FOREWORD

The Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act 2001, stipulates that all universities prepare annual reports for each calendar year. Similarly, the Makerere University Strategic Plan 2008/09-2018/19 envisaged an annual review process as part of the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework to track implementation. The plan outlined performance indicators to guide annual assessment and inform institutional learning. The 2014 report provides updates on progress in the implementation of the University Strategy.

We are cognisant that the premier higher education institution status of Makerere University infers responsibility and that our actions have impact on the lives of many people. We have embraced this role enthusiastically and each and every year we learn more about the shared value we can create through our students, the research we undertake and the relationships we spawn at community, national and international levels to improve the world we live in. It is therefore heart-warming to say that the 2014 has been a year of promise considering the projects that have been tabled, the partnerships made and the achievements realised.

We have witnessed remarkable progress in teaching and learning. Some of the milestones include a wider appreciation for student centred learning, which was one of the primary thrusts outlined in the University strategy. We have further seen a steady increase in the number of graduate students completing their studies speci�ically at the PhD level. This coupled with College based research projects has enhanced our pro�ile in the quest to become a research led University. Evidence of this has begun to emerge, based on the number of community problem solving initiatives that were undertaken over the year. I’m happy to note that independent studies have continuously placed Makerere University as a research power house in the region.

To facilitate our focus on the core functions of teaching and learning, research and knowledge transfer partnerships, progress has been registered in the support environment. Key among this is the human resource, the number of staff at the professorial ranks has increased to over 220, and this is an indicator of the advances we are making in teaching and research. While we are proud of our contribution to the capacity of other universities and other higher education institutions at national and international levels, it is our sincere hope that we shall have the means to retain the human resource stock we have engendered.

The year has seen improvements in our physical facilities as well as the library and ICT resources. Several initiatives at the national and international level bring on board �inancial resources to support mainly the research activities of the University. These include, the Presidential Initiative for Science and Technology, Sida/Sweden institutional support for research as well as initiatives in health under the National Institutes of Health and US AID among others.

The University nevertheless continues to face �inancial strain; this has generated unrest in both the staff and student bodies. While we strive to improve internal communication in order to enhance collective steering of the university �inancial uncertainty for the day to day running of the University poses a fundamental challenge.

As part of our strategy to diversify the �inancial resource base, the year 2014 saw Council approving the establishment of two very important Boards; the Makerere University Holdings Company Limited Board of Directors to Oversee and manage the commercial entities of the University and the Makerere University Endowment Fund Board of Trustees to Receive, mobilize and grow resources for the bene�it of University operations. Both Boards have achieved some degree of success in a space of less than four months since their inauguration, such motivation is giving Makerere University leadership the con�idence to look forward to a brighter and more �inancially stable future. It is our belief that our Alumni will have signi�icant input towards this cause.

iv

I want to end with a request, a call to alumni (national, regional and international), friends, well-wishers and partners to contribute towards Students’ Centre. This project is going to be a one stop centre for all student activities within the University. This will be yet another milestone towards a truly world class University. The estimated cost of development is $ 15 million and I believe that together, we will have a magni�icent Student Centre by the time of the centenary celebrations. At the back of this year’s report, we have attached a tear off sheet that you can �ill in to make a pledge or contribution towards this developmental cause.

I cannot thank you enough as We Build for the Future!

Professor John Ddumba-Ssentamu

1.5 Milestones in Teaching and Learning

1 Learner centred problem based learning: The Strategic Plan envisioned that the University will move from teacher centred instruction to learner centred problem based instruction providing experiential and �lexible learning. The College of Engineering Design Art at Technology took the initial step in this direction during the year under review. The College successfully hosted the Enriching Engineering Education Programme under the theme “Problem Based Learning (PBL)” with a view of drawing ways through which the engineering curriculum can be restructured to adopt problem based learning. .The workshop covered areas of what Problem Based Learning (PBL) is, why introduce it into Engineering Teaching, challenges of PBL and strategies in implementing PBL. The two-day workshop (August 2014) attracted participants from University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Moi University, Dedan Kimathi University of Technology in Kenya and Aalborg University in Denmark. Ugandan universities included Mak, Ndejje, Busitema and Kyambogo Universities. The workshop was facilitated by Dr Mona-Lisa Dahms from Aalborg University in Denmark.

MakCHS steps up Clinical Skills Laboratory Training for both Undergrad and Postgrad Students. In the discipline of Paediatrics, there were trainings participated in including Training of Tutors in Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment Plus (ETAT plus) in early February 2014. Tutors then went on to be involved in training of other cadres and students. Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) course in Neonatal resuscitation was conducted from the 8th to 13th Sept 2014 for the Masters in Medicine, Paediatrics Graduate students (years II and III), coordinated under a collaboration between the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Emergency Medicine faculty and faculty from Department of Paediatrics Makerere College of Health Sciences (facilitators- Dr. Deo Munube and Dr. Jules Jung). These MMed graduate students then went on to hold sessions to train about forty undergraduate students, MBChB IV and V.

Department of Surgery and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at MakCHS establish a Skills Lab. The Department of Surgery and the Department of Obstetrics share an autonomous laboratory which was of�icially opened on 4th April 2014, and has since then housed trainings in endoscopy, Endoscopic simulation sessions for MMed graduate students and specialists, as well as sessions for Advanced Trauma Life Support coordinated by Specialists and MMed students for Intern doctors as they begin their internship. The SBAR; Situation- Background- Assessment- Recommendation competencies training is another frontier that General surgeons as well as graduate students from the Department of Surgery have implemented to prepare frontline staff e.g. Interns, Nurses to improve Hand-off and consequently improve patient care and safety.

2. Pedagogical Training for Staff. One of the key performance indicators under teaching and learning is pedagogical training for staff. For the year under review the College of Education and External Studies hosted the English Language and Literature pedagogy conference: under the theme, “Functional Language teaching: classroom and extended cultures”. The conference addressed issues such as; the theory of functional language teaching; societal demands; curriculum change, development and assessment of functional language competences; teachers’ professional needs and teacher change; learners’ roles and responsibilities; and implications for the classroom.

