Most appartments in Uganda come with wall brackets installed. Wall brackets are the pieces of metal/plastic which are attached to a wall to carry the curtain rods.
In case these wall brackets are installed already, all you to do is buy the curtain rods and have them placed onto the brackets. But if they are not installed, you will need to ask the landlord for permission to install them on your own. Most landlords will be okay with this if you promise to leave them behind when vacating their property.

Curtains are hanged on the rods, and therefore require no drilling. Hang soft sheer curtains to bring in more natural light, and color coordinate draperies with your furniture to bring out a fine look.

Acurtain holdback is a u-shaped piece of hardware that attaches to a wall near a window frame. Pulling a curtain behind a holdback holds the curtain open. Curtain holdbacks are usually made of rigid materials like metal, iron or wood.
Curtain tiebacks wrap around a curtain, usually attaching to a hook on the wall. They can also gather a curtain in the middle of a window and hang freely. Tiebacks are made of flexible materials like fabric, rope or cord.
