(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2016-09) Athuc, Rhoda
This study investigated about international organizations and promotions of children's rights in Afiica with a case study of UNICEF in South Sudan. The study was guided by the following objectives: i) to assess children's rights abuses in South Sudan, ii) to analyze the role of UNICEF in promoting and protecting children's rights in South Sudan, iii) to identify the challenges faced by UNICEF in promoting and protecting children's rights in South Sudan, and iv) to assess South Sudan border relations with neighboring countiies and refugee influx. The study adopted both case study and cross-sectional design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The sample size included 127 respondents detern1ined from a sample population of 200 participants using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table. However, only 84 participated in the study, giving a response rate of 66%. The results indicated that children's rights were highly abused in the on-going South Sudan conflicts, among which included sexual violence, lack of education, recruitment by both anned and rebel forces, abduction, maiming and killing. However UNICEF was also found to play instrumental roles in the areas of promoting education, child protection and gender equality in the education. Given these effo1is by UNICEF, a number of challenges such as insecmity, lack of funding, inaccessible areas due to poor road infrastructure, and under staffing have been hindering factors to the perforn1ance of UNICEF in South Sudan. Fmihern1ore, the study found that border relations of South Sudan with Ethiopia and Uganda were good and therefore South Sudan had no problem with its neighbors since they were the largest receivers of refugees from South Sudan. The study therefore recommended that: There is need for the international donors to support South Sudanese authorities to ensure that children are quickly released from forces, reintegrated into civilian life, and provided with education services and where necessary, psychosocial suppo1i in accordance with the international Paris Principles, guidelines for the release of child soldiers; The need to provide funding to ensure that mental health and psychosocial support, considerations are addressed and mainstreamed in the planning, implementation and monitoring of all humanitarian response activities; and The need for the warring parties to ensure unimpeded access by the humanitarian organisations to children affected by the conflict.

(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and social sciences., 2017-06) Chan Deng, Adim
This research aimed at investigating the South Sudan foreign policy in relation to Uganda. The study was guided by three objectives Including: to examine the various factors shaping South Sudan’s foreign policy, to examine South Sudan’s relations with Uganda and identifying South Sudan’s foreign policy strategies in relation to its neighbors. The research methodology was based on a case study research design. This used specific subjects with common characteristics enough to represent the rest other than studying the entire population. Besides, the design facilitated the acquisition of in-depth analysis of data got from both countries because it engulfs the use of a variety of techniques for the same purpose. The findings indicated that there were four major factors that shaped South Sudan’s foreign policy and the respondents majorly agreed with economic and political factors with up to 75% of the entire population whereas military Intervention/strategies were also pointed out with 20% of the respondents and lastly but not least social relations that covered 5%. It also established that there are strong ties between the two countries (80%) despite of the ongoing conflict in the country. Both political and economic wise the two countries are almost Inseparable with the UPDF intervention in South Sudan and Uganda’s role in the Peace talks amongst South Sudan’s leaders (50%). The researcher concluded that decline in economic and social factors have complicated standards of living, children having to flee their villages in fear of being starved, abducted and recruited by the rebels, shortage of money due to displacement by civil wars, poverty since cows were the only source of livelihood among the communities such as Dinka and scaring away Investors thus affecting the economy of the country were the economic Impacts that children and women had on the economy of the county, state and country. As well, the implementation of law\s and order by the Central Equatorial state authorities was poor and that most of the respondents reacted by taking revenge and condemning the raids when their community members had been raided or abducted by other communities. The researcher recommended that the government of the Republic of South Sudan and state governments should encourage its citizens to diversify in other economic activities like farming and mining apart from cattle keeping which is the only source of livelihood among the pastoral communities such as the Dinka, Lou Nuer and Murle of Jonglei state. In order to bring a sustainable peace and security in the region, IGAD’s role and its capacity should be strengthened, especially with related to the two Sudan. Its role, moreover, should be free from the Influence of member states and some of the international actors.

