH aBMD which persisted after adjustment for body size (-3.7±0.3% vs -2.7±0.3%, p=0.04). Median serum 25(OH)D was 67.4 nmol/L (IQR 54.8, 83.7) at PG36 and 57.6 nmol/L (48.7, 70.1) at PP14 with no significant difference between groups. Changes in 25(OH)D and PTH from PG36 to PP14 were not significantly different between groups (25(OH)D: -13.9±4.1% vs -11.1±3.1%; PTH: +60.0±6.4% vs +57.6±6.4%; both p > 0.05). However, HIV+ women had 33-35% greater plasma PTH concentrations at both PG36 and PP14. Bone formation and resorption markers increased in both groups between PG36 and PP14. HIV+ women had greater increases (CTX: +74.6±5.9% vs +56.2±5.9%; P1NP: +100.3±5.0% vs +72.6±5.0%; BAP: +67.2±3.6% vs +57.1±3.6%, all p < 0.05). They also had a greater decrease in plasma Ca (-6.6±0.5% vs-3.8±0.5%, p≤0.0001) and greater increase in plasma phosphate (+14.4±2.0% vs +7.7±2.0%, p=0.02). Changes in plasma Cr and Mg, TmP/GFR and urine mineral:creatinine ratios were not significantly different between the groups. However, at both PG36 and PP14, HIV+ had significantly lower mean plasma Ca (PG36: -1.0±0.5%; PP14: -4.1±0.6%) and TmP/GFR (PG36: -11.4±3.1%; PP14: -7.2±3.0%) but higher PTH (PG36: +33.0±7.0%; PP14: +35.3±7.6%) compared to HIV- women (all p < 0.05). Mean breastmilk Ca decreased between PP2 and PP14, and the changes were not different between the groups (-19.9±3.0% vs -24.2±3.1%, p=0.3). There were no significant changes in breastmilk phosphorus (P) in both groups, but HIV+ women had significantly higher concentrations (PP2: +9.7±3.8%, p=0.01; PP14:+9.6±3.5 %, p=0.007). Breastmilk P was significantly correlated with maternal plasma [CTX] in a separate ANCOVA model (β = +0.13±0.04% per 1% increase in CTX, p=0.0003). Mean breastmilk Na, K concentrations and Na/K decreased between PP2 and PP14 in both groups. However, HIV+ women had a smaller decrease in breastmilk Na (-44.3±8.9% vs -72.6±9.0%, p=0.03). They also had a trend towards smaller reduction in Na/K ratio (-22.2±9.3% vs -46.6.6±9.5%, p=0.07). Babies born to HIV+ mothers (HIV-exposed infants, HEI) had significantly lower gains in weight +53.0±1.4% vs +57.5±1.4%, p=0.02) compared to HIV-unexposed infants (HUI), and also lower weight-for-age (-0.47±0.16, p=0.003) and length-for-age (-0.53±0.18, p=0.005) Z-scores at PP14. HEI had a slower gain in WB BMC (+51.2±1.9% vs +57.3±1.9%, p=0.02), but the difference was not significant after adjustment for body size (-6.0±3.5% vs -7.6±3.8%, p=0.2); showing that the bone mineral accretion was appropriate for achieved infant size. In contrast, HEI had a greater increase in LS BMC (+29.5±1.7% vs +24.4±1.7%, p=0.03), a difference which remained after size-adjustment (+9.4±5.8% vs +4.3±6.2%, p=0.02). This is the first study to compare changes in maternal aBMD and bone metabolism between HIV+ mothers on Option B+ ART and HIV- counterparts. The results show a greater reduction in TH aBMD in Ugandan HIV+ women on Option-B+ ART compared to HIV- in the first three months of lactation, consistent with their greater increases in bone turnover markers, lower TmP/GFR and plasma phosphate, and higher breastmilk phosphorus concentration. Also, HEI have slower growth and whole body bone mineral accretion compared to HUI. It is important to determine if these changes are temporary or have long-term consequences for the bone health of the mother and child.

