The vision of Rukungiri Municipal Council that connects to the overall Council’s desired
direction is “A Healthy and Wealthy Urban Population in a Secure Environment”.

Coordinated delivery of Services, focusing on National priorities and Significant Local
Needs in order to promote Sustainable Development of Rukungiri Municipality” all these
embraces the theme “coordinated quality service delivery for sustainable urban

In order to achieve the vision, the Council focuses on strengthening planning as one of
the main priority areas. The process of developing this plan involved extensive

All these constrain the set strategic objectives and thus affecting service delivery.

In the coming five financial years, the following are the priority interventions; increase

The above mentioned resources may not be enough and the Council appeals to all the
Development partners and others stakeholders to support the effective implementation of
the plan in order to improve the standards of living of people of Rukungiri Municipal
Council in particular and the entire District in general.

Rukungiri Municipality as a fast growing Urban Council has the following development
challenges; low local revenue which is attributed to general poverty in the society, poor
road network that would facilitate development if proposed and surveyed roads are
opened, low productivity of the population since most of the entrepreneurs are involved
in micro enterprises with inadequate business skills and finally most people are not
developmental in nature hence not participating in development programmes.

POPULATION PROGRAM CHALLENGES AND CONSTRAINTS

1. Insufficient funds to population priorities in the Municipality that is planning

section. This has made it difficult for the Planning unit to carry out important
activities like population awareness campaigns in the field and on radio, birth and
death registration, coordination and monitoring population activities in the
Municipality.

2. There is no Transport /vehicle to facilitate the implementation, coordination and

monitoring of population programs.

Health related NGOs have contributed a lot in supplementing Government efforts to
fighting mortality and mobility especially in combating malaria and HIV/AIDS in
Rukungiri Credit goes to Nyakibale Hospital (Kabale Diocese) Kisiizi Hospital (North
Kigezi Diocese), TASO and RUGADA in providing both care, support and treatment of
HIV/AIDS and Malaria in the municipality.

In the area of orphans and vulnerable children, the efforts of NGOs and FBOs cannot be
under established NGOs like Compassion International in partnership with local
churches is supporting OVCs by paying school fees and offering social support to over
500 pupils/students in the Municipality in both Primary and Secondary schools.

Rukungiri Municipality is grateful to the SACCOs that have come up in the Municipality
and are offering credit to the population especially RUDECs, NYADESA, and MDIs like
PRIDE to mention a few.

The Municipality is grateful to CBOs/NGOs operating in Rukungiri Municipality and

their efforts in supplementing Government efforts and in serving communities. However,
as seen above, there are few NGOs, FBOs and CBOs in the Municipality. The
Municipality calls upon other development partners to work and collaborate with
Rukungiri Municipal Council in order to achieve the vision and mission.

1.11 THE PLANNING PROCESS

The planning process was based on the bottom up planning approach in a participatory
and consultative manner. During the process there was identification of needs that started
from the grassroots to the Municipality and at each level, plans were made. The whole
planning process was followed as shown below;

23
Dissemination of policy planning guidelines; Dissemination of the necessary
information related to planning to the lower councils and to all lower local governments
was done in September 2015. Sharing of ideas, lessons learnt and feedback on National
Assessment Results was also done. The Council further facilitated village/wards on the
new planning guidelines that emphasize the vision based approach to decision making.

Consultative meetings at lower councils and lower Local governments; The

Beneficiaries/communities identified their needs, during which a situation analysis of
their areas was done and priorities set from villages up to ward level. Making of parish
investment plans, Submissions of village action plans and parish plans were made that
were integrated to come up with Council’s investment plans.

Review and Integration of Ward and sectoral plans into the Development Plan; The
Technical Planning Committee reviewed ward investment plans along with sectoral
committees’ proposals, for integration and inclusion in the Council’s Development Plan.
These were consolidated and submitted to the Council Executive Committee for
consideration. The Technical Planning Committee formulated the plan and prepared
investment profiles and work plans.

Preparation of Draft Development Plan and Council’s approval; The preparation of

the Draft Development Plan involved setting objectives, planning activities, target
outputs and inputs required among others. The Council Executive Committee considered
the plan which was finally presented to council that discussed and approved the plan in
relation to the Budget estimates. After the council’s approval, the plan was edited and
copies circulated to stakeholders for implementation.

1.11.1 How the Plan Was Developed

The Development Plan articulates the development priorities of the people within and out
Rukungiri Municipality. The preparation of the development plan was undertaken
through a bottom up consultative process with stake holders.

