Foreword
The District has continued to emphase decentralised development planning process as provided in the
Local Government Act Cap 243. Section 36(3) empowers local governments to develop their own
development plans by incorporating the lower local council plans and priorities. Development Planning
provides the basis for identifying development priority needs and presents a framework in which
development opportunities, objectives and targets are developed to realise intended outputs. Setting
appropriate policies and objectives within the available resource envelope is a process which requires
participation of all stakeholders. It is in accordance with this statutory requirement that this development
plan has been prepared.
The Kisoro District Local Government vision is “A united, Healthy, well -Educated and Wealthy
Community”. This plan is intended to contribute to the achievement of this vision.
The overall goal of the district is to achieve at least 90% of the district strategic objectives by end of
2019/2020.The district strategic objectives are:-
 Increasing the levels of education and literacy in the district

 Ensuring that infrastructure facilities including feeder roads, safe water supply, and public
buildings are available and well maintained.
 Ensuring food self-sufficiency and food security in the district
 Ensuring that natural resources within the district are sustainably utilised.
 Providing adequate and accessible health services to the people of Kisoro
 Increasing participation and sustainability of government programs and empowering marginalized
groups like women, children, youth, people with disabilities and minority Batwa.
 Collecting sufficient revenue to ensure that service delivery standards are improved.
In the last five years we have, as a district, made tremendous achievements which include but not limited
to ; building of health centres at health level, roads have been constructed and maintained , water
coverage has been extended , classrooms and pit latrines have been constructed at various schools and
ensuring political and financial accountability.
Despite the achievements registered by the district in implementation of the previous plan, some
challenges were noticed and documented. These are; slow growth in economic development variables
due to poverty which limit community participation, planning fatigue, a narrow revenue base, poor roads
and communication network, inadequate safe water, poor sanitation, lack of alternative and affordable
sources of energy, pressure on the limited facilities as a result of cross boarder movements of people,
increase in HIV/AIDS incidence rate.
The continued existence of the above challenges brings into perspective the need for coherent and
poverty focused approaches to planning that will address the felt needs of the people in the District. To
this end, a bottom up approach to planning was adopted as a cornerstone in the elaboration of this plan.
The Plan lays emphasis on agriculture, social services infrastructure development as well as value
addition. It highlights sectoral key results, objectives and interventions for the above priorities together
with other enabling sectors which include environment & natural resources, services industry and
innovation, cooperatives and trade.
i
The implementation of National Vision 2040 will depend on the actions and measures that we undertake
as a district, private sector, civil society and as individuals. Therefore, the commitment and dedication of
all stakeholders towards its realization is of paramount importance. To achieve our aspirations as stated
in the national vision, we need to have the right attitudes and mind-sets particularly towards work,
improving our competitiveness, and collective participation in the plan implementation.
I congratulate the members of the District Council and its committees and heads of departments for a job
well done. Special mention goes to the Chief Administrative Officer, the Department of Planning staff and
indeed the entire District Technical Planning Committee for their varying roles in preparation of this
District Development Plan. This plan has taken a lot of resources and commitment on the part of the
political leadership and technical staff. It should be the guiding principle as we strive for the betterment of
our peoples’ lives in the next five years.
Lastly, I call upon the people of Kisoro District Council, the Central Government, Donors, Civil Society
Organisations and all people of good will to seriously commit themselves to the implementation of this
plan. Specifically, I am calling upon political leaders and Technical Staff to develop an appropriate
mechanism for effective monitoring of the implementation of this plan. We must monitor and document
the experiences gained from the implementation of the plan.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY
Mr. Bazanye Milton Mutabazi
CHAIRPERSON KISORO DISTRICT

consulted in the process of developing this plan.
I am grateful to the Ministry of Local Government (MoLG), Ministry of Finance, Planning and
Economic Development (MFPED), other line Ministries, the Local Government Finance Commission
(LGFC) for their support and most importantly the National Planning Authority (NPA) for availing
planning guidelines used in the planning process.
Special appreciation goes to the District Executive Committee (DEC), Sectoral Committees and the
Resident District Commissioner (RDC) for their guidance on policy and priority setting.
Finally, I wish to acknowledge with appreciation the information provided by all the stakeholders

1.1 Background
1.1.1 Legal Context of Kisoro District Development Plan 2015/16-2019/2020
The plan has been developed in fulfilment of Article 190 of the constitution of the Republic of Uganda
(1995) which mandate and oblige the District Council to prepare a comprehensive and integrated
development plan incorporating plans of Lower local Governments.
The plan is also in line with the requirements of the local Government Act Cap 243 section 35(1) which
designate the District council as a planning authority for Kisoro District.
Further, the plan has been informed by National priorities as spelt out in the NDP II and vision 2040
whose preparation was spearheaded by the National Planning Authority in line with their mandate as
stipulated in Article 125 of the constitution of Uganda and the NPA Act.

1.2 KISORO DISTRICT PROFILE
Kisoro District is located in the South Western Uganda and shares a boundary with the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda. The District is occupied by four main groups of people, the
majority of whom are Bafumbira, followed by Bakiga, Banyarwanda and Batwa respectively. Kisoro is
home to the famous Muhabura Volcanic Mountains and Bwindi impenetrable forest where the rare
Mountain Gorillas are found.
1.2.1 HISTORY OF THE AREA
Kisoro was originally known as Bufumbira, a County of Kigezi District. During the early 1970’s, Kigezi
was divided into the Districts of Kabale and Rukungiri. Kisoro was part of Kabale until May 1991 when it
became the 35th District of Uganda.
In 1939 after widespread famine in Rwanda, a large wave of immigrants arrived in Kisoro area and by
1949 the area had increased in population.
In 1953, the British administrators initiated a resettlement programme encouraging the residents of
Bufumbira County, now Kisoro District, to move to other parts of Uganda (especially North Kigezi -
Kinkizi area and Bunyoro/Toro). Incentives were in terms of free transport, food rations, agricultural
equipment and farm utensils such as hoes, pangas as well as household effects like saucepans, plates
and blankets. In order to discourage new comers and land fragmentation, the immigrants had to leave
their land with their immediate relatives.
More recently, the population growth in Kisoro District has been mostly influenced by periods of civil
unrest in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In 1959, when Hutus in Rwanda overthrew
their Tutsi chief, the Tutsi fled to Uganda, and some settled in Kisoro area. During Uganda’s political
instability 1971-86, including the liberation war of 1979-80, some Ugandans and Rwandan refugees fled
into Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The number of Bafumbira, who have migrated from
and into neighboring countries and beyond, is not easy to determine. According to the 2014 population
and the present District population is about 287,179 compared with 221,278 in 2002.
1.2.2 Geographical characteristics

1.2.2.1 Location
Kisoro District is located in South Western Uganda, lying between longitudes 29 o 35’’ and 29 o 50’’ East
and latitudes 1 o 44’’ and 1 o 23’’ South. It is bordered by the Republic of Rwanda to the South, the
Democratic Republic of Congo to the West, Kanungu District to the North and Kabale District to the East.
The Total land area of the District is approximately 729.2 Km 2 (662 Km2 open land and the rest is open
water and swamps), which makes it one of the smallest Districts in the country. The District is remote
and has its headquarters in Kisoro Municipal Council .The District is approximately 510 km from
Kampala.
1.2.2.2 Topography
The District lies on an average altitude of 1,981m above sea level and can be categorized into two
topographical zones, the southern low lands and the northern high lands. The southern part, which is a
low land, is interrupted by the volcanic ranges of Muhabura (4127m), Mgahinga (3475m) bordering the
Republic of Rwanda and Sabyinyo (3645m) bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo. The northern
part is predominantly hilly with very steep slopes and narrow valleys. The topographic nature of the
District has impacted greatly on transport and communication systems in the District. Some parts of the
District such as Buhumbu, Buhozi, Nyarutembe, Nteko, Rutaka, Nyundo, Bubuye, Muhindura, Chibumba
35
and Karambi are hard to access. Public Transport is difficult and often takes the form of open trucks. As
a result these areas find it difficult to access critical services such as health, market for produce (banana
and Irish potatoes) leading to perpetual and at times increasing levels of poverty.
1.2.2.3 The Soils
There are four main soil types found in Kisoro District namely Eutrophic, Ferrallitic, Non-hydromorphic
and Papyrus Peat soils. They were formed as a result of geological and geomorphologic processes.
Overall the soils are highly fertile and with increased environmental protection, could reasonably sustain
a high population.
1.2.2.3.1 Eutrophic Soils (Volcanic Ash)
These are often rich in organic matter and sometimes saturated with bases to more than 50% of its
exchange capacity. These soils are found in the southern part of the District in the sub-counties of
Busanza, Muramba, Nyarubuye, Nyakabande, Nyarusiza and Chahi.
1.2.2.3.2 Ferrallitic soils
These are mature soils with deep layers and dark horizons. They are generally found on hill slopes in the
sub-counties of Nyabwishenya, Kirundo, Bukimbiri, and parts of Nyarubuye and Busanza.
1.2.2.3.3 Non - Hydromorphic Soils (Organic Soils of Mountains)
These are very productive soils with high humus content found predominantly around Mt. Sabyinyo.
They have high water holding capacity but are easily affected by dry seasons.
1.2.2.3.4 Papyrus Peat Soils
These are mainly found in wetlands (swampy areas). They are limited in productivity and are highly
fragile. The chemical composition of these soils is easily changed by drainage. These soils are mainly
found in the sub-counties of Busanza, Murora and Bukimbiri.
1.2.2.4Hydrology
Kisoro District has both surface and underground water sources. Open water bodies and swamps cover
28.3 Km2 (National Biomass Study, 1995) and 9.8 Km2 of the District area respectively.
The District has lakes Mutanda, Mulehe, Chahafi, Kayumbu and a crater lake on Mount Muhabura.
There is a network of permanent swamps, which include Rugezi, Kabiranyuma and Nyakagezi in the
south. These are sources of water for gravity flow schemes supplying the rural population in Nyarusiza,
Muramba and part of Chahi. The Northern part has Ruhezamyenda and Murungu rivers, which supply
portable water to the communities. However, a large number of the population still lack safe water.
1.2.3 Economy
Over 89 % of the population in the District depend entirely on subsistence farming. The rest of the
population depend on employment income (5% 2002 Census), business enterprise (2% 2002 Census),
cottage industry (0.1% 2002 census),property income(0.2% 2002 census), family support(3.4% 2002
census) and other occupations(0.6% 2002 census. Generally the average household income is very low
especially in the rural areas.
The local population earns income from the sale of horticultural crops such as cabbages, carrots and
onions and other non-traditional cash crops such as beans, peas, Irish potatoes bananas from one part
of Kisoro though of recent it was affected with bacterial banana wilt. A large section of the population sell
36
labour for income and only 0.8 % is employed gainfully. In the boarder towns of Cyanika, Bunagana and
20 rural growth centres, and the Municipal Council, about 4% percent of the population earn their living
from petty trade.
The District Local Government on the other hand gets revenue from 3 major sources namely, Central
Government transfers, locally raised revenue and donor funds.
Although the District priorities its expenditure according to its income, national priorities like feeder road
maintenance, Agricultural Extension, primary education, and Primary Health Care are emphasised in the
District budget. The biggest portion of the budget largely depend on central government transfers,
followed by donor funds and lastly locally raised revenue.
The major source of the locally raised revenue is market dues. The other sources are licenses, permits
and other minor sources. Budgeted amounts are normally not realized because of the prevalent poverty,
natural disasters, epidemics, famine and inadequate mobilization. It is hoped however that since
parliament has passed the Local Service Tax bill and government has promised to continue
compensating for graduated tax, the proportion of the locally raised revenue to the budget will increase.
1.2.4 Vegetation
Available information indicate that originally the District had canopy montane rain forest in Mgahinga and
Bwindi impenetrable forest national parks; and bamboo, small shrubs and grasses in the low land. To
date most of the land has been cultivated and natural forest only remains in protected areas of Echuya
(702 ha), Mgahinga and Bwindi. There is also planted Eucalyptus, Black Wattle, Pine and Cypress trees
owned by individual households. Generally the District suffers from acute shortage of fuel wood and
building materials because available forests are in protected national parks. There is virtually no natural
vegetation in areas inhabited by the communities.
1.2.5 Climate
1.2.5.1Rainfall
Kisoro District experiences two rainy seasons a year. Over 1500 mm of rainfall is registered during
March to May/June period. The second rains are in August to October. The dry seasons are from
November to February and June to August. Mean annual rainfall is between 1000 and 1250 mm.
However, Mgahinga and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Parks probably receive more rainfall than
the rest of the District. The rainfall pattern is conducive for two crop seasons hence making crop
production possible all year round. The rains also favour the cultivation of a variety of horticultural crops
that feed the city markets in Kampala.
1.2.5.2 Temperature
Kisoro District has a relatively low temperature with a mean annual maximum temperature of 23 o-25oC in
the dry spell and mean annual minimum temperature of 10 o - 12.5 o C.
1.2.5.3 Humidity
Relative humidity in Kisoro District is between 80% and 90% and falls to about 40% during the dry
season.
1.2.5.4 Wind
Strong winds are experienced in the District during the dry season and at the onset of the rainy season.
The absence of effective windbreakers has aggravated soil erosion as a result of these strong winds.
1.2.6 Mineral resources
No known hydro-geological study has been carried out to establish the mineral potentials of the District.
However, available information indicate existence of limestone and clay deposits in Busanza, iron ore in
37
Iremera (Bukimbiri), gold in Kirundo, wolfram in Nyarubuye, Nyakabande and Murora, tin deposits in
Kanaba and Nyarubuye and lava ash which is a potential for low grade cement. There is a need for
detailed studies on existence and viability of mineral exploitation in the District.
1.2.6 Administrative structures
1.2.6.1 Administrative Set-up