(Kampala International University; College of Humanities and Social Science, 2018-04) Abdifatah, Noor K.
The study sought to examine the constitutionalism in promoting democracy in Kenya. The study objectives were; to assess the effect of recognition and protection of fundamental rights and freedoms on democracy in Mandera County, Kenya, to examine the effect of separation of powers on democracy in Mandera County, Kenya and to examine the effect of independent judiciary on democracy in Mandera County, Kenya. The research design was of a cross sectional survey. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to collect data. This enabled the researcher to get divergent views on the subject. Through qualitative methods, the respondents’ attitudes, behaviours and experiences were captured. The researcher used quantitative methods such as questionnaires and structured interviews to gather large scale data, in a relative manner. The population of the study used a total population of Mandera County which is 1,025,756 as indicated in by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (2009). However since sonic respondents were not accessible. The researcher targeted 114 respondents within the County. The sample size of 104 respondents was calculated using Solven’s formula. The researcher used varieties of sampling which included: Purposive and random sampling. Data was collected from primary and secondary sources using questionnaires and interviews. After collecting data, the researcher organized well answered questionnaire, data was edited and sorted for the next stage. The data was presented in tabular form, pie charts and bar graphs with frequencies and percentages. The study findings revealed that 28(6.98%) indicated that they strongly agreed with the statement that “In Mandera County. There is a failed judicial system affecting constitutionalism and democracy” 3 8(36.5%) agreed with the statement, 29(27.9%) were undecided, those who disagreed and strongly disagreed were 5(4.8) and finally 4(3.8%) of the respondents strongly disagreed. This means that the guardian of the constitution and the protector of human rights and the impartial enforcer of the law failed as required by judicial arm of the government. The study concludes that the recognition of the right to form and/or join political parties of one’s choice and to vote or to be voted for any political office in the post—1990 African constitutions is fast becoming an illusion because the dominant parties that have now replaced the single parties and their leaders have easily entrenched themselves or their parties in office in perpetuity. The study recommends that to achieve an inclusive constitution writing process, it follows that the drafting body should include representatives of key power holders and social groups.

This study used the descriptive cross-sectional survey design and was used to collect data from different respondents (e.g.camp administrators) at the same period of time. A sample size of 40 respondents was used and was determined using Krejcie and Morgan Table (1970) for determining the sample size from the population. The questionnaire and interview guide were used as the research instruments. Descriptive statistics used in this study included frequencies and percentages. The findings revealed the following: The results indicate that UNHCR contributes greatly in ensuring that refugees have access to health facilities and services in the host areas though it is not adequate to all refugees in the area; indicating that they have access to water provided by UNFICR or but there could be challenges to accessing water services in the refugee camp, which may include the distance and ciuality of water accessed; the results revealed that respondents have access to education services as provided by UNHCR, most especially Primary education, indicating a relatively high accessibility to school and education services by children of refugees in the camp as a fundamental human right which should be enjoyed by everyone whether a refugee or other people in the host communities; the findings revealed that refugees in Rwamanja settlement camp have access to toilet and other sanitation services provided by UNHCR; the findings revealed that the respondents get food support from UNHCR, most especially in terms of posho and beans rations. The researcher recommended that it is imperative that the Government of Uganda and hosting Local Governments should mobilize for more resources especially funds that are vital in re -settlement of refugees in the area to supplement of IJNHCR’s efforts; there is need for Government of Uganda in collaboration with UNI-ICR to improve referral and health services. There is need for UNHCR to work closely with the host country and communities in providing access to education services by embracing the local education system especially government programmes like Universal Primary Education and Universal Secondary which will go a long way in enabling the refugees to have access to education.

(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2018-09) Rwahama, Richard

This approach enabled the researcher understand phenomenon in its entity, therefore qualitative and quantitative method utilized to grasp data on process and reasons for the particular outcomes which was both useful for providing adequate information on the study. A sample of 104 respondents was selected. Using, purposive sampling and simple random data was analyzed using the computer package called SPSS to generate tables and graphs. The findings of the study were that civil society organization’s role was to condemn against oppression followed by respondent who revealed that their role was to create awareness among the public on as far as their rights were concerned and respondents revealed that they represented the masses/public of various issues and lastly were respondents said they gave financial support and facilitations on programs like public addresses. Findings revealed that civil society’s organizations’ lacked support from public and collective and collaborative efforts. The study concluded that a comparative analysis through different historical perspective is also made to illuminate patterns of changes CS actors underwent in pursuing f1eir goals and objectives. The study finds that throughout history, there had been significant contribution of CS in democratization process from bottom-up, but lack of freedom and military’s unwillingness to change the system has crippled CS to remain as merely social and humanitarian caretakers with most of them totally ceasing their activities, rather than being active in pursuing their real visions. The study recommends that SCOs should re—organizing themselves to be more coordinated and collaborative forces that could have significant impact on government decision-making process. There should he a call for nationwide SC conference where representative could come up with a more coordinated platform with proper strategy to further agendas more to do with national level rather than small scale ethnic line or communal line impact.