Preparatory processes. The planning process started in July 2014 with the situation
analysis which included feedback to lower local governments and an assessment of the
24
current situation in the district. An assessment of the performance under different sectors
was undertaken using the routine mentoring and evaluation reports and Feedback visits to
LLGs. The LLGs were mentored and prepared for the new planning cycle. They were
also engaged in actual discussions about strategic planning and development issues.

1.11.2 Strategic Planning

Performance review of the previous development plan, this covered achievements made
in relation to national and local departmental targets. Project proposal from sectors and
wards were appraised and reviewed by the council executive committee. The proposals
were compiled and presented at the budget conference for FY 2015/16

1.11.3 Consolidating the Development Plan

All the department submissions and division proposals were integrated into the draft
development plan.

1.11.4 Details of the Planning Process: Rukungiri Municipal Council fully embraces the
Policy of Decentralization as mandated by the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda,
1995 under Article 196 and the Local Government Act (Cap 243).
The Rukungiri Municipal Council Local Government considers Decentralization as a
powerful cornerstone in its efforts to implement the Development Plan in line with the
framework of Government Poverty Action Plan (PEAP) and the second Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs).
The Rukungiri Municipal Council reviews and rolls over its Development Plan every
year. The main aim is at achieving the Council Development Goals.

The main steps undertaken in producing this Development Plan include among others the
following; The Council had opportunity to take stock of the major achievements
registered during the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 financial years, constraints that were
encountered during the implementation of programmes and lessons learned.

The Council reflected further on its strategic development framework in terms of its
adequacy in responding to the development challenges and aspirations of the people and

25
 finally the Council set new targets for the future (next five years)in a participatory
manner including all the Stakeholders namely all the Divisions/Wards, Non
Governmental Organisations and Civil Society organizations who had representations
during the Budget Conference for FY 2015/16

Rukungiri Municipal Council has come up with a truly integrated and harmonized Plan
which does not only take care of sectoral linkages and bottom up priorities and needs but
must be consistent with the national priority programmes, policies and standards. The
problems that the council is tackling are all poverty related.

Besides the outcome, the process has also been more rigorous. During this year planning
process, the proposed interventions by different sectors were appraised and screened
using a set of nine criteria namely; Consistency with the district strategic and
intermediate objectives, Technical feasibility, Availability of funds (especially for the
first year), Number of people benefiting, Development of local potential, Sustainability
considerations including provisions for recurrent costs, Environmental considerations,
Gender responsiveness and Political acceptability. The appraisal aimed at screening and
prioritizing investment proposals.

1.12 MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES:

Rukungiri Municipality has a potential to grow and reduce the current high levels of
poverty among the population. However a number of problems and challenges still pause
a big threat to expected growth potential for development.

Over reliance on women labour for agricultural productivity mainly as a result of

excessive drinking by men, has resulted into very low production, which also impact on
the levels of income at household level. This is further compounded by lack of work
ethic and poor saving culture among the population hence perpetuating poverty.

Another challenge facing the Municipality is limited Local Revenues both at the Lower
Local Governments and the Municipal Council levels. This is caused by low tax base,
low production and productivity, a big number of defaulting tax payers, thus constraining
service delivery.
27
The Municipality also faces the challenge of environmental degradation, land
fragmentation high population densities thus leading to low production. As a result, the
feeding habits have deteriorated; morbidity remains high leading to poor academic
performance in schools in addition to high illiteracy levels already existing. This stifles
the positive trends out of poverty.

Low and declining participation of parents in the management of primary schools.

Consequently parent contribution towards upkeep, maintenance of school facilities and
teachers and provision of welfare remains low leading to low performance of schools.

Inadequate transport means affects effective supervision of works both on roads,

buildings and other projects consequently; achieving value for money from contracted
works may be hampered. In addition, use of personal vehicles has a very high
maintenance cost thus affecting efficiency and effective service delivery.

1.12.2 STRATEGIES TO EXPLOIT THE OPPORTUNITIES AND ADDRESS

THE CHALLENGES:

To overcome the above problems and challenges, appropriate strategies geared towards
poverty eradication either directly by increasing the incomes of the poor or by increasing
the ability of the poor to raise their incomes/enhance the quality of life of the poor,
enhance good governance and cause economic growth have been designed as mentioned
below.

Transformation from a subsistence economy to a modern economy for economic growth.

