    Adolescent fertility and sexuality in Uganda: determinants, consequences and management
    (Makerere University, 1987-08-08) Rwabukwali, Charles B.
    In Uganda, adolescents constitute almost half of the total population and being of reproductive age, they contribute more to fertility than any other categories of persons. Moreover, adolescents have unique problems related to their fertility and sexuality and their position in society. These include increased health risks to the young mothers and their babies. Other consequences of adolescent fertility are examined in this paper and possible ways to manage this adolescent fertility discussed. Lastly, an attempt is made to locate adolescent fertility and sexuality in the socio-cultural context of the prevailing Uganda environment.

    Improving the management of sexual maturation at primary schools: information needs from the perspective of Ugandan school children
    (Makerere Institute of Social Research, 2002-06-14) Kasente, Deborah
    A series of studies conducted in Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe between 2000 - 2001 about management of puberty in Primary Schools all came to the same and poignant conclusion namely: the current management of sexual maturation within the primary education system is systematically failing to meet the needs of all children, but especially of girls. Specifically, the education system was found to be failing children at three levels by omitting to provide the following: Accessible and accurate knowledge and information about the process of sexual maturation; • Essential facilities to ensure that children, especially girls, are not excluded from full participation in the system because of their maturing bodies; • An adequate and appropriate value system through which children can be guided into safe and healthy adulthood.
