Resumen

The law and policies of sustainable economic development are built upon the previously unachieved sustainable development goals, which have not been satisfactory. The non-satisfaction necessitated the present study that evaluates the law and policies for achieving sustainable economic development in Uganda. The article concludes that the Ugandan government and the stakeholders have formulated a policy called "Uganda National Local Economic Development Policy”, which is meant to provide a framework for partnerships in local economic development and to serve as a vehicle for promoting and implementing initiatives at the local government level in Uganda. This has necessitated the development of Uganda’s Vision 2040 ahead of the 2015 summit for the post-2015 development framework, launching it on the 18th of April 2013, to strengthen the fundamentals of Uganda's economy and harness the opportunities for realizing sustainable development. Uganda's Vision 2040, which conforms to the African Vision 2063, highlights a desire for social-economic transformation for poverty eradication while recognizing that people must be at the center of her development. Keywords: Heritage sites, Law and policies, Sustainable development, Vision 2040, Vision 2063

Resumen

Chemical engineering in Uganda has evolved significantly from its origins in colonial-era agricultural processing to encompass diverse industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and environmental engineering. This review explores the historical development of chemical engineering in Uganda, emphasising the pivotal role of institutions like Makerere University in educating the country's first generation of chemical engineers. The evolution of Uganda's industrial sector, catalysed by economic liberalisation in the 1990s, highlighted the need for specialised expertise in chemical engineering to optimise processes and enhance efficiency across various sectors. Process optimisation techniques, such as linear programming, dynamic programming, genetic algorithms, and artificial intelligence, are crucial in Ugandan industries for streamlining operations, reducing waste, and improving productivity. Ugandan industrial processes increasingly integrate sustainable practices like green chemistry and energy efficiency, prioritizing resource efficiency, waste reduction, and renewable energy sources. Process optimisation in Uganda's chemical engineering sector leads to cost savings, improved product quality, enhanced competitiveness, and sustainable economic growth. By investing in education, research, and technology transfer, Uganda is advancing its industrial capabilities and becoming a global leader in sustainable development. In conclusion, this review underscores Uganda's journey towards sustainable growth and technological advancement in chemical engineering. By embracing innovation and strategic partnerships, Uganda is poised to sustain its momentum and achieve enduring success in the years ahead. Keywords: Chemical Engineering, Uganda, Evolution, Innovations, Economic Impact, Process Optimisation

Resumen

The Ugandan Taskforce on developing sentencing guidelines recently drafted sentencing guidelines for Uganda, which were issued as practice directions by the Chief Justice to assist judges and magistrates in the sentencing decision making process. Like in many other jurisdictions, the sentencing guidelines have been developed to address the perceived existence of inconsistencies in sentencing of similarly placed offenders. This article offers the first insight into Uganda's new sentencing guideline reform. Part I offers some brief commentary on the nature of discretionary sentencing in Uganda. This is followed by a concise chronology of the historical origins of the guidelines, including a brief commentary on the Ugandan Supreme Court decision in the Kigula case that abolished the mandatory death penalty. This decision created a new era of discretionary capital sentencing in Uganda, which later precipitated the need for the development of the guidelines. The third section provides an insight into the main features of the sentencing guidelines, including the composition and mandate of the Ugandan Taskforce that drafted the sentencing guidelines and a brief commentary on the scope and contents of the guidelines. This section addresses some important weaknesses confronting the Uganda guidelines. The article suggests that the Ugandan Taskforce crafted the guidelines on a loose definition of consistency which has given consistency as the main goal of the guidelines a meaningless function. The article concludes that consistency would be given a meaningful function if Uganda's guidelines are modeled on a limiting retributivism justification.

