Abstract

Purpose: This investigation stemmed from the need to support women living with HIV/AIDS using community approaches of business partnerships and women empowerment as opposed to government-and private sector-led support. Research Methodology:  This study adopted systematic sampling techniques for data collection from 123 women living with HIV/AIDS from a designated health center in Kabale Municipality. Women taking ARVs were identified from the points where they were collecting their ARVs, and were given questionnaires after consenting to participate in the study. Results: Women empowerment increased decision-making power, while business partnerships decreased dependence on male partners. Women empowerment increases support for women living with HIV/AIDS compared with business partnerships. Business partnerships, as observed in this study, draw weak relationships from many women living with HIV/AIDS. Women empowerment programs that cut across all age groups are effective in supporting vulnerable women living with HIV/AIDS. Limitations: This study encountered the challenge of interfacing with the respondents, since the information was collected by those in charge of the drug distribution center but not the researchers, and these affected in-depth investigations. Women accessing HIV/AIDS do not want to be identified because of stigma within the community. Contributions: From a public health perspective, designers of intervention programs to support women living with HIV/AIDS should consider inclusiveness in design, driven by age categorizations. Designers of intervention programs to support women living with HIV/AIDS should target business partnerships among low-income earners to reduce vulnerability.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the connection between Kabale District Local Government (KLDG) staff retention and organizational performance. Research Methodology: A correlational study design with the goal of reporting on the connection between staff retention and organizational performance in the local government of the Kabale District. A sample size of 96 respondents was chosen from among the 142 division personnel and staff in the sub-counties that participated in the survey. A survey consisting of questionnaires and interviews was conducted to gather data. Results: The degree and intensity of the association between employee retention and organizational performance were determined using a correlation analysis. Qualitative data derived from interviews were documented and categorized verbatim. When the influence of the work environment was considered, the study discovered a very weak link between employee retention and organizational performance. Limitations: This study was conducted to cover employee retention and employee performance in one district, and the results cannot be generalized. Contribution: The study suggests that the Kabale District Local Government (KCLG) needs to make improvements to its workplace to encourage staff members to remain with the institution. The district should follow established protocols, including local government, public financial management, and public service standing orders.   An independent investigation of the contribution of policy execution to the achievement of organizational objectives in Ugandan local governments is also warranted.