Kisoro District is a one county District (Bufumbira County). The District Council’s proposal to sub-divide
the District into 3 counties of Mutanda, Bufumbira, and Kigezi has not been approved by Parliament. The
District has 13 Sub-Counties, one Municipal Council and 3 Town boards. There are 34 rural Parishes, 3
Municipal division and 389 villages. The Parishes in each of the sub-counties are shown in table 1.3
below.

1.2.7 Political Structure
In line with Section 4 of Local Governments (Cap 243), the local governments in the District are District
Council, 13 Sub-County Councils, and 1 Municipal Council.
The District council has an Executive Committee of 5 members including the Chairperson. The role of
the District Executive Committee is to initiate and formulate policies for approval by the council and to
oversee implementation of Government and Council policies among other things. Members of the
executive committee are also Secretaries of various Standing Committees namely, Production and
Natural Resources, Finance, Planning and Administration, Health and Education, Community Based
Services and Works and Technical Services.
The standing committees are responsible for monitoring and reviewing the performance of their
respective sectors and report to Council, which is chaired by the Speaker assisted by the Deputy
Speaker. However, most of the councilors at all levels need orientation and training for better policy
formulation and planning so as to meet the challenges under decentralization.
1.2.8 Administrative Structure
The Chief Administrative Officer is the head of the District Civil Service. The staff are deployed in 11
departments namely: -
i. Administration
ii. Finance
iii. Planning
iv. Health
v. Community Based services
vi. Production
vii. Works and Technical Services
viii. Education and Sports
ix. Council, Boards and Commissions
x. Environment and Natural Resources
xi. Internal Audit
1.2.9 Administrative Infrastructure
1.2.9.1 Office and Residential Accommodation
Some of the District Administration Offices are housed in a-three wing Administration block, constructed
by the local community with assistance from the Austrian government.
39
The District Administration building has 37 offices with a Council hall. Office space is however still a big
problem as the, Technical Services department is still currently housed in the service bay structure.
All the 13 rural Sub-Counties have office buildings. However, some offices are in a state of disrepair.
None of the Parishes have offices.
The above scenario not only poses administrative problems of posting and supervision of staff, but also
difficulties in attraction, recruitment and retention of suitable staff. The District is however constructing
the 4th wing of the Administration blocks although lack of funds has delayed its completion.
1.2.9.2 Administration of land
The District Administration owns land where the headquarters is located. It also oversees lands where
the sub county and parish headquarters are located. Public lands e.g. grazing areas and district forests
are also under the District Administration. However, all these lands are not surveyed and have no land
titles. This has caused encroachment, which has led the District into legal wrangles with the public. In
some cases the District has lost the land. This will be a major undertaking for this plan period.
1.2.9.3 Town boards and Rural Growth Centres
There are 2 town boards (Rubuguri and Bunagana) and 20 Rural Growth Centres (RGCs) commonly
called trading centres. Only Rubuguri Town Board has a physical plan. The rural Growth centre of
Chanika though meeting most of the requirement for the town Board has not been elevated to Town
Board status. large These Rural Growth Centres are characterized by growing populations hence the
need for planned development. Rubuguri and Bunagana have applied for a Town Council status.
1.2.10 Demographic characteristics
1.2.10.1 Population
The total population according to the 2014 population and housing census is 287,179 people. Of
these,128,741 are male and 158,438 are female. The population has been growing steadily since 1969
(114,798) through 1980 (126,664), 1991 (186,681) to 2002 (220,312). The annual population growth rate
between 2002- 2014 is 2.21 percent (2014 census). Total fertility rate of 8.5 (2002 census) is very high.
The population density of the district is 353.9 persons per Km2. About 269,618 people live in rural areas
and 17,561people live in urban areas(2014 census). The hilly terrain, soil fertility and accessibility mainly
influence the settlement pattern. Consequently, the sub counties of Nyarusiza(30,263), Muramba
(36,355)and Nyakabande(26,489) are more densely populated than the rest of the sub counties. Over 60
percent of the population is between the ages of 0 and 19 years and 4 percent are above 65 years of
age. (2002 census) This indicates a high dependency burden often manifested in large numbers of
unemployed youth. Due to population pressure a number of people have migrated to other Districts in
search of land.

1.2.12 Social-economic infrastructure
1.2.12.1 Livelihood patterns
Livelihoods describe the whole complex of factors that allow families to sustain themselves materially,
emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Central to this is income, whether in the form of cash, or in the form
of natural products directly consumed for subsistence. The rural poor in Kisoro District derive a
significant fraction of their total income from ecosystem goods and services and spend mostly on bride
price, looking after extended families, polygamy and visiting witch doctors. The majority of Men do not
allow their wives to engage in gainful employment
The 2002 census revealed that 89 % of the population in the District depend entirely on subsistence
farming,5% on employment income, 2% on business enterprises,o.1% on cottage industries, 0.2% on
property income,3.4% on family support and 0.6% on other occupations. Generally the average
household income in the District s very low.

1.2.12.2 Human settlement: The population of is mainly settled on hillsides, valleys, along national and
district feeder roads. The steep slopes, deep valleys, plateaus, wetlands and natural forested areas are
mainly for cultivation, grazing and planting tress. About 6% of the population live in the urban areas and
94% in rural areas (2002 Census)
1.2.12.3 Small scale industries and businesses
A number of business people have set up small scale and businesses They include, Bakeries,
Grain/cereal milling , honey processing, metal casting and fabrication, handcrafts, beverages and food
processing, tailoring and garment making, woodworks, pottery , sand works, mining and quarrying,
knitting, printing and publishing, hair salons, building contracts, liquid soap, candles, petroleum jerry, art
paintings, , charcoal burning, brick making, technical services, transport, petrol station operations, motor
repair garages, recording studios, TV, Radio and other Electronic Repair workshops
CHAPTER TWO: SITUATION ANALYSIS
2.1.1 Management Support Services
46
The mandate of the department is to ensure improved Service delivery, accountability and optimal use of
Resources to achieve value for money. The Sector comprise of ; Administration, Human Resource,
Information and Public Relations, County Administration, Records Management and Internal Audit. In the
previous plan period the department has coordinated activities of all other departments and LLGs,
trained and mentored officers, recruited staff, played an advisory role to District council, offered
secretarial services to District Executive and security Committees, coordinated implementation on
Government and non- government programmes in the district.

inspection and monitoring work. The department is generally underfunded.
The district has 139 primary schools, and a total enrollment of 75,602 pupils. When compared to the 6-
12 old children, the age group for primary school, the primary school enrollment in the district is 126
percent The Gross enrollment ratio (GER) is above 100 in all sub counties except Kanaba( at 86
percent) The high GER could be attributed to the cross-boarder influx of pupils from Congo ad Rwanda,
and the enrollment of children outside recommended age range for primary. Many children below 6years
are enrolled in primary schools largely because of limited schools providing pe-primary or nursery
education. In addition, many children above 12 year are still in primary school, because of late starting
and frequent drop out and restarting. The Dropout rate in the District is 25 percent majority of whom are
girls. The major reasons for the high dropout rate and absenteeism included but not limited to attending
to domestic issues, petty trade, limited parental and community support to education. It has also been
noted that Teachers absenteeism is caused by attendance to personal issues, lack access to some
services in their localities and general laxity.

In line with the Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan (HSSIP), the District recognizes that
effective delivery of the Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package (UNMHCP) will be achieved
through Partnerships. Consequently, Kisoro District shall partner with other Government Sectors, Private
Sector, PNFPs, PHPs, CSOs and Health Development Partners (HDPs) for the successful
implementation of the HSSIP. The Public Private Partnership in Health (PPPH) Policy that was approved
during the Joint Review Mission (JRM) of 2012 further strengthens the Partnership principle.
2.1.7.2 Human Resources for Health (HRH)

The District plans to increase HRH productivity by strengthening and rolling out performance
management, use of Workload Indicator Staffing Needs (WISN) to address work pressures; and
improving leadership and management. The District will also increase HRH accountability through
developing institutional capacity in leadership and stewardship and accountability at all levels of the
health system. All effort will be made to enhance mechanisms for compliance to ethics, standards, good
professional practices and their rights and protection for the health professionals; enhancing
patients’/clients’ rights and grievance handling at health facilities. Staff absenteeism is a big problem.
The District will reduce health workers’ absenteeism through enhanced monitoring and supervision at all
levels of health care.
Strategies to improve immunization coverage up to 2020 shall include:
 Dissemination of the Immunization Policy;

 Achieve at least 99% coverage for all routine childhood antigens;
 Introduce new vaccines into the routine immunization services: these shall include Rotavirus,
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Inactivated Polio Vaccine and Meningitis A Vaccines;
 Strengthen community participation in immunization services like the existing Community
Structures to Reach Every Community (REC);
 Achieve and sustain polio eradication, sustain maternal neonatal tetanus elimination and achieve
zero measles morbidity;
2.1.7.3 Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health Services:

In order to ensure universal access to these services, Kisoro District has steadily ensured equitable
distribution of service points in all villages and sub-counties. Currently, these services are offered up to
HC IIs, at Parish level. However, the utilization is still unacceptably low. For instance, though facility
deliveries increased from 42% (2012/13) to 49% (2013/14), many mothers still deliver at home
unsupervised by trained health workers. Some deliver under Traditional Birth Attendants’ (TBA) care.
The percentage of pregnant women attending 4 ANC sessions actually decreased from 46% in
2012/2013 to 39% in 2013/204 while post-natal attendances slightly increased from 23% to 25% over the
same period.
2.1.7.4 OPD utilization
62
New outpatient attendance (OPD), as a measure of utilization in Government and PNFP facilities
decreased from 9/2010 to 106.5% (1.1) compared to the National target of 0.9 attendances per capita in
the FY 2010/2011. 347,103 out of the expected 325,998 attended Gov’t and PNFP facilities as new
cases. The decrease in OPD utilization is attributed to stock outs of key essential medicines in health
facilities.

