The study was about the contributions of United Nations High Commission for Refugees in ensuring refugee right to food in Bidi-Bidi Refugee in Yumbe District. The study was guided by the following objectives; to identify the ways in which the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in ensures South Sudanese Refugees’ access to food aid in Bidi-Bidi Refugee in Yumbe District, to establish the mechanisms for delivery and rationing of food by United Nations High Commission for Refugees in to South Sudanese Refugees in Bidi-Bidi Refugee in Yumbe District and to analyse the challenges facing United Nations High Commission for Refugees in her delivery of food aid to South Sudanese Refugees in Bidi-Bidi Refugee in Yumbe District. The researcher obtained data from 56 respondents, and according to the study, the ways in which United Nations High Commission for Refugees ensure nutrition interventions. They avail therapeutic foods for children which enhances the health of the benefiting children. There is trainings for refugees in skills for developing primary agriculture which enables them to cultivate cassava, maize and millet. They organize refugee teams for agricultural prosperity by equipping them with relevant skills for ensuring that they develop agriculture. The study noted that United Nations High Commission for Refugees delivers food stocks to refugees in the camp. The food given to refugees is raw and they are required to prepare it using firewood they have fetched from the forests and bushes. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees in supporting the South Sudan refugees with food in the camp there is some feeding support from the International Federation of the Red Cross who help in the case of the rampant occurrence of epidemics and fighting. The study found out that the continued occurrence of internal conflicts in the camp among the South Sudan refugees hamper efforts to adequately provide food for them. There is delayed food distribution to the refugees in the case of fighting and bickering because they are no secure and organized as this could put the lives of the officers involved in distribution at peril for their own life, and some refugees do not get food at all because the infighting often leads to delayed deliveries and lack of access to the distribution site and even if they reach there, there would nothing being distributed. The study revealed that United Nations High Commission for Refugees can improve delivery of food aid to the South Sudan refugees by generating clear records on refugee status which helps to determine status of the refugees, expanding teams to monitor refugee activities, and giving out rations in time and on agreed schedule. The study recommended that there should be introduction of Nutrition Education and Counseling initiative in the refugee camp, there should be regular spreading nutrition messages in camps: Nutrition animators in the camps are the driving force to mobilize mothers in refugee camps to attend parents’ evening meetings where nutrition messages are delivered and there should be provision of safety net interventions such as blanket supplementary feeding.

the role of livelihood programme in poverty eradication: a case study of aduku subcounty, apac district uganda
Level: university
Type: dissertations
Subject: development studies
Author: ameri winny
The issue of poverty and unemployment of especially the majority of the world’s population, the youth is not something new. The Government of Uganda has had a number of interventions namely: Mechanization of Agriculture in the 1980s, Poverty Alleviation Programme (PAP) and Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) in the 1990s and early 2000s, Entandikwa in the 1990s, National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) in the early 2000’s and now the latest Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP) but all these have yielded little tangible results in terms of eliminating household poverty. The purpose of this study was to find out if WLP is indeed leading the Youth out of poverty. The study focused reviewed some of the major literature on this subject and these include: major writings on Youth and Poverty eradication in both developing and developed countries. The researcher mainly used qualitative methods of data collection that is interview to collect data from 25 respondents. Findings indicated that, most of the Programme requires the Youth to be in groups but this formation of youth groups is not working well, it was further noted that the constitution and other documents interpretation is also a challenge to most of them do not understand English language which is used causing their elimination from benefiting from the programme and lastly. The researcher therefore recommends community led approaches in policy design to avoid such weaknesses. Secondly the study recommends educating the Youth in skills as the main driving force of employment creation as opposed to too much emphasis on the business as the case is.