Abstract:

This dissertation intends to analyse the practice of amnesties in the context of grave human rights violations using northern Uganda as a case study. It also examines its consistency with the obligation upon states to protect human rights through the prosecution of perpetrators of the said violations. It will, accordingly, analyse the implications of the complementary mandate of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to national jurisdictions. Furthermore, the author also explores the tension which results from national amnesties and the principle of international criminal responsibility, a principle that the ICC has the mandate to enforce.

Abstract:

Thesis (MNutr (Interdisciplinary Health Sciences. Human Nutrition))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.
Introduction: More than half a million children worldwide die from the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) each year. In Uganda, HIV/AIDS is a major cause of infant and childhood mortality. Although the government of Uganda, through various strategies, has increased access to antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), resulting in national scaling up of accessibility to antiretroviral therapy (ART), initiation of ART in resource-limited areas remains a challenge due to constraints such as the absence of or limited number of CD4 machines and related laboratory constraints. Further scaling up of ART for children would be greatly strengthened by increased access to laboratory services for CD4 counts or the introduction of alternative indicators or guidelines for the initiation of ART. Aim: This study therefore set out to investigate, through the analysis of retrospectively collected data, whether anthropometric indices (wasting - weight for height; underweight - weight for age; and stunting - height for age) could provide a useful alternative guide when deciding about initiation of ART in children aged 2-12 years in the absence of sophisticated clinical and laboratory support. Methods: The study was conducted at the Mildmay Centre, an HIV/AIDS specialist centre located in Kampala, Uganda. Parameters such as the age at which children had been initiated onto ART, duration on ART, World Health Organisation (WHO) and Centre for Disease Control (CDC) disease stages at time of initiation, anthropometry at time of initiation, CD4% staging at time of initiation, support received from food aid programmes, referral to other health centres as a result of malnutrition and care-giver nutrition education/counselling were all determined retrospectively from clinical records. Results: It was found, based on CDC (2000) growth reference charts, that of the total number of children who took part in this study (N=125), 98.4% were mildly wasted, 52.8% mildly underweight and 75.2% mildly stunted when they were initiated onto ART. Of the children, who had WHO disease staging documented - 40% (N=50), the majority - 86% (N=43) were in WHO disease staging II and III during initiation of ART. and 96% (N=48) were mildly wasted. However, the relationship between WHO disease staging and wasting, underweight, and stunting at initiation of ART in children at the Mildmay centre was not significant. The relationship between CD4% and underweight or stunted children was also not significant. It was established however, that in the absence of CD4 laboratory parameters (since CD4% is vital in the initiation of ART in children) as is the case in resource limited areas, anthropometric indices (moderate to severe wasting, weight for height -W/H) could be used concurrently with CDC and WHO disease staging to initiate ART in children. However, it is important to note that anthropometric indices on their own cannot be used as a guide for initiating ART in children. Conclusion: Anthropometric status alone cannot be used to accurately determine when to initiate ART in children 2-12 years.

Abstract:

AIM The aim was to explore the experiences of HIV-positive individuals before and after gaining access to antiretroviral therapy in Wakiso District, Uganda and how antiretroviral therapy impacts certain aspects of those living with HIV, such as sexual behavior, support systems, faith and personal identity. METHODS Based on secondary data analysis of “Life On Antiretroviral Therapy: People’s Adaptive Coping And Adjustment To Living With HIV As A Chronic Condition In Wakiso District, Uganda” by Steven Russell (2015). The data was reanalysed using the conceptual framework from Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems model. RESULTS Six main themes will be presented including personal life after HIV diagnosis, acceptance of HIV status, disclosure of identity, changes in sexual behavior, different types of support systems, and increasing faith and strength from God. After receiving antiretroviral therapy, the quality of life seemed to improve for some of the participants. Participants described their experiences living with HIV/AIDS, such changes in personal goals and perception of self, immediate acceptance of positive HIV results, disclosure of identity to certain people, the different types of support offered from each support system they have, abstaining from sex and the use of contraceptives against future transmission. Furthermore, participants have also described an increase of faith and belief in God in order to cope with HIV/AIDS. CONCLUSION People living with HIV in Wakiso District, Uganda have described significant changes in their lives after receiving antiretroviral therapy. These changes affect them both physically and emotionally therefore more research must be done to investigate the influence of antiretroviral therapy on wellbeing.