2.2. Analysis of the State of cross cutting issues
2.2.1 Nutrition
Nutrition is a process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth Good nutrition
refers to a state when the food we eat is able to provide the recommended amounts of nutrients for the
body to perform all its physiological activities. Good nutrition makes an individual healthy, more
productive and improves the quality of life. Nutrition plays an important role in the social economic
development of any society. Malnutrition (stunting) therefore, which stand at 51% in the district is a major
development concern. The major goal of the District in this area is to reduce the level of multination from
51% to 25% by the year 2020 so that people can live healthy and productive lives.
Good nutrition means:
 Eating the right food

 At the right time
 The right amounts (Quality and Quality) to ensure a balance diet and should be prepared in the
correct way and right place.
63
The country, under the Uganda Nutrition Action Plan, intends to reduce the level of stunting among
children under 5 years from 38 to 32 %, underweight in children under 5 from 16 to 10%, under weight
among non-pregnant women (15-49 years ) from 12 to 18 %, Iron deficiency anemia among children
under( 5years) from 73 to 50%, Iron deficiency among women ( 15-49 years)from 49 to 30, Vitamin A
deficiency among children(under 5years) from 19 to 13%, Vitamin A deficiency among women (15-49
years)from 20 to 12% and low birth weight among new born(weight less than 2.5kgs) from 13 to 9%.
The plan also seeks to increase excusive breastfeeding for infants under six month from 60 t0 75%,
dietary diversification index (foods other than cereals and starchy roots) from 57 to 75%and calorie
consumption per capita from 2,220 to 2,500kcal.
The nutrition of the district in 2012 indicated 3.6% wasting compared to 3.8% during 2014, underweight it
was 9.2% in 2012 while in 2014 it was 7.9%, stunting showed 42% in 2012 and 33.5% in 2014. This
shows that there was a minimal improvement in the nutrition status of population in the district.
Recently the district has been getting support from USAID funded SPRING, FANTA, Africa 2000
network, CHC and Doctors for global health in this area which greatly appreciate.

Lessons learnt
 Established DNCCs and SNCCs should lead interventions

 Previous efforts had concentrated on only three sub counties but there is an overwhelming
demand to role out interventions to the remaining 11 LLGs.
 Minority and vulnerable groups should be given priority
2.2.2 HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS is the biggest global development challenge of the time. In Kisoro District, AIDS has evolved
from a health burden to a serious development crisis with visible social and economic effects on the
entire society. Various factors have contributed to the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS. These include poverty,
income and gender inequalities, alcoholism, sexual gender based violence, cultural practices and cross-
border trading activities. Untreated sexually transmitted diseases and others.
HIV/AIDS mostly affects the productive ages of 19 – 45. This prevents an increasing share of the
population from participating in economic growth, which results into increased poverty. This situation
therefore results into vicious cycle of poverty when the reduction in economic growth increases poverty
as poverty accelerates the spread of HIV/AIDS.
In Kisoro district, HIV/AIDS is recognised as a development and security issue. The experience and
lesson show that it undermines the whole fabric of development and drastically affects the economic
progress. The mult-sectoral policy has created an enabling environment for the district response.
Openness about the disease and the gravity of its impact has been practised in the district. This attitude
has contributed to high levels of awareness and knowledge. Co-ordination mechanism that is facilitator,
70
participatory and all-inclusive and involvement of various stakeholders from various sectors, NGOs,
religious institutions has also contributed to the impact so far felt in the district. The district has tried to
integrate HIV/AIDS activities into other district priority programs hopping to achieve a big push in the
direction of poverty eradication.
Improving the quality of people living with HIV/AIDS has been the major drive behind care and support
services in the district. Whereas treatment for opportunistic infections have been made available by
government throughout the district at most government health facilities and NGOs, the major outstanding
challenge is increasing access to antiretroviral treatment to the majority of the population that need it.
Stakeholders in the HIV/AIDS struggle in the district have tremendously contributed to the success of
district efforts against the epidemic. Majority of CBOs and NGOs dealing in HIV/AIDS in the district have
contributed on initiatives targeting prevention on the spread and mitigation of the impact of the epidemic
at individual, family and community levels through various interventions aimed at improving the physical
and psycho-social well-being of both infected and directly affected. It is therefore important that
reducing poverty in the district will lead to enhanced efforts to reduce HIV/AIDS scourge which has
posed a great challenge to majority of the district population that is highly dependants on agricultural
production.
2.3.4.1 Social economic and cultural factors that enhance the spread of HIV/AIDS.
There exist some social economic and cultural factors in the district that have enhanced the spread of
HIV/AIDS and impacted on the prevention and mitigation measures put in place. These include;
 People of childbearing age must have children. This is promoted by the importance of the heir, men
and women who die without children are accorded different burial ceremonies, pride of having
children and society expectations of adolescents to marry at an early age.
 Congestion and lack of privacy where parents share the same room with adolescents or children of
the different sexes sharing the same room may lead to early engagement into sex activities.
 Widow inheritance, incest, defilement, rape, polygamy, some traditional herbalists having sex with
their clients, poverty, traditional festivals, burial ceremonies, sex workers in urban areas, drug and
substance abuse, influence of alcohol, absentee husbands (migrant workers), long distance drivers,
misconception that young girls do not have the disease, spouse sharing, redundancy, idleness and
peer pressure.
 Interview with police personnel revealed that defilement is still on the Increase. It was reported that in
2004, 18 rape cases were recorded, 4 cases were taken to court, and 14 cases are still under
investigations, 4 cases of indecent assault were reported and are still under investigation, in the
same year, 135 defilement cases were reported of which 89 cases are still under investigation while
71
15 disposed off due to lack of evidence. 1 case of adultery and 1 case of elopement were recorded.
In 2005 from Jan-October 97 cases of defilement were recorded while 17 rape cases were reported.
2.3.4.2 Effects of HIV /Aids on Production/Economic Growth

The development largely depends on subsistence agriculture. HIV/AIDS has a great impact on the
productive segments of Kisoro population. In the District HIV/AIDS has evolved from a Health burden to
a serious development crisis with visible social economic effects on the entire community. HIV/AIDS
mostly affects the productive ages of 19 -45 and this increasingly affects the population from
participating in economic growth activities, which results into increased poverty. This situation therefore
results into a vicious cycle of poverty where the reduction in economic growth increases poverty, which
in turn accelerates the spread of HIV/AIDS.
How HIV/AIDS aggravates poverty at house hold levels.
- It removes wage earners from employment.

- It reduces the capacity and ability to engage in agricultural and economic productive work which
threatens food security.
- It deflects resources to health care and Medicine for the Infected.
- Draws down on household’s savings, and capital which leads to poor nutrition, school dropout,
Inability to access health services and reduced purchasing power.
- Death of Income earner results in orphans becoming dependents with the burden of provision of
basic needs leading to increased number of street children, Child headed families, Exploitation and
crime.
Effects of HIV/AIDS on community/district
- Increased loss of skilled human resources in Agriculture, business and civil service.
- Increase use of resources for consumption/care rather than investment.
HIV/AIDS is eroding gains for Investment in Education
Recently the district has been getting support from USAID funded SPRING, STAR SW PROJECT, SDS,
ASSIST and AIC and CSF- funded MUHABURA CSF HIV PROJECT which have ended. Currently the
major IPS in operation are USAID RHITES and ADRA Uganda.

-HIV/AIDS coordination structures are very vital for the successful implementation of HIV programs
2.2.4 Gender
Gender refers to the relationship between women and men based on socially or culturally constructed
and defined identities, status, roles and responsibilities that are assigned to one or the other sex.
Strategic development planning demands a central focus on gender to warrant equal consideration for
the involvement of both men and women in the development process. During the planning process at
community level, participants analyzed gender in respect of access, control and ownership of resources
among men, women, boys and girls. This analysis gives a picture of what is taking place at household
73
and community and this affects the performance of individuals in resource Mobilization and participation
in the development process / activities. Factors that contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS in a gender
dimension include; sexual and gender violence, breakdown in social and community structures, lack of
physical and legal protection, inadequate of health infrastructures, limited education and skills training,
poverty and forced sex
The District is implementing some programmes in partnerships with, ADRA, BMCT,UOBDU, Dioceses of
Muhabura, Kononion Ministries, Support for OVC, Water school, Compassion International, their
continuous support is highly appreciated.

SCORE (0-5) OF GENDER ANALYSIS IN TERMS OF RESOURCES, CONTROL & OWNERSHIP.
Socio-economic empowerment is attained when women and men have equal access to and control of
resources, when their welfare has improved relatively to men i.e. income, access to social services,
education and training opportunities, employment etc. political empowerment is attained when women
are able to participate in decision making at all levels of governance from household to District level. The
analysis is shown below for the district.

Implication of the above analysis
There is lack of effective to access and control over important resources by a significant majority of
women is also a major challenge to their ability to participate in the decentralized structures. Access and
control of prosperity, credit and cash play a key role in political participation.
It is clear that unequal, non-cooperative gender relations are a fundamental cause of poverty. The
imbalanced divisions of roles and responsibilities results in women’s overburden, reducing their
productivity and the success of their business ventures and thereby undermining family food security and
welfare. Women’s lack of control over assets such as land, livestock and other resources means that
they lack influence on how cash income generated from these assets is used. Men decide how to spend
family income and in many cases, they spend it for their own benefit rather than for the benefit the whole
household. Children are also in this same category as they do not own or control any economic resource
independently.
There is a male predominant culture in favor of men at the expense of women leading to
women’s marginalization hence increasing their vulnerability. Women’s vulnerability arises from
unequal power relations which accord them less access to control over assets and resources
than men.
76
The sector will there advocate for increased equality and equity between men and women
through improved gender relations and gender responsive planning and budgeting
The persistent increase of domestic violence, family breakdowns, child neglect and
abandonment indicate that the stability of the family institution is at stake. Family stability values
have been eroded due to poverty, excessive alcoholism, moral decay and polygamous
practices at large.
The sector will there continue to advocate for restoration of good family values for the benefit of
all families and communities at large.
Therefore priority need be given while passing by-laws to provide a firm legal basis for these efforts and
strengthen women’s land rights. Functional Adult Literacy training and sensitization on domestic issues
can reduce gender inequalities and improve gender relations with benefits for both women and men.
however, women issues have been included in this development plan such as girl child education,
operationalization of UPE policy, promotion of reproductive health(reducing infant mortality and maternal
mortality, among others), project implementation process, commercialization of agriculture and other
advisory needs etc.
Factors that increase vulnerability of specific groups.

