The Implementation of Decentralization Policy in the Education Sector by Muni...ijtsrd
The examination of the relationship between efficient management of nursery and Primary schools and decentralization in relation to the implementation of decentralization policies in Cameroon by councils is what this study intended to ascertain. The study employed purposive sampling technique, to select the 50 head teacher respondents and 3municipal Mayors. Data which was collected by the use of a questionnaire and interviews as instruments of data collection were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS . The resultant findings did indicate that, there is a significant relationship between the council’s implementation of decentralization policies specifically the building, equipping and maintenance of classrooms by councils and the efficient management of nursery and primary schools, albeit being that the relationship that exists was rated weak. A resulting recommendation made was that the central level relinquishes sufficient resources for local councils, ensuring accountability and transparency in operations and instituting follow up mechanisms through supervision to ensure that local council authorities are effectively implementing the decentralization process as expected.

This report on Labour-related experiences of migrants and refugees in South Africa is part of the project “The Future of Work, Labour After Laudato Sì", a global initiative the connects Catholic-inspired and other faith-based organizations in order to help promote and implement Pope Francis’ encyclical in areas related to work. The initiative brings together international, regional, state and local actors to improve global governance and lift up best practices on these issues. The International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) has led the research track for this project on issues of “Jobs, demography and migration.” To that end, ICMC enlisted the Scalabrini Migration Study Centers (SMSCs) in New York, Manila, and Cape Town to examine the intersection of the future of work and labour through the lens of particular migration populations and from “person-centered” perspective.

An Exploration of the Programmes and Services Available To Victims of Trio-Cr...AJHSSR Journal
As a recently constitutional democracy, South Africa faces major challenges with the
enforcement of the rule of law and with guaranteeing the protection of the citizen‟s fundamental human rights.
Post-Apartheid South Africa is founded on democratic values and the Constitution enshrines a range of
fundamental human rights, including the right to freedom and security. In light of these provisions, strengthened
by international human rights jurisprudence, the South African government is accountable for the management
of crime, and requires policies, strategies and programmes to carry out this responsibility. This qualitative study
explores the nature and effects of the programmes and services available to victims of trio-crimes in the Durban
Metropolitan Area of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.Study findings suggest that there are programmes and
services available to assist and empower victims of trio-crimes in the Durban Metropolitan Area; and that such
programmes and services are provided by different organisations within the city. It also indicated that these
programmes and services are beneficial and effective, and they impact on a victims` life in a constructive and
positive manner. However, the study also highlight that these victim support systems are deeply reliant upon
volunteers for their execution

