To address these challenges, the district will prioritize initiatives such as promoting improved farming technologies, irrigation, and skilling the population. The plan also emphasizes the need to enhance revenue mobilization and allocate resources towards nutrition-related interventions.

The plan adopts 11 programme areas, including agro-industrialization, tourism development, natural resource management, private sector development, integrated transport infrastructure and services, sustainable urban and housing development, human capital development, governance and security, public sector transformation, development plan implementation, and manufacturing.

A financing framework and resource mobilization strategy have been put in place to support the plan’s implementation. The district will explore various funding sources, including central government contributions, locally raised revenue, development partners, and other sources of financing.

The district’s vision is to create a poverty-free society by 2030, while its mission is to achieve sustainable socio-economic development through efficient provision of quality services to the people. The launch of the 4th National Development Plan marks a significant milestone in Kasese District’s journey towards sustainable socio-economic development.

KILEMBE MINES REVIVAL: A NEW CHAPTER UNFOLDS

In a significant development for Uganda’s mining sector, Kilembe Mines, a historic copper and cobalt mine in Kasese District, has been handed over to Sarrai Group of Companies. The handover ceremony, held at Bulembia Division offices yesterday 9th may 2025, marked a new chapter in the mine’s storied past, with government officials, local leaders, and residents in attendance.

Kilembe Mines has a rich history, dating back to 1950 when commercial mining of copper began. The mine was once a major contributor to Uganda’s economy, accounting for 30% of the country’s GDP. However, it collapsed in 1982, and despite efforts to revive it, no potential developer had been found until Sarrai Group came on board.

At the handover function, local leaders raised their requests and expectations to the developers and concerned authorities, advocating for the local community to benefit from the mine’s revival. Hon. Bomera Richard, LC III Chairperson of Bulembia Division, emphasized the need for a peaceful and collaborative approach to resolving land issues. He called on the developers to work with local leaders to settle land issues amicably, ensuring that the rights of all parties are respected. Hon. Bomera also requested the revival of Kilembe Mines hospital, citing its importance in providing healthcare services to the community.

James Mukasa Sebugwanya, the Board Chair of Uganda National Mining Company, described the handover ceremony as a significant milestone in the journey of reviving Kilembe Mines. “Today marks a milestone in the journey of reviving Kilembe Mines,” he said. “We thank the workers who have been working with Kilembe Mines and assure them that they will be given priority in job opportunities.”

The CEO of Sarrai Group, Mr. Sabjit Singh Rai, expressed confidence in reviving the mine, citing the company’s experience in reviving companies. “We are fully committed to this revival and request for your support,” he said. “We have experience in reviving companies and are confident in our ability to bring Kilembe Mines back to life. Once the mine is fully revived and fully operational, this place will be a beehive of activities.”

In response to the requests made by the local leaders, Hon. Godfrey Kabbyanga Kiime, Minister of State for ICT and National Guidance, highlighted the need for training local people to acquire skills and qualifications for mining jobs. “The whole of Kasese District has only one geologist; we need to train more locals to benefit from the mine’s opportunities,” he said. He also encouraged the local community to venture into businesses that will support the mine’s operations, such as construction and food supply.

The Chief Guest, Hon. Dr. Ruth Nankabirwa, Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, addressed the key issues highlighted by the local leaders, including land, security, and jobs. On land, she emphasized that an interministerial committee will be established to handle issues of land settlement. “We will handle issues of land settlement systematically, ensuring that bonified residents are differentiated from squatters,” she explained. On security, she said, “We must secure this place because there has been a lot of vandalism of this place. I will talk to the IGP to make sure there is security to protect the people and the assets.” On jobs, she highlighted the need to train local people to qualify for employment opportunities, saying, “We shall train the people so that they get jobs.”

Hon. Bukombi Muhindi Eliphaz, the District Chairperson, welcomed the development and emphasized the importance of differentiating bonified occupants from squatters and engaging local leaders in settling land issues. He also stressed the need for developers to prioritize local employment and ensure that the community benefits from the mine’s revival.

With the government’s commitment to addressing the concerns of the local community, stakeholders are optimistic about the potential benefits of the mine’s revival, including job creation, economic growth, and infrastructure development.

As Sarrai Group begins its operations, the community looks forward to working with the new developers to realize the mine’s full potential and unlock its benefits for the country.

Access to maternity services in Kabingo and other parishes in the mountainous sub county of Munkunyu has been so hard to achieve because of the terrain of the area with very poor access roads. The only functional facility in the area has been a health Centre II which offers only OPD services to the community and the nearest facilities being Nyabirongo, Kagando and Intergrated in Kinyamatseke Town council which are not easy to access especially during emergencies.