 Organize and participate in district budget related activities such as sectoral committees, budget
conferences and training of women in contract management
 Collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Planning as well as Ministry of Gender, Labour
and Social Development and ULGA for advocacy.
The district recognizes gender budgeting as a useful policy that has great potential for influencing
equitable resource allocation to poor women and men as well as other disadvantaged groups. There is
need to ensure that budget and the policies and programs that underlie them address the needs and
interests of individuals that belong to different social groups. It is therefore based at biases that can arise
because a person is male or female, but at the same time considers disadvantage suffered as a result of
ethnicity, caste, class or poverty status, location and age. This policy is not about separate budgets for
women or men nor about budgets divided equally. It is about determining where the needs of men and
women are the same, and where they differ. Where the needs are different, allocations should be
different.
The broad strategies for women empowerment in the general context should include;
1. Promote a holistic and integrated approach to development by ensuring that gender issues common
to different sectors are adequately identified, analyzed and addressed.
78
2. Mobilize, sensitize and train the population on gender issues.
3. Promote and carry out gender oriented research as well as compiling, analyzing and disseminating
gender disaggregated data by the Planning Office.
4. Provide infrastructure particularly in the rural areas to facilitate equal market access by women
farmers.
5. Formulate organs and programs that facilitate women farmers to access financial, technical
extension and marketing services.
6. Promote intensive training programs so that women acquire employable skills.
7. Develop and make available appropriate and affordable technologies for rural women as alternative
source of energy which effectively reduce women’s workload and save time while protecting the
environment.
In conclusion therefore, a lot has been gained in community empowerment particularly regarding the
inclusion of marginalized groups' opinions and views under decentralization. The increased level of
gender sensitivity among lower Local Government leaders has helped enhance the role of women in
democracy as most setbacks to development were affecting the women more adversely. The
representation of women in governance has increased, though this needs to be followed up by increased
participation in development debates. Rather than targeting mostly women, confidence building
programmes should target men as key stakeholders in the emancipation of women.
2.2.9 Disability
Strategic development planning demands a central focus on PWD to warrant equal consideration for the
involvement of disabled persons into development process. During the planning process at community
level, participants analyzed disability issues in respect of access, control and ownership of resources
among the PWDs. This analysis gives a picture of what is taking place at household and community and
this affects the performance of individuals in resource Mobilization and participation in the development
process / activities.
The District is implementing PWD special Grant programme that support projects that improves on the
job creation and income among the group members as well as access to credit and saving services
supported by the programmed.
The community sector is also responsible Promote and protect the rights of
PWDs,
Promoting awareness to the communities to provide equal treatment to PWDs in regard to

education. And provision of facilities that favor physically affected.
Initiate IGAs such as shoe making and small scale commercial agriculture.
Offer credit services as one form of their empowerment.
Sensitize them against bequeathing their property when they still alive
To fully integrate people with Disabilities (PWDS) within the communities
To assess and build the capacity of PWDs for sustainable development

 Health Workers should trained in handling PWDs issues and special facilities be procured for
easy access and utilization
2.2.5 Environment
Environment is defined as man’s surrounding taking into account both abiotic and biotic components that
interact together in addition to the built up. Environment and natural resources are very important in
development and they should be managed sustainably. These include land, water, wetlands, mountains,
and hills, minerals, forests and wildlife. In Kisoro district most households especially the rural population
derive their livelihoods from the natural resources. These components are sources of food, revenue and
raw materials for development. The environment also has indirect benefits which affect people’s
80
wellbeing, development and the economy of the district. The livelihoods of the poor heavily depend on
the environment. In addressing poverty it is equally important to integrate sustainable environment
management. The natural resources like forests and trees, wetlands and water bodies act as carbon
sinks to reduce green house gases which cause global warming and leads to climate change with its
effects like heavy rains, landslides, floods, droughts. Environment is a cross cutting issue that affects
every level of planning and has been integrated in the different sectors and plans in the district.
The environment is being threatened by human activities and increasing population who over depend on
environment resources for survival. The decline in soil fertility, vegetation cover and fisheries are
impacting heavily on the communities by constraining their ability to increase their income thus getting
more vulnerable.
The legal frame work about environment helps to sustainably conserve the environment and natural
resources. There are Policies, laws, regulations, standard and guidelines that provide a basis for
sustainable management of natural resources. These include National Environment Management Policy,
National Environment Act, Cap.153, Land Act and National Forestry, the National Physical Planning Act,
2010 and Tree Planting Act, 2003. In addition to these the Regulations and standards to ensure
sustainable environment management include the National Environment (Environment Impact
Assessment Management )Regulations, 1999, The National Physical Planning guidelines and
Standards, 2012, The National Environment (Riverbanks, Lake shores and wetlands Management)
Regulations, 2000 and The National Environment (Hilly and Mountainous Areas
Management)Regulations, 2000.
To ensure implementation of the above laws, Central government set up a fund called PAF-Environment
and Natural Resources management. In addition, to this under locally raised revenue and Local
Government Management Services Delivery Program the environment management activities have been
implemented. There has also been funding from different organizations to facilitate environment
conservation activities and these include IGCP, WWF, and IFDC. Plans to conserve, sustainably use
and manage environmental resources will remain a priority since environment is a vital component at all
levels of development.
Causes of Environmental Degradation in the District
Man is the primary degrader of the Environment which is seen to escalate with increasing population
where currently the population density is about 400persons/km2.
In Kisoro district the most affected segments of natural resources are;-
 Land through land fragmentation, poor methods of farming, poor solid waste management and
over cultivation
 Wetlands that have been reclaimed for tea growing and growth of other agricultural crops
 lakeshores and river banks whose cultivation has resulted into deteriorated fish productivity and
increased siltation
 Forests both natural and planted have been indiscriminately cleared for mainly timber and fuel
wood. In addition the forests have been encroached on for cultivation and settlement.
 Aqua faunal species especially fish stocks have declined through over fishing and using poor
fishing methods
However, the trend of environmental degradation can be curbed through mitigations such as the
following;-
Land degradation: Land is the most highly valued resource for production but has been degraded
through land fragmentation, cultivation and inappropriate application and use of inorganic fertilizers and
agrochemicals
Mitigation measures
-Sensitization of communities on soil and water conservation

81
-Phased vegetation clearing that is fallowing.
-Use of registered and recommended agroinputs
-Practice good agronomic practices
-promote use of organic agro-inputs
Poor farming methods
Kisoro district is an agrarian district with about 89% of the population depending on agriculture as a
source of livelihood. Many farmers depend on the natural environment. Therefore with increasing
population there is increasing demand for land causing degradation of existing terraces and not following
proper agronomic practices.
In Kisoro district introduction of tea as a cash crop has impacted on the environment through invasion of
the fragile ecosystems such as wetlands, lakeshores, riverbanks and forests. This tea program does not
favor microhabitats and biodiversity being a monoculture crop that requires high application of
agrochemicals.
Mitigation measures
Develop a district land use plan through which zonning the district for suitability for different agricultural
enterprises could be prioritized.
Formulate bye-laws and ordinances on management of fragile ecosystems
Dermacation and gazetting all the fragile ecosystems
All introduced programs and plans to undergo a strategic environmental Assessment
Poor solid waste management
The district has a number of growth centres, 2 townboards and 1 municipality. However, the increased
populations in the centres and lifestyles have resulted into generation of massive solid waste particularly
plastics. The plastics are used for packing manufactured goods and others in addition to spirits.
However, the district lacks a facility for safe disposal of the wastes living them flying in the environment.
Mitigation measures
The Municipality to procure an appropriate site for a dumpsite/landfill
Bye-laws and ordinances on solid waste management should be enacted
Introduce technologies for recycling and reusing wastes
Degradation of wetlands, Lakeshores and riverbanks
These ecosystems are found in the East and North Constituency of Bufumbira Kisoro district where the
terrain is hilly characterized of v-shaped valleys most of which have wetland characteristics. Most of
them have been encroached on for cultivation of seasonal crops but with the introduction of tea growing
some wetlands already under tea. Most degraded critical and vital wetland ecosystems include Chahafi,
Gitundwe, Rugyegye, Ruhezamyenda and River Kaku which are lacustrine and riverine. Other reasons
for which wetlands have been degraded is dairy farming and establishment of recreational facilities.
Mitigation measures
Enact bye-laws and ordinances on fragile ecosystems utilization
Creation of awareness
Enforce existing laws and regulation on fragile ecosystems management

82
Deforestation
Kisoro district originally had a tropical montane vegetation of tropical deciduous forests but with
increased population these have dwindled with the remaining ones being in protected areas particularly
National parks and Forest Reserves of Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga Gorilla and Echuya
respectively. However, a few natural local forest reserves exist namely Kafuga and Nombe and on
private land in the North of the district. Efforts have been made to revegetate the landscape where
exotics particularly Eucalyptus sp., Cuppressus sp and Pinus species are dominant. Despite these
efforts the rate of deforestation remains high due to increasing demand for wood products mainly timber,
staking and fuel wood.
Mitigation measures
Promote Forest Law enforcement, governance and trade on timber
Conduct sensitizations on effective and efficient use of wood products for example energy saving stoves
and non-use of power saws for pitsawying
Establish nursery beds and provide seedlings to farmers at subsidized prices
Reduced fish productivity and fisheries
Kisoro district has 4 volcanic fresh water lakes with a size of 28.2km 2 namely L.Mutanda, L.Mulehe,
L.Kayumbu and Chahafi. However, the water bodies are not productive following past poor fishing
methods that included overfishing, use of undersized nets and degradation of the lakeshores.
Mitigation measures
Law enforcement to curb poor fishing methods
Strengthening the Beach Management Units
Effects of environmental degradation in Kisoro district

Lessons learnt
With inadequate funding for environment management activities the rate of degradation will continue
unabated despite the impacts to the population.
Environment degradation effect has led to food insecurity and retarded development.
Tea growing program in the district should is not compliant with the existing laws and policies in the
country.
Mainstreaming environment should be prioritized by all sectors.
2.2.6 Climate change
The average weather conditions of a particular region of the world over a long period of time,
usually thirty years or more with regard to WMO
•Weather/climatic elements include; rainfall, temperature, winds, humidity, air pressure,

