Q And A Forum: Establish an Ombudsperson For Proper PEPFAR Value For Money Practices

-

HIV Prevention in Uganda where KP-led organizations are empowered with skills to steer response is commendable. 

Let us start with all KP-led organizations declaring assets of individual executive members. 

It enables actors to judiciously conduct value for money activities. 

The four way test approach

  1. Ensure that you separate your personal expenses from the organization expenses. These are not like gin and tonic but rather like water and oil.
  2. Draw an activity plan to follow daily, weekly, monthly, mid-yearly and end of year.
  3. Generate an inventory of your personal assets that you have had before you got PEPFAR funds for running the organization.
  4. Share this inventory with the chief finance controller or ombudsperson as an accountability best-practice.
We hope this will be a baseline best-practice that will then steer organizations toward realistic HIV-Response. 

 Hold KP-led Organizations accountable.

All the best.

What are the symptoms, & how is it diagnosed? The symptoms of herpes depends on the site of disease: Oral herpes (cold sores): Sores around the mouth and nostrils. They may itch or be painful. They might look like the sore in this picture: Genital herpes: Sores on the penis in males or near or in the vagina in women.

Hacked To Death: Kawere Fahad 21 Years Dies From His Wounds

Driven, young, restless and focused begins to describe Kawere Fahad 21 years.  Rest In Peace! Wakiso District, in the Central Region of Uganda is very important to Uganda as DC is to USA or Buckingham is to UK. This area has the biggest number of schools per land size, the oldest Basilica in Africa, real estate hub and is the dormitory District for many urbanites in Uganda.  It is in this area that one finds such suburbs like Kayunga and Nansana. These suburbs never go to sleep!   One would expect that this metropolitan profile puts it at a place where murder cases are investigated and deterred by police and communities. And that assailants are stopped in their tracks before they delivered a deeply bruising or fatal blow. But this was not the case for Fahad Kawere. KGN has learnt that Fahad and a first batch of friends had a meeting which went up to around 2:30 am (1st August 2019). After the meeting, Fahad got a message and told this...

At a male ward, in Kakuma Camp Hospital lie several refugees beaten rather brutally and some in need of specialized care. The excessive use of force by the Camp Security is uncalled for. It is a crime against humanity. This is Christmas time. A time when we are all merry and jovial. However, do these refugees know that it is Christmas time? Refugees are not "mistaken identities" or some statistic warranting impunity! A tweet from Refugee Independent Support Organization (RISO) in Kenya purports to a disturbing piece of information. Refugee Independence Support Oganization-RISO @RefugeeRiso  Vision: A quality life for all humans irrespective of status and belief. "Rwenjura Nathan an LGBTI refugee member who was brutally beaten by the GOK death squads and homophobes in Kakuma refugee camp, he is critically very sick and fighting for dear life. His sad condition has brought tears to Fellow refugees in Kakuma who are not sure of his survival." A sourc...
