The study established the influence of school language policy on pupils' performance in the English language in primary schools in Southern Division, the influence of the availability of teaching and learning resources on pupils' performance in the English language in primary schools in Southern Division, and the influence of evaluation Techniques on pupils' performance in the English language in primary schools in Southern Division. The study employed a descriptive research design. The study sample included 92 teachers and 351 pupils drawn from 10 primary schools in Southern Division. Data collection was done using a questionnaire structured on a Likert scale. The collected data was analyzed in the form of descriptive statistics and findings were presented in tables. The researcher therefore concluded that the school policy on language helps to improve pupils' attitudes which in turn influences their performance in English. The research further concluded that the presence of learning materials was important in enhancing pupils' performance in English. Additionally, the study concluded that appropriate evaluation techniques enhance pupils' performance. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education should provide more training for teachers to improve their teaching methods. Moreover, the school management boards should ensure the provision of teaching and learning materials in the schools. The study further recommended that both the school administration and the teachers should work together to implement the school policy on language to help the pupils develop positive attitudes towards the learning of English.Item Open Access An Assessment of Landslides Occurrence and its Implications on Local Community in Ibanda Sub County Kasese District, Uganda(Kabale University, 2021) Agaba, ChrisThis study was about landslides occurrence and its implication on local community in Ibanda Sub County, Kasese District. Thus the general objective of this study was to examine landslides occurrence and its implication on local community in Ibanda Sub County, Kasese District, Uganda. The specific objectives of the study are: to determine the main factors responsible for causing landslides; to assess the effects of landslide threat on the local community; and examine the control measures employed by farmers in landslide prone areas. This study has examined the factors causing landslides in Ibanda sub county Location targeting 120 households. A total sample of 92 farmers representing 92 households was selected. Data was presented using frequency distributed tables, bar graphs, photographs and maps from various sources. Also content analysis was analyzed using qualitative techniques. From the study findings it was established that the main factors responsible for causing landslides in Ibanda sub county Kasese district were steep gradient of slope, climate change and lack of cover vegetation. The findings revealed that, first, human activities that caused landslides include deforestation in general and removal of vegetation on slopes, specifically excavation of the toe slope, loading of the slope, defective maintenance of drainage systems, water leakages from water supply and terracing on the slopes. Second, heavy rainfall, geology, soil thickness, deep weathering, fluvial erosion of slope toe are the geomorphological factors that causes landslide in the area. Thirdly is that the socio-economic losses due to slope failures are great, ranging from destruction of infrastructure, displacement of residence, loss of property and siltation of rivers. Fourthly, the study established that farmers have adopted some responses in regard to landslides such as afforestation programmers, and adhering to warnings given by local government to re-locate to a safer ground. From the findings, the study recommends that there should be sustainable communication and education to farmers on effective ways to mitigate landslides, implementation of policies on settlements, and penalties curbing deforestation. Future researchers should investigate the influence government policies have on human activities in landslides prone areas. Keywords: Assessment, Landslides Occurrence, Implications, Local Community, Sub-County, Kasese District, Uganda.Item Embargo Assessment of The Effects of Leadership Practice and Employee Performance in Organizations: A Case Study of Rugarama Compassion Projects.(Kabale University, 2022) Nuwahereza, ShallonManagement of people in organizations is part and parcel of the management process.

However, at Rugarama Compassion Projects, there has been friction between individual responsibility and role, as stated by the annual review report by Rugarama Compassion projects. The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of leadership practice and employee performance in organizations a case study of Rugarama compassion projectsItem Embargo Assessment of the Impact of Floods to the Local Community in Nyarusiza Sub-County Kisoro District.(Kabale University, 2023) Murengezi, InnocentThe study investigated the impact of floods on the local communities and developed policy options not only to mitigate flooding in communities of Kisoro District but also Uganda at large Nyarusiza Sub-county, Kisoro District. Specific Objectives included; identifying the causes of floods, identifying the impacts of floods on communities, and identifying the solutions to floods on communities in the Nyarusiza Sub-county, Kisoro District. The researcher used the descriptive research design as appropriate for the study because the study was concerned with finding answers to research questions about the study. The Population of this study comprised farmers and communities from the Nyarusiza sub-county whose property has been destroyed due to floods especially those in some parishes like Rukongi, Mabungo, and Gasovu who were 239 in number. The researcher used the Krejcie and Morgan table to determine the 148 who represented the whole study population. Data collection methods and tools used to collect data included questionnaires and interview guides. Descriptive analysis is used to determine the proportions and frequency of the variables. The results were presented in the form of tables and figures. The findings of the study on objective one revealed that the main cause of floods in communities is due to Heavy Rainfall. During this time, rainwater flows and is collected in dams. When this tired or collected water reaches beyond the storage capacity limit, it ends up in flood. Floods caused by rainfall usually occur at the flat areas in Nyarusiza sub-county plains causing flooding hence this accounted for 25(17%) of the respondents. The findings on the second objective revealed that the spread of Communicable Diseases is the main effect of waterborne diseases like cholera, typhoid fever, hepatitis, and leptospirosis in flood-affected areas. Floods also lead to vector-borne diseases, transmitted through parasites and pathogens such as mosquitoes. As a result, the health of flood, victims deteriorates as this accounted for 25(17%). The findings on objective three revealed that there is a need for a risk Assessment Plan hence creating a risk assessment plan should be a top priority when it comes to your business. Consider what needs to happen if there is flooding and get a plan of action in case employees are unable to make it to work. To prepare for a flood, consider an evacuation plan, as well as what items, materials, and equipment might be at risk, and how to best keep them safe during a flooding disaster. This accounted for 13(9%) of the respondents. The researcher concludes that the different coping mechanisms to seasonal floods adopted by people include among other considerations: the construction of flood protection embankments, the creation of water drainage canals, and maintaining hygiene.Item Embargo Assessment of The Quality of Borehole Water in Kanenankumba Village Hoima Municipality.(Kabale University, 2019) Tayeebwa, JoshuaThe purpose of the study was to assess the quality of borehole water in Kanenankumba village, Hoima municipality. The objectives employed were; to determine the physical and micro-biological water quality parameters, compare the obtained physical and micro-biological parameters with standard values outlined by WHO and also determine the local methods that can be employed to purify borehole water. The findings indicated that all the physical parameters met the standard requirements set for drinking water by WHO and the microorganisms (fecal coliforms) found present were enough to tell the level of contamination of the water. To eliminate the fecal coliforms in the water sample to a number acceptable by WHO in its guidelines, methods like boiling to 100" C and the use of household bleach were practically proven to be most effective during the study.