Sunshine (Solar radiation) and Cloudiness
Climate can therefore be described using one of these elements such as the Long-term
changes in long term statistics e.g. the average temperature, wind patterns and
precipitation/Rainfall or change in distribution over at least 30years change in average weather
over time and over a region
A change in state of climate that can be identified by changes in the mean and/ or variability of
its properties and that persists for extended periods (decades or longer).
Therefore, climate change refers to the long term change of one or more climatic elements from
a previously accepted value; while climate variability is the disruption of normal climate patterns
that result into either excessive rainfall totals or prolonged drought conditions.
Drivers (forgings) of climate change which are the substances and processes that alter the
earth’s energy budget.
The Natural drivers are the following;
85
•Changes in earths orbit around the sun and tilt: affect the amount of sunlight reaching the
earths surface
•Variation in Solar cycle (Changes in solar activity/intensity), which drives the climate system
•Volcanic eruptions: Volcanoes emit aerosols and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere .
•Aerosol emissions tend to block sunlight and contribute to short term cooling. Carbon
dioxide emission increases warming
Anthropogenic drivers (human induced changes) are the human activities that emit green house
gases into the earth’s atmosphere, which changes the composition of the atmosphere of which
carbon dioxide is the most important. One key outcome of accumulation of GHGs is the a rise in
the earth’s temperature.
Climate change is currently on of the critical global challenges and Uganda is not exceptional
since despite being a sink for GHGs, these gases do not respect national boundaries. In Kisoro,
climate change hazards are evident as shown floods, land slides, droughts and pests and
disease outbreaks. With about 90% of the district population dependant on agriculture with the
above hazards impacts are food insecurity, poverty and ill health among others.
This has hindered agriculture in the district and has led to food insecurity. Climate change has
affected availability and supply of water and high rate of disease outbreaks.
Uganda is a signatory to United Nations Framework convention on Climate Change and the
Kyoto protocol. It is upon this the country has developed a number of legislation such as
policies, laws and plans. In this context NDP1 and NDP11 and the country vision 2040 identifies
climate change as both threat but also an opportunity and devotes all sectors of the economy to
address climate change at all levels if Uganda is to attain the vision statement of a transformed
Ugandan society from a peasant into to a modern and prosperous country within 24 years. In
addition national climate change policy 2013 provide a comprehensive framework for the
harmonization and coordination of the various sectoral efforts for mainstreaming climate change
concerns in the relevant sectoral, national and local policies, plans and budgets.

2.2.4 Disaster
Disasters are serious disruption of the community functioning or society causing widespread loss.
Disasters in Kisoro mainly include hailstorms, lightening, landslides/mudslides and drought. The
disasters are usually classified as Natural and human induced and in between hybrid. The classification
is usually based on speed for example floods and lightening categorized under rapid disasters.
In the country, the Office of the Prime Minister is the lead agency in disaster management and in charge
of ensuring there is adequate legal framework addressing these policies, legislation and guidelines and
have been developed mainly at National level. In addition, institutional framework has been established
to coordinate, supervise and monitor all endeavors in disaster management. Among is the National
Emergency Coordination and Cooperation Centre. In Kisoro district only the District Disaster
Management Committee composed of technical staff is in place while those at sub county and village
levels have not been constituted yet.
In respect of disaster management the District has ensure the following;-
- Ensure communities report hazards
- Work with sub Counties and communities to develop hazard profiles
- Ensure bye-laws, disaster and management are put in place
- Create awareness
- And train volunteers in disaster response
With the existence of the National Policy on Disaster Prepared Mangement, 2010 and other framework
such as Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 management of disasters has been streamlined. In
addition, The National Policy for Disaster Preparedness and Management (Section 4.1.1)
requires the Office of the Prime Minister to “Carry out vulnerability assessment, hazard and risk
mapping of the whole country and update the data annually”. UNDP’s DRM project 2015
90
Annual Work Plan; Activity 4.1 is “Conduct national hazard, risk and vulnerability (HRV)
assessment including sex and age disaggregated data and preparation of district profiles.”
Recently a district multi-hazard, risk and vulnerability profile for Kisoro district, was developed by
the OPM with funding from UNDP.

2.6 Key standard Development indicators
The Local Government departments and stakeholders in the development process identified indicators to measure
local government performance in the following four key local government areas:
 Financial management;
 Asset management;
 Social accountability and governance
 Land use planning; and
 Community satisfaction.
The above indicators are associated with benchmarks against which council performance can be assessed and
measured. The district council has overseen the development of the indicators with the view that measuring
council performance against indicators;
1. Improve performance management at the local council level;

2. Develop a culture of continuous improvement in the local government departments,
3. Provide a tool to build sustainable local government departments.
In conclusion therefore, the set indicators are geared towards measuring the performance of council operations as
follows
(a) Service provision performance: To provide relevant information about the effectiveness and efficiency of
local government services.
(b) Financial performance: To provide relevant information about the effectiveness of financial management
in local government.
(c) Sustainability: To provide relevant information about whether local governments have the capacity to
deliver services, absorb changes and shocks and make decisions in the best interests of the community over
the long term.

CHAPTER FIVE: LOCAL GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINANCING
FRAMEWORKS AND STRATEGY
5.0 Introduction
The fiscal functions of central and local governments are traditionally analyzed in terms of their
respective roles and responsibilities for income redistribution, expenditure provision, tax assignments
and tax transfers. Questions about the extent of centralization and decentralization are critical when
addressing the issue of national and local priorities. Which level of government will be responsible for
providing specific services to the population? How will those services be financed? This chapter gives
the revenue items that are released to Local Governments; those catered by donors and locally raised
revenue.
5.1 Strategies to raise the required resources for funding the development plan
will include:-
 Sensitization and education of existing and potential tax payers
 Identification of new tax sources and exploiting fully existing tax sources e.g. Local Service tax
and local hotel tax
 Encouragement of best practices for local revenue mobilization
 Involvement of all stakeholders in revenue mobilization
 Organize resource mobilization conferences
 Strengthen revenue supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation
.
 Most of the Local revenue sources have been tendered out to minimise on collusion and
embezzlement.
 Improvement of assessment methods
 Publicize the shame lists of tax defaulters on radio and notice boards.
 Strengthen internal controls spearheaded by Audit department.
 Service delivery should be linked as much as possible to tax payment

5.3. Roles and responsibilities and conditions of LGDP financing
The plan will be financed through both budget and non budget support to the district. The budget support
resources will come through the district budget while the non budget support will be implemented by
individual partners. The budget support resources will be managed by the District Accounting Officer and his
heads of department and sections Activities of partners are in line with the District Five Development Plan
and will be implemented according to memoranda of understanding between the District and Individual
partners
5.4 Strategies for ensuring efficiency and economy in LGDP financing
A Joint integrated planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation approach will be adopted.
Non core activities eg workshops will be discouraged
Internal controls will be enhanced
Duplication of activities will be discouraged
Partners and government agencies will encouraged to declare their resources
CHAPTER SIX: MONITORING & EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
6.0 Introduction
Monitoring is the regular observation and recording of activities taking place in a project or programme.
It is a process of routinely gathering information on all aspects of the project. To monitor is to check on
how project activities are progressing. Monitoring also involves giving feedback about the progress of the
project to the donors, implementers and beneficiaries of the project. Reporting enables the gathered
information to be used in making decisions for improving project performance. The purpose of the
monitoring and evaluation strategy is to ensure that planned activities have been undertaken as planned,
that the resources made available for plan implementation does not deviate from what was planned, that
the resources were delivered on time and schedule as planned, implementation of activities result into
planned outputs, outputs resulted into envisaged outcomes and that the plan met its goal.
6.1 Local Government Development Plan Monitoring and Evaluation Matrix

To facilitate alignment with the NDP monitoring and evaluation framework, the district adopted the same
monitoring and evaluation matrix as that of the NDP. The departments and LLGs implementing district
activities completed a monitoring and evaluation matrix for the activities under their jurisdiction to be
implemented for financial years 2015/2016 – 2019/2020. The matrix below will be the primary guide for
implementing the district M&E strategy.

6.2 Local Government Development Plan Monitoring and Evaluation
Arrangements
The M&E plan will be developed with a full list of indicators per department, data collection methods,
timelines and responsibilities. The M&E plan will also contain an evaluation plan detailing specific policy
and programme reviews to be conducted during the life of this DDP. The schedule of national surveys by
UBOS as key sources of information conducted in the five years will be included. Overall, M&E Strategy
is in place but not performing to the expected standards because of inadequate funding. All institutions
will be coordinated, conduct periodic performance reviews, share information with all stakeholders
involved in the implementation process will be intensified during the period of implementation.
6.1.1 Local Government Development Plan Progress Reporting
This will be done periodically during District Joint Budget Performance Reviews on quarterly basis
involving political leaders at all levels of governance, district and sub-county technical staff as well as
Participating development partners at sectoral level. This allows making management decisions on
course of action towards interventions under implementation. It should be noted that reporting
requirements will largely include progress reports- quarterly and annual reports, emergency reports and
donor specific reports where necessary. There are mainly of two processes namely; physical progress
reporting and budget performance reporting
6.1.2 Joint Annual Review of Local Government Development Plan
This will be done during annual District Joint Budget Performance Reviews and district budget
conference involving political leaders at all levels of governance, district and sub-county technical staff
as well as Participating development partners. This allows to make planning and budgeting decisions
regarding resource allocation where there mostly needed to avoid duplication of scarce resources. It’s
anticipated that this will involve desk review of planned activities and thereafter get evidence from the
field. Annual joint review for all local level HDDP stakeholders will be organized in May/ June to review
progress across all district activities. The review will be based on the cumulative quarterly performance
reports produced by District Planning Unit as well as on the first-hand experiences shared by plan
implementing agencies.
135
6.1.3 Local Government Development Plan mid -term Evaluation
The Midterm review of the district development plan will be conducted after a period of two and half
years through a highly participatory approach involving all stakeholders in the entire process. The
following steps will be followed during the process;
 Organize and facilitate a technical working group to review guidelines and tools that will be used
during the midterm review.
 Disseminate the midterm review guidelines and timeframe to technical planning committees both
at LLG and district.
 Departments will gather information required to compile their departmental achievements against
the targets in response to the district overall goal. This will be done in consultation with LLGs and
participating development partners.
 Organize a technical planning committee that will review departmental reports. Development
partners will be visited and consulted on development plan priority implementation for the period
since 2015/2016.
 The District Executive committee will convene and review the report for submission to council for
approval.
 The report will be presented to council for approval by Hon. Secretary for Finance, Planning,
Administration and Investment.
District Midterm review reports will be presented to the district leadership and administrative machinery
including the DTPC, DEC, and council. In addition the report will also be discussed by the joint annual
district review meetings. In conclusion, this review informed the formulation of the 2015/2016 -2019/2020
development as it pointed out issues for attention.
6.1.4 Local Government Development Plan End of Term Evaluation

The end term evaluation review of the district development plan for the entire 5 years will be conducted
through a highly participatory approach involving all stakeholders in the entire process. The steps to
follow will be the same as above but here the period under review will be for 5 years and directly will
inform the next development plan 2020/2021-2014/2025.
6.1.3 Local Government Development Plan Communication and Feedback

