(Kampala International University,College of Humanities and Social Science, 09-2016) Lochoro, Albina Akwar
Study was conducted on the Impact of Disannament on Human Rights violations in Kotido town council Kotido District — Karamoja sub region. I decided to carry out on this particular topic due to the prevailing issues on Human Rights violations in the area. The purpose of the study was to examine the Impact of Disarmament on Human Rights violation in Kotido town council. Therefore a sample was drawn to represent the entire population, it consisted of 120 respondents both males and females from various categories and groups such as the rural parishes, education committee, town council technical staff, politicians and the private sector. The study was both quantitative and qualitative, Sampling methods used were simple random sampling using lottery method, stratified random sampling and judgmental method, and the main instruments used for data collection were questionnaires, interviews, observation and focus group discussions. Based on the findings, it was observed in the relationship/correlation between Disarmament and Human Rights violation that Disarmament leads to Arbitrary Searches, Arrests, and Detentions, Torture and ill- treatment, Looting and Destruction of Property, Unlawful Killings and Excessive Use of Force. Looking at the major causes of Human Rights violations during Disarmament exercise, it was found out that the major causes of Human Rights violations during Disannarnent exercise are, Ignorance of the locals over their rights, Absence of strong leadership, Absence of Human Rights commission in the local communities which lead to Torture and death, Thefi and destruction of property among others like, unlawful killings, and arbitrary detention during cordon and search. Later, it was found out that the solution to this is through Re-instating voluntary Disarmament, Punishing the Human Rights violators, and Introducing a neutral body. Lastly I came up with some possible recommendations on areas pertaining Human Rights violations in the district like for example the government has to compensate victims of unlawful killings, torture, ill treatment, arbitrary detention, and looting by the government forces and to set up an independent commission to study the district situation.

It is based on the case of women beneficiaries in Laroo division Oulu municipality, Oulu district.

The methods used by researcher were personal interviewing of respondents, and Focus Group Discussions. The researcher discovered that the majority of the women in Laroo division have benefited from F AL and thus their lives have greatly improved as a result, they head families like men. However, women who are in groups have benefited more from F AL than those who are not in groups. Non-participants have remained poor and ignorant of importance of F AL and so the researcher recommends that focus should be on those very poor non-participating women particularly in rural areas, if the programmes are to be more successful.

(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2004-11) Ntaraki, Anatoli
A number of factors have always frustrated the efforts of the researcher to deliver services in attempt to investigate into the influence of delegation and accountability in the management of selected primary schools in Nyabubare sub-county. The research was carried out in Government schools. Government primary schools in Uganda are not yielding fruits to the expectations of the people and instead people are becoming poorer. It was observed that the inadequacy of the services in Bushenyi District and Nyabubare Sub County in particular is basically because of the limited finances possessed both by the Government and other voluntary organizations. After gathering data, the researcher also analyzed it, presented it and discussed the findings. These findings are of great use to whoever is interested in the development of public primary schools in Nyabubare Sub County like the Government, Donor agencies and voluntary organizations. Thus the researcher concluded that head teachers and teachers should use the tools of delegation and accountability as effective measures for proper management and administration by schools. He therefore recommended that it is imperative that all head teachers work hand in hand with teachers, parent teachers associations and Boards of Governors and other relevant committees that can effectively manage primary schools. Various recommendations and conclusions were made from this study as indicated in the last chapter of the booklet.

A comparative study of rural accessibility to media information a case of Lukaya sub-county Masaka district
(Kampala international international: College Humanities and Social Sciences, 2005-07) Samuel, Kobwemi
The mode and level of information dissemination are crucial to social development. The rural communities are basic in realizing social change. But these have to be intensively informed so as to adapt to the new ways of life. The media therefore take the challenge to continuously pass on information to the rural masses. This book presents the findings about the extent to which the media have served the rural communities with information, after studying whether the rural people give audience to the media and how they use the media to get information, if at all they do. The findings of the study in short show that the rural people are able to access radio more than any other media. Audience however is still low because people are limited by factors such as poverty, illiteracy, time and inappropriate programming by the media. Having identified the missing gaps in disseminating information to the rural people, the report suggests suitable ways by which the government, the media and other agencies can adopt appropriate policies for information accessibility by the rural people.
