The present National resistance movement establishment has for the past three decades steered in relative peace and made substantial changes in the direction of democratic unification through numerous political transformations including but not limited to the re-emergence of multiparty representation during elections of 2006, 2011 and 2016. Nevertheless, the expression and existence of electoral violence in these elections presents a disturbing inconsistency to Uganda's entitlement to democratization as well as generating hypothetical confrontational aftermaths in Uganda's previously difficult and confusing political past. The objective of this study is to present a thematic presentation of this problem through specifically identifying the types, causes and manifestations of electoral violence, the impact these have on Uganda's democratisation process and to explore strategies that may strengthen Uganda's multiparty democratic system. The study achieves this through using a conceptual framework of electoral violence framed over the case studies of the 2006, 2011 and 2016 multiparty general elections and using the documentary review method. The findings conclude that electoral violence manifested as both an isolated phenomenon aimed at subverting electoral outcomes as well as a form of greater political conflict generated out of frustrated political goals and a lack of a democratic culture. The conclusions suggest a need for implementation of a wide range of civic education programs and the strengthening of democratic institutions these can help Uganda move towards a genuine consolidation of democracy and foster the development of a non-violent culture in Uganda's electoral affairs.

The fertility rate in Uganda declined from 6.9 to 5.4 children per woman between 1995 and 2016, respectively. In addition, age dependency in Uganda has recorded a significant increase from 97% to 101% from 1996 to 2014. This chapter is based on a study which examined the effect of demographics and population growth on social change in Uganda and specifically determined the effect of age dependency on school enrollment, established the effect of the total fertility rate on the labor force, and examined the effect of population growth on the proportion of seats held in parliament with bias on women. The study was guided by an exploratory research design under the confinement of quantitative approaches and used secondary data. The results indicated that the age dependency ratio has a significant positive effect on female enrollment in tertiary institutions (P-value < 0.05), age dependency ratio has a significant and positive effect on male enrollment in tertiary institutions at a 5% level of significance, the total fertility rate has a significant negative effect on female labor force (B = -1.618, P-value < 0.05), the total fertility rate has a significant positive effect on male labor force (B=1.410, P-value < 0.05), and there is a positive and significant effect of population growth on the proportion of seats held by women in national parliament (B = 0.825, P-value < 0.05). The study concluded that there is a need for more effort to fight dependency among the Ugandan population in order to enhance both male and female enrollment in tertiary institutions; government and development partners should design programs and interventions to fight the rising total fertility rate because it affects active female involvement in the labor force; and there is need to implement more programs that foster women participation in parliamentary elections. The government should set up more programs and interventions that support people in unproductive age, especially those above 64 years; the Ministry of Education should address barriers that limit female enrollment in tertiary institutions and should effectively implement its policies, i.e., gender in education policy which promotes gender equality and girl child education.

Semi structured interviews were conducted with 19 employees of Kitezi landfill between June and November 2013 and they shared their lived experiences of the landfill daily tasks, sustainability ,achievements,mainteanance of infrastructure, control, treatment and monitoring of leachate, quality control, achievements of landfill under KCCA ,continued challenges and recommendations. Results show relatively high pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Conductivity and extremely low Oxidation-Reduction Potentials (ORP) for Leachate and its path through Bitarabeho's Farm.Though proud of their contribution for a period of over 10 years, , they were concerned about their long term health outcome.The lived experiences provided rich