Full text

Abstract:

This exploratory research examined an information policy formation process for the adoption of open source software (OSS) in Uganda. Grounded in a pragmatist tradition, this theoretical and empirical study pursued a qualitative research approach with a triangulation of theoretical concepts, data collection, and analysis techniques in an iterative and interactive process. The design provided a powerful context to develop and conduct field activities in Kampala with a purposeful sample of 22 participants, 20 in interviews and 5 in a focus group discussion. The research design enhanced consistency in the evidence from the data, increased robustness in the results, and confidence in the findings. The results highlighted a vibrant ICT sector in Uganda, underlined the multiple stakeholders and their competing interests in the policy, revealed a lack of consensus between the government and OSS promoters on the meaning of OSS, and illuminated the benefits in the OSS model over proprietary software. The stakeholders' conflicting perceptions appear to be too far apart to allow meaningful progress and are derailing the policy. Unless their conflicting perceptions are resolved, the OSS policy will continue stagnating. The study fills critical information gaps in Uganda’s policy formation processes, provides timely and relevant information to holistically understand a complex policy formation stage to enable stakeholders to resolve their impasse and enact a law to embrace OSS. It breaks ground in information policy research in framing policy formation processes for new ICTs, such as OSS, as ideologically-oriented. The findings offer ideas to scholars and African countries to draw applicable lessons.

Abstract:

LGBT people, in Uganda, have since the colonial time been in a vulnerable situation. When the President signed the “Anti-Homosexuality Act” into law 2014 all forms of same-sex relationships became criminalized. The time after the law passed have been characterized by an increased homophobia and further violence against LGBT people. These are seen as deviants since they do not live according to the social norms, that the right thing to be is heterosexual. They are considered “non-African” and by some an “infectious agent” that will destroy the traditional African family, which is one of society’s most important functions. Except from the fact that LGBT people are persecuted and mistreated they are also denied access to health care and information. The purpose of this study is to explain LGBT persons’ situation and rights in Uganda, mainly based on the “Anti-Homosexuality Act”. This law is reviewed against the ratified conventions, charters and similar laws. This is then related to the theory of heteronormativity, which seems to dominate the Ugandan society. The used methods are case study and conceptual analysis, that provided a deeper and surveying understanding of what this study intended to process.

Abstract:

HIV/AIDS is the largest and most serious global epidemic in the recent times. To date, the epidemic has affected approximately 40 million people (range 33 &ndash
46 million) of whom 67%, that is, an estimated 27 million people are in the Sub Saharan Africa. The Sub Saharan Africa is also reported to have the highest regional prevalence of 7.2% compared to an average of 2% in other regions. A medical cure for HIV/AIDS remains elusive but use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in improvement of quality and quantity of life as evidenced by the reduction of mortality and morbidity associated with the infection, hence longer and good quality life for HIV/AIDS patients on ART.

Abstract This chapter interrogates the increasingly popular notion of waithood, and particularly the idea that most young people are stuck permanently in waithood because they cannot enter the labour market. Based on empirical data gathered from young rural women and men in Uganda, Ethiopia and Nigeria, the meaning of farming and other economic activities in their lives, particularly in relation to social status, is presented. Other avenues for claim making on social recognition, status and respect are then analysed, with a focus on marriage, family life, and active citizenship. Throughout the chapter the gendered nature of the process of becoming a social adult is emphasized.

Abstract:

AbstractDespite its vital importance, health promotion has not occupied its due place in public health in Uganda. The country is engulfed into a rising wave of both communicable and non-communicable conditions. This rising burden of both communicable and non-communicable conditions turns health promotion and palliative care essential health care packages; though there is little to show that these two important programs are getting vital support at policy and service delivery levels. A new theoretical framework that is anchored into sociocultural issues is essential in guiding the design and delivery of both health promotion and palliative care in Uganda. The salutogenic theory puts socio-cultural issues at the centre of developing health promotion and palliative care and, seems to solve this dilemma. In this chapter, illustrations from indigenous communities in Uganda are employed to demonstrate the challenges to the health promotion and palliative care agenda in the country and how they can be addressed. Uganda Ministry of Health should develop robust structures within public health for development of health promotion and palliative care in the country. Research should be conducted on the effectiveness of the current strategies on health promotion and palliative care and their cultural sensitivity and appropriateness. Given the limited resources available for development of health care in Uganda, as an overall strategy, health promotion and palliative care should be anchored in public health and its (public health) resources.