4. Open- Distance and E-learning: The Distance and elaerning strategy was instituted to expand eccess to on-campus and non traditional students offering programmes in distance mode. Some of the inititiatives developed to improve learning include:

ODeL content development workshop: This is part of the Distance Education Leapfrogging project 22 staff members of the CEES received technical training in Learning Management Systems, blended content development and ICT requirements. The staff’s improved capacity in Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) content development translated into the writing of modules for the Bachelor of Youth in Development Work. In addition, 10 staff members were trained in the e-teaching course at the University of Agder. Nationally, the project is contributing to building Uganda’s capacity to provide ODeL programmes

Masters’ students at CoVAB and School of Public Health were exposed to Makerere University Science–base Knowledge (MUSK) in order to promote E-learning. A majority of masters’ courses have been uploaded on the MUSK website. MUSK is an E-learning system which enhances learning through promotion of easy access to information, easy interaction between students and lecturers and access to courses from other universities. The MUSK initiative is based on TUSK by the Tufts University in the United States.

Makerere University School of Public Health Assignments Software (MUSPAS) was developed. The software reduces retrieval of assignment submissions from all distance education students to just a click that zips all �iles, as opposed to the manual system previously applied.

The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics also activated an online discussion forum to improve the learning experience for the distance education students on the Masters of Public Health (MPH-DE) programme. This forum, using adobe acrobat as a platform has been very instrumental in the remarkable improvements noted in the Applied Epidemiology 1 course.

Courseware Developers Workshop: The CoVAB Dairy Hygiene Programme Director, four research students, their supervisors, and IT support staff from both DICTS and CoVAB received skills to develop a dairy hygiene online course. Funded under the AgShare II Project, the course draws on research and open resources created by students involved in research in the area of dairy hygiene. The course also identi�ies potential multimedia assets aligned with individual student research proposals that could be used in both the online course and in later feedback interactions with the farming community.

For the fourth year running, Mak has received support under the Presidential Initiative for Science and Technology. The initiative has facilitated the innovations in food technology and agro processing, engineering and transportation technologies. The initiative has extended to skills enhancement for youth in areas of animal production technology. It can further be seen as the engine through which the university is realigning itself to contribute to national development through knowledge generation, innovations and knowledge transfer.

The initiative supports three colleges at the University including the College of Engineering, Design Art and Technology (CEDAT), the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES), speci�ically the School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bio-engineering; and the College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Bio-security (CoVAB). To show case some of the outputs under the initiative the University organized a one day stakeholders’ forum under the theme, “The Presidential Initiative at Makerere University, an engine for realizing Vision 2040 through research and innovation”. Key highlights for the year under review are:

2.3.1 College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences

The Food Technology and Business Incubation Centre (FTBIC) under the School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bio-engineering is in advanced stages of the Construction of the FTBIC 1200 m2 building extension. This �irst phase of the construction will provide 2 separate process areas measuring and of�ice space for incubatees and incubator staff. Procurement of equipment to enhance the processing units to a level that most food processing operations can be carried out. The meat processing, dairy processing, mobile fruit and vegetable processing, extrusion processing, confectionary and baking processing lines are now fully functional and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The thermal processing and fermentations will come on board as more space is available.

Fifteen (15) enterprises have been nurtured from the centre and have graduated from the Incubator to set up their own businesses. As many as 20 brands have been registered; more than 30 different products have been developed. The centre boasts of creation of 100 direct jobs in production and marketing of value added foods and has created jobs for over 500 raw material suppliers.

The mobile fruit and vegetable processor acquired was deployed in Yumbe District to process mangoes in 2013 and 2014 and consequently, a mango processing plant is planned for Yumbe District. In 2013 the same plant was deployed to pilot process tomatoes in Nakaseke District and consequently, a rural industrial centre is being established in Kapeeka. In addition, pineapple pulp and Citrus juice extractors are being hired by SMEs to process their products.

16

More than 600 (youths, women, entrepreneurs, budding entrepreneurs, farmers, traders, exporters, supermarket staff, inspectors and extension workers) have been given demand driven short skills and SME entrepreneurship training for dairy products, bakery products, fruit juices and jams, sauces etc. and many have started microenterprises in food processing. This is through the mentoring for food processing entrepreneurs through the Skills Training Program for SMEs; which has further engaged a number of virtual incubatees under its Virtual Incubation Program (VIP) to provide emerging entrepreneurs with on-site and off-site services as they take steps forward and mature in their businesses.

The centre targets youths, particularly women and young graduates with innovative science and technology ideas that have commercial potential. The centre nurtures and sustains food and allied businesses especially among women and young graduates by providing innovative research, practical solutions, linkages, entrepreneurship development, and outreach leading to wealth creation and nutrition enhancement.

2.3.2 College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology

The initiative has improved the training of engineering human resource with relevant skills, improved research infrastructure, developed business incubation facilities to support commercialization of student and staff ideas and enhanced the understanding and appreciation of the role of science and technology in the development process, especially among the young generation. The initiative especially under the Technology Transfer and Development Centre and the Clusters programme has developed viable prototypes targeting SMEs product development and business processes. Key highlights include:

Research in diapers: the Makapads project has continued to expand the range of products. The team is currently doing research on how make diapers for babies using bio-degradable materials.

Some of the schools that bene�ited this year include Nakanyonyi Girls School, Wairaka College, Wanyange Girls Jinja and Jinja Secondary School. The project distributed MakaPads in 30 UPE schools per district bene�iting 100 pupils per school and each received a pack of 12 packets and a pair of panties. In Soroti district, Eastern Uganda the schools that bene�ited included, Awoja, Owalei, Moruapesur, Soroti Islamic, Pioneer, Nakatunya, Oderai & Bamba Primary schools. In Oyam district, Northern Uganda the schools were Kamdini, Obang, Omwa Dem, Aleny, Aminormir, Barmwony, Ayomapwano & Oyoe Primary schools. Over 200 schools have bene�itted since 2010.

The research for MakaPads has progressed into designing of the Maternity Bed Pads. These have been tested in selected hospitals and maternity clinics namely; Mulago Medical Centre Kitebi, Lions Medical and Laboratory Services in Kitebi, Kagoma Maternity clinic, Makindye Medical Centre, Cure Medical centre Salaama and in Wakiso district.

Irrigation Project: The project has been able to design and manufacture affordable pumps which are being used by farmers for irrigation to mitigate the effects of unreliable rainfall. This is helping in boosting small holder farmers’ production and improving food security in Uganda. The project is working with tea growers in Kyenjojo to test the pumps. Others farmers that have bene�itted from the research include those in Wakiso and the Eastern districts of the country.

