Resolving the Challenges of Rujumbura in Rukungiri district of Uganda
Rujumbura county has been a troubled area for a very long time and the situation is getting worse. More time and resources are being wasted on character assassination and intimidation at the expense of economic and social development, hence high levels of unemployment, poverty and the associated adverse social and environmental consequences – under-nutrition, alcoholism, crime, violence and extensive de-vegetation with adverse hydrological and thermal conditions – rising temperatures, irregular rainfall, falling water tables, drying rivers and spring wells as well as deteriorating soil quality and declining food productivity.
