A successful HIV vaccine could provide long-term protection with a single or limited number of doses, simplifying adherence and reducing the need for ongoing interventions. </span></span></span></p></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px;"><p style="line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5;">A vaccine could help reduce the stigma associated with HIV by normalizing prevention practices.

Also, the pursuit of an HIV vaccine drives scientific innovation and contributes to our understanding of the immune system and infectious diseases: a case in point is the rapid development of vaccines for COVID-19, which drew heavily from HIV vaccine research. </span></span></span></p></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px;"><p style="line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5;">At the IAS, we believe that even when efficacy studies have not shown the desired outcomes, they offer valuable lessons and data that researchers can use to refine their approaches.

In Vancouver, Canada, <br />
The State Minister of Health for General Duties Sarah Opendi has
said Uganda will be free from Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) by
2020.<br />
Opendi said 37 districts have attained the targeted disease elimination status and mass treatment was stopped.<br />
According to World Health Organisation, NTDs a diverse group of
communicable diseases that prevail in tropical and subtropical
conditions in 149 countries.<br />
The diseases affect more than one billion people and cost developing economies billions of dollars every year.<br />
Populations living in poverty, without adequate sanitation and in
close contact with infectious vectors and domestic animals and livestock
are those worst affected.<br />
“In December 2018, the district of Moroto, Nakapiripirit and
Nabilatuk conducted their last round of mass treatment and the ministry
is the process of conducting final impact assessment and this will
mark the end of treatment in the country ,” Opendi
said.<br />
Speaking at a side event during the Women Deliver Conference at
Vancouver Convention Center in Canada on Wednesday, Opendi said Trachoma
is the leading infectious cause of blindness in Uganda which is caused
by a bacterium.
<br />
She said 11 million people in Uganda were at risk of being infected,
yet Trachoma can be prevented by treating everyone living in the
affected districts and performing surgeries.<br />
She also said Uganda is paying keen interest to refugees from South
Sudan and every refugee is routinely examined and educated on hygiene
to avoid the reoccurrence of the disease that have been eliminated in 37
districts.
<br />
She mentioned the most affected districts as Kotido, Moroto, Abim,
Napak, Kaabong, Nakapiripirit, Amudat, Jinja, Mayuge, Iganga, Bugir,
Namayingo, Namutumba and Kaliro.<br />
Others are Kamuli, Luuka, Butebo, Budaka, Buyende, Lira, Alebtong,
Otuke, Dokolo, Oyam, Amolatar, Gulu, Omoro, Amuru, Nwoya, Kitgum, Lamwo,
Pader, Agago, Buliisa, Masindi, Kiryandongo, Nebbi, Zombo and Adjuman.
<br />
She said the most common NTDS in Uganda as Bilharzia, River
Blindness, Trachoma, worms, sleeping sickness, Kala Azar, Elephantiasis.<br />
The minister said Uganda has applied for certification of trachoma
elimination from the World Health Organisation, which will see the
country achieve a free country of Trachoma.<br />
Opendi said the Ugandan government through the ministry of health
runs an integrated programme with ministries of agriculture, local
government and education for control and elimination of these diseases.<br />
“Trachoma, River Blindness, Elephantiasis and Sleeping Sickness are
targeted for elimination by 2013 while the target for Bilharzia and
Worms is under control and reduce the disease burden,” she said.<br />
She said Uganda is also on the right track to eliminate elephantiasis
which was originally in 53 districts protecting 16,491,275 people from
acquiring the disease.<br />
“This year, the remaining six districts have been treated and will be
assessed in 2010. We anticipant that they will stop treatment,” she
said.<br />
She said the government has been to achieve a huge milestone in
eliminating NTDs because of the Village Health Teams that have been
involved in identifying the affected people and training their
caregivers.<br />
Dr. Mwele Malacela the Director of Department of Control of Neglected
Tropical Diseases at World Health Organisation said almost 56 million
of girls and women are affected by bilharzia in sub-Sahara Africa, while
220 million in the world need preventive
measure of which 90 percent live in Africa.<br />
Sika Bella Kabore the Burkina Faso First Lady said poor communities
who have specific public health needs are affected by the NTDs that are
not covered by standard national packages of health and policies.<br />
She called for an intensity in prevention saying the number is worrying and must be addressed.<br />
The First Lady also said people especially women and women who live
with NTDS are also at risk of other diseases like HIV / AIDS among
others.<br />
“Throughout their lives women and children are disproportionately
affected by NTDS, they battle will intestinal worms which affected their
ability to learn and enjoy childhood,” she said.
<br />
“Girls are not treated of bilharzia, in childhood, will have an
increased risk of anemia due to menstruation and they will also face
challenge after becoming pregnant,” she said.<br />
Natasha Wang Mwansa a younger leader of Women Deliver asked
governments to increase funding for NTDs and involve young people in
sensitasation and prevention of NTDs.<br />
“Let us face it, money is tough to come nowadays. When we have
limited resources we need to ask the difficult question of how we can
maximize the reach of each dollar and the impact of NTDs on the
wellbeing of women and girls,” she said.</div>

