Home Search Official Participant Interview : 2.Uganda For many countries, Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan will not only be an opportunity to show their culture and lifestyle but also to learn from other nations and share ideas within the global community. Uganda is one country looking forward to participating in the Expo with that in mind. "We not only plan to show the cultural diversity of Uganda, but we come to learn also, with our eyes and ears wide open," says James B. Baba, ambassador of the Republic of Uganda to Japan. "It's going to be a big learning experience, sharing ideas and seeing how people live elsewhere in the world with the resources nature has given them." James B. Baba Ambassador to Japan The Embassy of the Republic of Uganda Uganda's exhibit will focus on how the African country markets its resources and lives in harmony with nature. In the past, expos usually served as a means to export to international markets, but this time "we are keen to let the world know what products, services and natural resources we have in Uganda," says the 58-year-old Baba. Japanese-Ugandan ties go back to the early 1960s. Uganda had an embassy in Tokyo in 1973 but it was twice closed. It was permanently reopened in 1984. Before coming to Tokyo in October 2001, Baba served in Congo, Denmark, Ghana and China as well as a stint as deputy permanent representative to the United Nations in New York where he focused on poverty eradication, HIV/AIDS and sustainable development.

Bicycle Africa East Africa Programs Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya EAST AFRICA ADVENTURE East Africa offers a potpourri from anthropology to zoology; pearls of geological wonders, renowned wildlife, tantalizing environmental diversity, motivated rural economic development, modern urban centers and specimens of the oldest known human fossils. This is the land so eloquently described in the writings of Karen Blixen ('Out Of Africa'), Beryl Markham ('West With The Night') and dozens of other writers. Splitting the highlands of East Africa is the 3000 mile long Great Rift Valley. The same powerful forces that split the earth set the stage for the diverse habitats that not only support the big game animals, but also nurture more species of birds than any similar sized area on earth. Equally fascinating are social forces in the region a long history of highly organized kingdoms, shifting indigenous populations, centuries of trade with seafaring Arabs and a far shorter but intense period of European colonialism. Bicycle across beautiful steppes and scenic plateaus, past lakes, lush green forests and hills, and countless traditional villages. Bicycling is restricted in the game parks (for good reason) so vans are used where necessary on the program. These programs are run January-February or July-August-September and can be in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Rwanda and Burundi (

108. Uganda - ICOMOS World Report On Monuments And Sites In Danger 2002: Heritage @ R Decline in cultural practices specific examples from uganda. The AIDS epidemicin uganda has caused a decline in the importance of rites of passage/rituals http://www.international.icomos.org/risk/2002/uganda2002.htm

Cultural Implications of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic and the Need to Preserve Our Oral Traditions* HIV/AIDS is the most serious health problem in Uganda today and the leading cause of death for adults. About 1.5 million people are estimated to be infected with the HIV virus (Uganda AIDS Commission Secretariat, Uganda National Operational Plan for HIV/AIDS/STD Prevention, Care and Support 1994-1998). Nearly 80% of those infected are between the ages of 15 and 45. Statistics reveal that sixteen African countries south of the Sahara have more than one-tenth of the adult population aged 15-49 infected with HIV. Oral traditions refer to that knowledge which is transmitted orally over several generations in a given society. They may be in the form of riddles, songs, proverbs, legends, folktales and recitations, which constitute the intangible heritage. These traditions are a means of teaching societal values and beliefs, and are, therefore, integral to the culture of a particular society. Clearly, culture is transmitted from generation to generation. In the case of Uganda, it is not so much the generation that possesses oral traditions that is endangered. Rather it is the generation onto whom the elderly would pass the information that is at risk. With this endangered generation (15-45 year olds), a generation gap is created that poses a future threat. In other words, this endangered generation is getting wiped out and this causes a discontinuity in the transmission of their societies' traditions to later generations.

The Cultural Contexts of Ebola in Northern Uganda A Preliminary Report 15 March 2001 Barry S. Hewlett Washington State University Vancouver, WA 98686 USA hewlett@vancouver.wsu.edu INTRODUCTION This report describes preliminary findings of a social-behavioral-cultural study of EHF in Gulu,, Uganda. To my knowledge it is the first behavioral study of EHF and the first time a behavioral scientist has participated in a WHO-directed international response team to EHF. The recent special issue on Ebola in The Journal of Infectious Diseases does not have one article on the behavioral aspects of the disease, but WHO technical guidelines for responding to EHF state: Those conducting epidemiological surveillance must be instructed on how to administer surveys for accurate information and how to ensure the proper information and education of and co-operation from, case household members and the affected community. Special attention must be given to the actual perception of the outbreak by the community. In particular, specific cultural elements and local beliefs must be taken into account to ensure proper messages, confidence, and close co-operation of the community. Given the lack of previous research and an interest by WHO in these issues, the research aimed to: 1) describe local explanatory models of EHF; 2) better understand behavioral topics of concern to WHO (i.e., burial practices, fear of patients to seek treatment at the hospital, the role of traditional healers in disease transmission); and, 3) identify local and international beliefs and practices that enhanced or were detrimental to the control of EBF.