(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and social sciences., 2018-10) Omojok Obac, Denyong
This research project studies the phenomenon of children rights in South Sudan with a view of understanding the emergence of this phenomenon, the actors perpetrating the existence of child soldiers, and solutions towards ending the phenomenon. Many treaties have been signed and ratified by states with regards to children’s rights. There are international treaties and regional treaties but children’s rights are still violated. The number of children participating in armed conflict is on the increase in the world. This research seeks to understand why this phenomenon still goes on and examines the international legal standards iii place. The adequacy of the standards and possible remedies to improve the situation of child soldiers. Three main issues are discussed in the research paper. The issue of age is very important in relation to when persons can take pail in armed conflict. The research argues that a universally acknowledge should be used to describe the child. The second issue is the response of the international community towards the legal standards. It has been noted that people violate set standards because they can. This research attempts to assess the truth behind the behavior of the international community towards the phenomenon of child soldiers. Monitoring and implementation are discussed as an important aspect of international legal procedures. Analysis and criticism are made of a selection of international organizations and Non-governmental organizations with the view to understanding the role of advocates in the campaign for children’s rights. The role of the community is examined in this research project and arguments based on the social constructivist theory that argues amongst other things that ideas, norms and culture affect the structure of the society are used. Suggestions and recommendations are given, if not to make a change, hopefully to add emphasis on the fact that the international immunity needs to change the way it views child soldiers and the society needs to be more involved in issues pertaining to child soldiers.

(Kampala International University,College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-02) Okuno, Denis
This research project was formulated by the Author after extensively undertaking a career in refugee issues for a period of more than twelve years now. The study focused on the two distinct variables of the contribution of non-formal skills education acquired by refugees in Uganda and how these skills attained by the refugees have made a contribution on the livelihoods of the refugees in Uganda. The examination of this statement by the Author of this research is done in the conceptual framework of the study and the supported by the findings of the study as generated during the collection of the data and this will be discussed thoroughly in the subsequent chapters of this report. This study combined qualitative and quantitative lenses in that key informant interviews were conducted with staff working on the refugee programme within government and the nongovernmental organizations to support the generation of information as per the specific objectives of the study and the research questions. Household questionnaires were also administered through conducting interviews with the respondents who have acquired skills in non-formal education supported by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees and its partners. Sample size selection was conducted; cluster sampling was adopted mainly targeting the Congolese refugees because of the homogenous nature of their settlement in the selected parishes of Lubaga DiVision such as Nabulagala, Katwe where most of these live. From the findings of this study, there was considerable evidence from the respondents that the non-formal skills education and training acquired have made significant contribution on the livelihoods of refugees in Uganda as later argued out using the different independent and dependent variables of this study. Therefore drawing from the specific objectives of this study, the findings significantly highlight that non-formal skills education varies in terms of the skill acquired by the learner and in turn this skill has potential to make a lasting impact on the livelihood of the learner as will be shown in this report.

Challenges of Regional Integration in Africa: The case study of the New East African Community.
(Kampala International University, School of law., 2019-05) Epulu, Moses
This research study aimed at the assessment of the challenges of regional integration in Africa focusing on the New East African Community. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the political Factors Promoting EAC Growth and Development, to examine the extent to which the East African countries are prepared to achieve full integration and to identify the possible solutions to the various constraints. The research adopted the transformative mixed approach. This provided for a framework for topics of interest, methods for data collection and outcomes or changes anticipated by the study and involved sequential or a concurrent approach. The targeting population of the study was selected randomly and included 150 individuals. Sample sizes of 109 respondents were selected. The study used both primary and secondary data collection methods including document review and interviews. Data were collected using questionnaire surveys and employed a face to face interview methods as well as documentary review. The researcher used face-to- face interview with the employee from Uganda Ministry of East Africa Affairs, Commerce and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassies of Tanzania, Kenya, South Sudan, Rwanda and Burundi in Uganda. The study found out respondents’ biographic data based on their sex, age, education level, marital status and time spent in the community and experience. Findings in this study showed that that overall mean rating for political factors influencing development in the EAC region was computed at 73.6%, which is relatively modest. The analysis has indicated, however, that the following factors are showing a positive path to progress in political integration. These factors received a rating of 75% and above. One of these is the fact that there is an enhanced sense of East African identity, developing from modern communications. The study identified that there is no single approach that can wholly describe and prescribe the progress of the EAC integration process. It finds, rather, that a mixed theory approach is more effective, where various theories describe and prescribe the EAC integration at various stages of the process, Despite this finding the study concludes that the political will might be high at the highest level but the rest of the levels do not fare as well. To accelerate the process of integration, investments on basic infrastructure such as railways, roads, electricity and access to water need to be prioritized in order to connect the region as well as providing favorable conditions for commerce to thrive. Difficulty in the movement of people, goods and services create a hindrance to the process of integration. Nontariff barriers create such a hindrance and hence the EAC should strive to completely eliminate them. The study recommends the development of a legislative fi’amework (laws, policies and guide lines) for Community Development within partner states. Harmonization of democratization policies, processes and practices. In doing so, the EAC should embrace policies on human development, social benefit, and protection, across the region. This would enable EAC member states realize a common identity, a feature that is prerequisite for integration in the region. The East Africa citizenry needs to be informed and educated more about the integration process. The EAC secretariat ought to conduct massive civic education programmes around East Africa for the public to know how they can get involved in the process. It will as well inform them of the benefits to them and the huge opportunities that lie in an integrated East Africa.