Poverty eradication will be achieved through modernization of Agriculture and creation
of employment for the population especially the youth who are majority. The poor
people in our communities must actively participate in realizing development. In order to
reduce income inequalities among the communities, the poor must maximize their
participation in economic activities through mobilization and sensitization.

Participation of the grassroots communities and NGOs/CBOs in income generating

activities in order to eradicate poverty. The existing development partners i.e the
NGOs/CBOs should actively engage in activities that will raise the incomes of the
communities in which they operate.

Formulation and policy implementation by councils and ensuring good governance and
accountability at all levels of governments. This will lead to effective and honest public
service delivery.
28
Enhance bottom-up planning, monitoring and mentoring lower councils. This will lead to
more realistic plans that enhance ownership of the programs thus strengthening
sustainability and value for money.

1.13 MENTORING
Rukungiri Municipal Council has mentored the LLG/Division staff in mainstreaming
environmental issues, HIV/AIDS and poverty. Mentoring has also been done in planning
and financial management. The issues above have been incorporated in the Capacity
Building Plan.

1.14 ENERGY FOR RURAL TRANSFORMATION.

Energy plays an important role in the Socio-economic development of the Municipality.
Thus there is need to analyze our role in energy planning and how it can be incorporated
in our development plans. Energy forms an integral part of the Municipal programme in
transforming the communities and poverty eradication, and thus there can be
improvement in the productivity of goods and services as well as improvement in the
quality of life.

There are various sources of energy in the Municipality which include among others
Biomass, e.g. wood, animal dung and charcoal, Fossil fuels which include diesel, petrol,
kerosene, and solar energy.

The possible energy services should be promoted in the Municipality for poverty
reduction and promote projects that utilize energy for productive uses e.g. Agro-
processing, development of fuel wood plantations and promotion of energy saving
Techniques (improved cook stoves).
Fuel wood is the commonest source of energy especially for cooking and it is
increasingly being depleted.

There are quite a number of business opportunities in the energy sector that can be
ventured into for Social-economic development including public private partnerships;
development of the potential water falls in the Municipality
Development of the various energy sources will speed up development through boasting
of business e.g. metal fabrication, grain milling and coffee hulling, food processing, milk
cooking, development of ICT, creation of employment, value addition to agricultural
products, improving service delivery in Health centers and improving communications.

wide.
STRATEGIES FOR UNLOCKING THE MOST BINDING CONSTRAINTS

There will be sensitization on the need for men to increase their participation in
Agricultural production. On inadequate funding, the Government shall be urged to
increase funding for local Government activities.

The community shall be sensitized to appreciate the importance of their participation in

programmes, and not necessarily for pay.

There will be increased health education, treatment and control of communicable and
non-communicable diseases.
There will be strict implementation of Municipal Council maintenance Policy

Rukungiri Municipal Council has a potential to grow and reduce the current high levels
of poverty among the population. However a number of constraints still pause a big threat
to expected growth potential for development.

Over reliance on women labor for agricultural production mainly as a result of excessive
drinking by men, has resulted into very low production, which also impact on the levels
of income at household level. This is further compounded by lack of work ethic and poor
saving culture among the population hence perpetuating poverty.

Another constraint facing the Municipality is limited Local Revenues both at the Lower
Local Governments and the municipal Council levels. This is caused by low tax base,
low production and productivity, inadequate markets for the commodities produced, thus
constraining service delivery.

The Municipality relies up to over 95% funding from the Central Government. Over
time, central Government has continued to reduce the amount of funds granted to the
local Government, which affects the effectiveness of operations.

There is commercialization of activities that would otherwise be community based, such

as members of the community demanding for allowances in respect of attending
meetings.

Morbidity remains high leading to poor academic performance in schools in addition to

high illiteracy levels. This stifles the positive trends out of poverty.

POLICY ON OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE IN THE MUNICIPALITY

In a bid to achieve all the set goals and strategic objectives by Rukungiri Municipal
Council, the Council is hereby committed to maintain, sustain and implement the projects
made for this FY 2015/2016; It is from this that the Council has an operation and
maintenance policy for public investments here stated in this 5-year development plan
(2015/16 – 2019/20).

and ensures their sustainability and continued service to the community.

On behalf of Rukungiri Municipal Council, We guarantee that Council staff will work
hand in hand for effectiveness and efficient coordination of service delivery so as to
promote socio-economic development of Rukungiri Municipality which in turn will
simultaneously bring Health and Wealth for the Urban Population in the Secure
Environment.

EDUCATION AND SPORTS:
Objective: Improve access and quality of education services in the Municipality.