The community outcry was answered when government prioritized upgrading Kabingo Health Centre II to a health Centre III however delivering of materials to the site still remained the challenge because vehicles could not reach the site. This made it so hard for the contractors to implement the project and definitely affected the planned project cost in consideration of the accessibility of the site.

The community which never accepted loosing such a lifesaving project joined hands with the contractor to carry materials to the site manually. Women , men and the youth of Kabingo offered their backs and heads to carry materials to the site to enable the contractor to start the construction.

This project was launched yesterday by the Deputy RDC LT. Maate Magwara in witness of the LCV chairperson represented by the secretary for works, representative of the CAO Mr. Kikusa Mustafa and his technical team from the district, subcounty  leadership and the community.

The projects include construction of a Maternity ward and the relevant facilities and staff house.

According to the Acting District Engineer Mr. Asiimwe Ronald, the Maternity ward constructed by Mariam and Brothers Company limited is to cost 895 million and the staff house contracted by Tobis construction company LTD is to cost over 184 millions.

During the launch, the Deputy RDC LT. Maate Magwara  said that government is committed to extending services to the community through implementation of the policy of upgrading health Centre II’s to ensure that atleast every Subcounty has a Health Centre III.

He called upon the community to utilize the facility effectively to prevent maternal deaths since services have now come closer to the people.

Mr. Magwara also urged the Kabingo community to work hard to fight poverty in the community through positive utilization of government programs like PDM to stop earning from hand to mouth.

The District Chairperson who was represented by the Secretary for Social services Hon. Baluku Karim Kisembo appreciated members of the community for showing patriotism and supporting the contractor to deliver materials to the site .

He called upon the community to ensure maintenance of the facility once it is constructed and to utilize it for their wellbeing.

The Chef Admistrative Officer who was represented by his Principal Assistant Secretary Mr. Kikusa Mustafa appreciated the neighboring community for accepting to surrender their land to government to buy it for the project. He encouraged them to continue supporting implementation of the project to conclusion.

The LCI Chairperson, Kyibisire Village Mr James Katuramu appreciated government for extending services to the people in the mountains of Munkunyu and for reaching the ground to monitor implementation and ensuring the projects get officially launched.

He appealed to the government to also consider extending water to the community.

Kabingo Health Centre III is going to save mothers who have been moving over 10 Kilometers to have their babies and the facility is going to have health workers at the station fulltime since accommodation will be available.

This will improve delivery of health services to the community of Munkunyu and their neighbors.

KASESE TASK FORCE TO BAN ILLEGAL TRADE OF MEAT FROM SANKA.

District Task Force

In a bid to combat the spread of Anthrax from the neighboring districts to Kasese, District Task force has resolved to consult the law on how they can ban the trade of meat coming from Sanka to Kasese District.

Anthrax outbreak was reported in Kyotera District in the month of June and over 15 cases have been confirmed in Kyotera.

Though Kasese has not yet received any Positive Case of Anthrax, the trade of illegal meat from Sanka has remained the biggest threat to transfer anthrax to the district. In addition, Kasese remains the major route for transporting animals from Uganda to DRC .

This triggered the district Task force to hold a planning meeting to do early preparations in case of any eventualities.

According to the District Veterinary Officer Dr. Kibaya Yusuf, consumption of meat in Kasese is very high which exposes the community to a very high risk of acquiring Anthrax.

Dr. Kibaya condemned the trade of  Sanka meat which he said is coming from dead animals that traders buy cheaply and sell in Kasese district at a very low price.

He reported to the task force that sofar they have buried 2 cows which were suspected to be having Anthrax however, results came out negative.

He appealed to the leaders to support regulation of trade of meat in the district and fighting transportation of contaminated meat from Sanka which is a biggest threat to all efforts to control the spread of Anthrax.

The RDC LT. Joe Walumbi called upon all stakeholders to join efforts with the Task Force to prevent the spread of anthrax to the district. He asked all members of the district task force to make public health a priority and avoid defending illegal actions which put the public health at a risk.

The RPC Rwenzori region pledged cooperation with other stake holders to fight illegal trade of non-inspected meat in the district to protect the public from Anthrax and other health hazards.

The Principal Health Inspector , Kasese Municipality ,Mr. Kabagambe said that  there is no public health law that allows transportation of un preserved meat from one district to another. He added that the law only allows transportation of live animals not dead animals.

The district Task force formed a small committee of technical stakeholders to consult and interpret the law to guide their actions against illegal trade of meat in the district.