Abstract:

The Covid-19 crisis has forced most governments around the world to close educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the pandemic, impacting over 91% of the world’s student population according to UNESCO. Uganda is among the countries where schools have been closed for at least 2 years. Uganda subscribes to the UN’s 2030 sustainable development goal (SDG) 4 which is grounded on notions of equity and fairness. The SDG 4 agenda: ‘Ensures inclusive and equitable quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all’. Similarly, Uganda’s Education Sector Strategic Plan 2018-2020 stipulates delivery of equitable, relevant and quality education for all. Notably in Uganda, with 42 million people (UBOS 2020) in lock down and mostly confined in their homes, digital technologies are becoming a necessity, as they become one of the main ways to access education, but also one remaining vectors for social interactions to take place. For instance, the 2019 communication sector report by the Uganda Communications Commission shows that the country’s internet penetration stands at 37.9% with over 23 million internet users, who mostly use mobile phones. According to the same report, mobile internet subscription stood at between 14.3 to 15.2 million persons out of the 42 million Ugandans. Meanwhile about 1.1 million to 1.4 million Ugandans have actively subscribed to pay-tv services. This clearly shows the digital gap as of 2020, given that a large proportion of the population (estimated at 62-96%) does not have access to the internet or pay-tv. The present article aims to demonstrate that in the current Covid-19 crisis, much as digital technologies are helping to reach wider audiences globally, Uganda, like other Sub-Saharan African countries, still faces several challenges which directly or indirectly affect lifelong learning. Our hypothesis is that some of the most vulnerable students from Universities living in rural communities, people living with disability are the most difficult to reach if ICTS serve as the main instrument for promoting lifelong learning. A survey of a convenient sample of 350 Ugandan students from various socioeconomic backgrounds was conducted. Preliminary results show that despite the fact that digital technologies have enabled the closing of the gap of continued access to lifelong learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Uganda, there are still existing challenges in implementing Inclusive lifelong learning such as mobile phones, unstable electricity, poor infrastructure and accessing the lowest technology in order to close the educational gap.

In 2022 it is time we saw the internet not as a luxury, but the means to overcome inequality. We have worked hard to create a poster which is both informative about our education technology innovation as well as challenging to the PCF10 audience. This will be an opportunity for our Ugandan engineer and technology lead David Mugerwa to present our work internationally. It is called the world wide web - let's make that true. // In Uganda and Nepal, we teach communities to build their own solar-powered, outdoor Internet kiosks. Each one is loaded with state of the art education software teaching literacy, numeracy and computer dexterity amongst other subjects so that underprivileged children and adults can educate themselves, communicate with others, and have a voice in the global community. We call them Hello Hubs. And we’re challenging traditional approaches to development - we do not build Hello Hubs - the community does. We show them how to construct, maintain and repair the hub for themselves. It’s a radical, self sustaining model that gives communities full say in how our work works for them.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper presents an exergy-based sustainability analysis of manufacturing roof tiles from plastic waste in Uganda. Exergy analyses measure the sustainability of industrial processes. This work focuses specifically on the developing country context and on utilizing waste material. A summary of the current plastic waste situation in Uganda, the environmental and health issues associated with plastic waste, current means of recycling plastic waste into new products, and an analysis of the Ugandan roofing market are presented. The motivation for this study is to examine the resources utilized to improve overall exergy efficiency, reduce production costs, and reduce negative environmental impacts. The company, Resintile, is the only manufacturer of roof tiles from plastic waste in Uganda. Their tiles comprised mainly of sand and plastic waste are manufactured in an industrialized process involving drying, extrusion, and pressing. The exergy consumed at each stage including transportation is presented. The extruder consumes the majority of the exergy, but wrapping insulation around the barrel could save over 3 MJ, and a heat engine could provide over 7.5 MJ of usable exergy. The total exergy consumed to produce one batch of seventy-five tiles is over 122 MJ, the potentially recoverable exergy is over 5 MJ (4.3% of consumed exergy), and the realistic recoverable exergy is nearly 10.7 MJ (8.7% of consumed exergy). The realistic can be greater than the potential by adding a heat engine to the sand drying process to generate usable exergy rather than merely recover consumed exergy. Resintile’s plastic roof tiles save a net 86.3 kg of CO2 from entering the atmosphere per batch of tiles and adoption of the suggested improvements to the manufacturing process would save an additional 3.8 kg of CO2 per batch.

