As the country and the globe continues to grapple with issues of climate change, experts in the gender sector are urging all partners to always consider including minority groups equitably as they move towards combating climate change issues on grounds that they also contribute towards national and global development.
Delivering a paper on gender and equality inclusiveness on climate change issues Evans Jemba from the Equal opportunities commission confirms that whenever government and development partners are planning for the nation or drafting programmes most of the time these programmes are gender insensitive which exclude some sections of the population in the country and now the commission urges all partners to always consider drafting balanced programmes for the nation as far as gender is concerned.
Evans further notes that groups of women, children, youth, elderly, Batwa, Iki, Bamba among other groups are left out yet when negative climate effects manifest they are the ones highly affected. Since these groups are contributors to destroying the environment, they on the other side contribute to mitigating climate change impacts.

]]> President Museveni and theUSdeputy Secretary of State, William Burns have held talks on bilateral issues such as regional security, human rights issues and good governance.

 The talks between Museveni and Burns highlighted the strength of the bilateral partnership between US and Uganda on a wide range of  issues, including regional security and good governance and respect for human rights.

Burns is on a four nation Africa tour. The talks have also focused on the state of human rights violation in Uganda. Recently US warnedUganda government to stop violation of human rights particularly torture of opposition politicians and their supporters. For example Uganda police late last year confined FDC party leader, Dr Kizza Besigye, to his Kasangati home under colonial-era ‘preventive arrest’ legislation. Burns has told Museveni that he should ensure that his government protects the rights of allUgandacitizens, including minority groups.

Burns and his team from Uganda will visit Ghana, South Africa and also attend an African Union summit in Addis Ababa,Ethiopia.