Resumen

The Covid-19 pandemic struck Uganda like a storm. On 18 March 2020, President Museveni ordered the closure of schools and suspended religious gatherings, public rallies and cultural meetings with effect from 20 March. This was aimed at safeguarding the right to health in general, and the right to life in particular, of all Ugandans. By 30 June 2020, Uganda had not registered a single Covid-19 death and had had less than 1 000 infections. The Covid-19 pandemic, however, created great panic among the leadership of Uganda’s neoliberal regime. For three decades, the Ugandan state has deliberately underfunded the health sector, using the neoliberal logic that the market will address the challenges of the health sector. The state has treated economic and social rights as mere aspirations and not as genuine human entitlements. Museveni’s regime has rejected pleas from civil society organisations to allocate 15% of the budget to the health sector, as per the Abuja Declaration. The New Public Management philosophy of neoliberalism advocates for public hospitals and health facilities to be run like private-sector enterprises that employ fewer personnel in order to cut the costs of salaries and wage expenses. This article argues that the Ugandan state violated the right to health of Ugandans during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown. It contends that the ruthless enforcement of the lockdown in Uganda in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic aimed to protect the neoliberal state from embarrassment occasioned by the prioritisation of markets over people’s social and economic rights.

Resumen

This essay examines the potential for liberal democracy in Uganda by analyzing four sources: (a) results of recent national elections, (b) survey data about how Ugandans define democracy, (c) survey data about Ugandans' democratic attitudes, and, in a more theoretical vein, (d) Guillermo O'Donnell's notion of “informally institutionalized” polyarchy. Most of the survey data suggest that Ugandans hold democratic attitudes that should support a liberal democratic system. However, election results, as well as a survey of popular definitions of democracy, suggest that Ugandans do not endorse the full range of values associated with liberal democracy. O'Donnell's description of informally institutionalized polyarchy as a semiliberal form of democracy aids our conceptualization of democracy in Uganda. The essay concludes that the definition of democracy is, and is likely to remain, a contested issue in Ugandan politics.

Resumen

The material presented in this paper was derived from research on sources of current literature that address global sanitation problems, especially in Uganda. Information gathered from interviews with Ugandans provided a vital component. The paper presents background information on the sanitation issues faced by Ugandan children in general and by individuals with physical disabilities in particular. It reviews the global progress being made to achieve international goals of sanitation and hygiene and compares them to the situation in Uganda. In particular, the paper sheds light on how, in the past two decades, Uganda has made meaningful strides with regard to equal rights and societal inclusion for individuals with disabilities, including access to improved sanitation facilities as well as regulations to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of public facilities. However, these achievements do not include assistive technologies that can enable the physically disabled to use the many sanitation resources such as pit latrines in rural areas. Finally, the paper describes research that focuses on a marginalized group of disabled Ugandans who are excluded from the solution landscape.

Resumen

Queer Ugandans operate as identity fugitives, a term to describe the ways gay and lesbian Ugandans cannot share their whole selves in the public domain and sometimes even in policed private spheres. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) organizers have responded by creating refuges for endangered and alienated queer Ugandans. These spaces are sacred because they resist homophobic sites of hostility throughout Uganda. In June of 2016, the Ugandan LGBTQ community commemorated victims of the Orlando massacre in the United States as they meditated on the fragility of queer life globally. The violence at Pulse nightclub in Orlando reinforced the precariousness of these cultivated sacred spaces. The LGBTQ community in Uganda bravely commemorated the victims of the massacre by creating a transnational site of mourning, one that highlighted the dynamism of queer expression even under government sanctioned societal oppression.

Resumen

Background The prevalence of heart failure (HF) is increasing in Uganda. Ugandan patients with HF report receiving limited information about their illness and associated self-care behaviours. Interventions targeted at improving HF self-care have been shown to improve patient quality of life and reduce hospitalizations in high-income countries. However, such interventions remain underutilized in resource-limited settings like Uganda. This study aimed to develop a digital health intervention that enables improved self-care amongst HF patients in Uganda. Methods We implemented a user-centred design (UCD) process to develop a self-care intervention entitled Medly Uganda. The ideation phase comprised a scoping review and preliminary data collection amongst HF patients and clinicians in Uganda. An iterative design process was then used to advance an initial prototype into a functional digital health intervention. The evaluation phase involved usability testing of the intervention amongst Ugandan patients with HF and their clinicians. Results Medly Uganda is a digital health intervention that allows patients to report daily HF symptoms, receive tailored treatment advice and connect with a clinician when showing signs of decompensation. The system harnesses Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) technology that is already widely used in Uganda for mobile phone-based financial transactions. Usability testing showed Medly Uganda to be both acceptable and feasible amongst clinicians, patients and caregivers. Conclusions Medly Uganda is a functional digital health intervention with demonstrated acceptability and feasibility in enabling Ugandan HF patients to better care for themselves. We are hopeful that the system will improve self-care efficacy amongst HF patients in Uganda.

