Extractions: APFO began its operations in 1993 as a Working Group on the Sudan conflict under the umbrella of AACC. In 1994 APFO teamed up with the International Resource Group to host the Regional co-ordinating bureau in Nairobi. At that time it was therefore serving two functions, as the Sudan working Group and IRG Regional Coordinating Bureau . Its work was rapidly expanding to include both the Great Lakes and the Horn of Africa. This was an obvious expansion due to the conflict interlinkages in the region. APFO's mandate now includes Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Uganda, Sudan, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic party of Congo. To cater for this expanded area of operation APFO was temporarily hosted by the Center for African Study until 1999 when it was formally registered

The SCSA Zone V1 Cricket Confederation was born out of two schoolboy cricket tours, which took place between Namibia and Botswana in 1989 and 1990. The foundation fathers Steven Jones (Namibia Cricket Board) and Neill Armstrong (Botswana Cricket Association) established the Zone V1 Cricket Confederation with three main objects in mind: The inaugural meeting of Zone V1 Cricket Confederation was held in conjunction with the tournament which took place in Windhoek Namibia in September 1991 and was attended by Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana and as guests, Oxford University. Namibia won the tournament. An official constitution was settled for the confederation. It was also agreed that the general meeting and tournament would be held on an annual basis. Swaziland became the next host in September 1992, with Zambia, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana and Swaziland participating.

http://www.angelfire.com/ak/kkchrys/HISTORY.html

Extractions: BRIEF HISTORY OF NAMILYANGO COLLEGE Namilyango College, the oldest boarding secondary school in Uganda, was founded on 23rd March 1902 by the Mill Hill Fathers. The missionaries had come to Uganda in 1895 to help break down the mentality of many of the peasantry, that 'Protestantism is English and Catholicism is French.' Thus with this in mind, the Mill Hill Fathers of British origin wanted to demystify this erroneous picture. In March 1902, Bishop Hanlon, the first Mill Hill Bishop in Uganda, started what was later to become Namilyango College, with a two-fold purpose; To train Catechists needed for evangelisation; To educate sons of Chiefs . The aims and objectives of the school were summarised in the motto ' Education for Responsibility ' which was adopted to guide the students and teachers alike. Later, the motto ' NISI DOMINUS ' was adopted to give the students a sense of religious devotion, in line with the strong Catholic Foundation of the school. In what appeared to be a diversion from what was expected of a school or an institution with a strong Christian foundation, Bishop Hanlon emphasized the need and quest for a satisfactory system of free discipline. Bishop Hanlon emphasized that except during class hours, the boys would be without supervision, as that would positively contribute to the formation of their character. The school was aware that rigid supervision of the students' spare time activities would be detrimental to their character development. The school thus developed a liberal tradition at the very time of its inception, and 95 years later, the tradition has been maintained. And this tradition has, among other things, led to the establishment of the unique position of the school.

Extractions: THE EAST AFRICAN CO-OPERATION USHIRIKIANO WA AFRIKA MASHARIKI The East African Co-operation (EAC) is an inter-governmental organization with the mandate to promote regional integration and development among the Republics of Kenya, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. The three countries cover an area of 1.8 million square kilometers and have a population of about 80 million people who share a common history, language, culture and infrastructure. These provide the member states with a unique framework for regional co-operation and integration. Subsequent meetings of the three Heads of State led to the signing of the Agreement establishing the Permanent Tripartite Commission for East African Co-operation on November 30, 1993. Operations of the EAC started on March 14, 1996, following the launching of the Secretariat at its headquarters in Arusha, Tanzania. In order to consolidate regional co-operation, the current co-operation agreement is in the process of being upgraded into a Treaty. Through regional co-operation, EAC seeks to achieve the following objectives:

