Socio-economic outcomes for the beneficiaries of the Expanded Child Survival Initiative in UgandaOdongpiny, Ajok Florence 11 1900 (has links)
A quantitative study was conducted to determine the socio-economic outcomes for the beneficiaries of the Expanded Child Survival Initiative in Uganda. The population comprised of all orphans and vulnerable children who were trained under the Expanded Child Survival Initiative of which a sample of 102 respondents were included in the structured data collection process. The outcomes that were explored were employment, income, assets and family support to siblings and other dependants by the primary beneficiaries.
The findings show that the outcomes of the Expanded Child Survival Initiative were positive and benefited socio economic lives of the respondents and their family members. The majority of the respondents were using the skills obtained from the training and were employed. The employment provided a source of income and the income earned facilitates the respondents in providing the basic needs of the family members. They were able to provide adequately for most of their basic needs. The findings also show that the respondents had accumulated some assets.
A number of factors influenced the utilisation of the newly acquired skills including having tool kits, start-up capital and business management skills. It is recommended that training providers should provide start-up support to the apprentices in order to facilitate them to utilise the skills obtained from apprenticeship trainings. / Public Health / Thesis (M.A. (Public Health))

An analysis of HIV/AIDS policy development and implimentation at two Ugandan UniversitiesIraka, Timothy Atwine 06 1900 (has links)
Title on printed copy differs slightly from ETD. Title on printed copy: A critical analysis of HIV/AIDS policy development and implementation at selected Ugandan universities / The main objectives of the study were to analyse the process involved in HIV/AIDS
policy development and implementation at two selected universities in Uganda.
The rationale for the study was to describe the policy development process and to identify how such institutional policies can be planned, operationalised, monitored and evaluated.
The study used a qualitative approach which involved key informant interviews and
focus group discussions. The selected institutions were Makerere University Kampala
(MUK)and Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST).
The findings show that MUST have a comprehensive HIV/AIDS Institutional Policy (HIP)
which followed several stages during policy development. The basic stages identified
were policy formulation, policy adoption, policy implementation and policy evaluation.
The findings also show that MUST have a comprehensive implementation plan.
In contrast, MUK had no record of the HIV/AIDS institutional policy development
process. However, MUK had implemented the policy successfully through the
University Hospital and Gender Mainstreaming Division. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)

Delivery and utilisation of voluntary HIV counselling and testing services among fishing communities in UgandaMugisha, Emmanuel 11 1900 (has links)
The study explored, described and explained the current models of voluntary counselling and testing services delivery and analysed the extent to which a given VCT model had influenced uptake of VCT services in the fishing communities along the shores of Lake Victoria, in Wakiso District, with an aim of designing optimal VCT service delivery strategies. The study was therefore exploratory, descriptive and explanatory, and collected both qualitative and quantitative data in a three-phased approach. Phase I involved the Kasenyi fishing community respondents, while phases II and III involved VCT managers and VCT counsellors at the Entebbe and Kisubi Hospitals.
The findings indicated that VCT services are generally available onsite at health facilities, and in the field through mobile VCT outreach or home-based VCT services provided at clients’ homes. Both client-initiated and health provider-initiated VCT services are available and services are integrated with other health services. Despite the availability of VCT, only about half of the respondents in phase I had accessed VCT services although almost all indicated a willingness to undergo HIV testing in the near future. The main challenges to service delivery and utilisation included limited funding and staffing as well as limited awareness in target communities. The strategies drawn are based on the need to increase availability, accessibility, acceptability and utilisation of VCT services. / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Health Studies)