Resumen

This thesis examines the settlement of Gujaratis in Harrow, London, and the evolution of Gujarati organisations during the 1970s and the 1980s. Most Harrow Asians settled in the Borough after 1972, following their expulsion from Uganda. The Asian community, therefore, is predominantly East African and the majority of Asians originate from the Indian state of Gujarat. Gujaratis were not welcomed in Harrow, yet the Borough could not prevent Asian immigrants from settling in this part of London. The proximity of Harrow to large Asian settlements in north London made it attractive to the more established immigrants. The first years of settlement were mainly dedicated to building a firm economic base, and Gujaratis established, during the 1970s, various associations that complemented their economic activity during the 1970s. Some associations were founded on traditional lines. These were mainly caste and religious associations, which were also the most resourceful in financial and human terms. The affiliation of Gujaratis to different caste associations created serious rivalries with the consequence that the Gujarati community in Britain has remained divided. In Harrow, rivalries have emerged within the Asian community as a result of a growing competition for scarce resources. During the 1980s, Harrow Council declared itself an equal opportunities employer and, by this act, has raised the expectations of Asians that the Borough would be more responsive to their needs. Several pressure groups have emerged, and Gujaratis played a major role in exerting pressure on the Council. Though some Gujarati activists were equally active in traditional associations, the intensification of the relationships with the Council assisted in the emergence of a new type of leadership, comprised Gujaratis who identified themselves as black and who adopted the ideological framework of institutional racism. Although the thesis is about the settlement in Harrow of this community, the original interest of the researcher was focused on the food habits of this population as a method of measuring acculturation. Fieldwork on this subject was conducted both in Harrow and India. The thesis ends, therefore, with a description of the Gujarati diet both in Britain and India, with an analysis of the significance of the changes that have taken place in this area.

Resumen

ABSTRACTPolice departments across Uganda are faced with significant challenges to reducecrime, improve quality of life, and, use meagre resources. Many have struggled tofind the right balance between keeping communities safe, while at the same timehaving transparent and effective policing methods and approach. This thesisexamines effectiveness or/ and ineffectiveness of community policing. This isderived from people’s perceptions of the policing strategies used within theircommunities.The research focuses on the nature of community policing and its, perceptionamong the Ugandans and how these policing strategies are important to policelegitimacy (acceptability) and how it helps them in gaining the trust of the localpopulation. The thesis discusses reasons to why community policing has not beenaccepted by the Uganda population. Continually therefore, it is examined whethercommunity policing has brought about reduction in crime rate.The thesis revealed that there is much laxity in bridging the gap between thecommunity members and the police. Most people feel police is not involving theentire community into their activities, people think police is to protect certaingroups of people in society especially the rich. Most people (47%) negativelyperceive community policing, though 56% reported that it is an importantprogram. Reduction in crime due to community policing was observed. Thethesis concludes by advocating for strategies that are important for a successfulcommunity policing program implementation.Finally, the thesis recommended involvement of the media and need for police toadapt to use of new technology to avoid confrontation by masses that may besuspicious, for example, body-worn cameras (BWCs).