Abstract:

Enrolment of students with visual impairment (SVI) in Uganda’s universities is increasing amidst limited awareness and capacity of educators to effectively support their learning despite the existence of policies aimed at improving their learning. Makerere University in partnership with Kyambogo University; the National Council for Higher Education and the Uganda National Association of the Blind is implementing a project to address the staff capacity constraints to support SVI in two public universities. // The goal of the project is to build capacity in public universities to provide an inclusive teaching and learning environment for the SVI through effective usage of assistive technologies. The project adopted a combination of a qualitative interpretivist and Design Based Research to analyze the contexts in which public universities provide education to SVI; and secondly, to train staff and SVI in using selected assistive technologies to support the teaching and learning of SVI. A Situational analysis was conducted from three public universities with a sample of 29 students with visual impairment, 17 teaching staff, 09 academic leaders (Dean and Heads of department) and 18 administrative staff. // A three-week blended learning training was developed based on the data from the situational analysis and offered to 40 staff members from two universities. The trained staff are implementing action points from the training in their practices. SVIs in the two universities have also been oriented to the assistive technologies. The papers share findings from the project this far.

Full text

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Energy is one of the key drivers of economic growth and development world over. Overcoming energy poverty is one of world's great challenges. All the countries in the East African Region (EAR) are not producing sufficient energy to meet their current needs. The energy mix in the EAR currently includes hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, solar, biomass and fossil fuels. The region's petroleum products consumption, the entire volume of which is currently imported, is estimated at 180,000 bbl/day and is growing at between 4 – 6% p.a. It is projected that the region will consume about 400,000bbl/day by 2030. The discovery of commercially viable oil and gas deposits in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo however, marks a great opportunity to turn around the rather bleak state of the energy sector in the region. These resources however remain largely untapped due to lack of the necessary infrastructure such as road networks, upstream facilities, refinery, pipelines, and gas processing facilities, that are necessary to access, store, process and transport these resources. A number of countries in the EAR are planning for the development of such key infrastructure to enable the commercialization of the discovered these resources. The EAR needs to harmonise the planning and development of petroleum infrastructure in order to leverage the power of collaborative action to attract investment and ensure optimal development of this infrastructure. A case in point is Uganda which plans to commercialise its discovered oil and gas resources, estimated at 6.5 billion barrels as of 2016, through the development of an oil refinery, a crude oil export pipeline and power generation. These projects are being developed with joint participation of the East African Community (EAC) Partner States. Uganda estimates to spend over USD 10 billion on oil and gas infrastructure in the next five years. The region needs to provide a conducive investment environment in order to attract financing for these projects. This can be achieved through providing incentives such as attractive taxation regimes, streamlined decision making and security, among others, given the high CAPEX investments. Given that background, this paper will; Assess the current status of the oil and gas infrastructure in the region vis a vis the growing energy needsDiscuss the optimal infrastructure requirements for the successful development of the oil and gas industry in order to meet the region's growing energy needs.Highlight the investment requirements, incentives, challenges and financing options for the planned refinery in Uganda.

This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between Tanzania and Uganda in the context of the outbreak of Ebola (Sudan Virus Disease, SVD) in Uganda. It is part of a series focusing on at-risk border areas between Uganda and four high priority neighbouring countries: Rwanda; Tanzania; Kenya and South Sudan. The current outbreak is of the Sudan strain of Ebola (SVD). SVD is used in this paper to refer to the current outbreak in East Africa, whereas outbreaks of Zaire Ebolavirus disease or general references to Ebola are referred to as EVD. The current outbreak began in Mubende, Uganda, on 19 September 2022, approximately 240km from the Uganda-Tanzania border. It has since spread to nine Ugandan districts, including two in the Kampala metropolitan area. Kampala is a transport hub, with a population over 3.6 million. While the global risk from SVD remains low according to the World Health Organization, its presence in the Ugandan capital has significantly heightened the risk to regional neighbours. At the time of writing, there had been no cases of Ebola imported from Uganda into Tanzania. This brief provides details about cross-border relations, the political and economic dynamics likely to influence these, and specific areas and actors most at risk. It is based on a rapid review of existing published and grey literature, previous ethnographic research in Tanzania, and informal discussions with colleagues from the Tanzania’s Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC), Tanzania National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Uganda Red Cross Society, Tanzania Red Cross Society (TRCS), International Organization for Migration (IOM), IFRC, US CDC and CDC Tanzania. The brief was developed by Shelley Lees and Mark Marchant (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine) with support from Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica) and Hugh Lamarque (University of Edinburgh). Additional review and inputs were provided by The Tanzania Red Cross and UNICEF. The brief is the responsibility of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP).