Strategy: I Mobilization and sensitization of stake holders.

Background: The intervention of various stakeholders in primary education has been
minimal especially with the introduction of UPE. The project therefore
aims at bridging the gap that has hither to exist between schools and
stakeholders in the provision of education.

Interventions: - Dissemination of inspection findings to stake holder.

-Mobilization and sensitization of stakeholders
- Conducting workshops and seminars for school management
committees, PTA and teachers.
-Debriefing of teachers and head teachers.

Strategy II Routine school inspection and support supervision

Background At the moment there are 15 governments headed primary schools and 16
private one.
The Total enrolment in Government schools stands at 5312 with a
teaching force of 201. Apparently supervision at school level has been
more effective in private schools than in Government primary schools and
hence the correlation between the two in performance. The initiative will
therefore address the issues that affect the quality of education.

Interventions: - Development of school inspections work plans.

- Executions of school inspection and support supervision
- Mentoring of head teachers and teachers
- Dissemination of school inspection findings
- Conducting continuous professional development courses (CPDC)

Strategy: III Assessment and Evaluation of provision of primary education

Background: In many cases schools lag behind in curriculum implementation or do not
cover the curriculum exhaustively. There is need for regular check on
effectiveness or curriculum implementation in schools by administering
conditioning tests and examinations that are centrally seen and marked in
order to evaluate the performance in schools.

49
Interventions: - Setting evaluation tests.
- Administering of tests and examinations
- Marking and grading of tests and examination.
- Dissemination of results
-Training examiners
- Conducting seminars and workshops for examiners and teachers .

Strategy IV: Procurement of scholastic materials.

Background: The Ministry of Education is undertaking reforms to improve literacy and

numeracy in lower primary schools. This has increased the need for
supplementary reading materials.

Interventions: Identifying relevant instructional material (IMS)

- Identifying local official suppliers
- Issuing of LPOs
- Verifying deliveries of materials to schools
- Creating awareness on use and care of instructional materials
- Monitoring use and care of materials.

Strategy V: Improving equity in provision of primary education

Background Despite high enrolment at the beginning of primary education the retention
and completion of the girl child and children with special needs has been
challenged by various circumstances. The project therefore aims at
improving conditions for education of girl and children with special needs.

Interventions: Sensitization of communities on girl child education and children with

special needs. Build capacity for provision of special needs and inclusive
education in schools.
- Improve infrastructure at school level to cater for girl child and children
with special needs.
- Provide guidance and counseling services to the girl child and SNE
children.
- Assessment and placement of pupils with learning impairments.

Objective 2: Improve infrastructure and learning environment and sanitation at

schools
Strategy I: Construction of classrooms at schools and provision of furniture.

50
Background: Many schools in the Municipality cannot accommodate all pupils in the
classrooms and others cannot provide enough furniture for all pupils. In
almost all the schools, sanitary facilities are demanding, this situation
impinges negatively on the provision of quality education. The project
therefore aims at addressing the existing situation.

Interventions: - Identifying beneficiary schools.

- Procurement of service providers
- Construction of classrooms and pit latrines
- Supervision of constructions and furniture making.
- Witnessing delivery of materials to schools

- Sensitizing schools on operation and maintenance of facilities.

Strategy II Construction of teachers houses at schools

Background: There are 15 government aided primary schools and 201 teachers in the
Municipality. If every teacher was to be accommodated at school the
number of houses would be 201 against 30 that are in existence. This
means only 15% of the teachers are currently accommodated at schools.
Lack of accommodation at schools causes teachers to provide irregular
service as they commute to and from schools. The teachers who hire
accommodation have found it difficult due to prevailing rising costs. They
therefore need to consider construction of teacher’s houses at schools to
address the situation.

Interventions: Identifying needy schools

- Procurement of service providers
- Construction of houses
- Supervision of works
- Sensitizing communities on operation and maintenance of facilities.

Strategy II: Procurement and installations of lighting arrestors at schools

Background: Many places in the Municipality are prone to lightning and thunderbolts
and on several occasions; teachers and pupils have fallen victims. There is
therefore a need to protect lives and property against thunderbolts at
schools.

51
Interventions: Identifying needy schools
-Procurement of services
- Witnessing deliveries and installations
- Supervision of works
- Sensitizing schools on maintenance of installation.

Strategy III: Development and establishment of public library/ resource Centre.

