According to the study Sexual harassment is defined as unwanted and unwanted sexual approaches, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical sexual encounters that foster a hostile or uncomfortable environment. This study evaluates how well regulations prevent sexual harassment of young female athletes. The study's main goal is to investigate the legal system in Ugandan sports that prohibits sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a problem that is progressively "coming out of the closet”. In the first chapter the paper discusses how the participation of girls and women in athletics appears to be hindered in by sexual harassment and abuse. Furthermore, the second chapter talks about the legal frame work governing sexual harassment in Uganda, where there no laws and regulations that were taken into accounts against sexual harassment. In addition, chapter three indicates the impact of sexual harassment in sports where sexual harassment are frequently evaluated in terms of somatic, physical, psychological, and emotional health, wellbeing, work-related factors, and career growth. Chapter four illustrates the implementation of the legal framework on sexual harassment in Ugandan sports where there has been laws governing women though the laws are not specific on the sectors. Finally, chapter five recommends the on how this research can help the female Athletics to fight against sexual harassment. As more victims have the bravery to voice their complaints, societies are beginning to acknowledge the problem's reality and some leaders are acknowledging that it may damage their people.

This study addresses the contribution of the department of Preforming Arts and Film, Makerere University, to the development of the Uganda Police Force (UPF) Band. To do this, the researcher identified the alumni of PAF who work with UPF, especially the Band, to examine their contributions towards the development of this band. I used a qualitative research methodology for data collection. In employing this methodology, I interacted with my respondents to share their experiences and views about this topic. This methodology demanded that I use interviewing, recording, participant observation and documentary analysis to gather data. This study established that PAF has contributed immensely towards the development of UPF Band. This contribution can be seen through the training of officers in music theory and practicals which they apply during the Band’s performances. The officers also acquire leadership skills, as they interact with fellow students and lecturers, which they have transferred into the Band. Therefore, to understand how the UPF Band has developed, one needs to put into consideration the contribution of different stakeholders.

The overall purpose of this study is analyzing the effect of Kinyara out-grower scheme on household food security. Specifically, the study aimed at determining the level of food insecurity among sugarcane growers in Kinyara, studying their socio-economic status and then assessing the effect of sugar cane growing on food insecurity in Kinyara. This study utilized an exploratory research design involving qualitative and quantitative data. This design was deemed appropriate for this study since it seeks to provide insights and outstanding effects of the out-grower scheme to the household food insecurity or the factors affecting food security amongst the out-grower farmers the causes of food insecurity to the sugarcane out grower farmers and the possible solutions to the food insecurity amongst the sugarcane out growers. A sample size of 240 respondents was computed using the Taro Yamane’s formula. The study also accounted for a 5% non-response. Respondents were selected on the basis of simple random sampling where each farmer was assigned an equal chance of selection into the sample. The one-way ANOVA was estimated to find out the effect of sugarcane growing scheme at Kinyara sugarcane works on food security. Results showed that sugarcane growers were food-insecure as related to non-sugarcane growers who were found to have much of their land subjected to farming food crops. Besides, sugarcane growing, sugarcane growers need to put aside part of their land for food production, else much of the incomes from the sugarcane growing would be spent into buying food from the market thus extorting much of their surpluses and leaving them at a higher cost and poor standards of leaving.

Piggery farming is one of the most productive enterprise which ensure constant inflow of income for the farmers and revenue for the country. It also employs thousands of youths in the country. However, piggery farming is considered to be the riskiest enterprise because of its the susceptibility to African swine fever which is an enemy of swine. This study investigated economic implications of African swine fever (ASF) outbreak among piggery farmers in Bululu sub county, Kalaki district. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection. Random sampling was used to select 80 piggery farmers who participated in this study. A survey method was used to collect data and a structured questionnaire was used. Quantitative data was analyzed using STATA 13. The study revealed that majority of farmers involved in piggery farming were male, and they were keeping majorly local breeds by use of semi-intensive management system although some few were using intensive system. Study also showed that majority of pig farmers were about existence of ASF. Results also showed that each farmer before the outbreak of African swine fever was keeping on average a total of 16.8 pigs. This total average includes sows, boars, gilts and piglets. However, during the study, it was found that each farmer lost on average a total of 10.3 pigs to ASF. This implies that, individual farmer lost on average sum of USh1,922,628. This was because during study, an average price of the sow was USh386,875, boar was USh449,375, gilts were sold at USh163,500, while piglets were each sold for USh71,313. Hence in summary, the study revealed that, piggery farmers in Bululu sub county, Kalaki district were predominantly male, who were within the active age group and married, without formal education, kept local breeds of pigs under semi-intensive system. They were highly knowledgeable about ASF, but did not know real cause and control measures. They also suffered high losses of pigs and expected revenue from their sale due to outbreak of ASF. Hence, the study recommended the need to promote adoption of improved breeds, sensitization of piggery farmers on the cause of ASF, educate piggery farmers on control measures of ASF, especially bio-security measures and establish proper early warning system to inform piggery farmers of the out break