LOCAL ACTION ON PEACE, SECURITY AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION 2021_25

Kasese District Local Government is proud to present this five-year Local Action Plan (LAP), 2020/2021-2024-2025 on the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325. The development of the LAP has undergone several stages, from capacity building workshops, reviews by COACT and the district team, validation workshop and presentation to District Council for approval. This is a milestone in the sustenance of effort to prevent conflict and Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Kasese district.
The LAP is aligned to the District Development Plan and the National Development Plan and addresses current and emerging conflict issues including climate change and environment disasters, land disputes, ethnic and cultural issues, women’s participation in peacebuilding processes and GBV.
GBV and conflict are not new phenomena to the people of Kasese District and Uganda as a whole. Kasese has had and witnessed violent conflicts over the years but GBV is unique and needs immediate preventive measures since it touches the function of the family thus our everyday livelihoods.
Therefore, the LAP was developed at a time when Kasese district is considering community action as an alternative measure of dispute resolution thus the need to manage and prevent conflicts at community and family levels. We shall ensure a conflict sensitive environment and social cohesion as we promote e peaceful co-existence amongst the people of Kasese district.
We are grateful to the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD), Norwegian Embassy, UN Women, Coalition for Action on 1325 (CoACT) and Rwenzori Consortium for Civic Competence (RWECO) who supported us financially and technically through the entire LAP development process. We appreciate the District Local Action Plan Taskforce that worked tirelessly to make this plan a reality.

The District Budget 2020/21

A total of Ushs. 86,410,621,000 has been projected as total revenue for the FY 2020/21 compared to Ushs. 74,008,326,000 during
the FY 2019/20 representing a 16.8% increase in the revenue forecast. The district has projected to raise Ushs 5,277,935,000 from
locally generated sources compared to Ushs. 1,620,462,000 during the FY 2019/20 representing an increase of 225.7%. The
increment is mainly as a result of re-adjustments in projections in local revenue sources such as loyalties, inspection fees, property
related duties and LST. Central government transfers will increase by 13.1% in the FY 2020/21 compared to the FY 2019/20. The
projected Good performance during the FY is attributed to 1) increase in wage allocations in Education, Health and Production
sectors, 2) increase in pension, gratuity and pension arrears, 3) increased funding under in development mainly in Roads, Health,
Production and Education UGFIT for construction of Seed Schools, Increase in non-wage allocation to Education mainly for
maintenance of school infrastructure & capacity building of education stakeholders, additional grants to cater for recurrent costs,
and payment of LCs ex-gratia, and honoraria for councilors. Donor support is projected to reduce by 1.4% majorly due to reduced
commitment of Baylor towards Results Based Financing and DGF due to uncertainties surrounding the global pandemic of COVID
19 towards accountability related interventions across the district.

The plight of children in Kasese after the disasters

As the world celebrates World Day against Child Labor on June 12, 2020 under the theme, “Protect children now, more than ever before”, Kasese district will focus on the impact of the current covid-19 and floods crises on children.

While in the struggle to combat COVID-19, Kasese district experienced concurrent floods on 7th 10th and 20th May 2020 affecting 9,916 households, 48947 people, with about 80% of being children. In addition, the district has frequently faced long droughts which affect the level of production.

Unfortunately, because of the effects of the crisis on livelihoods, children are often the first to suffer. The crisis has the potential danger of pushing more of these already vulnerable children into child labor because most parents have lost their livelihoods and therefore unable to provide for their children, a situation that is likely to lure more children into child labor for survival.

According to the Senior Labour Officer Kasese, Karafule Swaib, “Already there is an estimated 25,000 children in Kasese engaged in child labor.”

These children are now at even greater risks of dropping out of school altogether or spend more time outside school eking a living.

Most children work because of household’s poverty to provide for food, shelter, clothing, school fees and scholastic materials (books and uniform)”

In Kasese child labour is found in agriculture, sand mining, brick making, store quarrying, boda boda, street and market vending, street children, fishing, maids, child marriage, prostitution and car washing.

To combat this vice, Sub-Counties and divisions should target households that supply child labor and link them with social protection services like UWEP, YLP, SAGE and Operation Wealth Creation (OWC).

The parents of children in child labour should take their children to free primary and secondary education (UPE and USE)

Or: Stakeholders at various levels should do more to senstise the families that produce child labour about the benefits of education and to re-orient the mindset about available education programmes like the Universal Primary Education (UPE) and the Universal Secondary Education (USE).

The Civil Society Organisations should initiate programmes like school feeding programmes and re-integration of children affected by child labour into the school system.

However, the ultimate answer to feeding day school children lies in the improving household food security so that families can properly feed their children before and after school and pack lunch for their children.