Pulmonary mycoses (P. mycoses) are a group of fungal infections commonly occurring as opportunistic infections (OIs) among individuals who are immune suppressed more especially those with human Immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) and others who have been on antibiotics for a long time, though during routine practice are misdiagnosed for Tuberculosis (TB) leading to mismanagement with associated toxicities and drug resistance among the patients. This study was carried out at Kirinya Prisons Complex found in Jinja district with the major aim of determining the prevalence and factors associated with pulmonary mycoses among PLWHIV. Two sputum samples were collected from 127 participants. The samples were processed systematically by; KOH mount, ZN staining and culturing on SDA microscopy with Lactophenol cotton blue staining. The cultures were identified using the morphological characteristics and stained slides read by microscopy. Amongst the clients recruited for the study, 31/127 (24.41%, 95% CI= 17.92-33.67) were found to have pulmonary mycoses. Out of the 31 patients who were found to have pulmonary mycoses, 15 (27.78%) were females while 16 (21.92%) were males. Still we found that, 3 (2.36%) clients had TB and 1 (3.23%) had a co-infection with P. mycosis. Of the 31 fungal organisms, majority were Candida species, 11 (35.48%, 95% CI =21.1-56.31), followed by C. neoformans 8 (25.81%, 95% CI=11.46-43.4), Aspergillus species 6 (19.35%, 95% CI=7.21-36.44), and Zygomycetes 6 (19.35%, 95% CI=7.21-36.44). Independently the factors; weight loss, chest pain and night sweats were not associated with P. mycoses (OR= 1.11, 1.15 and 2.51; p. Values= 0.82, 0.82 and 0.11 respectively). Also P. mycoses presented similarly in both acute (≤2 weeks) and chronic (>2weeks) coughs. A decline CD4 cell count ≤ 250 was a risk factor associated with the development of P. mycoses (OR = 9.7, p. Value < 0.001) and duration of stay in Prison was not associated with the development of P. mycoses (OR = 1.44, p. Value = 0.38). In conclusion, the overall prevalence of pulmonary mycoses in KPC was relatively high (24.41%). Candida species were the most prevalent followed by C. neoformans, Aspergillus species and Zygomycetes. Weight loss, chest pain and night sweats were not associated with P. mycoses. A decline CD4 cell count ≤ 250μl was a risk factor associated with the development of P. mycoses and duration of stay in Prison was not associated with the development of P. mycoses.

Background: Gender Based Violence is experienced in different forms by different individuals which could be physical, psychological, sexual, economical or sexual abuse. Studies have shown that GBV is still a public health concern globally and it’s associated with both psychological and physical consequences. The main objective of the study was to determine factors contributing to gender based violence among patients attending OPD at Naguru hospital from June to July 2016. As my methodology a descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in Naguru Outpatient department. Simple random sampling was carried out and a total of 371 participants were selected. Data was collected through interviewing participants who met the inclusion criteria using a structured questionnaire after coming out of the doctor’s examination room. The findings showed that the rate of GBV is still high. 64.4% of the study participants had ever experienced GBV and only 35.6% reported to have never experienced GBV and of those who had experienced GBV 43.7% had experienced physical abuse, 24% sexual abuse, 12.7% psychological abuse and 19.7% other forms of abuse. Married partners were more likely to experience GBV and the most cause of violence was alcohol. The study findings showed that the prevalence of GBV was still high. The majority of women who experienced GBV did not take action and it was attributed to fear and lack of financial support. For the respondents who took action, they reported to family members and religious leader. The government should come up with a law that limit alcohol abuse because most cases of violence are caused by alcohol abuse Policy makers should plan for possible interventions on primary prevention of GBV which also include educating and sensitizing couples on the effects of GBV

Background: HIV sero-status disclosure is a crucial canvas upon which ART adherence and prevention of transmission can be built. This study sought to assess factors associated with disclosure of HIV sero-status among women attending ART clinic follow up between the months of November to May 2018 at Nabweru Health Center III, Wakiso District. Methods: the study was a cross-sectional design carried out among women attending ART clinic at Nabweru Health Center III, Wakiso district. 100 participants were invited to participate in the study; these were selected using simple random sampling. SPSS Version 24 was used to analyze the finding while as p<0.05 was considered significant in this study. Results: 100 participants completed the survey. The prevalence of disclosure was 76%. Independent predictors of disclosure included: awareness of partners’ sero-status, fear of disclosure, reasons for fear of disclosure and post-test counseling. Conclusion: The disclosure rate reported in this study is significant. This study provided potential evidence on factors associated with disclosure which could support implementation of effective community health interventions attempting HIV identity transformation to foster disclosure which has been shown to have seminal benefits to an individual and the community. This evidence could also be useful for individuals, cultures and environment where disclosure of HIV sero-status is impended by fear, stigma and health facility limitations. Disclosure should be the pinnacle of Pre and Post-counseling and should be considered a seminal concern of healthcare providers of various disciplines who care for persons living with HIV as well as health authorities, municipalities and community organizations.