Strategy/ Arrangements
Communication plays a vital role in providing knowledge, changing people’s attitudes and norms. It can play an
important role in initiating or accelerating the changes that are already underway as well as in reinforcing and
supporting change that has occurred. Effective communication can also result in supportive policies, positive
136
legislature and increased resource allocation. To be effective, strategy must take three factors into account
simultaneously and these include; your goals and objectives, Operational constraints and imperatives i.e. things
you must do and things you cannot do and Pertinent conditions in the environment. The district will employ five
Management Decisions to ensure that each stakeholder is reached and these include;
Audience: Who needs to be reached?
Behavior: What change in behavior is required?
Messages: What messages will be appropriate?
Channels: Which channels of communication will be most effective in reaching your audiences?
Evaluation: How will the success/failure of the communication strategy are measured?
An effective Communication strategy is an essential element of the DDP implementation and monitoring and
evaluation frameworks. With regard to DDP implementation framework, it is crucial that all stakeholders in the
DDP process are adequately informed and mobilized to understand and comply with the district vision, objectives,
the targeted long-term outcomes and the strategic directions pursued in the DDP. But an effective Communication
strategy will also serve to actualize the required bottom-up influences presumed in the DDP conceptual framework
where local government priorities are expected to inform the selection of national sector development priorities.
With regard to the monitoring and evaluation framework an effective communication strategy will facilitate the
transmission of monitoring and evaluation findings and recommendations to the respective centres where actions
can be taken to address the issues that will be raised. Consequently, DDP formulation at both the district and
Municipality and LLG levels will include a description of the communication strategies that should:
 Outline the objective/goals of the communication,
 identify stakeholders,
 define key messages,
 Pinpoint potential communication methods and vehicles for communicating information for a specific
purpose, and specify the mechanisms that will be used to obtain feedback on the strategy.
6.3.1 The Importance of an effective Communication and feedback strategy in the DDP framework
There are a number of merits that a communication strategy in the DDP framework will serve. The major ones
include:
 Disseminating district programmes, projects and progress reports to inform/create awareness, including LLGs
 Creating awareness on the expected roles of the stakeholders in the implementation of the district
programmes, including LLGs, CSO, and community members
 Promoting dialogue and generate feedback on the performance of LGs
 Effective management of people’s expectations with regard to public services of the district.
 Effective communication framework will help of the people involved in the plan implementation process to
understand fully the plan and its implementation strategy thus preventing misunderstandings
 Strengthen relationships with the people involved in the plan implementation process and these leads to
achieving the set targets of the plan.
 Strengthens ownership of the plans

PROJECT OBJECTIVE
1. To reduce stunting by women accessing and utilizing ANC, WCC, and proper feeding practices
Targeted beneficiaries
Children and pregnant mothers
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION
Although Kisoro District produces a lot of food which could be utilized to meet the dietary needs of its
population, much of it is sold off out side the district and returns are not utilized for dietary purposes. This
scenario has led to stunting which currently stands at 51% according to NILA Report of 2012. In addition
in some parts of the district, many women have limited access to health services due to poor road
network and inadequate knowledge on nutrition. This project therefore seeks to address the problem of
malnutrition among women, babies and children . The project interventions will include;
1 Conducting health education talks in clinics and outreaches targeting children and pregnant
mothers on importance of Nutrition Assessment ,Counseling and Support
2. Training health workers and VHTs on Nutrition Assessment ,Counseling and growth monitoring
3. Sensitization of communities on the importance of Nutrition Assessment and growth monitoring
4. Equipping of health facilities with anthropometric equipment

MONITORING AND EVALUATION STRATEGY
The current M and E system for nutrition and food security indicators is weak, with minimal
and fragmented systems among sectors and development partners. To effectively track
Progress of the DNAP’s implementation and performance of the target outcome and output
Indicators, a comprehensive and integrated mult-sectoral monitoring system for nutrition as
developed by OPM will be adopted. All implementing agencies will submit annual reports in
the status of implementation and performance of target indicators to the DNCC. The DNCC
will then compile the reports to produce an annual report. An annual review meeting for the
implementing agencies and other nutrition stakeholders will be held. All implementing
agencies will submit quarterly reports in their thematic areas to the DNCC, which will
compile them and produce a quarterly report. Quarterly meetings will be held to discuss the
reports and come up with appropriate measures if implementation is slow or off track. To
evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the various programmes, interventions, and the
DNAP overall, evaluations and reviews will be conducted annually.

Back ground
Although Kisoro is endowed with abundant water bodies (Lakes occupy 27.km 2 i.e. 3.77%and swamps
12km2 i.e. 17% of the total land area) there is scarcity of fresh fish. In the early 1960’s, these lakes used to
210
produce enough fish for consumption for the people of Kisoro and a surplus for sale to their neighbors. Over
years, there have been dwindling fish catches to almost no catches at all.
Technical description
o Restocking of the lakes and ponds will be done with fish fry (fingerlings) from either one of the two
sources or both.
o The department will establish a fish breeding centre (fry centre) within the district to produce fry of
Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio). This method is more sustainable as
restocking will be done often as need arises.
o Selected fish farmers will be made to produce fish fingerlings for sell to the project and or farmers
for restocking
o Sensitization and training of fishermen and farmers
o Procurement and of fishing gear, patrol boats and other materials
o Acquisition of land for fry centers
o Distribution and stocking of fry in the lakes, cages and ponds

such big farm establishment is difficult. The only solution, therefore, is to establish zero grazing units and increase
the number of high quality animals
The project will have the following activities:-
 Identification of beneficiaries.
 Training of beneficiaries.

1.3 Objectives
The main objective is to create capacity among the timber stakeholders to ensure sustainable use and
harvest of tree resources for sustainable development and ecosystems conservation.
1.3.1 Specific objectives
1. To increase awareness on legal timber
2. To equip timber stakeholders with knowledge and skills on legal timber
3. To mainstream legal timber procurement procedures/ systems in kisoro district.
4. To share experiences on timber trade.
Disseminate materials for promotion of legal timber trade.
Targeted Beneficiaries: Entire District population
Project background and justification (maximum quarter page):
A workshop was organized by WWF on main streaming legal timber procurement procedures/ systems in
the great Virunga landscape where the objectives were;
- Introduce WWF projects and activities in the GVL
- Select a task force to promote legal timber in district procurement procedures
- Develop strategies & work plans to ensure tasks set for task forces are achieved
- Disseminate materials put in place for promotion of legal timber trade.
Issues of concern on timber trade included; illegal timber trade and irresponsible timber harvesting and
use of illegal timber in public procurements .
264
Among the impacts of this are; Revenue loss to the district and the Country and Loss of forest estates.
Uganda has enabling laws and institutions in as far as forestry law enforcement and governance on trade
are concerned. These include Uganda Forestry Policy, 2001, National Forestry Plan 2002 and NFTA
2003. While the institutions include the FSSD and NFA in MWE at National level and District Forestry
Services with the mandate of timber providing standards, policy guidelines, coordination and
supervisions.
Despite this, forestry loss (Biomass report, 2005 and NFA 2009) indicate that there is increased loss of
the estate mainly on private land. In addition, there is limited coordination specifically in view of
enforcement and many players/stakeholders involved in timber trade.
Other threats to forest resources include poverty, population pressure and a lot of pressure due to high
market demand for timber locally, within the country and in neighboring Republic of Rwanda.
In the background survey the stakeholders in the timber trade were identified who include the following;
the district council, the contracts committee/ procurement committee and District technical planning
committee, the timber dealers and contractors.
1.2 Problem Statement

Timber in Kisoro district is on a high demand both for local use in the district and beyond in places such
as Kampala and the neighboring country of Republic of Rwanda.
There is total lack of awareness on the impacts of irresponsible timber trade and use by the stake holders.
These stakeholders do not understand what legal timber is and the existing opportunities have not been
harnessed such as the legal framework and the existing structures and partners to ensure collaboration.
All the stakeholders are handicapped since they lack the necessary knowledge on legal timber to have
rightful decision during their routine duties. Despite the staffing of DFS through which the district has
demonstrated its support, to make it functional, the district is unable to meet the costs of creating
awareness of all the DFS staff and stakeholders on legal timber. Therefore, the district is sourcing for
supports from WWF to enable create awareness on legal timber to ensure sustainable social economic
development. In addition, if all stakeholders’ capacity is built to rightful/ rational decisions will be made
during procurement procedures since there will be improved knowledge on legal timber.
Technical description (what the project contains)
265
Awareness raising and capacity building; It is important that legal timber trade is brought to the
attention of the entire district community. This will be done through workshops/meetings, 2 radio talk
shows and radio spot messages aired for 30 days.
Production of IEC materials;. With the high levels of illiteracy and poor reading habits of the
community, some talking pictures (posters) will be produced to explain to the community the gist of the
matter. 1000 posters on legal timber procurement procedures/systems will be distributed to the
stakeholder and others displayed at public places
Monitoring and Evaluation; An M & E framework will be put in place to spell out required targets and
the team responsible which will be coordinated by the District coordinator. This will involve 2 review
meetings on discussion of the activity reports by the District Executive Committee.

Project objectives:
(i) To ensure availability of quality seedlings for interested tree planting communities
(ii) To have demonstrations on best practices on tree nurseries establishment and management
Targeted Beneficiaries: Entire district
Forestry resources have high demand in the district in particular and the country at large for timber, fuel
wood and bean stakes with the country losing approximately 92000ha of forest cover per annum. In
addition, cultivation as major threat to forests contributes greatly to lose of forest cover. Therefore, it is
important to easily access tree seedlings to farmers to encourage them to plant on marginal land.
Previous support from government (FIEFOC) and NGOs (CARE) has proved that with availability of tree
seedlings farmers are willing to establish woodlots and also practice agro forestry considering the strong
attachment to trees for both livelihoods and home consumption.
In lieu of this tree nursery bed establishment will contribute to increased vegetation cover and restoration
of degraded areas in the district.
Procurement of inputs; For nursery bed establishment the following will be required; assorted seed
(10kg),Pots(40kg),poles (32), mats(20), and 1 trip of manure, sand and soil. The District Forestry Office
will procure these bi-annually.
268
Hire of labour; Nursey bed establishment requires full attention of a person who can be called a nursery
operator or caretaker. This is to ensure realization of project’s objectives to full capacity.
However, in addition, it will be required that casual labour is sourced occasionally depending on stage of
the nursery. For example during pots filling with soil and transplanting seed into the pots a lot of labour
will be required.