This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between Uganda and Kenya in the context of the outbreak of Ebola (Sudan Virus Disease, SVD) in Uganda. It is part of a series focusing on at-risk border areas between Uganda and four high priority neighbouring countries: Kenya; Rwanda; Tanzania, and South Sudan. The outbreak began in Mubende District, Uganda on 19 September 2022, approximately 340km from the Kenyan border. At the time of writing (December 2022), the outbreak had spread to eight Ugandan districts, including two in the Kampala metropolitan area. Kampala is a transport hub, with a population over 3.6 million. While the global risk from SVD remains low according to the World Health Organization (WHO), its presence in the Ugandan capital has significantly heightened the risk to regional neighbours. Kenya is categorised as a priority level 1 country, following a case in Jinja on the road between Kampala and the Kenyan border, on 13 November 2022. A total of 23 suspected cases were tested in Kenya up to 1 December 2022, all with negative results. To date, no case of SVD has been imported into the country from Uganda. This brief provides details about cross-border relations between the two states, the political and economic dynamics likely to influence these, and the specific areas and actors most at risk. The brief is based on a rapid review of existing published and grey literature, news reports, previous ethnographic research in Kenya and Uganda, and informal discussions with colleagues from the International Organisation for Migration, UNICEF, UNDP, Save the Children, the Kenyan Red Cross Society, the Kenyan Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries in Kenya, and the Safe Water and AIDS project in Kisumu. It was requested by the Collective Service, written by Hugh Lamarque (University of Edinburgh) and Hannah Brown (Durham University) and supported by Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica). It was further reviewed by colleagues from Anthrologica, the Institute of Development Studies, and the Collective Service. This brief is the responsibility of SSHAP.

Abstract:

This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between Uganda and Rwanda in the context of the 2022 outbreak of Ebola (Sudan Virus Disease, SVD) in Uganda. It is part of a series focusing on at-risk border areas between Uganda and four high priority neighbouring countries: Rwanda; Tanzania; Kenya; and South Sudan. The outbreak began in Mubende, Uganda on 19 September 2022, approximately 300 kilometres from the Uganda-Rwanda border. At the time of writing (November 2022) it has spread to nine Ugandan districts, including two in the Kampala metropolitan area. Kampala is a transport hub, with a population over 3.6 million. While the global risk from SVD remains low according to the World Health Organization, its presence in the Uganda capital has significantly heightened the risk to regional neighbours. Rwanda is categorised as Priority 1, with significant preparedness activities underway. As of November 2022, there had been no case of SVD imported from Uganda into Rwanda, although alerts have been triggered at border posts. This brief provides details about cross-border relations, the political and economic dynamics likely to influence these, and specific areas and actors most at risk. It is based on a rapid review of existing published and grey literature, news reports, previous ethnographic research in Rwanda and Uganda, and informal discussions with colleagues from Save the Children, UNICEF, UNECA, UNDP, IOM, TBI, and the World Bank.