When I was young, my step mother never believe that a
girl can go beyond senior two in education. In fact she tried to
influence my father to marry off, and being a judge has been the Grace
of God. This was part of the testimony Lady Justice Linda Lillian
Tumusiime Mugisha of Industrial Court told the gathering of Old Girls
of Trinity College Nabbingo on Saturday, during a dinner held at Golf
Course hotel, in Kampala.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Mugisha
who is also an Old Girl of Trinity College Nabbingo, joined the rest of
old girl to fundraise for the construction of Trinity Junior School,
under the theme:"Appreciate, Celebrate and Enhance Girl Child
Education".</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
She said she her school fees was paid by nuns at Nabbingo, who valued the girl child education.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
"
I lived in a convent, the sisters provided for me even with sanitary
towels an important commodity in the lives of girls. Many girls have
dropped out of school due to lack of sanitary towels, I thank God, He
sent me mothers who provided for me," she said.</div>
<div dir="auto">
She
asked other old students to always go back to the communities to get
girls from the grassroots, mold them to ensure they get knowledge,
education and skills in order to compete in the world of work and also
learn to run and manage businesses.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
"So
many girls who are intelligent are in the community without an option
of getting education. I appeal to you all to give back to the community,
educate a girl child and give her skills to enable future women sustain
themselves," she said.</div>
<div dir="auto">
She contributed sh 500,000
towards the construction of Trinity Junior School and pledged a monthly
contribution of sh 500,000 for the next four years.</div>
<div dir="auto">
She also pledged to educate one of the less privileged girl from senior one to six six.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Cotilda
Nakate Kikomeko the chairperson of Trinity Junior School, said they are
looking for sh1.4b to construct the school to feed into college and
fight illiteracy in the country.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Agnes
Igoye the commondant of....... said the school gave them a whole life
and direction in their lives and not just cram work but practical skills
that have enabled them to succeed.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
"The
were tough not to settle for less, that confidence, trust and
leadership skills have made us competitive women in the world," she
said.</div>
<div dir="auto">
Igoye who is also the founder of
Rehabilitation Center for Human Trafficking, said the vice is real and
affects girls and women more than their male counterparts.</div>
<div dir="auto">
"Human
Trafficking is real and lives with us. Unfortunately it affects girls
and women more and we need to fight it to the end by sending and keeping
our girls in schools and ensuring their complete their education," she
said.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
By Hope Mafaranga</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has made new changes
in the institution’s dress code, which includes uniforms, badges, berets, rank designs,
insignia, decorations, accessories and pips.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The changes were endorsed by a meeting
of the Army Council and the UPDF High Command, chaired by President Yoweri
Museveni at State House, Entebbe, after the UPDF dress code committee submitted
a report on the rationale of the changes.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The UPDF dress code committee said it has been working on the
dress code changes since 1996.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The UPDF on September 18, this year, published a general
notice number 1,013 of 2019 in the national gazette communicating the changes.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
“The public is hereby informed that the marks, accessories,
insignia, decorations and uniforms specified in the schedule to this notice are
property of the state or classified stores and anyone found in unlawful possession,
selling or dealing in them shall be prosecuted under the Uganda People’s Defence
Forces Act, 2005,” the notice in the Gazette stated.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
It adds: “Members of the<span>
</span>public are hereby informed that unless granted authority by a competent
military authority, it is prohibited to; (a) sell, offer or expose for sale or
use any uniform of the defence forces; (b) manufacture, sell, offer or expose
for sale, wear or use any uniform so nearly resembling the uniform of the Defense
Forces and is likely to deceive the public; or (c) wear or use any decoration supplied
or authorised for use by any member of the defence forces or any decoration so
nearly resembling that decoration and likely to deceive the public.” A<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
According to the Uganda Gazette, the new UPDF dress code has the
following: tunic, ceremonial wear, Kaunda suit, tuck-in and battle camouflage
dress codes.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The changes, army officials say, have been introduced to enhance
command, control and discipline within the rank and file of the UPDF to enable
the public identify the officers easily. <span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b>To Harmonize the EA <span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The changes were also made in order to conform to the harmonization
requirement of the East African Protocol on defence affairs.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Brig. Richard Karemire, the UPDF spokesperson said the new
changes in the UPDF dress code have been welcomed by the UPDF High Command and
Defence Council.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
“The standardisation of the dress code is no doubt a step forward
in the modernization and professionalisation of the UPDF. It will be a vital
tool in identifying the different forces while enforcing command and control,”
he said. <span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Explaining the rationale behind gazetting of the dress code,
Karemire said it gives UPDF ownership rights of the new uniform and the changes
therein.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
“Gazetting will further act as a deterrent to unauthorized use
and access. From a regional perspective, as we integrate, standardisation of
the dress code brings the UPDF closer in harmony with other armed forces of the
EAC partner states,” he said.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The current rank symbols and pips on the UPDF uniforms are
different from those of other East African members, which brings confusion in
identification of Ugandan armed forces by their peers within the East African
Community.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
For instance, a general’s pips are assigned two stars, which
makes him look like a major general before peers in the region.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span> </span>Now, the changes will
see a General with four stars like it is with other East African armies.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b>Opposition rejects
the changes <span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The red beret, according to new uniform changes, is a preserve
of the military Police section of the UPDF, navy blue for air forces and maroon
for Special Forces Command (SFC), a move the opposition have rejected.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span> </span>The leader of the
political pressure group Power and the Kyandondo legislator Robert Kyagulanyi (
Bobi Wine) said the government <span> </span>gazzetted
the red beret to kill their popularity of <span> </span>red hats and they are stealing their band.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
“ We are not going to allow this to happen to gazette our
red beret. I know the government’s intention is to ensure that they arrest our
supporters who will be found wearing our popular beret because its now gazetted,”
he said.<span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
He said they will challenge the gazette in courts of law. <span class="HOEnZb"><span style="color: #888888;"><span></span></span></span></div>