3. To restore the natural vegetation of the lakeshores and rivebanks
TARGETED BENEFICIARIES: Communities
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Over the past 50 years, wetlands have experienced massive abuse mainly through drainage for agriculture. This
followed the common say where wetlands that were traditionally called swamps were referred to as wastelands and
therefore thought reclamation would be the best option to put them to better use. In addition, swamps are mosquito
breeding places and therefore cause of malaria. The notion that swamps are
Wastelands were aggravated by policy of 1955 to reclaim swamps for agriculture production. This prompted the
wide spread drainage and leasing of wetlands. The above could be attributed to lack of knowledge on functions,
benefits and attributes of wetlands. Wetlands are important and some of their functions include water storage,
filtration and above all offer a wide range of goods and products ranging from food, crafts materials, water,
medicines and firewood that contribute to socio economic well being of the local populace. Wetland management
is one of the decentralized functions to local government. Therefore, with the District Wetland Action Plan in
Place, Lake Mutanda has been identified for restoration as a means to ensure it provides goods and services to the
present and ensure the future generations also benefit from these resources.
The approach is multi stakeholder involving a wide range of cadres ranging from National to grass root. It will
involve awareness raising, capacity building, production of IEC, Community based wetland management planning
and monitoring and evaluation.
1. Awareness raising and capacity building; It is important that the problem water stress is brought to the
attention of the entire district community. This will be done through workshops, community meetings,
radio talk show, training and exchange visits.
2. Production of IEC materials; Through the engagement of the communities and stakeholders in the
workshops and other awareness rising for issues that will come up on unsustainable use of the landscape
and solutions provided for better use will guide the development of community user friendly manuals. In
273
addition, it is important that the some of the available legislation on Environment management is made
simpler for the community and other stakeholders to understand and interpret. This will also require the
translation of the key legislation simplified into the local languages. With the high levels of illiteracy and
poor reading habits of the community, some talking pictures (posters) will be produced to explain to the
community the gist of the matter.
3. Community Based catchment/wetland management planning and valuation of the resources; This
will require some degree of expertise which can be got from the District and government institutions.
Management planning will involve situation analysis, visioning, setting objectives, strategy development
and valuation. Through the situational analysis conflicts if any will be looked at, gender analysis,
stakeholder analysis DPSIR analysis and Identification of alternatives technologies applicable to
communities upstream. In total economic valuation will consider direct market valuation and indirect
market valuation this will be evidence for Payment for Ecosystem Services campaign.
4. Monitoring and Evaluation; An M & E framework will be put in place to spell out required targets and
the team responsible which will be coordinated by the team leader. This will involve review meetings
periodically and reports would be discussed in the District Committee responsible for Environment and
Production.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
4. To advocate for PES by National Water and Sewerage Corporation

5. To increase community participation in management of water resources
6. To provide alternative water technological options to the communities
TARGETED BENEFICIARIES: Communities and National Water and Sewerage Corporation
Echuya landscape is among the most productive of high-altitude montane catchments thus supporting various
ecosystems such wetlands, streams/rivers, hills and forest which in turn are habitats to large biomasses of flora and
fauna. Ecuya landscape is important to the Country and in particular Kisoro district economy. Water abstracted
from Chuho pumping scheme that has its source in Echuya landscape constitute over 50% of all natural water
available for commercial and domestic use in the district. National Water and Sewerage Corporation that is a
government parastatal generates over 2 billion shillings each year in water revenue. The water abstracted from
Chuho pumping scheme presently distributes water to Kisoro Town and its suburbs in addition to sub counties of
Chahi, Nyarusiza, Nyakabande, Muramba and Nyakinama where natural sources of water such springs are not in
easy access to the communities. This therefore explains the pressure on the scheme since the benefiting sub
Counties and Town are the most densely populated in the district. As a result, the water levels of the supply scheme
have lowered and rising fears of increasing water stress in the near future which will greatly impact on the
populations mostly women and children who are responsible for water collection for domestic use. Despite the
fragility of the ecosystems which play a singularly important role, no conservation measures have been embraced
in management of the catchment.
In addition institutions such as National Environment Authority, District Natural Resources Department and Local
Environment Committees are provided for under the different Laws but the latter are non functional yet they are
grass root/community based. It is no doubt that the legislation is put in place to address impacts of human activities
that affect the hydrological cycle, which provides the basis for exploitable water and for other life forms. Therefore
276
important for all stakeholders particularly the community to understand the ecosystems dynamics of the Echuya
Landscape that supports a high population.
Our conceptual approach proposes that Payment for Ecosystem Services and community participation in
management of the ecosystems will lead to sustainable utilization. The stakeholders particularly the community and
National Water and Sewerage Corporation have to appreciate the linkage of Chuho supply to Echuya landscape to
understand inter specific overlaps in human activities on the environment that affect the hydrological cycle
resulting into reduced water levels at both the supply scheme and source. In view of this, to understand impacts of
synchronized decreases in water in the landscape requires creation of awareness of all stakeholders on the changes,
to undertake a Total Economic Valuation of the Ecosystems to advocate for PES in conservation of the catchment.
Ecuya Landscape that provides water which is a finite resource supporting all life but under stress, requires
promotion of community based initiatives that enhance sustainable utilization and management of water.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: (i) To increase community participation in management of fragile ecosystems
(ii)To facilitate communities in fragile ecosystem planning
(iii)To identify and support sustainable IGAs in the fragile ecosystems
(iv)To restore the beauty of Kisoro’s landscape as the Switzerland of Africa
According to Kisoro DEAP (2002), most of the vegetation cover was probably dominated by the forests in the past.
However, these have been cleared as a result of the high population pressure. Remnants of these are found only in
the protected areas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP), Mgahinga Gorilla National park (MGNP) and
Echuya forest reserve.
The district is characterized by one of the highest population densities in the country, over 300 persons per km 2 in
some areas. The high population combined with customary inheritance of land has led to sub divisions of the land
holdings to sizes that hardly support families (UWA 2001). As such, with the exception of the National parks and
other protected areas like Echuya forest reserve the entire district has scanty vegetation cover.
The major problem is land degradation due to dependence on land for livelihood where over 90% and 95% of the
population depend on agriculture and fuelwood respectively. There is also degradation of forest biodiversity
through uncontrolled fires, which has increasingly become an annual occurrence. Long periods of droughts have
led to susceptibility of these fragile ecosystems to fire making it a threat to conservation of resources. This is
progressively becoming a prime factor in shaping the vegetation composition. This therefore requires concerted
efforts of all citizens and other stakeholders to ensure the lost glory of the district as the Switzerland of Africa is
restored.
involve awareness raising, capacity building, production of IEC, Catchment based management planning for the
ecosystems and monitoring and evaluation.
1. Awareness raising and capacity building; It is important that the problem of land degradation is
publicized for better understanding of the restoration concept. This will be done through workshops,
community meetings, radio talk show, training and exchange visits.
workshops, in addition to awareness rising; issues that will come up on unsustainable use of the fragile
279
ecosystems and solutions provided for better use will guide the development of community user friendly
manuals. In addition, it is important that the some of the available legislation on Environment management
is made simpler for the community and other stakeholders to understand and interpret. This will also
require the translation of the key legislation simplified into the local languages. With the high levels of
illiteracy and poor reading habits of the community, some talking pictures (posters) will be produced to

3. Catchment Based planning and valuation of the resources; This will require some degree of expertise
which can be got from the District and government institutions. Management planning will involve
situation analysis, visioning, setting objectives, strategy development and valuation. Through the
situational analysis conflicts if any will be looked at, gender analysis, stakeholder analysis DPSIR analysis
and Identification of alternatives technologies applicable to communities that are aimed at restoring the
fragile ecosystems. In total economic valuation will consider direct market valuation and indirect market
valuation this will be evidence for sustainable approaches in fragile ecosystems restoration campaign.
4. Implementing alternative IGAs and activities that restore the landscape; Kisor district is hilly with
valley bottoms that are water logged. Learning from traditional/indigenous knowledge soil and water
conservation measures such as terraces, contour bands and hedgerows will be put in place. In addition,
IGAs such as tree planting, beekeeping and tree nurseries will be promoted.

(ii) To protect the public land from encroachments
(iii) To establish a land information systems
Targeted Beneficiaries: District Council & other stakeholders
Kisoro District sits on a small surface area with even smaller size of land that is inhabitable, due to the
fact that most of the land is either too hilly or been allocated to national reserves such as game parks,
forests and wetlands to mention but a few. The population however, has been growing exponentially,
hence presenting too much pressure on the available land for settlement. As a result, a lot of land
fragmentation and encroachment has been witnessed in the District especially on land parcels, whose
ownership status is not clear, most of which include un-demarcated public lands.
Therefore, there is need to demarcate, and register for titling of all the public lands in a bid to protect
them from the encroachers and also enable proper planning and utilization of these properties by the
relevant authorities.

Cartography office
(ii) To enable the District Cartographer fully execute his duties
(iii) To enable complete transfer of Old Cartographic sheets and other Kisoro land survey records
from Kabale to Kisoro
Targeted Beneficiaries: District Council & members of the public
Kisoro District, until 2011 did not have a staffed or equipped Land office. When the staff were finally
recruited and assumed office in September 2011, they had to start from scratch, devising means to
execute work with little or no funding. Despite the recent purchase of surveying equipment, some
activities such as issuance of instructions to survey (I/S), checking and plotting of surveys done by private
surveyors are still performed in Kabale District since the Kisoro District Land office does not have the
capacity yet to execute the above activities, especially due to the lack of the core cartographic equipment
and safe storage facilities for sensitive land records such as cartographic sheets and survey equipment.
287
There is, therefore, the urgent need to procure these sets of equipment as a pre-requisite by the
Department of surveys and Mapping, of the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, to
enable full operations of the Staff surveyor’s (and or cartographer’s) office, independent of Kabale
District. This will in turn bring services closer to the people of Kisoro.
Requisitioning: Filling in the procurement form one, giving a detailed description of the required
equipment.
Verification: Inspection of procured equipment to ensure that the conform to not just quantity but also
quality standards.

Over the past 50 years, wetlands have experienced massive abuse mainly through drainage for agriculture. This
followed the common say where wetlands that were traditionally called swamps were referred to as wastelands and
therefore thought reclamation would be the best option to put them to better use. In addition, swamps are mosquito
breeding places and therefore cause of malaria. The notion that swamps are
Wastelands were aggravated by policy of 1955 to reclaim swamps for agriculture production. This prompted the
wide spread drainage and leasing of wetlands. The above could be attributed to lack of knowledge on functions,
benefits and attributes of wetlands. Wetlands are important and some of their functions include water storage,
filtration and above all offer a wide range of goods and products ranging from food, crafts materials, water,
medicines and firewood that contribute to socio economic well being of the local populace. Wetland management
is one of the decentralized functions to local government. Therefore, with the District Wetland Action Plan in
Place, Lake Mutanda has been identified for restoration as a means to ensure it provides goods and services to the
present and ensure the future generations also benefit from these resources.