CEDAT’s iLabs@Mak Project: The iLabs@Mak Project has for the 5th year running pioneered the college out-reach and knowledge transfer initiative. The team has over the years encouraged science and technology innovation among secondary school students. This has been done through various robotics trainings and through organising the country’s only Science and Technology Innovations Challenge. This is held annually and this year round, it grew in numbers to have 12 participate up from 8 last year. It is hoped with number will grow in the coming year.

Innovations System and Cluster Program: The project is working SMEs, the Ministry of Trade and Industry , private sector and the academia (largely from CEDAT) to bring together people dealing in the same economic activity but also operating in the same geographic location. The idea is for the cluster groups to work together with the academia in an effort to improve the quality of the products so as to get better market and in so doing improve incomes. Some of the cluster groups that have bene�ited from this partnership with academia are the Katwe Metal Cluster, Mbarara milk cluster. Lira Bee cluster, Katwe salt cluster, basketry cluster among other.

CREEC: The Centre for Research in Energy and Energy Conservation is working with rural communities in Uganda on the Rural Electri�ication Project. In an effort to reduce the usage of candles and fuel lamps, CREEC is working with the Ministry of Energy to extend the usage of solar to rural communities. The centre has put solar kiosks in 4 different districts. The kiosk has rechargeable solar lamps which communities hire at only Shs500. This has reduced the number of people using fuels lamps, accidents due to �ires and also created employment for some youth. In conjunction with the College of Natural Sciences, CREEC organised the 3rd workshop on Photovoltaic Solar Energy 8th -12th September 2014. The purpose of starting the PV training was to give people hands on training so that they acquire knowledge basing on how to do the proper sizing of the PV system, Installation and maintenance. Participants gained proper installation knowledge that provided them with an opportunity to start business dealing in PV components.

The PV system registered a number of successes being a clean source without creating any pollution to the environment and facilitates farming during the dry season as irrigation can be done using DC pumps being driven by solar supply. Cooling of the rooms could also be achieved by using DC fans

Centre for Technology Design and Development (CTDD) The Centre for Technology Design and Development is a Technology Development and Transfer Centre. Its role is to develop capacity in technical, socio-economic, cultural and political aspects of technology transfer from other countries to Uganda, and also within different parts of Uganda. CTDD plays the roles of coordinating technology development and transfer activities in the college. It is the college’s student incubation centre. It nurtures students’ innovations into pro�itable and fruitful business enterprises. It provides funds to students in the �inal year of their study to do research and or construction of projects. The idea behind students’

projects is to provide community based solutions. Some prototypes have been tested in the communities of Nakasongola and projects like solar fruit driers, maize shredders, peddle washing, wind turbine have been deployed to help the rural communities.

The Centre for Research in Transportation Technologies [CRTT] Kiira EV. The �irst attempt was a 2-seater Electric Vehicle (EV) unveiled in 2011 as a proof of concept to demonstrate that there was talent, discipline, and leadership to contribute meaningfully towards the development of high-tech transportation solutions.

The Kiira EV Project has since then embarked on de�ining a �lagship production vehicle – the Kiira EV SMACK which is a 5-seater sedan, front-wheel drive vehicle. The Kiira EV SMACK is a hybrid powered by both electric energy and fuel. At low speeds, the car uses electricity while at high speeds it will use fuel and in the process

The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, has made advances in the areas of crop production, value addition and agro processing, as well as animal production technology. In addition systems have been put in place to improve the research development in the College.

Advances in Animal Production Technology

Earthworm breeding starts: Scientists at the Department of Agricultural Production embarked on breeding of earth worms with the aim of providing alternative cheaper sources of protein to livestock farmers in the face of escalating prices of conventional silver �ish or Mukene (Rastrineobola argentea); a major source of animal protein. The plan is to upscale earthworm production for commercial purposes and job creation for the youth and women through value addition to the earthworms as animal feeds. The strategy is to use scienti�ic innovation to intensify and integrate earthworm production enterprise into livestock and crop production as one of the main sources of income for rural development.

The earthworms are dried using solar and milled to produce earthworm meal. This is then evaluated and used to formulate rations that can be used as supplement to �ish, poultry or even pigs. This innovation was staged at Makerere University Innovation exhibition where the United States Agency for International Development (US AID) under Resilient Africa Network (RAN) pledged to support them incubate, test and expand earthworm production.

MAAIF & DAP draft Livestock Breeding Guidelines: The Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) in conjunction with Makerere University Department of Agricultural (DAP) embarked on a project to develop livestock breeding guidelines to advise famers on how best to make money out of their animals. This was disclosed during the end of project workshop on Meat production in East Africa on the theme, “Increasing quantity and improving quality” at Grand Global Hotel in Kampala on 20th February 2014

20

The eight year project, sponsored by DANIDA, was in partnership with Copenhagen and Akhus Universities in Denmark, Sokoine University Tanzania to carry out a project to be able to produce meat of a higher quality and more meat from fewer animals using the locally available resources. Five PhD students and twenty Masters have been trained; two of the PhD students were from Tanzania and three from Uganda while ten MSc were both from Uganda and Tanzania.

MAK-UiB launches P.H Greenwood Research consortium to boost �isheries and aquaculture: Makerere University and the University of Bergen (UiB), launched a Greenwood Research Consortium and Collaboration codenamed; ‘P.H Greenwood Research Consortium’, to boost �ishery production and aquaculture in Uganda and East Africa. According to the Head of Consortium Dr. Gladys Bwanika, the consortium intends to bring together researchers in �ish ecology and systematic, biomathematics, aquaculture and �ish health from both institutions, to train and teach people and students about �isheries and aquaculture.

The Vice Chancellor welcomed and appreciated the opportunity presented to Makerere University, by the consortium, to be the Centre of excellence for research and training in �isheries and aquaculture in Uganda and East Africa. Noting that �ish as a lead export and foreign exchange earner for Uganda was an investment goldmine and hoped that the results of the work of the consortium would contribute to policy-making and improvement of the sector. The Rector of the University of Bergen, Professor Dag Rune Olsen, emphasized the importance of �isheries when he noted that �ishery is the most important sector to the feeding world.