Health workers who steal government drugs are responsible for some deaths- Minister Aceng<br />
<br />
By Hope Mafaranga<br />
<br />
The minister of health Dr. Jane Aceng has said some of the deaths that happen in Uganda, have been contributed by health workers who steal government drugs from health facilities.<br />
<br />
<br />
The minister made the remarks on Friday during the launch of a $10.3 million Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system at the National Medical Stores (NMS) headquarters, Entebbe in Wakiso district.<br />
<br />
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded the 5 year ERP system software that will be used by NMS to manage procurement, warehouse management and drug distribution.<br />
<br />
The system will also help health facilities to manage daily businesses including accounting, procuring and ordering drugs from NMS and project management.<br />
<br />
The disappointed minister said, it was so sad and painful to see people die as a result of drug shortage yet government procures them to save the lives of Ugandans only to be stolen at the health facilities.<br />
<br />
“Government buys the drugs to treat Ugandans for free, but a lot has been getting lost at the health facilities by the custodians,” she said.<br />
<br />
Dr. Aceng said her ministry will do what it takes to prosecute health workers who steal drugs and hold them accountable.
She said the ERP system is one of the measures they will get to know who has been robbing government drugs and causing unnecessary deaths of Ugandans.<br />
<br />
“When a health worker steals drugs that are meant to save someone’s live, it causes drug stock outs in health facilities.<br />
<br />
The health worker directly sentences the patient to death. Now we have the system in place and we need to know who is stealing the medicines and we shall deal with them accordingly,” she said.
She also advised the health workers to go back to their core code of ethics and standards of practice of saving people’s lives.<br />
<br />
The US Ambassador to Uganda Deborah Malac reaffirmed the US government’s commitment to improving the supply chain system in Uganda.
Malac said over the years, the U.S. government has provided significant support to Uganda to improve health for thousands of people.<br />
<br />
She said last year, the U.S gave more than $500 million, making it the largest single donor to Uganda’s health system.
She disclosed that the fund has assisted more than 10 million Ugandans get tested for HIV, contributed to the largest-ever distribution of insecticide treated bed nets in the world and more than 700,000 women have safe deliveries in health facilities.<br />
<br />
The ambassador said the launch of the ERP was the latest milestone demonstrating the strong partnership between Uganda, US and other stakeholders to accelerate Uganda’s progress towards an effective and sustainable supply chain system.<br />
<br />
“An efficient and effective supply chain is a component for providing Ugandans access to quality health care in order to lead a healthy and productive life,” Malac said.<br />
Malac said her government was impressed with the way NMS has managed $27 million commodities that they provided over two years to fill the important gap in antiretroviral (ARVS) drugs.<br />
<br />
She however noted that getting drugs to over one million Ugandans living with HIV/AIDS in many health facilities across the country is a formidable challenge that calls for better health systems.<br />
<br />
“These drugs are a matter of life and death for the people who need them and no matter how different the logistics, we must succeed in delivering them,” she added.<br />
<br />
Malac said the ERP system will provide a viable solution for improving the public sector’s over all transparency, accountability, forecasting and management of health supplies.<br />
<br />
She asked the NMS staff and to manage the system well in order to benefit Ugandans and do its intended purpose.<br />
<br />
“Managing this new system is not a matter of simply installing new software on some computers, it is an entirely new way of doing business which requires changing organisational processes and managing the change throughout the supply chain,” she said.<br />
<br />
She commended the ministry of finance for its commitment in financing the health sector and the local government which she said plays a critical role in the supply chain cycle and puts the drugs and commodities into the patient’s hands.<br />
<br />
She however asked the Ugandan government to increase its funding for health sector.
The NMS general Manager Moses Kamabare said the system will eliminate the use of paper work and saving health facilities huge amount of money they have been spending in delivering hard copies of their drugs and other medical supplies orders.<br />
<br />
Kamabare said the ERP system will also help health actors including the health in-charges to monitors drugs right from the manufactures, to the NMS stores and delivery of drugs to their respective health centers.<br />
<br />
“ Because the health in-charges will be able to see the supply chain from the manufacturers, to our stores, to the time when the drugs are loaded to truck to their areas, it will wipe out the negative mentality that NMS were supplying empty boxes to health centers and drugs that the health centers did not ask for,” he said.<br />
<br />
Dr. Diana Atwine the ministry of health permanent secretary said the system will silence politicians who always claim that government is doing nothing towards improving the health of Ugandans.<br />
<br />
“Health is one of the of leading agendas politicians use to discredit government. The ERP system launch is timely as we near election campaigns, politicians will have nothing to say about the poor health service delivery as this system will help us to tract, monitor, account to the people and increase transparency,” she said.<br />
<br />
The launch was attended by the NMS Chairman of the Board Dr. Jotham Musinguzi, the Kabarole district health officer Dr. Richard Mugahi, former Mbarara municipality MP Dr. Medard Bitekyerezo among others.