Resumen

When two or more languages come in contact, they influence each other in various ways, for example through word borrowing, transfer of sounds, morphology and syntax taken from one language system and imported to another. In this study, the primary concern is on the indigenous communities of Uganda learning the English language, plus the influence that this interaction brings into the linguistic space. Bringing the Ugandan multilingual situation into perspective, the study looks at how the English language has interacted with the local languages and the local speech habits, customs and traditions of the indigenous people, to the extent that it has been indigenized. Some word usage results in miscommunication due to the socio-cultural uniqueness of Ugandan cultural expressions. As an example, because of the practice of polygamy in most Ugandan cultures, words like co-wife are coined to mean 'a woman who shares a husband, or a husband's other wife', a word that is absent in both the language and culture of native English speakers. Furthermore some words are formed by calquing some indigenous language expressions, e.g. 'to eat money' or 'to eat cash', an expression that is calqued from the Luganda phrase, kulya sente. Such word coinages are meant to fill the 'shortfall' where the English language fails to provide adequate equivalents. Understanding the context of this kind of English usage and the influence from the indigenous languages is helpful in handling inter-cultural discourses, as the same expression may convey different senses to different people in different contexts. So then, this study deals with some peculiarities of Ugandan English, namely; the features of Ugandan English grammar which are influenced by the indigenous languages. Evidence from the Corpus of Ugandan English is explored to establish that indigenous languages in Uganda have a significant influence on the English language variety spoken in the country, and that a large part of English bilingual speakers cannot speak English without transferring the features from their mother tongue or indeed, switching and mixing codes. A British corpus was used for the purposes of comparison with Ugandan English. The research was conducted in Uganda, drawing data from English newspapers, radio and television talk -shows that were recorded to provide a structural analysis of the contact situations. The result of the study points to the fact that, indeed, the phonological, morpho-syntactic and semantic characteristics of Ugandan English have a considerable amount of influence from indigenous local languages. This study is hinged on the assumption that when indigenous languages and the target language come together in a linguistic contact situation, the resulting variety would exhibit distinct phonological, lexical, grammatical and semantic/pragmatic features ( cf. Sankoff, 2001; Thomason, 1995; Thomason & Kaufman, 1988; Winford, 2005). However, some of these innovations have attracted criticism from 'prescriptivists' such as Quirk (1985, 1988, 1990); Gaudio (2011); and Abbot (1991) who perceive them as 'nonstandard', 'incorrect English language usage' and a 'direct translation from the language user's mother tongue into English'. Yet, indigenous languages continue to play important roles in shaping the kind of English language usage in Uganda.

Resumen

The 1980s and 1990s saw two major changes in the political economy of the media and the world economy at large: technological advancement and transfer and privatisation. There were significant shifts in media industries: newspapers, broadcasting, cinema and telecommunications when governments begun re-regulating their air waves so as to permit private satellite transmission via both encryption and free-to-air, in addition to public service and private channels. In most societies where these changes have taken place, public service broadcasting has been threatened by the rapid rise of commercial institutions, resulting in stiff competition for audiences. This study set out to determine the extent to which commercialisation, in the era of liberalisation and commercialisation of media services in Uganda, has affected Radio Uganda’s programming. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of investigation, I have established that while Radio Uganda still maintains certain public service principles and values, programming policy has increasingly been changed by commercial considerations. This is shown by the recent rise of commercial programmes and a fall in education and developmental programmes. Limitations of finance and other resources have compromised the roles and character of public service radio programming. The majority of programmes currently on Radio Uganda are evidently geared to attract advertisers rather than serve the public interest. The study recommends, among other measures, that the licence fee be developed as a source of revenue for Radio Uganda. Secondly, government should inject more funding into public service broadcasting institutions to supplement other sources of income, before granting them autonomy. Thirdly, while advertising and sponsorship brings in a considerable amount of revenue, it should not take a central place that undermines the listener’s interest in radio programming. The Broadcasting Council should therefore map out solid policies that will systematically guide Radio Uganda in its programming in the new order.

Resumen

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.

Resumen

This study examines the linkage between health benefits, fuel efficiency, and environmental concerns in Uganda's sustained use of Clean Cooking Technologies. The research employed a quantitative approach to investigate the relationships among the study dimensions. A questionnaire survey was administered to 379 households. Subsequently, the data was analyzed using Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS) software. The results depict that health benefits, fuel efficiency, and environmental concerns significantly predict the sustained use of Clean Cooking Technologies in Uganda. The three dimensions augment to explain 29.3% of the variance in sustained use of the dependent variable. As indicated, the predictors partly explain the Sustained use of Clean Cooking Technologies in Uganda. A host of predictors 70.7% remain unaccounted for. Having benchmarked the quantitative design in this study creates ample space for social realists who prefer the qualitative approach. A comparative analysis may be conducted between the two designs to investigate if there are any variations in the results. This research paper combined three dimensions; health benefits, fuel efficiency, and environmental concerns with Expectation Confirmation Theory/ Model (ECT) ECM using Smart PLS to explain the continuous use of Clean Cooking Technologies in Uganda.