Background: The existing teachers’ resource Centre was for the entire Rukungiri
District and especially to cater for secondary schools in the fields of
science and language. The general public and teachers have no access to
any form of library and resource Centre. Lack of such a facility downturns
the quality education in away. It is therefore necessary to provide such a
facility in order to enhance the quality of provision of education.

Interventions: - Creating public awareness

- Mobilizing resources
- Procurement of reading material.

Objective 3: Promotion of co-curricular activities in the schools

Background: At the moment co-curricular activities namely, games and sports, music,
dance and drama are neglected in schools. The only appear on school
timetables to occupy space or as a prerequisite by the curriculum design. It
is therefore necessary to revamp and revitalize these activities as they are
essential component in the process of leaving.

Interventions: - Sensitization of stakeholders on the relevancy of co-curricular activities

- Induction courses for music and games teachers
- Procurement of relevant equipment
- Organizing competitions and festivals
- Awarding certificate prizes and trophies.

CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES

2.4: POVERTY ANALYSIS

2.4.1 Definition of Poverty:

The definition of Poverty embraces various aspects of the failure to defray the costs of a genuine
human life, hunger, sub-standard housing, disease, inability to participate freely in the life of the
community because of the accumulated burden of handicaps, exploitations/humiliations,
abandonment of any ideas of a future, inability to build a future and inability to build the future
generally.

In order to address poverty effectively, it is important to understand the nature and extent of the
problem that affects the livelihood of the population.

58
This section presents and characterizes the key development challenges and poverty issues, their
causes and effects from the Municipal point of view. They are derived from the numerous studies
conducted by the Municipal Council in collaboration with UBOS and other agencies. It is also
derived from the numerous other reports available in the registry.

2.4.2. Indicators of Poverty in the Municipality and actual problems that are leading people into
poverty.
- Poor housing/accommodation
- Food insecurity - Early marriage
- Dependency - Low life expectancy
- Poor hygiene and sanitation

The general poverty situation in the Municipality is not empirically defined but some indicators show
that high levels of poverty still persist. This affects the level of community contribution to the
development process in the entire setting. However, there are diverging levels of poverty from
Division to Division, ward to ward and village to village.

2.4.3 Basic Characteristics of the poor in Rukungiri Municipality.

 Have insufficient basic items such as food, shelter, technical and business skills.
 Indulge in excessive Alcohol Consumption
 Lack of basic hygiene facilities
 Do not practice family planning methods
 Have no savings and usually default paying taxes
 Have high incidence of communicable diseases.
 High rate of moral degeneration
 High rate of school drop outs especially the youth.

2.4.4 Geographical poverty pockets and categories of poverty affected groups.

High poverty pockets are evident in the Division of Eastern and Southern in the extreme ends of the
Divisions. The most vulnerable poor include: widows, vulnerable children, PDWs and HIV/AIDS
affected households.

The causes of poverty in the Municipality include diseases especially malaria and HIV/AIDS, Land
shortage, exhausted soils which cause dwindling yields year after year.

Basing on the selected indicators of poverty in the Municipality, it is clear that the most affected areas
and groups exist in the poverty pockets below in the table.

Strategies to Address Poverty

Though poverty is still rampant in the poverty pockets, elsewhere in the Municipality there is an
indication of a positive change out of poverty as a result of different strategic interventions put in
place.

 This is manifested by rapid growth of different centres like Kagashe, Marumba and many
others in the country side whose number of buildings, shops, bars and agriculture processing
plants have increased.
 Social services in the Municipality have improved through a number of projects i.e. water and
sanitation facilities, health centres, TASO, NAADS and Compassion activities. Functional
Adult Literacy has increased the level of literacy among the population. Primary Health Care
services.
 Agricultural production has increased in the peri-urban areas. Improved crop varieties like
Bananas, Cassava, Fruits, Sweet potatoes, Vegetables are being grown. Livestock husbandry
has improved through increased pigs, introduction of new breeds of poultry and goats through
NAADS funded activities.

 Mainstreaming of cross-cutting issues of gender, environment and HIV/AIDS in all the

developmental processes will go a long way in alleviating poverty in the Municipality.

2.5 GENDER ANALYSIS

The 1997 National Gender Policy recognizes Gender as a development concept and also recognizes
that for a sustainable development, it necessitates maximum and equal participation of both gender
(males and females) in economic, political, civil and social-cultural development.
In Rukungiri Municipality, workload, access to and control of resources is still twisted in favour of
men. Much as Women do bulk of work, men still control most of the fruits of production.