Three decades into the epidemic, it remains clear:
<b>HIV and AIDS doesn't discriminate; People do. </b>
Since AIDS first appeared, we’ve made considerable progress in reducing new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths. But our lack of progress in combatting the epidemic of stigma, discrimination and social exclusion undermines our efforts addressing the diagnosis of HIV, and treatment and care of people living with the virus. The persistence of stigma in the context of HIV also causes immense human hardship and diminishes us as a global community.
Since the beginnings of the HIV epidemic, there has been a tendency to conflate stigma and discrimination. However, while the two are related, they are also distinct.
Stigma is a social phenomenon that elevates certain groups over others and steadily devalues entire groups of people.
Yet, looking back on the past three decades of the epidemic, hope remains: HIV also gave rise to resilience, spirit and determination.
So how do we, the HIV community – people whose lives are touched by HIV professionally or personally, who are living with HIV, who are vulnerable to HIV or who know someone affected by HIV – move beyond rhetoric to action in getting to the heart of stigma?</strike>Hope Mafarangahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08420666470282593913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267158350872612924.post-71772202617448355642019-02-13T00:32:00.003-08:002019-02-13T00:32:58.587-08:00Fuelling the Global FundFuelling the Global Fund
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced the fundraising target for its next 3 year replenishment cycle “The single most important public health measure of 2019.
The investment case was launched in Paris by French President Emmanuel Macron and calls for US$14 billion of donations largely from national governments in wealthy countries to cover the Global Fund’s sixth investment period of 2020–22.
The $14 billion is just part of an estimated $83 billion that needs to be spent to fight the diseases over the 3 year period, most of which will come from domestic government budgets in affected countries.
The full investment case will be presented at a meeting in New Delhi, India, on Feb 8, 2019, and France will host the Global Fund’s Sixth Replenishment Conference in Lyon on Oct 10, 2019.
The Global Fund was established in 2002 to support affected countries in controlling HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, and to bring the best science and management practices to bear on the diseases.
Since 2002 there have certainly been major reductions in deaths and disease: the Results Report published on Sept 12, 2018, claims 27 million lives saved as the result of partnerships in which the Global Fund has invested since its launch -ie, a fall by one-third in the number of deaths.
In 2017 alone, nearly $4 billion was invested in partner countries, with 17•5 million people on antiretroviral therapy to treat HIV/AIDS, 5 million people treated for tuberculosis, and 197 million mosquito nets distributed.
Maintaining this progress is vital to end the three epidemics as public health threats and meet Sustainable Development Goal 3—health and wellbeing for all—by 2030.
There are, however, challenges to be faced in staying on track towards the 2030 target. Although HIV/AIDS is gradually being brought under control via a treatment-as-prevention approach based on antiretroviral therapy, there is a risk of the response losing momentum, as discussed in our January, 2019.
Deaths from malaria have stopped declining, there has been a recent year-on-year increase in cases, and control is complicated by emerging resistance to insecticides and to artemisinin-based treatments.
For tuberculosis, incidence of new cases is falling at about 2% per year, well shy of the 4–5% needed to bring the epidemic under control by 2030, and drug-resistant disease (more than half a million new cases per year) is a growing threat. Political challenges must also be overcome for the next round of Global Fund replenishment to be a success.
The USA has historically been the biggest donor, providing nearly a third of contributions. But at a time when the US administration seems more concerned with building barriers between people than uniting them, the future level of contribution remains uncertain.
The Trump administration has requested $925 million for the Global Fund in 2019, down from $1•35 billion in 2018, but Congress usually provides more than the president requests, and the administration has said that pledges to the Global Fund are a “smart investment”.
The UK has been the third largest donor (about 9%), but although the government commitment to keep international development funding at 0•7% of gross national income remains for now, while the country’s politics is preoccupied with the self-inflicted wounds of Brexit nothing can be guaranteed.
Even the commitment of France, the second largest donor (12%), cannot be taken for granted at a time of national popular protests against the policies of Macron’s government.
Perhaps it’s time for the governments of rapidly growing economies to take up some of the slack from traditional donors.
Sachs and colleagues suggest that China, a former recipient of Global Fund support but now the world’s second largest economy, should become a donor.
These authors also suggest that to achieve its targets the Global Fund should be asking for at least twice the $14 billion it has requested, and that this gap in funding should be filled by donations from the pockets of the world’s billionaires.
Such broad philanthropy seems unlikely, except for a few enlightened individuals among the super-rich and their foundations.
Nevertheless, at the very least the current level of support for the Global Fund needs to be maintained or we risk losing the gains that have been made, in which case the money will eventually have to be spent again.
The Global Fund estimates that every dollar it spends brings $19 in health gains and economic returns—that seems a worthwhile investment in anyone’s terms.