Fellow Ugandans,
I am delighted to engage with the readers of the Uganda Woman magazine once again.
I welcome you to the 2014 Independence issue whose theme is: “Women and Urbanization”. The
articles in this Issue provide information and flag opportunities as well as challenges of women in the
urban areas of Uganda. It is my prayer that stakeholders, including; political leaders, urban authorities,
planners, architects, investors and residents continuously address these issues within their jurisdictions
and mandates.
In the 28 years of the NRM leadership, we see a steady growth of urban and peri-urban areas: a sign of the conducive, secure, pleasant environment and the employment opportunities that have emerged from the economic growth and prosperity in our country.
Uganda is rapidly becoming more urbanised, with the current rate of urbanization standing at 5.7%,
annually. The estimated proportion of the population residing in urban areas is 23% of the total population.
It is, therefore, of strategic importance that the specific needs of the various categories of people working
and residing in our towns, are addressed. The women, children, youth, Persons with Disability (PWDs),
and older persons, deserve a secure, conducive and pleasant place to work and live in.
As we commemorate Uganda’s 52nd Independence Anniversary, we also celebrate the gains we have made in modernising our country, including improving the urban areas. For this, we appreciate the leadership of the President of Uganda, His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, for the vision and foresight to transform communities and the NRM Government for providing the infrastructure and services that attract people to urban areas. A case in point is the Kampala Capital City, whose transformation over the last four years has improved the image of Uganda and made us Ugandans very proud.
Next year, we shall mark 20 years of Uganda’s implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform
for Action, which is the global agenda for gender equality and women’s empowerment. The Millennium
Development Goals are also up for assessment and the goals of sustainable development are being
articulated. These processes provide an opportunity for us to plan for women to participate better in our
country’s development.
These initiatives should inspire us to look towards the future with hope and optimism that the urban
environment in Uganda will be ideal for men, women, boys and girls.
I wish all readers in Uganda and in the Diaspora best wishes and a joyous Independence Day 2014.
1. CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
THE 3rd INSTITUTE FOR AFRICAN TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE (IATJ)
“Prosecuting Crimes or Righting Wrongs: Which Way Forward?”
The Institute for African Transitional Justice is an annual week-long residential programme
designed to examine critical transitional justice issues in the context of Africa, and to catalyse the
development of African Transitional Justice systems.
The Refugee Law Project (RLP), School of Law, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda, in
collaboration with the African Transitional Justice Research Network (ATJRN), is now accepting
applications to its 3rd Institute for African Transitional Justice (IATJ), to be held from 17th – 23rd
March 2013, at the National Memory and Peace Documentation Centre in Kitgum, Uganda.
This year’s thematic focus will be: “Prosecuting Crimes or Righting Wrongs: Which Way
Forward?”
Recent years have seen several developments in the field of transitional justice in Africa, not least
an unprecedented rise in activity and influence of international criminal justice institutions. These
include the landmark verdicts for former Liberian president Charles Taylor and Congolese warlord
Thomas Lubango Dilo, issued by the UN Special Court for Sierra Leone and the International
Criminal Court (ICC) respectively. There has also been an expansion of the jurisdiction of the
African Court to include crimes against humanity and war crimes, and the possibility of the East
African Court of Justice petitioning the ICC to transfer the trials of four Kenyans to its own
jurisdiction.
However, research demonstrates that while formal “international” judicial approaches to
prosecuting crimes are important for ensuring accountability and combating impunity within state-
centric governance systems, victims often maintain broader expectations that justice will more
directly right the wrongs that have been done to them, and that these may be achieved through
such mechanisms as truth seeking, reparations, memorialisation, acknowledgement, reconciliation,
and guarantees of non-repetition.
The 3rd IATJ will explore these differences in perspectives on justice to be found in individual
victims, affected communities, state parties and international institutions. Participants will engage
in the critical dilemmas related to balancing the prosecution of selected perpetrators with broader
programs to heal the wounds of conflicts and the injuries of oppression.
Questions to be articulated and discussed include: What are the gaps and opportunities in current
approaches to international and domestic criminal justice processes for victims? If “international”
justice is truly international, why are African states attempting to limit the ICC’s jurisdiction? What
2. difference would it make for righting wrongs if the prosecution of international crimes took place at
the sub-regional or continental level? How can formal prosecutorial approaches to justice be
complemented by other mechanisms (most notably reparations, truth-telling, memorialisation,
traditional justice, etc.), and how can those mechanisms resonate with individual senses of justice
needed to foster individual, community and national healing? What are the categories of victims
and violations (physical, sexual, gender-based, economic, social, cultural) that must be addressed
in seeking justice? Where, when and how must these violations be remedied? How can individual
and community healing be achieved? How do courts determine who is entitled to reparations,
and how are differences in the nature of violations accounted for? How are reparations
implemented at the local, national and international level? What gaps exist, and what are the best
practices? How gendered are reparations programmes, and how can gender-based crimes be
addressed?
Target group:
The Institute targets researchers, graduate students, policy-makers, practitioners, and
humanitarian actors with an interest in the field of transitional justice, from Research Institutions,
Universities, Civil Society Organisations, NGOs, International NGOs, Regional Organisations,
Foreign Missions and United Nations’ Agencies, located in or with a particular focus on Africa. The
Institute hosts a maximum of 40 participants; therefore interested parties are encouraged to submit
applications promptly.
Methodology:
The Institute invites regional speakers and experts in the African transitional justice field to share
their experience in contextualising and “localising” transitional justice policies and practices, and in
drawing on local practice to influence “international” policy. Speakers draw on their analytical and
practical expertise to offer insights on the future and potential limits of transitional justice in post-
conflict communities, particularly in Africa but also beyond.
The Institute uses a combination of approaches, including lectures, review of documentary
footage, group exercises, interactive sessions, open space, and writing and reflection exercises.
These provide multiple opportunities for participants to engage with emerging issues related to
righting wrongs through transitional justice. Perspectives developed during the institute are
published in a book. The first publication “Where Law Meets Reality: Forging an African
Transitional Justice” is accessible at http://fahamubooks.org/book/?GCOI=90638100649880
Fee:
Participants from within Africa will pay USD 1050 (one thousand fifty US Dollars) and those from
outside Africa will pay USD 1300 (one thousand three hundred US Dollars). The fee covers the
course fee, cost of materials, full-board accommodation for six nights, and round trip transportation
costs from Kampala to Kitgum.
Scholarships:
There are a limited number of partial and full scholarships for strongly motivated applicants.
Preference will be given to scholars and practitioners originating from AU member states and
Morocco who are actively involved with African institutions and civil society organizations.
Applicants applying for a scholarship must write a one page statement of need.
