    The integration of refugees into Uganda's education system
    ( 1999) Harrell-Bond, B.E.
    This is a proposal for a four-year research programme designed to monitor the impact of the process of integration of educational services for refugees in Adjumani, Arua, and Moya Districts. This process will be part of the implementation of a new policy of the Government of Uganda (GoU) and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). In July 1998, the GoU/UNHCR announced its new policy, 'From Local Settlement to Self-Sufficiency: A Long-Term Strategy for Assistance to Refugees in Uganda, 1999-2002'. Initially it is to apply to Sudanese refugees in three northern districts. Over a four-year period, the GoU and UNHCR aim to bring the refugees in these three districts to self-sufficiency and to integrate services for refugees with those of the host society. These districts also contain large numbers of self-settled refugees who are already using local services, including schools.1 Moreover, some of the 'refugee schools' provide education to the children of nationals. The proposed research has been conceived and will be implemented as a discrete study within the broader framework of an EU-sponsored project, Research on Policy Issues in "Refugee Health and Welfare. A major objective of this umbrella project is to build local capacity in research and teaching. Collaborating 2 institutions are the Refugee Studies Programme (RSP), University of Oxford, UK; the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, Belgium; Institute of Public Health, Makerere University, Uganda, and the Centre for Refugee Studies/Medical School, Mai University, and Kenya.3

    The Pre-colonial Social Formation among the Bakenhe Fishing Community of Lake Kyoga region of Uganda, 1800- 1894.
    ( 1996) Asowa-Okwe, C.
    This paper, therefore, set s out to bridge this gap by specifically looking at the pre colonial social formations of the Bakenhe fishing community of Lake Kyoga Re0i on, between 1800 and 1900. In essence this is a preliminary? Attempt t o explore about the past of the Bakenhe, a people whose past have curiously been neglected by those who have studied or written about the pas t of Ugandan societies. The paper seeks to explain how the interaction between the Bakenhe and t heir natural and social environment contributed t o the development of their pre-colonial social formations. Our ultimate contention in this paper is that human .history is nothing but the connection established between man and nature, and between man and fellow men through the dynamic process of production and reproduction. That is t o say that human history of necessity concerns how man is able to produce and reproduce his concrete material life. It is, therefore, follows t hat for us to delineate the social formation that permeated the Bakenhe society in the period mentioned above, we must know who controlled the Bakenhe society in the means of production, what were the objects of production, who controlled the distribution and use of products, and above all what was the nature of socio- economic relations in the society.