The International AIDS Society (IAS) has announced that San Francisco,
California, in partnership with nearby Oakland, will host the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://iasociety.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D3746d12bbc6932846a58d505c%26id%3D777ab80d63%26e%3D354a9990b9&source=gmail&ust=1521190052610000&usg=AFQjCNHdql1HdxXjhgZrdRtr7iwekdhqQA" href="https://iasociety.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3746d12bbc6932846a58d505c&id=777ab80d63&e=354a9990b9" style="color: #ed1c24; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">23rd International AIDS Conference</a> (AIDS 2020).<br />
<br />
To find the best host for each International AIDS Conference, the IAS
conducts an extensive, open-bid process that begins 18 months before a
decision is made. For AIDS 2020, we engaged more than 20 cities across
the world, starting in 2016.<br />
<br />
Our process involves an extensive evaluation that determines each city’s
ability to house the meeting and its delegates, commitment to
supporting scientific research and implementation, and inclusion of
civil society and communities living with HIV in their local response.
Each city is required to represent a cross-section of policymakers,
scientific researchers and civil society as part of the bid.<br />
<br />
It is always our preference to represent different geographies in
hosting the International AIDS Conference. For many years, we were
fortunate to identify willing government and community partners in
resource-limited settings that allowed us to host the meeting while
maintaining our commitment to access for people around the globe. For
AIDS 2020, only cities in the global North completed a bid application.
Even after direct engagement from IAS staff and site visits to potential
hosts in the global South, we did not receive any applications.<br />
<br />
This is understandable. Being selected as a host city for the
International AIDS Conference is not a reward; it is a recognition that
there is something particularly unique and challenging about the
epidemic in that setting. It is a commitment by conference organizers
and local partners to shine a light on strengths and weaknesses in the
response. For a variety of reasons, including political climate, not
every country is willing to make this commitment.<br />

Measuring the success of that ban, researchers from the University of Stirling in Scotland will present the study: <strong><em>The impact of a tobacco point-of-sale display ban on youth in the United Kingdom: findings from a repeat cross-sectional survey pre-, mid- and post-implementation</em></strong><strong>.</strong><br /><br />There have been growing concerns amongst tobacco control practitioners around the trend towards the manufacture and marketing of flavoured cigarettes to young adults. The impact of such a trend is the focus of a study by Brazilian researchers: <strong><em>Use of flavoured cigarettes in the first few puffs: a step toward smoking initiation and nicotine addiction? Data from a national survey among Brazilian adolescents.</em></strong><br /><br />The emergence of data on the economic impact of tobacco smoking at the country and individual levels is vital too for policy making and both are addressed in the study <strong><em>Individual cost of smoking in a study population (US)</em></strong> and in the study<strong><em> Economics of tobacco control in Nigeria: modelling the fiscal and health effects of a tobacco excise tax change (Nigeria).</em></strong><br /><br />“The high quality of the science being presented in Cape Town comes at a pivotal moment in tobacco control,” said <strong>Professor Harry Lando</strong>, Chair of the 17<sup>th</sup> WCTOH Organising Committee. “On the one hand we will see research being presented confirming the astounding public health progress made to eliminate smoking over the past decade but challengingly, we will also see research on trends that are currently shaping the future battle lines of tobacco control on a global scale.”<br /><br />“For the past 50 years, WCTOH has been the premier international forum on tobacco control and this year’s event – the first to be held on the African continent – is expected to attract over 2,000 researchers, scientists, civil society, healthcare professionals, policymakers and media representatives from more than 100 countries. Tobacco use is the world’s leading preventable cause of death killing more than seven million people each year,” said <strong>Dr Flavia Senkubuge</strong>, President of the 17<sup>th</sup> WCTOH.<br /><br />The conference will also feature a number of key sessions focusing on the upcoming challenges for tobacco control. The opening plenary session, <strong><em>Priorities for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1750924451" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tomorrow’s</span></span> Tobacco Control Agenda and Sustainable Development</em></strong> on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1750924452" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday 7 March</span></span> will feature Head of Secretariat for the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) <strong>Dr Vera Luiza da Costa e Silva. </strong>And on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1750924453" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday 8 March</span></span> – International Women’s Day – WHO Regional Director for Africa, <strong>Dr Matshidiso Moeti</strong> will be joined by <strong>Dr Lorraine Greaves</strong>, Senior Investigator at the British Columbia Centre for Excellence on Women’s Health, for the second plenary which will discuss <strong><em>Women, Development and Tobacco Control.</em></strong><br /><br />While tobacco use is decreasing in many countries, evidence has shown that smoking rates in Africa are anticipated to rise dramatically. By 2030 the number of smokers in the region is projected to increase by 40 percent from 2010 levels, unless there is significant intervention. Africa continues to be aggressively targeted by the tobacco industry, as it represents an opportunity for considerable market growth.<br /><br />“It is highly significant that the WCTOH is taking place on the African continent for the very first time – in many ways the region is a test case for the future direction of tobacco control and its ability in the coming years to rein in aggressive interference from Big Tobacco,” said <strong>José Luis Castro</strong>, Executive Director of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union), the WCTOH Secretariat.<br /><br />The theme of the conference is <em>Uniting the World for a Tobacco-Free Generation </em>with an overarching focus on expediting progress to reduce tobacco use in all populations around the world – using new research and innovative approaches in public health, as well as powerful but under-used policies, including tobacco taxation and those aimed at preventing industry interference.</td></tr>

