The African union mission and peace building in Somalia: a case study of Mogadishu
(Kampala International University. College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-09) Abdikadir Mohamed, Abdi
The peace building functions by Africa Union is one of the good efforts towards retaining peace in Somalia. Somalia has experienced turmoil for so many decades. The peace buildings by AU are caught up by many challenges. The main one been funds to facilitate the functions. Though those challenges are there, the study has found out that, the AU has really tried to calm down the war. The research also wanted to find out the intentions of AU towards those functions, but it can ascertain that they are positive. The objectives of the study are to investigate the role of AU in peace building in Somalia. The roles of AU can be classified as positive. If the AU had enough funds towards these functions it could have done tremendous job. The other objective is to examine if the citizens of Somalia are benefiting out of these functions by African Union, the answer to that is yes, because it has been witnessed as majority of Somalia citizens who were refugees going back to their country. The linkage between peace building functions and peace keeping operations. So the study can conclude by saying, unlike other Unions with hidden agendas in aiding other nation the African Union has none. The study used structural conflict theory as a theoretical framework. The bases of this theoretical framework are on issues of competition of resources. Every individual is struggling to have resources. This issue led to people fighting each other because of resources, as a result they ended up killing each other. This issue of competition for resources it has made the functions of peace building by African Union very complicated. Those who acquired resources unjustly are against peace building for the fear their resources will be taken away. The key finding of the study is that the institutions of Somalia need to be strengthening if not to re-made a new. These institutions like Judiciary they must be there to collect the injustices which are there in Somalia. To add on that the issue of funding also needs to be looked at. Issues of funds have made the functions of peace building in Somalia complicated. All nations need to be supporting the nations in conflicts like Somalia Finally the research conclusions are that, for the peace building functions to be successive they need the contribution of every individual, that is the individual from Somalia and also the outside countries

(Kampala International University, School of law., 2019-05) Epulu, Moses
This research study aimed at the assessment of the challenges of regional integration in Africa focusing on the New East African Community. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the political Factors Promoting EAC Growth and Development, to examine the extent to which the East African countries are prepared to achieve full integration and to identify the possible solutions to the various constraints. The research adopted the transformative mixed approach. This provided for a framework for topics of interest, methods for data collection and outcomes or changes anticipated by the study and involved sequential or a concurrent approach. The targeting population of the study was selected randomly and included 150 individuals. Sample sizes of 109 respondents were selected. The study used both primary and secondary data collection methods including document review and interviews. Data were collected using questionnaire surveys and employed a face to face interview methods as well as documentary review. The researcher used face-to- face interview with the employee from Uganda Ministry of East Africa Affairs, Commerce and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassies of Tanzania, Kenya, South Sudan, Rwanda and Burundi in Uganda. The study found out respondents’ biographic data based on their sex, age, education level, marital status and time spent in the community and experience. Findings in this study showed that that overall mean rating for political factors influencing development in the EAC region was computed at 73.6%, which is relatively modest. The analysis has indicated, however, that the following factors are showing a positive path to progress in political integration. These factors received a rating of 75% and above. One of these is the fact that there is an enhanced sense of East African identity, developing from modern communications. The study identified that there is no single approach that can wholly describe and prescribe the progress of the EAC integration process. It finds, rather, that a mixed theory approach is more effective, where various theories describe and prescribe the EAC integration at various stages of the process, Despite this finding the study concludes that the political will might be high at the highest level but the rest of the levels do not fare as well. To accelerate the process of integration, investments on basic infrastructure such as railways, roads, electricity and access to water need to be prioritized in order to connect the region as well as providing favorable conditions for commerce to thrive. Difficulty in the movement of people, goods and services create a hindrance to the process of integration. Nontariff barriers create such a hindrance and hence the EAC should strive to completely eliminate them. The study recommends the development of a legislative fi’amework (laws, policies and guide lines) for Community Development within partner states. Harmonization of democratization policies, processes and practices. In doing so, the EAC should embrace policies on human development, social benefit, and protection, across the region. This would enable EAC member states realize a common identity, a feature that is prerequisite for integration in the region. The East Africa citizenry needs to be informed and educated more about the integration process. The EAC secretariat ought to conduct massive civic education programmes around East Africa for the public to know how they can get involved in the process. It will as well inform them of the benefits to them and the huge opportunities that lie in an integrated East Africa.

