IMI EXPERIENCE ON REFUGEES
IMI experience on refugees showed that Economic Migrations was made possible by globalization whose forces of demand and supply were felt by every country. The economic insecurities made the possibilities of migrations even stronger as it was only way to survive poverty. ‘Nationalism’ was exhibited as a natural aggressive reaction to new comers, which without leadership EMs risked being injured or killed for the fear of altering control and benefit of available economic opportunities. Sustainable Development was made possible by tolerant and accommodating leadership that took advantage of the working age of EMs to generate revenue in form of tax while at the same time remitting millions of dollars back to their native countries to support families and the economy. Conclusion and Recommendations: EMs motives were genuine and necessary for survival of populations bypassed by development. The fears to new comers (EMs) were expected and normal just as one would react to any change whether good or bad. Good governance was key to sustainable development with supported efforts of EMs. Eventually outcomes were good for everyone –including the nationalists. Thus, there was need to relax restriction on EMs, management of extreme fears of nationalist and for EMs to learn to cope while institutions protect sections of the community that are insecure and at risk of violence, and expansion of infrastructure to accommodate and reduce negative pressure on available resources in order to transform the new situation (EMs and Nationalism) to benefit all for a long-term basis –with due consideration of the renewability and continued benefit from the environment resources.

RE: DISHMA INC. PRESS STATEMENT



Dishma Inc. (Decision making and Situation Health Management -Incorporated) was founded in 2008 to give guidance for attainment of personal and community competitiveness in toughest times for human and ecological sustainable development. The basis of that were the ever-challenging human afflictions –resulting from poor interaction with the eco-system and decision-making.

Diseases, civil strive; suicide, misery, poverty and hopelessness were until now the order of the day. Dishma Inc., thus, came into existence to reduce the damage on both humans and environment through sustainable utilization of ecological resources and power of the mind.

Records from the prime ministers office show that, since 1979, drought and famine has affected over 3.2 million Ugandans annually. In 2007, floods adversely affected 2 million people, particularly in Teso sub-region and displaced 300,000 people, while in 1st march landslides in Bududa buried about 300 people and displaced 10,000 people. Yet, there were some other forms of disasters that included fires, accidents due to buildings and those involving vehicles, epidemics like Ebola,  Hepatitis E, Influenza, Marburg, plant pests and diseases. Because of armed conflict between 1986 and 2006, close to 2 million people were displaced in the greater north. Climate change has led to drought, floods and diseases (office of the prime minister 2010:22).

In neighbouring Kenya, some 1,500 people were killed and another 300,000 displaced in a matter of weeks after the presidential polls in which President Mwai Kibaki was accused of having stolen the vote (Africannewslive, 2010).

The result of the 1991 UN-endorsed Gulf War was massive loss of lives only to serve the interests of a handful –Bush II and Blair. Moreover in March 2003, without authorization from the UN enshrined in article 42 of the charter, they went ahead to mentally and physically maim Iraq population (Halliday, 2005). Yet against all that, humanity needs a peaceful and predictable environment conducive for prosperity, and attainment of life dreams (peace, harmony and happiness) –when approaches to their achievement are holistic.

It provided the following services; change management, rehabilitation, community based interventions, mental health assessments, community emancipation, participation, and research initiatives and support –through productive networking and partnership development. Its operations are based in the country’s capital city, Kampala –from where it coordinates research and partnership concerns with sister organizations else where in the world.

Through the test of time, it made advancements to more aggressive journaling, public health development, monitoring and evaluation, capacity building and human rights.

Because of the tough economic challenges amidst so many projects to undertake, Dishma Inc. resorted to formulation of viable income generating projects. Some of these included; brokerage services, products and network marketing.

The income generated from the proposed business projects was meant to ensure sustainability of current project as well as to materialize new ideas in line with human and ecological development.

Dishma Inc. does not view the whole as only rotating around it but of abundant human resources to integrate its work with to make pursued for human and ecological development possible. It relishes working with every prosperity and peace-loving individuals to make the world a harmonious place for every one to live in. I hope this press release gives us an opportunity to interact more, share experiences, and further mutual and multilateral cooperation.