<b> By Hope Mafaranga </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2004, when the vanilla prices dropped in Uganda, many
farmers abandoned the crops.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However a
few in Bundibugyo district, in western Uganda never gave up planting it,
despite the unexpected drastic fall in the farm-gate prices of vanilla.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

kept Amon Matte 32, a resident of Bumara village, Bumate parish, Harugare
sub-county in Bundibugyo going.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said many farmers
saw the fall in price as a curse that was leading them to poverty.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Many of my colleagues considered the fall in vanilla
prices as a big misfortune and a bad omen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They even advised me to quite but I was thinking ahead and I knew that
the condition would not be permanent," Matte said.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What kept him going? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The senior<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>four drop
out and a father of four says,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>positive
attitude kept<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>him going , adding that he
had had<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>banana plantation in Mbarara,
Kabarole and Bushenyi , which was affected by the banana bacteria wilt but kept
on growing more matooke.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He said the price fell from sh 150,000 per kilogramme to sh5,
000 which discouraged many who had invested in their money from growing it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"I drew my strength from some of those farmers who never
gave up on banana growing. I persisted and kept away from people who were
discouraging me from growing vanilla," he said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He even laughed at people who were cutting and abandoning
Vanilla farming, saying they lacked a vision at that time and now they are
panicking because the price has gone up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"The price has reached sh 100,000 per kilogramme, you
move in the villages and see how people are rushing to replant vanilla.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagine Vanilla takes three years to mature
and by the time it grows, I would have harvested a lot of money and I will be
definitely ahead of them," he revealed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Matte treats his vanilla farming as a permanent job.
"After realising that this is a life time job, I gave it time because is
where I get money to feed my family," he says.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vanilla on demand </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He says the price has been stabilising, attributing it to
the current improved quality of seed, which are being harvested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also says that
Ugandan vanilla attracts a higher international price because it is organic and
farmers do not use any ferlisers due to its fertile soil and relatively good
weather. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
" I and many of my colleagues in vanilla growing do not
use artificial fertilizers in our<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>vanilla garden and our vanilla is organically grown and because of this
it has a high vanillin content and excellent aroma, which is the most preferred
on the world market," he said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He also attributed the high demand of Ugandan Vanilla to its
poor harvest in Madagascar one of the leading vanilla growing countries in the
world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"The quality of our vanilla beans is of high quality
compared to that produced in other vanilla-producing countries like
Madagascar," matte who owns three acres of vanilla said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How to plant vanilla</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Matte explains you
dig a one feet and plant a three feet of vanilla veins and cover part of it
with little soil then leave about two feet that you tie on the pole (
ekisoga-soga) to support its growth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After three weeks,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>the garden is covered with grass (mulching) to prevent the weed from
growing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vanilla can only be
intercropped with matooke, which Matte says also provides a shed for the
vanilla.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He says it not advisable to use a hoe in a vanilla garden
because the roots are almost on top of the soil, to avoid cutting them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNNWXotiGSwuc8ZSDVwcXp6rs3OgSMsnOH5QRNXDNzVs1vqg1AkUWk2zWLVdw7FKAZ1aIKfqBLOYtkHiHbDIEnZwvhet2hkUsawmbhHvr5R74XpOqYBWR4EjMU771ohFa-CqFCrGD0e8/s1600/Matte-in-his-garden.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="469" data-original-width="700" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNNWXotiGSwuc8ZSDVwcXp6rs3OgSMsnOH5QRNXDNzVs1vqg1AkUWk2zWLVdw7FKAZ1aIKfqBLOYtkHiHbDIEnZwvhet2hkUsawmbhHvr5R74XpOqYBWR4EjMU771ohFa-CqFCrGD0e8/s320/Matte-in-his-garden.gif" width="320" /></a>"You have to use a slasher and every time you slash you
must mulch so that you cover the roots and shield them from the sun," he
advises.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said in order for
the vanilla to have enough space and sufficient sun and nutrients, farmers
should only plant 1,500 plants. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"If you plant more than 1, 500 veins in an acre, you
suffocate them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Vanilla needs to be
spaced well so that you get many green and health beans. This is also good