Resumen

This paper aims to investigate the role of individual adaptability and its dimensions in fostering psychological well-being of Ugandan small enterprise employees. A cross-sectional survey design using quantitative approach was used in this study. Data were collected from 726 employees of small enterprises in Uganda using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists and uploaded into AMOS version 23. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling technique. Results confirm that individual adaptability and its dimensions enhance the psychological well-being of small enterprise employees. First, the sample of this study consisted of employees working with small enterprises in Uganda with different demographic characteristics; thus, the generalizability of these findings to other sectors or contexts needs to be established. This study has managerial implications in a way that Managers should have people management skills with a mental health component where they will be able to recognise the signs when an employee becomes less well. Small enterprise managers should also create a work climate that enables employees to be adaptive to changes.

Resumen

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.

Resumen

This brief provides considerations around the humanitarian and policy implications of the general food and cash assistance (GFA) prioritisation strategy in Uganda’s refugee settlements. In light of ongoing cuts to humanitarian funding, the considerations in this brief are relevant to refugee-hosting countries in and beyond East Africa. Globally, protracted emergencies and displacement situations are increasingly undergoing severe and chronic underfunding.1 In the face of ever-shrinking funding, humanitarian settings have recently seen the introduction of ‘prioritisation exercises’. These exercises often involve reductions to food assistance, implemented within pre-existing conditions of high economic vulnerability and based on specific framings and categorisations of this vulnerability. They aim to direct limited humanitarian resources towards those international institutions identify as most ‘in need’.2,3 This brief outlines the prioritisation strategy in Uganda, a country that currently hosts 1.7 million refugees. The brief shows that the strategy’s implementation, against high baseline levels of malnutrition and household vulnerability, has had wide-ranging consequences, including undermining the viability of Uganda’s much-celebrated self-reliance model. The brief builds on research conducted in 2024 to examine the processes that inform the prioritisation exercise in Uganda, its effects on food security for refugees and the viability of Uganda’s self-reliance strategy. It draws on data collected through ethnographic methods, interviews and focus group discussions with South Sudanese refugees in Palabek Refugee Settlement and Rhino Camp Refugee Settlement over eight months. It also builds on both authors’ expertise on the Ugandan refugee emergency, discussions with government employees and humanitarian and health workers engaged in the Ugandan refugee response and academic and grey literature.

Resumen

Humanitarian actors in Ugandan refugee settlements face the dual challenge of preparing for and responding to epidemics, while providing essential humanitarian assistance. They must balance their international mandate to protect refugees and uphold human rights with a variety of public health measures to safeguard refugees, humanitarian workers and Ugandan host communities from epidemic threats. This complex task also involves addressing broader regional, national and international public health implications of uncontrolled epidemic spread. Previous SSHAP briefs have described specific considerations regarding cross-border dynamics between Uganda and neighbouring countries in the context of epidemics. The brief Key Considerations: Cross-Border Dynamics Between Uganda and South Sudan in the Context of the Outbreak of Ebola, 2022 highlights the complex movement of people across the highly porous – and sometimes contested – South Sudan-Uganda border, which cuts through multiple ethnic groups. It describes mobility as related to networks of kin, livelihoods, trade, education, healthcare, and the search for safety and security. The brief suggests that Ebola preparedness and response activities need to be locally appropriate, paying specific attention to the livelihoods of people in this region. Another brief specifically highlights the need to consider the context specific vulnerabilities of refugees in Uganda in relation to epidemics. This brief builds on these insights and presents considerations for five areas of epidemic preparedness and response in Ugandan refugee settlements, drawing on the experience of COVID-19 and its implications for humanitarian protection. It focuses on refugee settlements in north Uganda, drawing on ethnographic data collected during COVID-19 in Palabek refugee settlement, Lamwo district. This is combined with insights from published research, grey literature, and discussions with government employees and humanitarian actors engaged in the Ugandan refugee response.

Resumen

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 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.
