    Constraints affecting the participation of girls and women in sports in Uganda
    ( 1994) Byaruhanga, Kadoodooba Akiiki
    Despite the fact that the population of Uganda consists of nearly 60% females, there are more males involved in sports in Uganda than women. More men are penetrating sports at the international level than women in Uganda. Why and what is wrong with women participation in sports in Uganda? What is it that although the qualifying standards of women for African Games are less demanding that those of men we get less women qualifying for medals at African Championships that men? Why is it that Uganda athletics in the national teams and other sports have had nearly the same women athletes in the national teams for the last two decades? Why is it that it is increasingly difficult to replace such old athletes with young athletes?

    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

    Temporal consciousness in African belief and ideology.
    ( 1982) Nelson, Jack
    In delineating the temporal consciousness of the people belonging to a traditional African culture, perhaps, the most subtle difficulty is that of overcoming the assumption of a normative concept of time. Augustine's well-known quandary, of knowing what time is until asked to explain it, remains a most formidable experience. Only in struggling with the problem on this level are we able to perceive the symbolic nature of temporal consciousness serving to synthesize a peoples' ethos by providing a cosmological construct. But further, we can uncover the ideological function embedded in a peoples temporal consciousness. What becomes interesting then, is the manner in which this temporal consciousness is altered in a changing society, experiencing the breakdown and reconstruction of cultural superstructures, with varied efforts being made toward preserving a continuity with , traditional cosmologies while adapting in the wake of encroaching socio-economic changes.