Agro-processing and Value Addition. Food scientists start making Groundnut juice: Makerere University Food Science and Technology student, James Matindo, made the Groundnut Juice code-named Lifetime Juice that could be the �irst of its kind in the world. The Groundnut juice is a nutritious product containing sodium, calcium, iron and vitamin C. The juice is made through the process of hydrothermal extraction that is, using heat and water to extract minerals and nutrients. The Groundnut juice emerged the best innovation at the college 2014 exhibition themed “Youth Innovation: A key to Agricultural Development and Environmental Sustainability in Uganda”.

A tomato processing plant opened in Nakaseke basing on technical expertise and design from the FTBIC and Mobile fruit processor: President Yoweri Museveni launched a 700 million tomato processing plant in Kapeka Nakaseke district dubbed Bulemezi 2014 Ltd. The industrial estate was spearheaded by the Minister in-charge of Luwero Triangle, Sarah Kataike and Gen. Salim Saleh as Chief investor with support and advice from investors, senior industrialists, Cairo international Bank and technical services from Makerere University staff following the designing and acquisition of the Food Technology and Business Incubation Centre (FTBIC) and the Mobile Fruit Factory.

300 jobs had been created in Kapeka’s tomato processing plant and about 700 more jobs expected in two years. Farmers were earning 50,000 per crate of tomatoes culminating into 10 million shillings per season and 20 million per year.

Crop Production Technology

High yielding, Drought and Disease tolerant Sweet potato varieties: The Department of Agricultural Production bred new sweet potato varieties that are high yielding, tolerant to drought and sweet potato viruses. The varieties were unveiled in November 2013, in Gorooba village, Buraru parish, Byabigambire Sub County in Hoima district during an open day for participatory variety evaluation for farmers to choose what they think was the best variety for them based on yield and colour. Over 20 sweet potato elite varieties developed at Makerere University’s Research Institute Kabanyolo named Kabanyolo Sweet Potatoes (KSP) were supplied to a group of 30 farmers called “Ageteraine” chaired by Mr. Mugisa Geofrey who provided land where the varieties were put under three blocks. Other lines from Namulonge (NASPOT) and local varieties (Dimbuka and Semanda) were also given to farmers for performance evaluation.

The three year project was funded under the Regional Collaborative Programs of the Swedish International Development Aid (SIDA). The project involved Makerere University, Namulonge Agricultural Research Station,

21

KAZARDI in Kabale, Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), Mikocheni Agricultural Institute (Tanzania), University of Addis-Ababa (Ethiopia) and Rwanda Agricultural Research Board.

This project looked at three crops cassava, sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes. The overall objective was to come up with new technologies for producing these crops under the climate changing environment by looking at varieties that are not only high yielding but also resilient to different environmental conditions like drought, too much water and diseases.

Two new Soybean Varieties Maksoy 4N and Maksoy 5N released. CAES (with assistance from the Vegetable Oil Development Project-VODP in the Ministry of Agriculture and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa-AGRA) released two new soybean varieties to the public making a total of six commercial varieties recommended for production by farmers in Uganda. The two new varieties are Maksoy 4N and Maksoy 5N developed through conventional plant breeding. Previously the college had released Namsoy 4M and Maksoy 1N (2004), Maksoy 2N (2008), Maksoy 3N (2010).

The new varieties 4N and 5N were of�icially released to the public by the Deputy Director of National Agricultural research Organization Dr. Imelda Kashaija during the Variety Release Committee Meeting held in Entebbe in November 2013. The new varieties are resistant to soybean rust disease that is the most devastating soybean disease in the tropics. The varieties are also high yielding than all the commercial soybean varieties in Uganda. They can be grown in the major soybean growing areas in Uganda and across the region. They have a moderate maturity period; Maksoy 4N matures in 103 days while Maksoy 5N matures in 96 days.

Graduate Student Conferences: The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) in partnership with RUFORUM, has resumed the Graduate Student Conferences which will be held annually. This is part of the efforts towards improving the quality of graduate student research. The �irst Graduate Research Students conference was held at the Continuing Agricultural Education Centre (CAEC) under the theme, “Graduate Research Training for Sustainable Development and Natural Resource Management”.

2.4.2 College of Health Sciences

The College of Health sciences has made signi�icant advances in health research over the reporting period. There have been Advances in Screening in and Prevention in Reproductive Cancers (ASPIRE), a collaboration between Makerere University College of Health Sciences and University of British Columbia. The project undertook a pilot study entitled “A community –based pilot randomized controlled trial comparing self-collected HPV testing with visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) screening in Kampala, Uganda.”

The purpose of the study was to determine the optimal cervical cancer screening in a low resource setting by comparing self-collection for HPV testing to VIA and also assess the attitudes, beliefs and uptake of HPV self-collection in a sample population of women living in Kisenyi, Uganda. The goal of this pilot study was to get information on the feasibility and uptake of self-collection as a method for cervical cancer prevention in low resource settings.

Results: A total of 500 women were recruited for this pilot clinical trial and among 250 women randomized to HPV self-collection, 248 provided samples and of the 250 randomized to VIA arm, 121 women attended the local health unit and completed an exam. There was a signi�icant difference in attendance to HPV testing (99.2%) compared to attendance to VIA (48.4%)

The Conclusion: Self-collection based cervical cancer screening had a higher number of women at risk for cervical cancer compared to VIA.

Fishing community survey: The Focus of the Lake Kyoga Fishing community HIV Bio-behavioral Survey is to document prevalence of HIV, syphilis and schistosomiasis in the Lake Kyoga region. Data was collected in eight districts around Lake Kyoga. The districts covered included; Amolator, Apac, Dokolo, Kaberamaido, Kayunga. From these districts, 40 landing sites were selected. All together 1822 participants were interviewed, 25 Focus

22

group discussions and 71 in depth interviews conducted. The prevalence of HIV, Syphilis and Schistosomiasis among �ishing communities in the Lake Kyoga region was 14.3%, 7.8%, and 48.9% respectively.

Fishing communities where the survey was conducted

Results of this survey will provide insights for eventual expansion of surveys and surveillance activities that will include other �ishing communities and other MARPs populations.