Extractions: CASE NUMBER: 209 CASE MNEMONIC: UGANDA CASE NAME: Uganda, Tourism and Environment I. INTRODUCTION 1. The Issue Since its establishment in 1990, the World Bank and United Nations-based Global Environmental Facility (GEF) has paid ever increasing attention to the development and conservation potentials of ecotourism. While previous projects did have some ecotourism components, the GEF set a precedent in early 1995 by funding a US$4 millon ecotourism project in Uganda, and by wrapping up negotiations for a similar project in Zimbabwe. The concept of "ecotourism" is new and rather ambiguous, however, and what are assumed will be net positive environmental and economic impacts have yet to be conclusively established. 2. Description Although estimates vary, the tourism industry is growing at an annual rate of four percent globally. Tourism is the world's fastest growing industry. The United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) estimates that by the turn of the century, revenues will reach US$3.2 trillion. According to the World Tourism Organization (which estimates that the world tourism industry is already worth US$3.4 trillion in 1995), most of the increase in tourism revenues will be attributable to the rise of ecotourism. Ecotourism is the fastest growing sector of the world's fastest growing industry, tourism. For many of the world's poorest countries, tourism is seen as a means of obtaining foreign exchange and of developing infrastructure. A country promoting low-impact, ecological tourism may be able to better avoid the adverse environmental effects of traditional tourism and from the sale of natural resources. Furthermore, since the sustainability of the ecotourism industry is dependent upon the preservation of environmental quality and biodiversity, it is felt that it can bolster conservation efforts. Ecotourism is appealing to tourists, environmentalists, businesses, and governments alike.

Extractions: a history of Transparency International TI chronology Putting corruption on the world agenda Throughout the period of the Cold War, the topic of corruption had been virtually taboo. Development agencies could not discuss it, international financial institutions closed their eyes to it, and the private sector saw it simply as an unpleasant but increasingly expensive way to get things done. The silence was deafening. Underpinning this sorry state of affairs was the conceit in the developed world that they were "more moral" than the rest: that others "did things differently" and it was "not for them to impose their standards on others". It was a comfortable way in which to defend the status quo. As late as the early 1990's this continued to be the case, and it was into this unpromising environment that Transparency International first saw the light of day. It was greeted by a cartoon in Spain depicting TI as a latter-day Don Quixote with its lance skewering a pile of documents Transparency International has its roots in the concern felt by a number of people throughout the developed and the developing worlds that the "grand corruption" practised by companies in exporting countries, as they "bought" politicians and officials in the developing world, was a threat to human rights, the environment and sustainable development, and that this could be ignored no longer. Mobilising against corruption was an idea whose time had come. The catalyst for action proved to be

Extractions: The question of democracy, as it relates to the right of people to decide who and how they ought to the governed, still remains one of the thorny issues in African politics. Of course, notwithstanding countries like Botswana, Senegal and South Africa who appear to be consolidating their democratic paths, most African states are still battling with this issue. The debates as to whether multi-party democracy is an ideal type of political system will surely be part and parcel of African discourse for some time to come. One of the countries in Africa that has been engaged in such a debate both at practical, theoretical and political levels is Uganda. About its no-party democratic system a number of questions are still debated. Is this system relevant? Is it a genuinely African political experiment?

Griggs, Independent Projects Trust, Durban (Dr. Griggs is Research Director for Independent Projects Trusta non-governmental organization in Durban, South Africa. Griggs is also coordinator for the Center for World Indigenous Studies Fourth World Atlas Project.) 1. The Structural Conditions of Conflict Structure refers to relatively immobile social, physical, or economic factors that either constrain or facilitate conflict and help shape the geostrategic responses and discursive practices of key actors. Three such factors in the present situation are: (1) irrational political boundaries; (2) land shortages and environmental stress; and (3) ethnically differentiated access to power and wealth. 1.1 Political Boundaries 1.2 Land Shortages Burundi and Rwanda could easily have the highest percentage of disturbed, overpopulated land in Africa. Discounting uninhabitable areas [e.g., 10% of Rwanda's 26,340 square kilometers is National Park], the population density within Rwanda and Burundi exceeds 400 persons per square kilometer. Land scarcity, soil exhaustion, and a limited food supply were problems already noted in pre-colonial times. Colonial policy then intensified this environmental and demographic stress by encouraging large scale coffee and tea plantations. Through various policies of taxation, the German and Belgian administrators destroyed subsistence farming and communal ownership to force most of the rural population into coffee production. Consequent land shortages decreased per capita food production.

