1. Edexcel GCSE Geography B 5GB3F and 5GB3H June 2013 Teacher Support Material Unit 3 Making Geographical Decisions Uganda

2. Figure 1 – Map of Uganda Calculate the area of oil / gas field

3. Figure 2a – a typical rural landscape of smallholdings (small farms) What’s this? Why? Describe the distribution of settlement Describe the relief. Why good for micro-hydro? …also on equator – rising limb of Hadley Cell, so…? Why is the settlement pattern BAD for micro-hydro?

4. Figure 2b – a tea plantation Benefit the poorest? (maybe…) Who owns the plantation, probably? What about deforestation? – it’s not agroforestry, that’s for sure! Environmental sustainability? TNCs? Monsanto? Artificial fertiliser? Runoff? Eutrophication?

5. Figure 3 – a series of mobile telephone shops in rural Uganda Used for? – e.g. see www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-22904176www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-22904176

6. Figure 4 – Uganda’s population 1960–2010 Describe the growth Explain the growth Terms? 10.0m 5.9m 5.2m 2.7m 2.9m DTM stages? When’s the anomaly? (1980s not 1960s…) Ideas why? AIDs??

7. Figure 5 – Uganda’s age-sex structure in 2010 Why? Term? Specifics? Why? Term? Specifics? How many age 0-4? 6m, not 3m!!!! How many FEWER Age 5-9 than 0-4?

8. Figure 6 – Levels of HIV infection in Uganda (2010) So perhaps they’ve broken the back of it? KEY idea – it says on p15 that more people are being tested for HIV. So it’s hardly surprising that the number of cases is rising – but maybe that’s just because of better detection rates??

9. Figure 7 – Map showing the location of Kabujogera How far is it from Kab to Ibanda? NOTE, booklet says it takes 45mins!

10. Figure 8 – The centre of Kabujogera village

11. Figure 9 – Farmers taking a cash crop, pineapples, to the market at Ibanda

12. Figure 10 – A smallholding near Kabujogera

13. Figure 11 – Market stalls selling produce from local smallholdings

14. Figure 12 – The cycle of poverty for farmers KEY idea – but if asked about in the exam, don’t just copy exactly what it says here… Where can the cycle be interrupted most easily without causing social or other sustainability issues??? How about here?

15. Figure 13 – The average number of students per primary class in Uganda

16. Figure 14 – Levels of education and poverty in rural Uganda

17. Figure 15 – A class in Kabujogera’s secondary school There’s 43 that I can see in the picture – obviously more in the whole class (e.g. front left and front right) How many girls? Why? So? And how will she / they feel?

18. Figure 16 – The percentage of those with detailed knowledge of HIV and AIDS, and their level of education

19. Figure 17 – Percentage of people obtaining drinking water from improved sources, 2008 How relevant to options?

20. Figure 18 – Fetching water in Kabujogera Old hat really (no pun intended), but what sex? So?

21. Figure 19 – A pit latrine. The waste falls into a pit.

22. Figure 20 – Firewood being taken to market for sale What if electricty (eg micro hydro) came to Kabojogera?

23. Figure 21 – Cooking the daily meals at the secondary school in Kabujogera. The wood is for fires, and the cans and buckets for carrying water. What if electricty (eg micro hydro) came to Kabojogera?

24. Figure 22 – A poster in Kabujogera’s secondary school about deforestation and new stoves which use less fuel What if electricty (eg micro hydro) came to Kabojogera?

25. Figure 23 – A selection of the Millennium Development Goals and the UN’s view as to how likely it is that these goals will be achieved in Uganda Is this fair though? Relation to Option 2? (farm advisory service) So… option 4? (piped water) Which option does most to help with these?

26. Figure 24 – Statement about the opportunities offered by Uganda’s oil discovery Assess the social economic and environmental (SEE) sustainability of each of the options. Remember for economic there should be $2b/yr from oil exports starting soon (though this won’t last forever). Option 3 (rural health clinics) is prob easiest to argue for in terms of sustainability. Option 5 (rural elec.) isn’t bad, but what about the appropriate-ness of PV cells and their maintenance? What about if you are asked for 2 that work together well? Remember the need for fridges for vaccines? Remember my frustration with the details of Option 2 – that it is about chemicals, not organic / natural farming. However this does allow you to slag it off for this reason, if you choose a different option (MDG 7a re biodiversity isn’t being met) – eutrophication would be a good term to use. Alternatively, you can choose it – saying that with 85% of Kab being subsistence farmers, with fertile volcanic soils and good rainfall (40-140mm/month) and being 20  C year-round, improving yields should be possible through education about sustainable farming practice such as Yacouba Sawadogo’s zai technique (+40% yields in Burkina Faso) – requiring no chemicals or other economic inputs, and developed by a poor rural African, not imposed by Western TNCs like Monsanto – true bottom-up development.