TITLE OF PROJECT: Promoting Community Based Initiatives in sustainable utilization and

management of wetland resources in Echuya landscape

LOCATION: Kanaba, Bukimbiri, Murora, Nyakabande and Nyundo
FUNDS SECURED: 0
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
1. To advocate for PES by National Water and Sewerage Corporation

2. To increase community participation in management of water resources
3. To provide alternative water technological options to the communities
TARGETED BENEFICIARIES: Communities and National Water and Sewerage Corporation
Echuya landscape is among the most productive of high-altitude montane catchments thus supporting various
ecosystems such wetlands, streams/rivers, hills and forest which in turn are habitats to large biomasses of flora and
fauna. Ecuya landscape is important to the Country and in particular Kisoro district economy. Water abstracted
from Chuho pumping scheme that has its source in Echuya landscape constitute over 50% of all natural water
available for commercial and domestic use in the district. National Water and Sewerage Corporation that is a
government parastatal generates over 2 billion shillings each year in water revenue. The water abstracted from
Chuho pumping scheme presently distributes water to Kisoro Town and its suburbs in addition to sub counties of
Chahi, Nyarusiza, Nyakabande, Muramba and Nyakinama where natural sources of water such springs are not in
easy access to the communities. This therefore explains the pressure on the scheme since the benefiting sub
Counties and Town are the most densely populated in the district. As a result, the water levels of the supply scheme
have lowered and rising fears of increasing water stress in the near future which will greatly impact on the
populations mostly women and children who are responsible for water collection for domestic use. Despite the
fragility of the ecosystems which play a singularly important role, no conservation measures have been embraced
in management of the catchment.
In addition institutions such as National Environment Authority, District Natural Resources Department and Local
Environment Committees are provided for under the different Laws but the latter are non functional yet they are
grass root/community based. It is no doubt that the legislation is put in place to address impacts of human activities
that affect the hydrological cycle, which provides the basis for exploitable water and for other life forms. Therefore
important for all stakeholders particularly the community to understand the ecosystems dynamics of the Echuya
Landscape that supports a high population.
291
Our conceptual approach proposes that Payment for Ecosystem Services and community participation in
management of the ecosystems will lead to sustainable utilization. The stakeholders particularly the community and
National Water and Sewerage Corporation have to appreciate the linkage of Chuho supply to Echuya landscape to
understand inter specific overlaps in human activities on the environment that affect the hydrological cycle
resulting into reduced water levels at both the supply scheme and source. In view of this, to understand impacts of
synchronized decreases in water in the landscape requires creation of awareness of all stakeholders on the changes,
to undertake a Total Economic Valuation of the Ecosystems to advocate for PES in conservation of the catchment.
Ecuya Landscape that provides water which is a finite resource supporting all life but under stress, requires
promotion of community based initiatives that enhance sustainable utilization and management of water.
Awareness raising and capacity building; It is important that the problem water stress is brought to the attention
of the entire district community. This will be done through workshops, community meetings, radio talk show,
training and exchange visits.
Production of IEC materials; Through the engagement of the communities and stakeholders in the workshops
and other awareness rising for issues that will come up on unsustainable use of the landscape and solutions
provided for better use will guide the development of community user friendly manuals. In addition, it is important
that the some of the available legislation on Environment management is made simpler for the community and
other stakeholders to understand and interpret. This will also require the translation of the key legislation simplified
into the local languages. With the high levels of illiteracy and poor reading habits of the community, some talking
pictures (posters) will be produced to explain to the community the gist of the matter.
Community Based catchment/wetland management planning and valuation of the resources; This will require
some degree of expertise which can be got from the District and government institutions. Management planning
will involve situation analysis, visioning, setting objectives, strategy development and valuation. Through the
situational analysis conflicts if any will be looked at, gender analysis, stakeholder analysis DPSIR analysis and
Identification of alternatives technologies applicable to communities upstream. In total economic valuation will
consider direct market valuation and indirect market valuation this will be evidence for Payment for Ecosystem
Services campaign.
Monitoring and Evaluation; An M & E framework will be put in place to spell out required targets and the team
responsible which will be coordinated by the team leader. This will involve review meetings periodically and
reports would be discussed in the District Committee responsible for Environment and Production.

TITLE OF PROJECT: Fragile Ecosystem Restoration
LOCATION: Kanaba, Murora, Nyabwishenya and Kirundo Subcounties

293
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
(i) To increase community participation in management of fragile ecosystems
(ii)To facilitate communities in fragile ecosystem planning
(iii)To identify and support sustainable IGAs in the fragile ecosystems
(iv) To restore the beauty of Kisoro’s landscape as the Switzerland of Africa
According to Kisoro DEAP (2002), most of the vegetation cover was probably dominated by the forests in the past.
However, these have been cleared as a result of the high population pressure. Remnants of these are found only in
the protected areas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP), Mgahinga Gorilla National park (MGNP) and
Echuya forest reserve.
The district is characterized by one of the highest population densities in the country, over 300 persons per km 2 in
some areas. The high population combined with customary inheritance of land has led to sub divisions of the land
holdings to sizes that hardly support families (UWA 2001). As such, with the exception of the National parks and
other protected areas like Echuya forest reserve the entire district has scanty vegetation cover.
The major problem is land degradation due to dependence on land for livelihood where over 90% and 95% of the
population depend on agriculture and fuelwood respectively. There is also degradation of forest biodiversity
through uncontrolled fires, which has increasingly become an annual occurrence. Long periods of droughts have
led to susceptibility of these fragile ecosystems to fire making it a threat to conservation of resources. This is
progressively becoming a prime factor in shaping the vegetation composition. This therefore requires concerted
efforts of all citizens and other stakeholders to ensure the lost glory of the district as the Switzerland of Africa is
restored.
involve awareness raising, capacity building, production of IEC, Catchment based management planning for the
ecosystems and monitoring and evaluation.
Awareness raising and capacity building; It is important that the problem of land degradation is publicized for
better understanding of the restoration concept. This will be done through workshops, community meetings, radio
talk show, training and exchange visits.
294
Production of IEC materials; Through the engagement of the communities and stakeholders in the workshops, in
addition to awareness rising; issues that will come up on unsustainable use of the fragile ecosystems and solutions
provided for better use will guide the development of community user friendly manuals. In addition, it is important
that the some of the available legislation on Environment management is made simpler for the community and
other stakeholders to understand and interpret. This will also require the translation of the key legislation simplified
into the local languages. With the high levels of illiteracy and poor reading habits of the community, some talking
pictures (posters) will be produced to explain to the community the gist of the matter.
Catchment Based planning and valuation of the resources; This will require some degree of expertise which
can be got from the District and government institutions. Management planning will involve situation analysis,
visioning, setting objectives, strategy development and valuation. Through the situational analysis conflicts if any
will be looked at, gender analysis, stakeholder analysis DPSIR analysis and Identification of alternatives
technologies applicable to communities that are aimed at restoring the fragile ecosystems. In total economic
valuation will consider direct market valuation and indirect market valuation this will be evidence for sustainable
approaches in fragile ecosystems restoration campaign.
Implementing alternative IGAs and activities that restore the landscape; Kisor district is hilly with valley
bottoms that are water logged. Learning from traditional/indigenous knowledge soil and water conservation
measures such as terraces, contour bands and hedgerows will be put in place. In addition, IGAs such as tree
planting, beekeeping and tree nurseries will be promoted.
Monitoring and Evaluation; An M & E framework will be put in place to spell out required targets and the team
responsible which will be coordinated by the team leader. This will involve review meetings periodically and
reports would be discussed in the District Committee responsible for Environment and Production.

4. To attain orderly and sustainable urban and rural development in the district.
5. To ensure fair and equal distribution of social and infrastructure services in all parts of the district.
Back ground of the project.

Kisoro district is one of the district in Uganda which has a lot of town boards and trading centers
without physical development plans (structure and detailed plans).
This has resulted into the acceleration of un guided developments especially in the up coming
towns and trading centres of Bunagana, Chaninka, Nyanamo, Koranya, and Rubuguri town board.
This study report was carried out by physical planning office which forms a basis for preparation
of physical development plans for these areas which will be the guiding instrument for
development on the basis of which orderly developments is expected to proceed in the district
The Physical planning act 2010 was enacted to align physical planning with the contemporary
governance system, decentralize physical planning and related process such as environmental
management and many others.
The physical planning office will always provide technical guidance to developers in rural areas
in the planning area who may not afford the services of an architect.
Housing is a major issue in urban development and planning. This is because it places the highest
demand for land and it always forms a basis of life for urban communities. Therefore the nature
and quality of housing is not only an important planning variable but it offers a basis for the
required improvement for a decent life of urban dwellers.

To resettle and follow up OVC
Background:
In Kisoro the phenomenon of street children locally known as ‘Maibobo’ is a recent one. In the past years, approximately 5-9
cases were cited in Kisoro Town council. To-date the number of street children has alarmingly risen to above 40. Other up-
coming trading centres within the district are also experiencing the increasing number of idle and disorderly children who call
themselves ‘Maibobo’. The causes of this phenomenon include domestic violence, alcoholism, poverty, child neglect and
abandonment among others
The dangers of street/idle children however have started to be of public concern. They are being abused physically, sexually
and economically. On a number of occasions they have been sighted smoking ‘bangi, petrol sniffing, gambling, pilfering and
getting involved in all sorts of violence as well as involing in crime cases like thefty especially among the minority Batwa of
Mikingo community’. This poses a potential threat both to children themselves and to society hence a need to be addressed.
The project will involve sensitization of the public about the dangers of street children and training of selected people to handle
them. The identified children will also be trained in life skills for self-reliance and on improved coordination among the
organizations that offer rescue services to these children, conducting radio programs on the rights of children and the pubilicity
of the children’s free hotline of 116 known as Sauti.
Implementation of this project will be done in phases as follows:-

Identification and needs assessment.
Training the families and relatives.
Guidance and counseling of the children and their families/relatives.

Objective:
To increase adult literacy rate from the current 64.4% to 70% by 2016.
Background:
There are low literacy levels amongst adults (33%) especially among the rural women. There is community demand for
Functional adult literacy. There is widespread poverty due to lack of functional skills in the communities. The integrated

Objectives:

To resettle, guide and counsel the Batwa to appreciate themselves and get integrated into the community.
To promote Batwa participation in the government programs

Background:
Batwa Community constitutes 1-2% of the total population. The number is not increasing so much due to diseases
like HIV/AIDS and STDs, poverty, ignorance and un-conducive livelihood. They are relatively poor and hardly
own anything. They depend on begging for their livelihood, and are even squatters on the land that they cannot
exploit/put to use. They take the problem of social isolation, lack of basic needs and their existence contributes
nothing to the development of the district and county.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION.
The project will address Batwa concerns through:
Mobilization of community leaders, NGOs and (Batwa themselves).
Advocating for their resettlement and provision of other social services like education, medical care, housing, safe
water and sanitation, nutrition, among others

START DAT June 2015

Objectives:
To create awareness on Gender issues at all levels and to promote a gender and development approach that is based
on understanding of gender roles and social relations of men and women, which focuses on women specifically.
Background:
The program aims at creating awareness on the issues relating to gender especially the women concerns. By
mandate men are taken to be the initiators, owners and controllers of every productive property/asset resources in
society. Women on the other hand, while they are the producers using these factors/resources, have been
predominantly regarded as not playing any big role in the society and their efforts are not appreciated. Much as
women are the great producers of agricultural produces, they own no money after the sale of food produces na
dhave no powers in decision making except men. Furthermore women are excluded in the value chain under the
agricultural sector. Worse still women do not appreciate nor recognize themselves. Hence the need for this
programme to address the gender imbalances in the government sectors.
Sensitize the communities, local leaders on the issues/concerns of both men and women and how they affect
development.
Training the local leaders on the rights/legal rights of women including the property ownership right
Enhance women’s economic empowerment through entrepreneurship skills
Collect gender disaggregated in all the government programmes like YLP, FAL, CDD, PWD among others
Monitor gender responsivess in all government programs

Objectives:
To lobby and advocate for PWDs to gain assistance from willing and supportive agencies.
Background:
While PWDs constitute 6-8% of the total population, they relatively, own minimal assets. They are
highly marginalized and isolated in the society and denied their rights to own property. Hence the project
will uplift their social being and build their capacity to survive/improve on their livelihood. The number
continues to increase due to accidents, disease, poverty and ignorance of the community/society. Mutual
self-help groups to assist PWDs are still very few in the district.
Mobilizing the community/families to appreciate and support PWDs.

Lobbying and mobilizing the supportive donors and agencies.
Facilitating the PWDs to gain skills of managing their socio-economic affairs.
Assessment of PWDs to determine their abilities, potentials and challenges.