http://www.nationaudio.com/News/EastAfrican/27032000/Features/PA4.html

Extractions: Monday, March 27, 2000 By DAVID KAIZA Tarsis Kabwegyere's book, People's Choice, People's Power, is the second after No-Party Democracy in Uganda to discuss the June, 2000 referendum. It also comes after Ali Mazrui and a number of other writers have said almost everything there is to say about the referendum. However, Kabwegyere's book differs from No Party democracy in Uganda in that it is uncompromising in its support for the movement system. In typical Movement style, the author, who is is a former university professor now working in the movement secretariat, blames the past leadership for Uganda's problems. Blaming the past has been a pre-occupation of Ugandans ever since the 1900 agreement which turned Uganda into a British colony. The country became a British protectorate in 1894 after the subjugation of five major kingdoms in what is now Uganda. Religious clashes has structured Uganda as a country with Protestants at the top, followed by Catholics and Muslims at the bottom. The use of Northerners in the army by the British also provides fodder for blaming the ethnic question in the army. The decisive shaper of the country's politics though, was the politics of the 1960s. Here was a decade when Ugandans could have gone the way of Kenyans and Tanzanians in shaping a national brotherhood. But there was Obote, Amin, the Kabaka of Buganda and the cold war and the mould collapsed.
Short History Of Uganda
A short history of uganda.
http://www.federo.com/Pages/History.htm

Extractions: Summary Introduction Uganda, as it is known today, is the creation of the colonialists at around 1894. They lumped different tribes together and by virtue of the day, called the emerging country Uganda. It has known only two forms of governments, namely quasi federal, and central governments. The central governments have been characterized mainly by dictatorships, and as such with corruption, human rights abuse, insecurity, poverty, abuse of office, etc. Federo was officially abandoned by Uganda in 1966, and the move was eloquently hailed by the learned as an escape from an obscurantist backwardness into a brilliant future of Pan Africanism and unity. The beliefs of that time are well documented in the "Uganda Argus" and the "People" of the late 1960s. The country was assured in those days that "correct" political philosophies were the key to everything. We know better now. Uganda has become very complex. That's why, after 35 years, we are revisiting the Federo question, especially because of its administrative, democratic and cultural convenience. Back to Top Traditional Governments Before the formation of Uganda, all major ethnic groups ruled themselves as Kingdoms or Chiefdoms. The famous Kingdoms include Ankole, Alur, Buganda, Bunyoro, Busoga, and Toro. The famous Chiefdoms include Acholi, Japadhola, and Teso. The tribes had nothing to do with each other. They were brought under a superstructure of political administration called the Uganda Protectorate Government. This however did not stop each tribe carrying out their own social development.

Extractions: In 1996, the regional delegation in Nairobi continued to act as a coordinating centre for specialized and support services for other ICRC operations in the region, particularly in Burundi, Rwanda, Somalia, the Sudan and Zaire. Throughout the year, specialists based in Nairobi offered other delegations their services in many fields: agricultural, veterinary and nutritional expertise, water supply and sanitation, tracing, logistics and airborne operations, supply and management of emergency stocks, administration of a regional technical workshop, means of transport, administrative support, assistance to staff, dissemination of humanitarian law to the armed forces and other bearers of weapons, relations with the media and promotion of the ICRC's activities in the neighbouring countries. Besides providing services for other delegations and engaging in long-term activities to promote knowledge of humanitarian law and cooperation with the National Societies of the region, the delegation was particularly concerned with the growing tension in northern Uganda and, to a lesser extent, the situation of Rwandan refugees in Tanzania, displaced persons in the Rift Valley in Kenya and detainees in Djibouti.