64
2.5.1 Household/Production Division of Labour
Data was collected from households of all wards looking at prominent Prevailing Areas: Production,
Consumption and Management aiming at knowing males and female’s participation in provision of
labour in production, cooperation in household care/home activities. Six major crops grown in
Rukungiri Municipality were considered. The findings are presented in the table below:

Key to the abbreviation; F – Female, M – Men

It is only in respect of coffee that more men than women participated in planting, weeding &
harvesting. For the rest of the crops more women than men participated. When it came to selling;
more men than women participated in respect of two crops which bring in the biggest income i.e.
bananas and coffee.

2.5.2 GENDER ANALYSIS IN TERMS OF RESOURCES ACCESS, CONTROL AND

OWNERSHIP

The data below was collected from 50 household in different villages of Rukungiri Municipality
during the period early – mid June 2014

65
Table 21: Gender Resources Access, Control and Ownership.

Land 49 33 46 25 48 10

Radio 43 42 42 27 45 10

As presented in the above table; men have more access to land and livestock than women, men and
women have equal access to radio. More men than women have more control over land, livestock and
radio. More men than women own land, livestock and radio. More men than women own the strategic
assets of land, livestock, and radio (Information). Fortunately, as seen from table 6 above, men and
women have almost equal access to radio thus Radio should therefore be used as a strategy to
sensitize the community that both men and women should strive to own the strategic assets of land,
livestock and radio so that they can invest, produce and make money and become equal partners in
the development of Rukungiri Municipal Council in particular, Rukungiri District in general and
Uganda as whole.

2.6. HIV/AIDS ANALYSIS

HIV/AIDS is one of the top causes of morbidity and mortality in the Municipality thus impacting on
the poverty levels. The number of orphans, widows and widowers has increased because of
HIV/AIDS. The amount of time lost during funerals, looking after the terminally sick, expenditure
on medication etc. lead to an increase in the number of people becoming poor in the Municipality.

Potential for reducing the risk of HIV/AIDS

 Scaling up of HCT services to HCs II.

 Health workers trained in HCT and PMTCT.

 Global fund and UAC support to HIV/AIDS activities in the municipality.

 Scaling up ART services to lower government Health centres.

68
  Committed NGOs, CBOs and FBOs in the Municipality.

 Mainstreamed HIV/AIDS activities.

 Implementation of HIV/AIDS Policy at work place.

2.6.1 Drivers of the HIV/AIDS Pandemic.

1. Individual behaviors influencing risk of HIV transmission.
2. Discordance with partner.
3. Changing role of the family, cultural obligations and practices, age at fast marriage. Age
difference with partner.
4. Medical and biological factors associated with transmission risk.
5. Human Trauma Virus (HTV) STI, Ulcers.
6. Immorality associated with specific categories of people like Boda boda riders, heavy truck
drivers and operators Bar attendants and sex workers.
7. Nutrition – food insecurity.

2.6.3 Challenges facing the delivery of HIV/AIDS services in Rukungiri Municipality include
the following:
 The increasing number of orphans.
 Limited HIV/AIDS testing kits.
 Laboratory facilities not well established and facilitated
 Limited access to ant-retroviral drugs.
 Stigma amongst victims
 Increasing number of rape and defilement
 Most women are not yet empowered to say “NO” to unprotected sex
 Treatment of opportunistic infections is expensive
 Condom distribution channels not convenient for certain groups especially youths.
 Under funding.
 ARV, HCT, PMTCT Coverage still low.
 Inadequate transport.
 Poor male involvement.
 Low TB case detection rate and CB-dots coverage.
 Orphan care inadequate.

71
Recommendations:
 Improve funding.
 Expanding of ART, HCT and PMTCT coverage.
 Community mobilization.
 More support for orphans.
 Transport for DHAC.

2.7 FAMILY PLANNING ANALYSIS

Currently the coverage of family planning among women of reproductive age is estimated at 32%
(contraceptive prevalence rate) for the whole Municipality. According to the community survey by
Dr. Mugwanya 20013, factors affecting family planning are education status, religion and tribe. The
most preferred method of family planning is injectable Depo provera.

2.7.1 Challenges in family planning

1. There is low male involvement in family planning and some men are opposed to family
planning practice by their spouses.

2. There are frequent stock outs of family planning methods in the health facilities especially the
injectable methods which is the most preferred methods.

3. Some health facilities belong to religious denominations that are opposed to modern family
planning methods which limit access to these services to the communities.