Background: Research has shown that immunization has played an important role in reducing the burden of immunizeable diseases among children under five worldwide. Examples, measles, tetanus, pneumonia, polio, etc. which has contributed to high mortality rate among children under five. The study therefore, seeks to determine the coverage, knowledge of mothers on immunization, immunizeable disease and attitudes of mothers‟ on immunization. Methodology: A cross sectional study was used to collect data from mothers of children under five years. Villages were selected using stratified sampling from the parish, followed by simple random method. List of households with mothers of children under five were drawn from the selected villages and 200 mothers were selected for the study. Data was collected through face to face interviews using a pre-tested structured questionnaires, the data was coded and entered using the EpiData software and analyzed using the STATA. The data then presented using simple graphics analysis (bar graphs and tables), expressed in percentages and proportions. Univariate analysis and descriptive statistical methods was used to describe all variables used to determine the coverage, knowledge and attitudes of mothers on immunization. Results: In the study, the coverage recorded were; 100% (200/200) BCG, 81% (162/200) polio, 76% (152/200) DPT, 74% (148/200) Measles, and 60% (120/200) PCV10 vaccines. Mothers knowledge; 99.5% (199/200) stated that immunization is important and protect children against diseases, 87% (174/200) knew the time to begin child immunization, 69 % (138/200) said there is vaccine side effects, 67% (134/200) said fever being the most common side effect, 89% (178/200) said that, they managed side effects by bathing children using cold water, 60% (120/200) said that they received immunization information from VHTs and 62.5% (125/200) said health workers doesn‟t conduct health education. Diseases known by most mothers were: Measles; 89% (178/200), Tetanus; 82.5% (164/200) and Polio; 78.5% (157/200). Mothers‟ attitudes; 99% (198/200) responded that vaccine is safe, and 93.5% (187/200) mentioned that vaccine side effect can‟t stop them from taking children for immunization. Conclusion: The immunization coverage in Agik-dak Sub County is low. However, mothers have adequate knowledge and good attitudes towards childhood immunization. Therefore, there is need to increase awareness on the importance of immunization services to mothers by involving village health team and conducting health education by health workers.

The study project was entitled: “A website for the Agriculture Research Information Services (ARIS) Library Kawanda” that was carried out at National Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL) institute located in Kawanda. The aim of this project was to propose a website for ARIS library so as to enhance service delivery. The project study was guided by the six objectives which include establishing the information needs of ARIS library, identifying services offered by ARIS library, examining sources of information at ARIS library, reviewing information services provision at ARIS library, examining the challenges faced in the provision of information at ARIS library, designing a website for ARIS library that could address some of the challenges faced above. The data collection methods for the study were: the questionnaire and interview data collection methods. Convenience sampling was used to select the sample size that consisted of 5 Administrators, 5 secretaries, 3 librarians, 7 program leaders, 5 project leaders, 5 research scientists, 5 research assistants, 10technicians, 2 farm managers and 10 masters’ students, a total of 57 respondents was sampled.…... Major findings of the study included: the identified Information needs of ARIS library users were current journal titles that provide current agricultural information, electronic data bases, theses, books and research reports contributing to agricultural research. The established services offered by ARIS library website were: information, education and circulation services, reference services, current awareness services, trainings, access and services related to library space,. The Information services provision at ARIS library preferred weresearching & browsing as well as reference services. The Sources of information at ARIS library showed that the library and Internet are the main sources that agricultural researchers use to obtain most useful information. Established challenges in the provision of information at ARIS library included: Inadequate funding, Non-compliance with the demands of ICT, Poor working conditions, Lack of ICT facilites, Lack of motivation and the major constraints militating against user satisfaction were out dated library materials, inadequate user education and slow processing of data. The proposed website for ARIS library was designed, tested and validated using functionality, usability and compatibility system testing after which the challenges in website designing were pointed out. It was concluded that there was a gap in providing the relevant and current information to the ARIS Library users, the services provided were not known to some of the users, there was no website where information could be accessed while enhancing the visibility of the library. Recommendations: ARIS library should provide information asper the needs of the users identified, current and relevant information should be provided, to adopt the proposed web site. The library website shall lead the user to all kinds of agricultural information resources held in the library, whether printed, electronic, audio visual or in any other media and also promote the visibility of the library.

Banana is a very important crop in the world including East Africa. Bananas are a staple food to 16 million people in Uganda, and 75% of all farmers in Uganda grow bananas. The main objective of the study was to carry out value chain analysis of cooking bananas in Wakiso district. The specific objectives were; 1) to identify the main players in the banana value chain, 2) to identify the challenges faced by value chain actors involved in cooking banana, 3) to determine the profitability of marketing cooking type bananas. Data were collected from 60 respondents who were randomly selected. Descriptive statistics and gross margins analysis were used in analyzing the data, Using SPSS and EXCEL programs. The results indicated that the major players in the banana value chain are wholesalers, processors, bicycle hawkers, brokers, lorry traders and retailers being the majority. The study showed that value chain actors faced several challenges which included low banana prices, perishability of bananas, high competition from other food crops, fluctuating banana prices, poor climatic conditions, long distance to the market, low demand of bananas, unfavorable season, long distance to the farmers, high taxes and lack of proper means to transport bananas to the market. Results indicated that on average, famers earn a gross margin of 3000 shillings per bunch, retailers receive 5000 shillings per bunch, processor receive 2000 shillings per bunch, bicycle hawkers receive 4000 shillings per bunch, brokers and lorry traders receive 3000 shillings per bunch as their gross margins per bunch. The overall marketing margin was 22000 shillings per bunch. The study recommends that the government subsidizes farmers to reduce the cost of inputs thus reducing the cost of production. In addition, value addition should be encouraged among farmers to reduce on the bananas lost due to perishability. Infrastructural development to ease movement of bananas from farmers to the market is also key. Farmer associations should lobby for their respective member farmers and jointly procure inputs and materials to share the costs thus improve the profitability of the business.