Resilient Africa Network (RAN) conducts �irst-ever Deliberative Polls in Africa: RAN, in partnership with the Centre for Deliberative Democracy (CDD) at Stanford University conducted deliberative Polls in July 2014 in two districts of Bududa and Butalejja. These events marked the �irst deliberative polls to be conducted in Africa and they attracted a sample of over 400 participants as depicted at http://www.ranlab.org/gal/ran-deliberative-polling-intervention-strategy-workshops-photos. The themes of focus included resettlement management, land management solutions and population pressure. The implementation strategy was done in �ive steps: Desk reviews or consultations to identify policy options, pros and cons; random selection of representative samples; conducting baseline opinion polls; inviting the sample to a facilitated deliberation; qualitative documentation of community concerns; and post deliberation opinion poll. Using this innovative approach to opinion counting known as Deliberative Polling®, community opinions about policy can change with suf�icient participatory dialogue and the policy process can be greatly enhanced by employing ‘human-centred design’.

Resilient Africa Network (RAN) brings a new Dimension to Innovation at Makerere University: RAN, with the support of Stanford University and using the ChangeLabs’ large-scale transformation methodology, conducted resilience innovation visioning and ideation workshops to all RILabs. The videos of the innovation visioning workshop are available at http://ranlab.org/workshop/Innovation_Visioning_workshop.3gp. In these trainings, participating students and faculty were introduced to the key concepts of design thinking and actively participated in hands-on exercises meant to reinforce their understanding of these concepts that prepare them better in identifying and solving resilience challenges.

2.4.3 College of Engineering Design Art and Technology

Stimulating Local Innovation on Sanitation for the Urban Poor in Sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia; this project (2012-2016) is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates (BMG) Foundation. It is coordinated by UNESCO-IHE in the Netherlands and overall, has 20 PhD students and 5 Post doctorates. Makerere University involves one post doc, and three PhD students, studying how to increase the lifespan of a pit latrine by using indigenous organisms to degrade the excreta (PhD student Anne Nakagiri); improving the functioning of biogas latrines by optimising the co-digestion of human excreta and organic bio-waste (PhD student Peter Mutai) and investigating local valorisation of faecal sludge on site (within the slums) to decrease transportation cost and increase bene�its to slum dwellers (PhD student Swaib Semiyaga).

SCUSA Grey project: this project (2013-2014), is aimed at reducing the pollution load coming from grey water generated in urban slums. Mak is working with UNESCO-IHE in the Netherlands. This project is funded by DGIS of the Government of Netherlands. 20 household grey water treatment units have been built, treating wastewater from more than 100 households. Monitoring of these treatment systems to quantify the pollution reduction achieved as a result of these grey water treatment �ilters is being done.

23

Sludge to Energy Enterprises in Kampala (SEEK) project; this project (2014-2016) is funded by the REPIC-Platform, Switzerland. CEDAT is working with Sandec (Department of Water and Sanitation in the Developing Countries) as the project leader. This project seeks to optimize drying technologies to reduce the foot print of fecal sludge drying beds; and doing value addition by optimizing the production of fecal sludge pellets that are applied in a gassi�ier to produce electricity.

WASH in the context of maternal health and menstrual hygiene; Makerere University has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with UNICEF to collaborate in the area of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). This project (2014-2016) is funded by the Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS). In partnership with Sandec (Department of Water and Sanitation in the Developing Countries) as the project leader. The project aims at understanding the current status of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities in healthcare facilities, and study them with the view of improving with them, taking into account the gender segregated needs for WASH in healthcare facilities. The project partners include CEDAT, UNICEF Finland, UNICEF Uganda, Aalto University, Helsinki University and Biolan Oy. At Makerere University, CEDAT will collaborate with the College of Health Sciences (CHS) and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHUSS). The project will be implemented in Acholi sub-region, Northern Uganda.

2.4.4 College of Veterinary Medicine Animal Resources and Biosecurity

The college continues to be at the forefront of knowledge in animal diseases and how they impact on human health and livelihoods. For the year under review, notable researches included, foot and mouth disease, African swine fever and medicinal plants to treat malaria.

Research on Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Contagious Bovine Pleuropheumonia (CBPP) The College made ground breaking research on FMD and CBPP. It showed that the FMD and CBPP had diverse effects on Social Economic aspects along the cattle marketing chains in Uganda.

The research centred on the effects of the CBPP (Contagious Bovine Pleuropheumonia) along the cattle marketing chains in two inland districts and two districts that share international borderlines. Findings revealed that as a result of the outbreak of this disease, farmers who rear cattle as a source of livelihood are not the only ones affected. Instead, many livestock markets and abattoirs are closed and this not only affects the farmers but a chain of people like the transporters, consumers, and the economy. The spread is worsened by movement of cattle farmers during dry spells that allow the disease to spread. Increasing losses are forcing cattle keepers to opt for crop husbandry hence increased prices in cattle products. The other �inding was that local governments where cattle markets are situated tend to lose a lot of revenue once a market has been quarantined.

The research recommended that the Government should control the movement of animals by issuing permits and sensitization be carried out on the following; construction of dams, irrigation, harvesting of rain water and pasture improvement. These would help curb the spread of FMDs and CBPPs.

Epidemiology of African swine fever in wild and domestic swine; factors for its persistence in Uganda African Swine Fever (ASF), a fatal, hemorrhagic disease of domestic pigs, poses a threat to farmers and is currently endemic in most of sub-Saharan Africa. To get an insight into the factors related to ASF outbreaks at farm-level, and thus the maintenance of the disease in a domestic pig population, a longitudinal study was performed in one of the major pig producing areas in central Uganda. Fifty-one (21%) and 13 (5.6%) farms reported ASF outbreak in the previous one to two years and during the study period, respectively.

The incidence rate for ASF prior to the study period was estimated at 14.1 per 100 pig farm-years and 5.6 per 100 pig farm-years during the study. Potential ASF risk factors were present on both small and large-sized pig farms; however, no risk factors were signi�icantly associated with ASF reports during the study. Different practices in the pig value chain and their association with the transmission of ASF within and between farms and pork traders were investigated on 101 pig farms and 30 traders in the districts of Kabarole, Mityana, Moyo, Mukono, Soroti, and Tororo in Uganda. Key informant interviews with the District Veterinary Of�icers (DVOs) were conducted as well, between May-November 2011. Twenty six percent of the farmers reported having had the disease on the farm in the last one year.

24

None of the risk factors was statistically signi�icant for ASF outbreaks but potential risk factors for ASF existed on the farms and among pork traders. The absence of carrier pigs requires further investigation in order to better inform disease control strategies. The presence of anti-tick antibodies on pig farms requires further investigation if control and prevention are to be appropriately addressed.