(Kampala International University; College of Humanities and Social Science, 2018-04) Abdifatah, Noor K.
The study sought to examine the constitutionalism in promoting democracy in Kenya. The study objectives were; to assess the effect of recognition and protection of fundamental rights and freedoms on democracy in Mandera County, Kenya, to examine the effect of separation of powers on democracy in Mandera County, Kenya and to examine the effect of independent judiciary on democracy in Mandera County, Kenya. The research design was of a cross sectional survey. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to collect data. This enabled the researcher to get divergent views on the subject. Through qualitative methods, the respondents’ attitudes, behaviours and experiences were captured. The researcher used quantitative methods such as questionnaires and structured interviews to gather large scale data, in a relative manner. The population of the study used a total population of Mandera County which is 1,025,756 as indicated in by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (2009). However since sonic respondents were not accessible. The researcher targeted 114 respondents within the County. The sample size of 104 respondents was calculated using Solven’s formula. The researcher used varieties of sampling which included: Purposive and random sampling. Data was collected from primary and secondary sources using questionnaires and interviews. After collecting data, the researcher organized well answered questionnaire, data was edited and sorted for the next stage. The data was presented in tabular form, pie charts and bar graphs with frequencies and percentages. The study findings revealed that 28(6.98%) indicated that they strongly agreed with the statement that “In Mandera County. There is a failed judicial system affecting constitutionalism and democracy” 3 8(36.5%) agreed with the statement, 29(27.9%) were undecided, those who disagreed and strongly disagreed were 5(4.8) and finally 4(3.8%) of the respondents strongly disagreed. This means that the guardian of the constitution and the protector of human rights and the impartial enforcer of the law failed as required by judicial arm of the government. The study concludes that the recognition of the right to form and/or join political parties of one’s choice and to vote or to be voted for any political office in the post—1990 African constitutions is fast becoming an illusion because the dominant parties that have now replaced the single parties and their leaders have easily entrenched themselves or their parties in office in perpetuity. The study recommends that to achieve an inclusive constitution writing process, it follows that the drafting body should include representatives of key power holders and social groups.

(Kampala International University,College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-02) Okuno, Denis
This research project was formulated by the Author after extensively undertaking a career in refugee issues for a period of more than twelve years now. The study focused on the two distinct variables of the contribution of non-formal skills education acquired by refugees in Uganda and how these skills attained by the refugees have made a contribution on the livelihoods of the refugees in Uganda. The examination of this statement by the Author of this research is done in the conceptual framework of the study and the supported by the findings of the study as generated during the collection of the data and this will be discussed thoroughly in the subsequent chapters of this report. This study combined qualitative and quantitative lenses in that key informant interviews were conducted with staff working on the refugee programme within government and the nongovernmental organizations to support the generation of information as per the specific objectives of the study and the research questions. Household questionnaires were also administered through conducting interviews with the respondents who have acquired skills in non-formal education supported by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees and its partners. Sample size selection was conducted; cluster sampling was adopted mainly targeting the Congolese refugees because of the homogenous nature of their settlement in the selected parishes of Lubaga DiVision such as Nabulagala, Katwe where most of these live. From the findings of this study, there was considerable evidence from the respondents that the non-formal skills education and training acquired have made significant contribution on the livelihoods of refugees in Uganda as later argued out using the different independent and dependent variables of this study. Therefore drawing from the specific objectives of this study, the findings significantly highlight that non-formal skills education varies in terms of the skill acquired by the learner and in turn this skill has potential to make a lasting impact on the livelihood of the learner as will be shown in this report.

The geopolitics of access to oil Resources: The case of Uganda.
(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-07) Ntalo, John
Fourteen years ago, Uganda joined other sub-Saharan African Countries with new discoveries of oil; and just as the case always is, this news comes with high prospects for development and economic transformation. These ambitious projections are always based on the success stories of oil money in other countries without prr:judice to the fear of the infamous oil curse that results from poor exploitation of oil revenues. With these aspirations at hand, Uganda has clearly stated in its national polices and development plans the fact that the country's development in the next 30 years shall be largely dependent on exploitation of its natural resources- such as oil.