(Kampala International University,College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-05) Massawe, Felix F.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the school factors influencing refugee children access to primary education within Kasarani district, Nairobi, Kenya. Kasarani district has a large number of refugees children but all do not access education despite the fact that basic education should be free at elementary levels. Four research objectives were designed to guide the study; to establish how the language of instruction influence the access to primary education for refugee pupils, to examine the relevance of curriculum, to establish the influence of protective environment of school, to establish effects of certification on refugee education and academic certificates awarded to refugees children .The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The target population for this study comprised of 21 head teachers from public primary schools with refugee children, 420 teachers from the schools and2, 500 refugee pupils from public primary schools in Kasarani district, Kenya. 7 schools in Kasarani District were randomly sampled for the study. The study utilized questionnaires for teachers, head teachers and pupils. A test-retest technique or co-efficient stability method was used to estimate the degree to which the same results could be obtained with a repeated measure of accuracy. A correlation coefficient of about 0.74 was obtained for the teacher’s questionnaires and 0.72 for head teachers questionnaires. Data from the field was collected, cleaned, coded and recorded. Data collected by use of the questionnaire, was coded, and analyzed. Data was presented using tables and graphs. The study established that; The education policies on language of communication did not adequately cover the refugees children, Most of the refugees, in Kasarani are in Kenya illegally, so they fear taking children to schools, the refugee’s children have equal learning opportunities with the Kenyan children, the government takes the records of the refugee children in schools, the refugees children have undergone a different education system than the Kenyan education system and therefore, the certification system of the country of origin is totally different. It was found to be difficult to establish exactly the level a child was, before he /she left school and that Language barriers hinders education and learning opportunities to the refugees. The study recommends that; The government should offer protection to the refugee children and families, and shield them from the regular harassment by the police, the government or UNHCR should ensure appropriate registration of the refugees and issuing of the appropriate documents for recognition ,the government should deploy more teachers to cater for the large number of pupils and probably those who understand the languages of refugee origin, to the schools in areas with many refugees, so as to enhance learning and understanding of the refugee children and that the government through MOE and the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development should develop a curriculum for refugee children
Masculinity and experiences of sexual violence: case study of male Congolese refugees in Kampala Uganda
(Kampala international international: College Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-06) Shallon, Tushemereirwe
Yearly, Uganda receives many refugees, Sexual violence remains one of the reported incidences among those who seek asylum in Uganda, especially from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Though many organizations have tried to tackle the issue of gender-based violence where sexual violence is regarded as a major form, little is known about male refugees who are victims of sexual violence. This study explores how the masculine identities of the male Congolese refugees who have experienced sexual violence have shifted and considers their struggles to overcome trauma. Using a case study of Congolese male refugees, this study will indicate the importance of recognizing sexual violence and the damage it creates to their sense of self health and livelihood, and perhaps rethinking the problem of sexual violence from the point of view of men as victims. Through gathering the true stories from the men themselves, and from social workers (psycho-social counsellors), medical practitioners, care-takers and close relations, this study explores an area that has been under-researched in the past. This study found out that the psychological experiences sexually abused men go through are in some ways similar to those the women experiences, and even more than women sometimes, though men tend not to express themselves. The findings clearly illustrate the complex social construction of men’s sense of masculinity and how the dominant notions of masculinity has prevented these men from speaking out this issue to those around or working on their behalf. Their main coping strategies so far were found to be silence, isolation and denial of their experiences of sexual violence. This silence has hampered such men as victims from receiving the support they needed to overcome deep damage that sexual violence left them with, Also, men did not have a place in some organizations’ record-keeping on cases of sexual violence. Therefore the study suggests that those in charge of supporting refugee men could learn from approaches to masculinity which is seen as shaping men’s behavior as victims and agents, hence influencing their responses to trauma and care.
The geopolitics of access to oil Resources: The case of Uganda.
(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-07) Ntalo, John
Fourteen years ago, Uganda joined other sub-Saharan African Countries with new discoveries of oil; and just as the case always is, this news comes with high prospects for development and economic transformation. These ambitious projections are always based on the success stories of oil money in other countries without prr:judice to the fear of the infamous oil curse that results from poor exploitation of oil revenues. With these aspirations at hand, Uganda has clearly stated in its national polices and development plans the fact that the country's development in the next 30 years shall be largely dependent on exploitation of its natural resources- such as oil.