Evaluation of process procedures of selected medicinal plants used for treating malaria fevers in Tororo district The purpose of this study was to determine if selected Tororo antimalarial herbs are processed as per WHO recommended requirements. The study further set out to determine the factors that in�luence the manner of preparation and also to determine whether there is any loss of active principles when Standard Processing Procedures (SPP) are not followed.

Results revealed loss of existing knowledge of antimalarial herbs in Tororo district. As far as labelling is concerned, 100% of Tororo herbalists opted not to label their herbal products or the plant parts from which they were obtained plus the product composition. Furthermore, herbalist practices from plant identi�ication to storage are still below standard with respect to WHO and NDA for all herbalists interviewed. It was concluded that there is lack of knowledge about SPP as required by WHO. Furthermore, Tororo herbalists fear revealing the source and formula of their products and majority use unacceptable storage practices. Herbalist practices from plant identi�ication to storage are still below WHO set standard. Selected antimalarial herbs used by communities in Tororo, are currently not processed as per the WHO requirements. Factors in�luencing the manner of preparation included lack of a proactive herbalist Association, refresher courses/materials and negative attitudes on SPP. It is strongly recommended that Uganda Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Ministries of Youth, Gender and Culture, Agriculture and Forestry as well as researchers collaborate to address issues raised in this study.

Research Infrastructure for CoVAB

The Makerere University Zoonoses and Biosecurity Centre (MAZOBIC) was established at CoVAB. This was in partnership with the NORAD-CAPAZOMANINTECO Project, the Government of Uganda, University of Zurich-Switzerland, University of Colarado State-USA and USAID.

3 KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER PARTNERSHIPS (KTP)

Mak has continued to reach out to various communities and interfaced with the private sectors to promote development from its research and innovations. These efforts have been aimed at addressing the needs of these partner communities with affordable and home grown solutions. It is the university’s move to engage the public and private in cultivating and fostering symbiotic relationships for development.

Through this core function, Mak has been able to reach out to the poor communities for knowledge sharing hence closing the gap between the university and the people especially those that have not received formal training. Such partnerships have been made with the Bunyoro Transformation Initiative, the Ntungamo Development Initiative under SPEDA and other communities outside Uganda as highlighted in this section.

Furthermore, this section showcases the partnerships the university has made as well as lists newly signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoU), efforts of internationalization and interactive conferences organized and/or in partnership with Mak in the year 2014.

3.1 Knowledge Transfer Partnerships at College Levels

3.1.1 College of Education and External Studies

Mainstreaming Community Based Research: Institutional Arrangement for Research Partnerships between Community Groups and Universities. This is a two-year global study of institutional arrangements for the facilitation and support of research partnership between community groups and universities. The goal is to help create authentic and respectful research partnerships. The project is an initiative of the UNESCO Chair of Community-based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education and is funded in part by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) with signi�icant additional in-kind resources from Mak College of Education and External Studies School of Distance and Lifelong Learning, University of Victoria, the Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada, the Centro Boliviano de Estudios Multi-disciplinarios (CEBEM) and a number of regional and global networking organizations including the Living Knowledge Network, Talloires Network, and PASCAL Observatories.

Environment education workshop: The CEES’ Education for Sustainable Development Club partnered with the National Environment Management Authority to organize an environmental awareness and education campaign for students. This was to enable students to get an increased awareness and understanding of sound environmental management and increased access to environmental literature. This move was aimed at ways of further protecting the environment and to also encourage the students to feel empowered to become ambassadors of sound environmental management initiatives in the university and their local communities. The principles fronted in this workshop called for ownership of the environment.

The Annual English Language and Literature Pedagogy Conference was held in June under the theme “Functional Language Teaching: Classroom and extended cultures”. This event was targeting secondary school teachers of the English Language and Literature. The conference addressed issues including the theory of functional language teaching; societal demands; curriculum change, development and assessment of functional language competences; teachers’ professional needs and teacher change; learners’ roles and responsibilities; and implications for the classroom. Over 300 secondary school teachers of Luganda participated in the Annual Luganda Teachers Conference in June. The theme of the conference this year was “Pedagogical considerations to Luganda Literature”.

The Department of Adult and Community Education held a Health Awareness Campaign in collaboration with Makerere University Adult Community Education Students’ Association and Uganda Cares. The services offered at the campaign were HIV Counselling and testing, syphilis testing, reproductive health education and distribution of health education information communication materials. Safe sexual activity trends for a lower-middle income country especially in poor communities suggest a gradual decline in use of contraceptives, and

28

child spacing and minimal association to efforts to improve change in such behaviour. Perceived health bene�its of HIV awareness and intention to increase such awareness have been established as a way of saving more lives in these communities. This campaign was performed to understand peoples’ perceptions and awareness about health, bene�its of awareness as well as to train locals to enable sustainability. The campaign focused on early detection, timely treatment and appropriate treatment for HIV and STDs.

The Centre for Lifelong Learning organized the 4th National Inter-generational Literacy Learners’ Conference in Uganda at St. Joseph’s College, Ombaci in Arua District. The theme this year was “ICT Literacies for Community mobilisation and sustainable local economic development in Uganda”. The conference was aimed at creating a conducive environment for both the unschooled and educated people of all kinds of life to freely interact and share ideas, experiences, skills and knowledge on issues that affect their livelihoods and in so doing get equipped with literacy and numeracy skills including digital literacy to appropriately respond to challenges of the current global economy in which learning should proceed as a lifelong process. The conference accommodated people of diverse age, gender, socio-economic, cultural, education and geographical backgrounds. This required the conference to be multicultural and multidisciplinary so as to enhance learning in a non-formal setting. The event was attended by 416

participants including community members and students. Key speakers at the conference laid special emphasis on how the emerging ICT tools can be adapted and innovatively used to respond to some of the critical challenges facing rural people. Activities included a health camp, computer training, group discussions on ICTs, personal experiences and traditional dances.

The CEES’ Centre for Lifelong Learning (CLL) initiated the Community Literacy Project on community learning centres based on the Japanese Kominkan experiences. Kominkan, community learning centres in Japan, are facilities that conduct a variety of activities related to education, skills and culture directly connected to the community. In November, a stakeholders’ consultative meeting attended by LC 1 of�icials from the various villages in the suburbs surrounding Makerere University was held to identify the learning needs of residents of these areas. The great need for basic education (literacy and numeracy) among the urban poor was a key point of emphasis. The CLL will design short courses to improve the skills community members. Among the key partners on the project are Kampala City Council Authority and the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development.

