“…There is also concern that individuals may 'follow' suggested preventive measures in ways that do not mitigate the spread of COVID-19. For example, although masks are reported to be widely used in Kampala, 20 they are often worn inconsistently and incorrectly--for example, not properly covering the nose and mouth, or resting on the chin. 21…”

“…Although the front doors of clubs were closed, the back doors were often open for 'lock-ins', where patrons who could afford it paid the club to open for them. 20 There have been media reports that police officers who are supposed to enforce bar closures instead patronised the bars. 36…”

“…51 Where there is compliance with preventive measures, it is often because people fear punishment rather than because they have adopted these measures as a new way of life. 20 However, there are significant gaps in the data to explain people's experiences of the government's enforcement of COVID-19 preventive measures, which presents a challenge to fully understand the impact of trust and confidence on adherence.…”

“…17 These leaders are a 'fresh' source of information that can overcome some of the pandemic fatigue. 20 Trusted influential leaders can help facilitate a shift away from riskier norms and traditionsfor example, to replace hand-shaking with waving or fist bumping, to limit burial group sizes, and to forego the laying on of hands when praying for the sick.

This brief sets out key considerations for risk communications and community engagement (RCCE) to promote adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures in greater Kampala, Uganda. It looks at adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures, assesses the challenges to their adoption and outlines key considerations for partners working in RCCE and the wider COVID-19 emergency response. The brief responds to concern (as of March 2022) about COVID-19 transmission in informal urban areas in Uganda due to their high population density, limited sanitary infrastructure, and reported low uptake of vaccination. Ensuring effective communication and engagement with a series of preventative measures is essential in limiting the spread of COVID-19. The Ministry of Health and response partners have been proactive, however interventions and guidance for COVID-19 have taken limited account of social science research about the perceptions and practices related to COVID-19 regulations. This brief aims to address this gap so these data may be used to inform more effective and practicable guidance for vulnerable groups. This brief draws primarily on an analysis of existing scientific and grey literature. Additional primary data was collected through consultation with six social science and RCCE experts who focus on this geographical area. The brief was requested by UNICEF Uganda in consultation with the Uganda Ministry of Health (MoH) RCCE subcommittee and the RCCE technical working group for the Eastern and South Africa region (ESAR). It was developed for SSHAP by Theresa Jones (Anthrologica) and supported by Elizabeth Storer (London School of Economics), with contributions and reviews by colleagues at Anthrologica, the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), UNICEF ESARO and Uganda, Makerere University, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Dreamline Products and the IFRC.

According to literature millions of the people under the globe depend on the pension funds as their principal sources of income at their retirement age. This study adopted a descriptive design to examine the determinants of financial performance of pension funds in Tanzania. The study uses regression analysis approach to examine the effect of determinants on financial performance of pension funds. Data were collected from National Social Security Fund (NSSF)’s financial statements for the period from 2005 to 2022. Different tests were employed such as normality test, heteroscedasticity test multicolliniality test and autocorrelation test in multiple regression modelling. The findings from this study revealed that investments and contribution density have a positive relationship to return on assets. However, the age of the contributors has depicted a weak and insignificant relationship to the return on assets of the pension fund under investigation. Therefore, it is recommended that the pension funds have to put more efforts on its investments as well as contribution density which are key contributors to the financial performance of pension funds in Tanzania.