because when the beans are healthy, they are heavier which means a farmer gets
more kilogrammes from a plant," he says. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Investment </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Matte, who has three
acres of vanilla has invested in farming since<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>adding that one has to wait for three years to start harvesting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In his three acres,
he has 4,500 plants and 4,500 supporters (bisoga-soga). He said he buys each
veins of vanilla at sh 2,000 meaning he injected sh 9m and he buys the
bisoga-soga each at sh700 making it sh 3.1m.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also spends on
slashing and mulching which he does twice a year at cost of sh 500,000.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Matte also say he pays security personnel about sh 1.5m a
year to guard his vanilla from thieves. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Averagely I spend about sh 14m a year but this is
nothing compared to what I get from it," he says.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Money</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to Matte, he takes care of his vanilla well and
each plant is able to give him<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>seven
kilogrammes, in terms of money a plant makes sh 1m.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Market </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Market is not one his challenges , he<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>sells his vanilla to Esco Uganda limited and
Ndali Company ltd<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that exports it to
other countries.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Challenges</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only challenge he has are thieves who sell his green
beans. He says this also affects the quality of vanilla because the thieves
steal it when it's not mature sells it lower prices.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tom Ndyanabo the Red Cross Bundibugyo manger also added his
voice to Matte saying that many farmers had left vanilla growing which posed a challenge
of vein (seeds) multiplication.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ndyanabo said<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>because
of the demanded they have come up to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>mitigate it by distributing<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2,550
vanilla veins to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>40 groups with support
from Belgian Red Cross due<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in order to
boost farmers in the district.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Due to the incre</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ased demand as a result of increase in
vanilla prices, farmers<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are now going
back to grow the crop but they do not have the veins to plant," he
said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chairperson of
the Rwenzori Vanilla Association, Elisha Matte Kajumba, said because of the
current demand for vanilla and the increasing prices most people who did not
grow vanilla are stealing from other people's farms.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He said this has forced the farmers to sell immature vanilla
to avoid losing their entire crop harvest to thieves.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maj. Alex Baguma the operation wealth creation liaisons
officer at the ministry of agriculture, animal and fisheries said government is
currently rolling out vanilla production in Uganda.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Vanilla has not been on the list of priorities which
we have been championing but we have asked the ministry of agriculture to
ensure that farmers are supported in the next financial year because it is on a
very high demand and the market is ready," Baguma said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He said about 40 districts in Uganda are now actively
growing vanilla, reducing the production strain on Mukono and Bundibugyo.</div>

If the president signs it into law, it will consolidate all
regulatory frameworks that facilitate the safe development and application of
biotechnology by establishing a competent authority, designating a national
focal point, a national biosafety committee, institutional biosafety committees
and also providing mechanisms to regulate research and the general release of GMOs.<br />

Biotechnology is a technique that uses living organisms or
substances from living organisms to have or modify a product, improve plants,
animal breeds or micro-organisms for specific purposes. Biosafety means safe
development, transfer, application and utilisation of biotechnology and its
products. While presenting the report of science and technology
committee that studied <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the Bill, the
chairperson, Kafeero Ssekitoleko said <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uganda
has no specific law regulating the development and use of modern biotechnology,
it had, on the other hand, ratified a number of international treaties, such as
the convention on biological diversity in 1993 and the Cartagena Protocol
Biosafety of 2001. </div>

“Our scientists are working for Uganda to own its patents and
technology so that we are not obliged to foreigners,” Sekitoleko said.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bill gave a green light to the Uganda National Council
for Science and Technology (UNSCT) as the competent authority for biotechnology
and biosafety that will approve the development, testing and use of GMOs.</div>

Dr. Peter Ndemere also Executive Secretary of UNCST said
biotechnology is very critical with many exciting products being developed