3.1.2 College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences

The College embarked on a project of training 300 Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF) senior of�icers in for an Induction Training Program in Agriculture. The two week programme, featured four modules covering aspects in crop and animal production, agribusiness, agricultural engineering and post-harvest programme. The trained of�icers were deployed in sub counties across the country to work with National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) technical teams to implement the NAADS programme in a move to modernize agriculture and improve service delivery. They also covered machinery, gender, climate change, trends in NAADS, monitoring agricultural programs and agricultural practices and related laws. The need to empower military personnel was to give them an opportunity to make a positive contribution to the communities they serve. With such training, it is hoped that the government programmes will be better managed as well as increase implementation levels.

3.1.3 College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources & Biosecurity

Mak-BTI af�iliation set to transform Bunyoro-Kitara. The University through The Africa Institute for Strategic Animal Resource Services and Development (AFRISA), College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity (CoVAB) has partnered with the Bunyoro Transformation Initiative (BTI) to enhance the livelihoods of the people of Bunyoro with skills in production, enterprise development and academic growth in Bunyoro sub-region. These efforts are aimed at poverty reduction and enrichment of the peoples’ knowledge in the areas of livestock management and production.

BTI is a Not-For-Pro�it umbrella association bringing together religious, cultural and development oriented organizations in the Bunyoro sub region with a sole aim of spearheading economic, moral and social transformation in Bunyoro Kitara.

CoVAB trains in Hydroponic Fodder Production Technology. CoVAB through AFRISA in partnership with Agro-tunnel Kenya and Fodder Solutions; Uganda initiated the �irst training in Hydroponic fodder production technology that targets livestock farmers in the East African community. This technology involves growing fodder in soilless conditions, seeding and harvesting fodder in just six days. The product can be consumed by all livestock hence increased production and nutrition improvement. The �irst of this kind of training was held at AFRISA Secretariat in December 2013 with facilitators from CoVAB and Fodder Uganda. The Second training in Hydroponic fodder production took place in February 2014 at AFRISA and was carried out under the partnership between AFRISA, National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) and Fodder solutions, Uganda. NAADS fully sponsored 22 participants. In total there were thirty four (34) participants. Just like in the �irst training, the practical sessions were carried out at Animal Care Entebbe. A third training took place in March 2014.

CoVAB Through AFRISA Trained Communities in Indigenous Micro-organisms Technology. Indigenous Micro-organism Technology (IMO) involves among others rearing of animals on a live platform that has harmless micro-organisms that consume the bad smelling gasses that emanate from animal faeces and urine. The concept involves incorporation of indigenous micro-organisms (IMO), use of natural ventilation and solar positioning for cooling and drying within livestock housing, and a maintenance-free green waste bedding system. All of these combined mitigate generation of nuisance �lies and odours and all but eliminates the need for manure handling. The technology is used for;

1. Bad smell prevention in animal houses, sewerage etc.

2. Fertilizers in smart agriculture

3. Preparation of silage for livestock

4. Sinking of latrines

5 Release bio-nutrients from un-palatable plants for livestock feeds

6. Improvement of water quality in �ish ponds

7. Brooding of chicks and ducks by provision of warmth required

CoVAB Partners with Government against East Coast Fever. In an effort to address the East Coast Fever (ECF) disease that has drastically affected cattle in Uganda and kills one cow every 30 seconds, the Government through the Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) in collaboration with CoVAB through its partnership platform-AFRISA developed a framework to train extension workers on how to vaccinate cattle with a scienti�ically proven vaccine. The 3-day training was held at CoVAB and Nabinsasa farm along Gayaza road and attracted more than 40 participants including Veterinary Of�icers and Animal Health practitioners from across the country. The participants were equipped with knowledge and skills on administering the EFC vaccine in cattle. The ECF vaccine has been in Uganda for over 15 years but due to its misuse and mishandling, it has not been effective. It is for this reason that CoVAB made these partnerships to form a platform with clear guidelines on how to use the vaccine. In order to curb the past misuse of this vaccine, the new formed body called AFRISA Tick and ECF control platform will issue trained Veterinaries with certi�icates to import, export and administer this ECF vaccine.

The climate change workshop in CAES: Climate Change researchers held a research dissemination workshop to share research �indings with Sub County and district leaders, environmental and NAADS of�icers, district planning, production and climate change units at the Nakasongola district headquarters. The study titled, “Perceptions of Climate Change /variability and its effects among small holder farmers in the dry land ecological zone of Nakasongola”, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation was conducted in 21 villages. Nakasongola was chosen because it is more vulnerable to climate change and being a dry land, has a challenge of less rainfall with high instances of drought. The main objective of the study was to understand peoples’ perception on climate change so as to have a basis to come up with interventions to help the communities.

The Department of Extension and Innovation Studies in CEES held a Climate Change seminar, in February 2014 on the topic, “Climate Impacts and Adaptation Strategy for Small Holder Farmers”. This seminar was organized as part of the international course “Climate Change Adaptation in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management”. The course was organized by Makerere University in partnership with Wageningen University & Research Centre in Netherlands.

Teacher Education in Sub- Saharan network: The Teacher Education in Sub- Saharan Africa (TESSA) workshop on ICT and OER pedagogies was held by the CEES’ Department of Science, Technical and Vocational Education. The workshop aimed to establish a forum on ICT and OERs pedagogies for professional development of primary and lower secondary science teachers. The Chief Guest was the Minister for Higher Education who was represented by Mrs. Elizabeth Gabona the Director of Higher Education in the Ministry of Education and Sports. A TESSA-OER teachers’ network was formed at the end of the workshop as a platform for continued use of ICT and other OERs in teaching and learning. The network will meet annually at Makerere University to share achievements and challenges. The TESSA project is made up of a consortium of universities in Africa which brings together teachers and teacher educators from across sub-Saharan Africa. It offers open education resources to support school based teacher education and training.

4 ACADEMIC SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT

The University envisaged an environment that would enhance the core functions of teaching and learning, research & innovations as well as knowledge transfer partnerhsips. This environment extends to library facilities, ICT, Physical infrastructure as well a �lexible organisational structure that responds to emerging institutional requirements. For the year under review, achievements include:

4.1 LIBRARY FACILITIES

The University Library Services play a crucial role in providing support to the fucntions and intelectual development of the University. The period under review, the library implemented the following activities;

Virtua library system modules: circulation, cataloguing, acquisition, are 275,857 titles (427,573 copies) of books and 10,865 journal holdings accessible via MakULA. Out of these; 15,323 records are books and 20 journals entered in 2014.

