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.

The research questions focused on the methods and techniques used in teaching HIV/AIDS programme implementation, head teachers' and pupils' attitude towards HIV/AIDS programme implementation, and the problems the head teachers face while implementing HIV/AIDS programme in primary schools. Literature review focused on the background to the situation ofillV/AIDS, its impact on economic development, to the learners, implementation of HIV/AIDS education programme, teaching techniques and the teachers role in HIV /AIDS education programme implementation. The study employed survey research design. The sample was all the 26 headteachers and Teachers Living With Aids (TLWA) and Teachers Against Aids (TAA) in the division. Data was collected from headteachers in public and private primary schools in the division. Findings revealed that lack of training on the part of the headteachers on IDV / AIDS has hindered the implementation of the programme. It was also revealed that schools used methods and techniques discussions, resource persons, lecture and also used electronic methods such as videos and handling the programme according to the levels oflearners in teaching the programme. Schools also had special programmes in their schools concerning illV/AIDS for pupils which included videos and drama; having banners and V artistic work on walls as a way of sensitization. Schools however did not have specialized teachers to handle the programme. It was also revealed that the headteachers had a positive attitude towards the programme. Findings further revealed that the headteachers faced problems with infected and the affected pupils. This was due to absenteeism of the pupils, lack of proper nutrition due to the prevailing poverty levels in the division which affected pupils learning in high schools. It also revealed that headteachers faced challenges which included lack of resources both physical and financial which hindered proper implementation of the programme. Based on the above findings it was also recommended that the government through the Kenya Institute of Education suggest and avail the necessary and adequate teaching and learning materials for easier implementation of HIV/AIDS programme. It was also recommended that the government through the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) should come up and assist infected pupils with basic necessities so that they are able to participate in the schools. The study suggested that a study on the impact ofHN/AIDS on academic performance in primary schools should be conducted. Another study on the attitude of teachers and students on HIV/ AIDS in primary schools should be conducted, lastly since this study was carried out in Kamukuji Division of Nairobi Province which is an urban set up, there is need to carry out a similar research in other districts preferably rural to establish what challenges faced in those areas.

- ItemThe Influence of Delegation and Accountability in the Management of Public Primary Schools: A Case Study of Public Primary Schools in Nyabubare Sub-Couty - Bushenyi District.(Kampala International University, bachelors degree in public administration and management, 2004-11) Ntaraki, AnatoliA 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.