2.7.2 Strategies to address family planning issues

Health education has been ongoing to encourage the population to take up family planning and also to
counter the negative beliefs and attitudes towards family planning. Health workers have continuously
been trained and updated on family planning.

72
2.7.3 Stake holders of family planning

The key stakeholders in family planning in the district are Government through the network of
government health centres, the private not for profit health facilities under the churches, community
based organizations, the private sector through private clinics, drug shops and private maternity
centres.

2.8 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

In order to achieve sustainable development in the Municipality, environmental issues are put into
consideration during the planning process and project design stages. The quality of the environment
and Natural Resources on which the population in the Municipality depend is getting depleted thus
negatively impacts on their livelihoods and increases the level of poverty. Sound and air pollution,
poor garbage disposal and water erosion pertinent issues regards environment and below is a matrix
showing environmental issues/concerns in the Municipality. It deals with environment opportunities
available in the Municipality, the challenges and constraints and give a suggestion to the strategies
that can deliver environmental sustainability.

2.8.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

This section deals with an analysis of the environment and integration of Municipal environment
action plans. It also deals with the environment opportunities available in the Municipal, the
challenges and constraints, and gives a suggestion to strategies that can deliver environmental
sustainability.

2.8.2 Environmental opportunities
The use of Kataruka wetland since there is a natural made lake which can be developed as a
recreational site as well as a ramzar site.

2.8.3 Environmental challenges / constraints

 There is still poor and inadequate funding for environment management activities
 Development of an environmental action plan for municipal council.
 Practical demarcation of wetland boundaries
 Community sensitization, involvement and awareness on environmental management.
 Increased address of environmental policies and laws to communities and creation or
formulation of bye laws.
 There is population increase hence increased pressure on environmental resources
 Some resources such as wetlands seem to belong to everybody or nobody thus rendering them
prone to over exploitation.
 Some community individuals are still adamant and pay no respect to natural resources
 Conservationists are still envisaged by communities as saboteurs and anti-development
especially when they are ensuring environmental compliance
 High demand and ready market for these resources such as the demand for mud fish as a bait
in major fishing areas makes it hard to control mud fish exploitation
 Lower local governments still seem not to appreciate that they have full responsibility over
natural resources management in their areas of jurisdiction.
 Encroachment on some resources such as wetlands
 Some developers want to carry out development outside specified standards

2.8.4 Strategies for improved Natural Resources Management/environment sustainability

 Need to increase the budget for environmental activities
 Need for sensitization campaigns on population growth and resources availability.
 Communities that entirely depend on natural resources such as brick makers need to be
availed with alternative sources of livelihood e.g accessing credit facilities.
 Passing of ordinances over the management and use of certain environmental resources
 Need for good collaboration between politicians and civil servants
 Serious enforcement of environmental laws and policies.
 Increased participation of stakeholders in the field of environment and natural resources
management such as tree planting, wetlands management, hilly and mountainous areas
management and waste management.
 Practice soil & water conservation.
 Practical demarcation of wetlands and boundaries.
 Development of an Environmental Action Plan for Municipal Council

75

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE FRAMEWORK

5.1 Introduction

This section provides an overview of the measurements, analysis and reporting needed to monitor and
evaluate the MDP. The detailed monitoring and evaluation (M&E) strategies, including the results
and M&E framework, the plan for data collection, analysis and storage, reporting flows and formats,
the plan for the communication of MDP results and review, the capacity building plan as well as the
implementation schedule.

5.2 Goals and objectives of M&E framework.

- To establish a well-coordinated Municipal wide system for tracking efficiency and effectiveness in
service delivery; and enhancing transparency and accountability in use of Public Resources.

M&E System Objectives:

- Constitute a robust Municipal wide tool for tracking progress and demonstrating results.
- Coordinate and facilitate all stakeholders to:
(a) Regularly and systematically track progress in implementation
(b) Assess performance against planned results; and (c) conduct constructive engagement with
stakeholders.
- Provide early warning on problems in implementation and guide corrective action.
- institutionalize use of M&E information in policy formulation, planning and budgeting.
- Provide sustained technical backstopping and training in M&E.
- Establish appropriate infrastructure for an effective M&E system.
- Facilitate continuous learning by all stakeholders during the implementation of the MDP.

112
5.3 Justification of the M&E frame work and methodology.

5.3.1. Justification of the M&E

M&E is essential part of the implementation of the plan because it guides the Municipal in measuring
performance and assess the efficiently and effectiveness of implementing Government Programmes
and taking corrective action and introducing changes where necessary in order to achieve the
intended objectives.