A total of 929 copies of books were ordered using the acquisitions module

Cardmaster was installed

More than 5,586 students borrowed books using the online circulation module in 2014, i.e 4225 in IDA (Old building), 390 in IDA extension and 971 in LAW section. There were 839 copies received. This brings the total 227,049 copies of Book Bank books in 2014.

56 (49) print journals were acquired through the Journal Donation Project and 7 from Mallor in 2014. There are 51 journal databases with over 27,000 journal titles.

Two (2) journal databases (1 ejournal database &1 ebook databases) - (Springer, ICT and Engineering 2014 e-book publications) were added this year. Databases with poor usage statistics were eliminated in 2014. Full text downloads increased from 198,410 to 226,597 downloads

There were efforts to improve the Library ICT Infrastructure (PCs, LAN and Bandwidth). This has resulted into redesigning and operationalising the Library website and the 40 databases that the library subscribes have been linked to the website

Sixteen (16) new computers were procured (5 in CoVAB, 5 in MUARIK, 2 in MSTIFA, and 3 in the Digitization section) and 1 ADF scanner was also procured for the digitization section. Twenty two (22) OPAC terminals were installed and 32 CCTV cameras and 40 phone extension were installed in 2014.

Additional equipment was installed to improve the library services include a Public address system that was revamped, procurement of 5000 Library cards for external users, �ive wireless routers; (4 MTN and 1 Orange) installed as back up for internet failure especially during trainings, procurement of a GOTV decoder for the media room, three printers were installed in the research commons and one laser jet in the circulation section.

All Library computers were updated with the current Windows operating systems. The Library also acquired the current version of endnote software, UBUNTU software on 12 computers and 5 Jaws software licenses for the students with disabilities and the embosser was repaired.

Efforts of improvement have also targeted the Library staff through undertaking short and long courses, attending conferences and presentation of papers at international regional and national levels. One of the staff members attained a PhD 2014. 118 librarians and academic staff from CUUL and PERii institutions were sensitized about the usage of E-resources from Makerere University in 2014 as compared to 169 in 2013. Coordinated publishers meetings with CUUL executives were held and Publishers included: Wiley, Emerald and Springer, Jaypee, Business Monitor and Lexis Nexis

48

4 additional workshops were conducted in liaison with INASP including; Pedagogical Skills workshop in February 2014, Information Literacy into curriculum, Systems workshop, and E-resources Marketing workshop

Routine workshops were conducted with DGRT; these include; LATINA, ICM, SLU and graduate students trainings. Staff also visited and trained 3 institutions (Bank of Uganda, Kyambogo University and Uganda Management Institute) with support from Emerald as a strategy to promote usage of Emerald and other resources.

Library day celebrations. The Mak Library participated in the international Library Day celebrations under the theme “MakLib: A Knowledge Hub for Transforming Society”. Chosen for his avid love for writing, the key note speaker for the event was Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga the Buganda Kingdom Prime Minister (Katiikiro). The theme for this year’s celebrations highlighted the synergies between libraries and societies in the creation and use of knowledge for socio-cultural transformation, as well as the changing role of Libraries and Librarians in view of the rapid technological developments and ever increasing users’ expectations. The aim of this year’s celebration was to draw the attention of policy-makers, cultural institutions, library users, administrators and all stakeholders to the role that the Library plays as both a University and National Reference Library.

Automated Vehicle Control System. The year 2014 saw Makerere University embarking on an Automated Vehicle Control System (AVCS) to curb on-campus traf�ic as well as limit the possibility of car thefts on campus. This system is being put in place by the Kenya Airport Parking Services (KAPS) Limited and it involves installation of CCTV cameras at the main entrances to the university as well as erecting ticketing machines to bill mainly external vehicle owners accessing the campus. This system is expected to become operational in mid-2015.

SHARP partnership to light Campus. As part of improving security at Mak, the University signed a MoU with SHARP Electronics Technology Limited to install a total of 120 lights especially along dark spots on the campus. The partnership worth billions of shillings will also see SHARP Electronics install 10 LED signage screens at strategic locations within the University. The solar powered streetlights carry advertising boxes and together with the LED signage screens, help SHARP Electronics recoup the money invested in the project through attracting advertisers. Makerere University however reserves the right to vet all the advertisement content before it is run.

The University strategy for human resource development is hinged on the primary goal to attract, recruit and retain high quality human resource. This it was envisaged would be through competitive terms of service and establishment of human resource support systems.

Staff Capacity Development. One of the key tenets of Human Resource Development is strengthening the staff skills. Within Makerere University staff development includes short term skills enhancement courses and advanced degree programmes at Masters and PhD levels. Several partners contribute to this staff development key among these are the Swedish Government through Sida, the Germany Government through DAAD and from internally generated funds which based on policy only contributes supplementary funding to staff development.

University Leaders attend Induction workshop. College Principals, Deputy Principals, Deans, Directors and Heads of Departments convened in the Conference Hall to participate in the induction workshop organized by the Directorate of Human Resources. The two days workshop was aimed at sharing with participants the culture of the university, necessary guidelines, speci�ic job requirements and critical governance issues focusing on the understanding and appreciation of the collegiate system and the roles of different of�ices.

The Vice Chancellor emphasized the need for those in positions of leadership to signi�icantly contribute to the realization of the University vision-To be the leading institution for academic excellence and innovations in Africa; understand their role in ensuring high quality teaching and learning, research and innovations; knowledge transfer partnerships and networking. The Vice Chancellor also reiterated the value of teamwork in building strong and resilient institutions.

H. E. President Museveni on staff salaries. Staff attraction and retention are key areas of concern for the effective organisational development and remuneration is one of the fundamental causes of staff attrition in Makerere University. President Yoweri Museveni, on 12th September 2014, re-af�irmed his commitment to increasing the salaries of Academic Staff in public universities (UGX 15 million for a Professor) in the �inancial year 2015/16. His Excellency however emphasized that the increment will take effect on condition that higher education institutions revise their academic programmes to remain with a few that are most relevant. He assured the staff that government had the money to support public universities due to increased tax collections.
