A Reporter’s Guide to Energy and Development
(uuuu, 2025-04-17) jjjj
Many countries rich in natural resources exploit and squander that wealth to enrich a minority while corruption and mismanagement leave the majority impoverished. Breaking that pattern is difficult. Because of their resource wealth, such coun tries do not have to borrow money from multilateral lending agencies that insist on fiscal transparency and good budget practices. The world’s leading democracies, dependent on importing oil, gas, or minerals, often have little appetite to use diplo matic pressure to demand better fiscal practices from resource-rich countries. And multinational energy companies, which depend on good relationships with host governments to allow them to continue extracting natural resources, are also unlikely to press for good economic management

Experiences of Community Participation on Social Inclusion of Elderly Individuals Living With Disabilities in Atutur Village, Kumi District
(Uganda Christian University, 2025-03-12) Rita Anyait
Elderly individuals living with disabilities face significant barriers to active participation and inclusion within their communities (Bigby et al.., 2019; Simplican et al., 2020). In the context of Atutur Village, Kumi District, there is limited understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by this vulnerable population when it comes to meaningful community engagement. Previous research has highlighted the importance of community participation in enhancing the social, emotional, and functional well-being of elderly individuals with disabilities (Levasseur et al., 2019; Portegijs et al., 2020), but little is known about the specific attitudes, perceptions, and lived experiences of this group within the Atutur Village setting. The exclusion of this population from community life can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and marginalization (Nicholson, 2012; Santini et al., 2020), understanding the need to identify the key hindrances to their participation and develop targeted interventions to foster greater social inclusion. This study aims to address this critical knowledge gap by exploring the perspectives of elderly individuals living with disabilities in Atutur Village, with the goal of informing community-based approaches that empower this vulnerable group to actively engage with and benefit from the resources available within their local context .