Prof. Yaye Gassama, the former Minister and Vice-chair Senegal
Academy of Science said biotech has set deep roots in lives of people, causing
new paradigms. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We need to capture this favorable momentum to communicate
the benefits of biotech,” she noted. Christopher Kibazanga the state minister of agriculture, said<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the sector plays a central role in in
economic growth, development and poverty alleviation in Uganda which is key to
why ‘Vision 2040’ and the National Development Plan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Kibazanga stated that the majority of the Ugandan population
depends directly or indirectly on agriculture which has a huge potential to
transform Uganda’s economy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Describing the country’s biotech research capacity, the
minister said institutions like National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO)
and Makerere University among others are producing important novel technologies
to improve farm productivity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He said such technologies should be promoted adding that
ignoring such research and innovations would mean nullifying the efforts of the
country’s scientists.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Citing some of the ag-biotech research on-going in the
country especially on key food security crops such as cassava, banana and
maize, Kibazanga said there was evidence from research conducted by NARO
showing that modern biotechnology can be used to address some of the most
difficult constraints in crop and animal agriculture.</div>

Yoweri Museveni recently signed into law a bill criminalising Female Genital
Mutilation ( FGM), the cruel practice where young girls are subjected to the
knife in the remote villages of Bukwo District in Eastern Uganda. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But while the new law is now operational, it is
completely a different story in these remote parts of the country where
preparations for the next round of female circumcision are well underway.</span></div>

although there is a new law criminalising female Genital Mutilation, very few
people in the village knows about the law. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He said because of the high levels of illiteracy and
the strong traditional beliefs about this cruel practice, the communities are
in advanced stages of holding yet another season of subjecting young girls to
the knife - a practice carried out to initial them into adulthood.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Although literate parents fear the new law against
FGM, many traditionalists and illiterate parents are already preparing for the
new season. And I believe many of the parents will do it stealthily-possibly at
night or across the border in Kenya,” Matek said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A traditional surgeon and now an advocate against
FGM with Reproductive Education and Community Health programme, an NGO that
spearheaded the law against FGM, Mary Shellum says there is need for
mobilisation and sensitisation of these communities not only about the new law
but the health dangers they subject their children to.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“This new law against FGM can only be effective if
the people are sensitized fully about its intention which is to save the lives
and dignity of these young girls. Otherwise many people don't known about it
and are likely to take their girls to be mutilated during the new season,"
says<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shellum in a resigned tone.</span></div>

killing etc but don't people commit these crimes? We need a lot of
sensitisation and government should fund this and provide adequate security to
ensure that nobody crosses the borders to Kenya to go and get circumcised,” she
emphasises.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Joyce Munanda also an advocate against FGM who got
circumcised in 1968 says whereas during the 60s it was considered to be a good
traditional practice to the extent that young girls would cry in order to
persuade their parents to take them for initiation and avoid being shunned and
laughed at by the boys. She says the new law should be respected. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The law says any person who performs, promotes FGM
through any means violates the human rights of a woman and as such commits an
offence and shall upon conviction be liable, where no other penalty is provided
in other laws of Uganda to imprisonment of up to five years, a fine or both.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Apart from putting in place a law banning FGM, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Munanda says the government should consider
providing an alternative source of income for the traditional surgeons in an
effort to have them abandon the practice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What is worrying, however, is that even the
traditional surgeons don't know about the new law. “Nobody has told us to
abandon this culture inherited from our ancestors to keep the morality of our
girls,”Lazaro Chelimo, 68, a traditional surgeon in Kabei village says.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“This year I have two daughters prepared to be
circumcised. I have started the preparations for the girls' initiation into
adulthood. Nothing is going to stop me from circumcising my daughters because
their mother, grandmother and sisters have undergone this,” Chelimo said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“What does the law say about our culture? Should we
abandon the culture of our ancestors? Get out of my home; I don't want to see
you. You must be one of the people campaigning against this. Tell others that
the Sabiny will circumcise their girls as culture demands,” Chelimo said before
asking this writer to leave his home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Chelimo is just a representative of the many parents
who are preparing for the April cultural days. But according to the Bukwo
District population officer and FGM researcher, Simon Alere, the rural
residents have no information or knowledge of the law.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“There was a time the parliamentary committee on
gender came here to talk about FGM but they only addressed us and the
councilors. But in the villages people are asking how the law was passed
without consulting them. This is the dilemma we are facing,” Alere said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Alere, people are saying the law is harsh, unfair and needs to be
amended, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Howevr the LC5 Kapchorwa
district, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nelson Chemonges is happy that
the law has been put in place.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“For us this is a wonderful idea, the long journey
to end this practice has started. I can now sit here with relief and say that
the first step is over. The next one is to bring all people on board through
sensitization. I know it is not going to be easy to drop the practice but we
have to ensure it does not take place here," Chemonges said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But Beatrice Chelangat of the Reproductive Education
and Community Health (REACH), a community based NGO established in Kapchorwa to
improve the reproductive health conditions and discard the harmful practice of
FGM says sensitization has taken place and people are aware.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">"We have seen FGM surgeons denounce the
practice and hand over their implements to REACH and this means that parents, traditionalists
should denounce the practice join REACH to end it or face the law,” Chelangat. </span></div>