5.3.2. Methodology
A well-coordinated Municipal wide M&E system for effective tracking evaluation and feedback on
MDP implementation and results will be established. A participatory approach that entails the
involvement of all key actors to fully internalize and own the system as well as use the results to
inform their actions.

5.4 Current situation and existing M&E arrangements

They are weak and only comprise a few functional systems at departmental level especially in
Education, under the EMIS
There has been a weak coordination mechanism, use of different formats and approvals with common
guidelines and standards, inadequate feedback and sharing of results by all stakeholders. There have
been cases of inadequate data being collected and poor use of the data generated.

5.5. Conceptualization, design, data and reporting requirements.

The Monitoring and Evaluation strategy priorities efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery to
achieve results as well as transparency and accountability of available resources. This strategy will
include result oriented management, output based budgeting, performance approval for staff and
adoption of budget framework paper in which sectors clearly articulate objectives, targets, outputs
and outcomes.

This strategy institutionalizes the use of M&E as a tool for better public sector management,
management, transparency and accountability geared to support the overall strategic direction of the
MDP and achievement of results.

Currently few departments produce annual performance reports. It’s important that all sectors
produce performance reports owning their performance, challenges and the proposed solutions. Those
reports will be produced by August of the flowing financial year and this will be the input to the
budget conference and chief executive will reprimand Heads of Departments that do not submit their
reports in time.

5.6. Framework implementation strategy: The implementation framework has been developed and
contains key intended results of the strategies and key performance indicators. It contains a full list of

113
indicators, data collection methods, timetables and responsibilities. It contains an evaluation plan
detailing specific policy and programme evaluations to be conducted during the life of the MDP.

5.7. Roles and responsibilities of key authors in M&E.

5.7.1 Local Governments

5.8 IMPLEMENTATION COST ESTIMATES:-

The implementation of the MDP M & E frame work and its cogent system with the existing LG
structures and building in existing initiatives will greatly enhance its resource feasibility. The
estimated cost for the activities developing and operating the framework is given in the table below:-

5.7.1 FINANCING
There is need to undertake infrastructures to mobilize resources for operational zing the framework. There is need to search support
from the Development partners and the Municipality own locally generated sources of financing and other support from the central
government.

5.7.2 POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The sources of the M&E framework will have the following policy implications.
 Integration the existing management information systems.
 Refinement of the existing monitoring and information management systems to ensure that they provide a harmonized,
objective and rational basis for effective tracking evaluation and feedback on the MDP Actions and results.
 Fully functionalizing the Municipal Planning Unit in terms of staffing and other requirements.
 Adequate resourcing of data collection and M&E activities by establishing for M&E and data collection.

5.7.1. Local Governments: The Municipal will be responsible for monitoring service delivery and accountability for results. The
municipal departments will be responsible for reporting on progress of implementation and achievement of planned outputs. This will
involve reporting on the process of implementation focusing on implementation constraints.

116
5.7.2. Community Level actors: These comprise of Divisions, community based NGOs,
administrative units. They will provide information on delivery of various services, transparency of
resources given and challenges and gaps experienced in delivery of various services. They also
validate outcomes of implementation of the MDP in their respective areas.

5.7.3. Household actors: These comprise of individual citizens and constitute the primary
beneficiaries of the DDP strategies and initiatives. The role of citizens is to provide information on
the MDP implementation and delivery of target outputs as well as validating results for better service
delivery and accountability mainly through the Division Baraza’s.

5.7.4 Development partners: These will support the implementation of M&E activities, capacity
building for M&E and use of M&E products.

Objective:
To ensure that roads are regularly maintained in motorable conditions to foster social economic
development of the people through easy access to social services and markets for their agricultural
produce and goods.

Background
Experience has shown that when a road is rehabilitated or periodically maintained and no routine
maintenance is done, its general condition depreciates very fast. This has been proved by
observations on some rehabilitated roads. It was realized that there is a big difference between
sections where there is routine maintenance and where it is not. This has therefore, made us
undertake routine maintenance of Municipal roads with priority given to newly rehabilitated and
major roads. Some roads are beyond maintenance using manual labour. We have therefore, planned
to do mechanized maintenance.

Technical Description
 Road condition assessment of all Municipal roads in addition to minor and spot repair
inventory.
 Culvert and bridge inventory on all municipal roads.
 Grading and shaping
 Spot gravelling
 Desilting of culverts and side drains