Abstract:

Taxpayers sometimes engage in complex transactions with uncertain tax treatment, such as mergers, acquisitions, demergers and spin-offs. With the rise of global value chains and proliferation of multinational corporations, these transactions increasingly involve transnational financial arrangements and cross-border dealings, making tax treatment even more uncertain. If improperly structured, such transactions could have costly tax consequences. One approach to dealing with this uncertainty is to create a private rulings regime, whereby a taxpayer applies for a private ruling by submitting a statement detailing the transaction (proposed or completed) to the tax authority. The tax authority interprets and applies the tax laws to the requesting taxpayer’s specific set of facts in a written private ruling. The private ruling offers taxpayers certainty as to how the tax authority views the transaction, and the tax treatment the taxpayer can expect based on the specific facts presented. Private rulings are a common feature of many tax systems around the world, and their main goal is to promote tax certainty and increase investor confidence in the tax system. This is especially important in a developing country like Uganda, whose tax laws are often amended and may not anticipate emerging transnational tax issues. Private rulings in Uganda may be applied for in writing prior to or after engaging in the transaction. The Tax Procedures Code Act (TPCA), which provides for private rulings, requires applicants to make a full and true disclosure of the transaction before a private ruling may be issued. This paper evaluates the Ugandan private rulings regime, offering a comparative perspective by highlighting similarities and contrasts between the Ugandan regime and that of other jurisdictions, including the United States, Australia, South Africa and Kenya. The Ugandan private rulings regime has a number of strengths. It is not just an administrative measure as in some jurisdictions, but is based on statute. Rulings are issued from a central office – instead of different district offices, which may result in conflicting rulings. Rather than an elaborate appeals process, the private ruling is only binding on the URA and not on the taxpayer, so a dissatisfied taxpayer can simply ignore the ruling. The URA team that handles private rulings has diverse professional backgrounds, which allows for a better understanding of applications. There are, however, a number of limitations of the Ugandan private rulings system. The procedure of revocation of a private ruling is uncertain. Private rulings are not published, which makes them a form of ‘secret law’. There is no fee for private rulings, which contributes to a delay in the process of issuing one. There is understaffing in the unit that handles private rulings. Finally, there remains a very high risk of bias against the taxpayer because the unit is answerable to a Commissioner whose chief mandate is collection of revenue. A reform of the private rulings regime is therefore necessary, and this would include clarifying the circumstances under which revocation may occur, introducing an application fee, increasing the staffing of the unit responsible, and placing the unit under a Commissioner who does not have a collection mandate. While the private rulings regime in Uganda has shortcomings, it remains an essential tool in supporting investor confidence in the tax regime.

Abstract:

The paper assesses the cleanliness of taxpayer returns at the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) in terms of: (a) completeness – the extent to which taxpayers submit all the required information as specified in the return forms; (b) accuracy – the extent to which the submitted information is correct; (c) consistency – the extent to which taxpayers submit similar information in cases where the same information is required in different types of tax returns, or submitted in the same type of tax return, but for different time periods; and (d) permanence – the extent to which the returns are likely to be later modified by taxpayers.

Abstract:

School-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) remains difficult to measure because of high sensitivity and response bias. However, most SRGBV measurement relies on face-to-face (FTF) survey administration, which is susceptible to increased social desirability bias. Widely used in research on sensitive topics, Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) allows subjects to respond to pre-recorded questions on a computerized device, providing respondents with privacy and confidentiality. This brief contains the findings from a large-scale study conducted in Uganda in 2019 where primary grade 3 students were randomly selected to complete surveys using either ACASI or FTF administration. The surveys covered school climate, gender attitudes, social-emotional learning, and experiences of SRGBV. Through this study, we find that although most survey responses were comparable between ACASI and FTF groups, the reporting of experiences of sexual violence differed drastically: 43% of students in the FTF group versus 77% of students in the ACASI group reported experiencing sexual violence in the past school term. We also find that factor structures are similar for data collected with ACASI compared with data collected FTF, though there is weaker evidence for construct validity for both administration modes. We conclude that ACASI is a valuable tool in measuring sensitive sub-topics of SRGBV and should be utilized over FTF administration, although further psychometric testing of these surveys is recommended.

Abstract:

'Development evaluations in Uganda 2000–2018: A Country Evaluation Map' is a CEDIL Synthesis Working Paper. It is a report on the first of its kind country evaluation map for a single country. The map identifies 617 evaluations in multiple sectors. Nearly 60 per cent of the studies contain process evaluation evidence and over 40 per cent are impact evaluations. The map helps make visible recent development evaluations from the country, identifies potential gaps in knowledge and opportunities for evidence synthesis. Users can submit studies for inclusion in the map, thus giving the map a repository function.