(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2016-09) Athuc, Rhoda
This study investigated about international organizations and promotions of children's rights in Afiica with a case study of UNICEF in South Sudan. The study was guided by the following objectives: i) to assess children's rights abuses in South Sudan, ii) to analyze the role of UNICEF in promoting and protecting children's rights in South Sudan, iii) to identify the challenges faced by UNICEF in promoting and protecting children's rights in South Sudan, and iv) to assess South Sudan border relations with neighboring countiies and refugee influx. The study adopted both case study and cross-sectional design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The sample size included 127 respondents detern1ined from a sample population of 200 participants using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table. However, only 84 participated in the study, giving a response rate of 66%. The results indicated that children's rights were highly abused in the on-going South Sudan conflicts, among which included sexual violence, lack of education, recruitment by both anned and rebel forces, abduction, maiming and killing. However UNICEF was also found to play instrumental roles in the areas of promoting education, child protection and gender equality in the education. Given these effo1is by UNICEF, a number of challenges such as insecmity, lack of funding, inaccessible areas due to poor road infrastructure, and under staffing have been hindering factors to the perforn1ance of UNICEF in South Sudan. Fmihern1ore, the study found that border relations of South Sudan with Ethiopia and Uganda were good and therefore South Sudan had no problem with its neighbors since they were the largest receivers of refugees from South Sudan. The study therefore recommended that: There is need for the international donors to support South Sudanese authorities to ensure that children are quickly released from forces, reintegrated into civilian life, and provided with education services and where necessary, psychosocial suppo1i in accordance with the international Paris Principles, guidelines for the release of child soldiers; The need to provide funding to ensure that mental health and psychosocial support, considerations are addressed and mainstreamed in the planning, implementation and monitoring of all humanitarian response activities; and The need for the warring parties to ensure unimpeded access by the humanitarian organisations to children affected by the conflict.
Masculinity and experiences of sexual violence: case study of male Congolese refugees in Kampala Uganda
(Kampala international international: College Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-06) Shallon, Tushemereirwe
Yearly, Uganda receives many refugees, Sexual violence remains one of the reported incidences among those who seek asylum in Uganda, especially from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Though many organizations have tried to tackle the issue of gender-based violence where sexual violence is regarded as a major form, little is known about male refugees who are victims of sexual violence. This study explores how the masculine identities of the male Congolese refugees who have experienced sexual violence have shifted and considers their struggles to overcome trauma. Using a case study of Congolese male refugees, this study will indicate the importance of recognizing sexual violence and the damage it creates to their sense of self health and livelihood, and perhaps rethinking the problem of sexual violence from the point of view of men as victims. Through gathering the true stories from the men themselves, and from social workers (psycho-social counsellors), medical practitioners, care-takers and close relations, this study explores an area that has been under-researched in the past. This study found out that the psychological experiences sexually abused men go through are in some ways similar to those the women experiences, and even more than women sometimes, though men tend not to express themselves. The findings clearly illustrate the complex social construction of men’s sense of masculinity and how the dominant notions of masculinity has prevented these men from speaking out this issue to those around or working on their behalf. Their main coping strategies so far were found to be silence, isolation and denial of their experiences of sexual violence. This silence has hampered such men as victims from receiving the support they needed to overcome deep damage that sexual violence left them with, Also, men did not have a place in some organizations’ record-keeping on cases of sexual violence. Therefore the study suggests that those in charge of supporting refugee men could learn from approaches to masculinity which is seen as shaping men’s behavior as victims and agents, hence influencing their responses to trauma and care.

The third objective was to make policy recommendations that will contribute to effective protection of Human Rights by parliament of Uganda. The study recommended to the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights that instead of sitting in parliament and receive complaints, they must also reach out to ordinary Ugandans deep in the remote villages and listen to their abuse concerns, by doing so they will be protecting human fights.

Secondly, Government of Uganda to start funding private organizations working for the promotions working and defending of Human Rights in Uganda. Lastly, security personnel working with security agencies should be taught at least basic knowledge about Human Rights so that they can stop brutal arrest of suspects.
