HIV/AIDS Prevention in Uganda : a Success StoryHallin, Emma, Olsson, Johanna, Lundemo, Sofia January 2008 (has links)
<p>The purpose of this essay was to examine which marketing tools have contributed to Uganda’s accomplishments in the prevention of HIV and AIDS. We wanted to investigate whether or not marketing as a phenomenon actually can contribute to a better good, and how it is possible with non-profit marketing, where there are no goals of making financial profits, to reach out with proper knowledge to an entire population.</p><p>We chose to work within qualitative methods, and we have carried out our research by performing several open interviews with people who work with the difficulties of HIV/AIDS in Uganda. We also conducted a number of interviews with the citizens of Kampala, capital of Uganda, to get a different perspective of the marketing of HIV/AIDS.</p><p>Our theoretical framework consists of two main headlines, which are Marketing to Change Behaviours and Communication Tools. Under the first heading we discuss how it is possible to make people change certain behaviours, and what ways in carrying out the information will make people take action. Under the second headline, we explore the different tools that can be used to market a non-profit message for implementing behavioural change.</p><p>In the empirical data, we are presenting the voices of our interviewees, using the same two main headlines as in the theoretical framework. The discussion question if there has been any change in the behaviour regarding HIV and AIDS amongst the Ugandan population, and how to proceed to encourage behavioural change. The other central discussion concerns the tools used in the prevention of HIV/AIDS in Uganda, to be able to decrease the number of new infections.</p><p>In our analysis, we are discussing around the different marketing tools that have been used in the successful prevention against HIV and AIDS in Uganda and which have been more or less efficient. This discussion is completed in a conclusion, where we confine the main marketing tools that have been the key factors in the prevention information of HIV/AIDS. We are finally giving our recommendations about what tools we consider Uganda can implement to perform better in order for the disease to decrease even more.</p>

Colonial policy as a major variable force shaping political change in Africa: a case study of Uganda, 1905-1945Howe, Charles Henry Walter January 1961 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / The dissertation is a case study of the effect of colonial policy on political change in a dependent African territory--the Uganda Protectorate--from 1905 up to 1945.
It is developed within an analytical framework purposely designed for broader, comparative use. Five human societal forces are singled out as major variables affecting political change in a large part of Africa during most of the colonial era. They are: the traditional African political systems; the policies of the colonial powers; alien contact and influence; events and issues; and the social situation and social change. All of the variables, as they interacted in the Protectorate, are considered at one or more stages in the dissertation. But, carried out as a library research project in the United States, this work places the main emphasis on the second of the forces--colonial policy. [TRUNCATED]

A case study of Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary as a community driven Community-Based Natural Resource Management initiative : maintaining livelihoods and wetland healthGosling, Amanda Karen January 2012 (has links)
Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) is considered a win-win approach to reconcile conservation with natural resource use. CBNRM aims to accomplish conservation whilst prioritising development and contributing to poverty alleviation. This study analysed the different components of a CBNRM initiative, Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary (BWS), located in western Uganda. The study was carried out by interviewing the managing committee members (n= 8) as well as local households (n= 68) regarding the manner in which the project works, and the associated benefits and constraints. The main management issues recognised were a lack of monitoring and committee cohesiveness. The information gathered through the household survey enabled the calculation of the value of local livelihood options. This was done on the premise that conservation is better accepted when land users realise the economic value of natural resources. The average annual value of household livelihoods was represented by 30% crop production, 57% natural resource use, and 13% livestock. Lastly, wetland assessments were performed using the WET-Health and WET-EcoServices methodologies from the Wetland Management Series. These assessments indicated that the impacts of local livelihoods on the wetland were currently low but potential issues could arise with the increasing human population density. Ultimately, BWS presents both environmental and social costs and benefits. With a detailed and interdisciplinary method specific recommendations of improvement can be made to reduce such costs and further reconcile the conservation of Bigodi Wetland with local natural resource use..

The exploration of the impact of state ownership on Uganda's New Vision Newspaper's social roleWasswa, John Baptist January 2005 (has links)
The global trends of democratisation and privatisation that swept much of the developing world in the 1980s and 1990s led to significant changes in the conceptualisation, organisation and performance of the media. In Africa democratisation attained a new meaning with associated processes of liberalisation of broadcasting to end the monopoly of broadcasting by the state. The private media of the liberalised market is increasingly putting the public media system, both broadcast and print, under serious competition, and forcing them to adjust to changing circumstances. The New Vision newspaper in Uganda is one such public service media organisations that are owned by the state and yet have to compete in the new more democratic and liberalised environment. This study set out to explore the extent to which state-ownership impacts on The New Vision’s social role. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods of date collection, I have established the that although The New Vision is a public service medium for which government remains the major source of news, it does not in most cases give the state more or preferentially prominent coverage at the expense of other interest groups in society. On contrary, basing of the amount of coverage of civil society I established that The New Vision enabled the various groups public sphere to interact. The newspaper to an extent also plays the democratic role of monitoring government although there was little evidence of monitoring of corporate abuse. The nature of The New Vision Statute, and the global trends that have changed the conduct of official and private business, have rendered the theories on the 1980s’ development media theories increasingly inapplicable, forcing The New Vision to develop its own version of development journalism that is socially relevant. The study recommends that whereas much of The New Vision Statute is progressive, sections of it should be removed to protect the newspaper from being manipulated by government functionaries, if the it is to continue enabling the public sphere. The newspaper should also increase its monitoring of corporate abuse, and make internal reforms to improve the coverage of development related issues.

Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: Este estudo foi motivado pelo interesse em entender melhor os fatores que constrangem o crescimento da exportação e limitam os resultados sociais da liberalização do comércio como o emprego. A Indústria de flores foi usada como estudo de caso e os objetivos específicos do estudo eram analisar as restrições a oportunidades de acesso ao Mercado sob os APE e em que medida as instituições do mercado de trabalho em Uganda podem facilitar o alcance a benefícios sociais sob os APE por meio da agenda de trabalho decente. A idéia por trás dos acordos de livre comércio como os APE é que comércio mais livre expande as oportunidades e benefícios igualmente para todos os parceiros da negociação. O estudo, no entanto, descobre que ao lado disso, devido à restrição de suprimentos, como a infra-estrutura pública pobre, tarifas de eletricidade sempre em ascensão, altos preços de fretes, bem como dificuldades de acesso a financiamentos de longo prazo, Uganda não é capaz de tirar vantagem plena dos benefícios comerciais gerados pelo acesso ao livre mercado. Construindo sobre idéias Keynesianas, que vinculam emprego à produção, o estudo conclui que o aspecto dos constrangimentos de suprimentos também afeta o emprego na medida em que mina a produção. Enquanto o nível de emprego é uma questão do Mercado produtivo, as questões de bem-estar social como o trabalho decente só o mercado de trabalho e, por essa razão, instituições do mercado de trabalho também foram analisadas. O estudo conclui que, como parte da agenda neoliberal de desregulação, o governo de Uganda frustrou, deliberadamente, a implementação de leis de trabalho. A falha em implementar leis como o salário mínimo facilita uma apropriação desequilibrada dos benefícios do comércio. Por exemplo, ainda que o valor das exportações de flores tenha aumentado mais de 200 por cento nos últimos 10 anos, os salários permaneceram estagnados. / Abstract: This study was motivated by an interest to understand better the factors that constrain export growth and limit the social outcomes of trade liberalization like
employment. The flower industry was used as a case study and the specific objectives of the study were to examine the constraints to market access opportunities under EPA and the extent to which labour market institutions in Uganda can facilitate the achievement of social welfare benefits under EPA through the decent work agenda. The underlying idea behind free trade agreements like EPA is that freer trade expands opportunities and benefits all trading partners equally. The study however finds that because of supply side rigidities like poor public infrastructure, ever rising electricity tariffs, high freight charges as well problems of accessing long term funding; Uganda is not able to take full advantage of trade benefits created by free market access. Building on Keynesian ideas that link employment to production, the study concludes that supply side constraints also affect employment in as far they undermine production. While the level of employment is a product market issue, social welfare
issues like decent work are labour market and for that reason labour market institutions were also examined. The study concludes that as part of the neoliberal agenda of deregulation, the government of Uganda has deliberately frustrated the implementation of labour laws. Failure to implement laws like the minimum wage facilitates unequal appropriation of the benefits of trade. For example whereas the value of flower exports has increased by over 200 percent in the last 10 years, wages have remained stagnant. / Mestrado / Economia Social e do Trabalho / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico

A lost generation? Kony, conflict, and the cultural impacts in northern UgandaWestfall, David W. January 1900 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work / Gerad D. Middendorf / For over two decades the people of northern Uganda endured horrific atrocities during Africa’s forgotten war in the form of attacks and child abductions by the Lord’s Resistance Army, animal rustling by neighboring ethnic groups, and internal displacement of an unimaginable 90 percent of the northern parts of the country. With the majority of internally displaced persons spending over a decade in IDP camps, an entire generation of Acholi was socialized and acculturated in a non-traditional environment. A decade after the last LRA attack, I ask, what are the cultural impacts of the conflict and how has the culture recovered from the trauma. Using ethnographic analysis, this dissertation is rooted in over 150 interviews. While it has been presented to the world at large that Joseph Kony’s LRA is the one of the biggest problems facing the region, I found it is not the case. Interviewees discussed serious inadequacies in education, land conflict, culture loss, climate change, drought, famine, a perceived generational divide, and a strong distrust of the Ugandan government. Additionally this research examines the case of Uganda through the lens of, and attempts to build upon, Jeffrey Alexander’s cultural trauma process. I argue the increasing reach and instantaneous nature of social media can interact with, alter, and prolong the trauma process. The externalization of defining a problem and solutions for that problem while the trauma process is occurring, or shortly after the trauma has subsided, can lead to retraumatization.
