	The International Electronic Journal of Health Education
		Since the current practice in Uganda is to give an integrated package of services to clients, it is recommended that a large study be carried out to investigate factors limiting provision of health education in prenatal care clinics as a basis for improving delivery of messages especially on family planning.
		Currently, 25% of women in Uganda report that their husbands do not approve use of family planning and this is further reflected by the fact that 69% of men prefer to continue having children (Uganda Bureau of Statistics, 2001).
		In Uganda, a hospital is usually based at the headquarters of a district and normally serves a catchment population of about 300,000 people.

		Uganda is a country of contradictions. Although richly endowed with natural resources and great agricultural potential, civil strife and economic mismanagement have hampered its growth. The country is one of the poorest in the world, according to estimates made by the World Bank, half Ugandans live below the poverty line.
		Uganda has a population of approximately 19 million which is predominantly rural-based, 88% of the population living in and deriving its livelihood from rural areas.
		The Kumi/ Soroti district in eastern Uganda is a flat, low-lying area with savanna vegetation. The soils are of low fertility but suitable for the growing of crops like cotton, millet, groundnuts, sorghum, sweet potatoes and cassava.

		Uganda is a land-locked country with a surface area of 241,000 square kilometers, of which about 20% is water.
		It slopes down to Lake Victoria on the southeast and to the Western Rift Valley that holds Lakes Albert and Edward, and is overlooked by snow-covered peaks and glaciers of the Rwenzori mountains (the mountains are presently the centres of ADF incursions) in the west.

		TILLING, Kumi District, Uganda - For most people in this remote village some 360 kilometers northeast of Kampala, the long days and nights when their children easily grew sick and frequently died - all without a clear explanation - are not difficult to recall.
		In both Kumi and Soroti Districts, the terrain is mostly flat grassland interrupted sporadically by forests and isolated swamps and served by few paved roads.
		The partnership underlying the Uganda project is multilayered: the Canadian Bahá'í community played a key role as a liaison between the CPHA and the Bahá'í community of Uganda, through its Canadian Bahá'í International Development Service (CBIDS).

		In Kumi, there was inadequate consultation between donor, town council authorities and the beneficiaries on the design of both the water supply and the excreta disposal systems.
		In Kumi, the service provider was dependent on user charges for its survival and was remarkably effective both in the collection and management of funds; direct payment for water at the time of collection no doubt helped.
		In Uganda, Wobulenzi did not fare any better but Kumi was an exceptional case, with hygiene education being provided by municipal staff (though the quality of the education was not clear).

	Uganda - Targeting of Rural Financial Services to Women
		In the case of the Uganda Women’s Efforts to Save Orphans (UWESO) development project, both men and women can qualify for loans, but there can be no more than one man in each five-member group.
		The evidence from UWESO in Mbarara, Lira and Kumi, from Uganda Women’s Finance Trust/Swedish International Development Authority (UWFT-SIDA) activities in Homa, and from Private Agencies Collaborating Together (United States) (PACT) in Masindi showed women to be more conscientious about saving, more cautious in borrowing and more disciplined in loan repayment than men.
		The frequency with which this happens in Uganda is not known, but some rural finance experts believe that such diversion is common everywhere.
