The Journal also reviews books, essays, and research notes that are relevant to both scholars and practitioners involved at all levels of administration and management from various organizational forms including business firms, non-governmental organizations, public institutions and individual networks. Aim and scope The Ugandan Journal of Management and Public Policy Studies is a scholarly Journal published to scientifically address the problems, interests and concerns of managers and intellectuals concerned with management science profession. It aims at improving the understanding and practice of management. The Journal is an essential reading, publishing articles from a wide range of authors, both well-established scholars and young scholars. Thus the Journal is an important resource for: a) Management Development Institutions b) Social Science Faculties and Research Institutions c) Graduate teachers and researchers in management science d) Civil service practitioners e) Students of management f) All people interested in the practice of Management iii The Ugandan Journal Of Management And Public Policy Studies Editorial note Volume 13 (1) of The Ugandan Journal of Management and Public Policy Studies is a collection of articles that focus on four thematic areas: education management and governance, public service reforms, gender, and the economy. In the first article, Fred Wahitu uses a multiple case study approach to analyse the role of School Management Committees (SMCs) in the implementation of the Universal Primary Education Programme in Uganda. The findings reveal that SMCs participate in the planning, budgeting, and monitoring of activities of schools as well as mobilisation of parents and the community to participate in activities of the schools. The study reveals a high level of volunteerism in most of the SMCs and that the implementation of the activities varies across the SMCs as a result of differences in capacity, resources and the economic status of the communities. Wahitu recommends that the Government trains and regulates the SMCs for successful implementation of UPE in the country. James Lam-Lagoro, James Lam-Lagoro, J.P. Ocitti, Peter Neema Abooki examines whether the triple missions of the University constitute core functions at Gulu University in Uganda. The study established that research and publication, and community engagement are yet to become core functions at Gulu University. The study recommends that the University should strengthen the research and publication function by formulating a comprehensive and standard research and publication policy and by adequately resourcing the research and community engagement functions. In an article on New Public Management (NPM) inspired reforms, Hilda Musubira applies a descriptive analysis to explore the readiness of the ministries in Uganda to implement Open Performance Appraisal (OPA) and a regression model to determine the effect of readiness on the implementation of the OPA. The findings underscore the positive significance of readiness of ministries on the implementation of the OPA but with a missing sense of efficacy and commitment for successful implementation of the OPA. The article sketches the implications for the implementation of future reforms in the public service. Tom Darlington Balojja, in yet another article on education management, probes the effects of Government of Uganda’s prioritization of funding of primary education on the sub-sector’s performance against the established quality indicators. The article observes that the level of funding is inadequate to address the salient factors in pursuit of quality indicators and hence quality of primary education falls below the threshold indicators. To enhance quality of primary education, he recommends an increase in funding to the primary education sub-sector and an increase in the frequency of school inspection. Jason Nkyabonaki introduces the gender dimension by analysing the level of women participation in decision-making at the political and managerial spheres in Tanzania. Nkyabonaki observes that women are under- represented in decision-making positions despite the initiatives by responsible institutions to enhance their level participation. Nkyabonaki recommends increasing the number of women leaders in political and managerial domains. iv Editorial note Asumani Guloba uses International Monetary Fund (IMF) external vulnerability assessment framework to analyse Uganda’s Balance of Payment (BoP) data with the objective of establishing whether BoP deficits should be a cause of concern for the country. The findings indicate that while the BoP is largely sustainable based on external vulnerability assessment, persistent current account imbalances should be addressed. Furthermore, Guloba notes that increased reliance on external loan financing instead of more sustainable foreign direct investment (FDI) steadily contributes to a build-up of debt. Finally, the author observes that international reserve financing of recent BoP deficits risks the reserves falling below sustainable levels. To incentivize capital goods while discouraging consumer goods imports, Guloba recommends a long term trade policy that encourages production and discourage consumption goods imports. In the final article of this Volume, Edward Ngobye and Asumani Guloba analyse the debt sustainability exercise undertaken by Uganda to determine whether it provides solutions to management of the public debt. The findings reveal that the Government of Uganda uses results of the debt sustainability analysis to justify additional public borrowing instead of guiding public debt management. The study further established that the macroeconomic assumptions used, especially on domestic debt stance, do not reflect the out-turn fiscal policy being implemented which underestimates the domestic interest cost burden to public debt sustainability. Ngobye and Gulooba recommend that new borrowing, even on concessional terms, should be pursued with caution, based on prudent economic projections and in recognition of the country –specific circumstances and risks. v The Ugandan Journal Of Management And Public Policy Studies vi Editorial note Contents Introduction ..............................................................................................................................

  • International Clerkship Summary of Experience Mulago Hospital-Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda Andrew Day for the Record, I Wrote These Entries for My Blog
    International Clerkship Summary of Experience Mulago Hospital-Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda Andrew Day for the record, i wrote these entries for my blog. living situation i'm living in the edge house on the makarere campus in kampala, uganda. it primarily houses multinational medical students rotating at mulago hospital (which is associated w/ makarere university). there's about 15 of us in the house. we hail from the US, UK, germany, belgium, and the netherlands. needless, to say, interacting with these europeans has been an experience in and of itself, which i'll address later. here are a few notables about the house, in bullet format. - i really enjoy living here, despite the absence of usual comforts - living on campus feels so safe compared to other areas of the city - only cold showers w/ very limited water pressure - mice/cockroaches in our food drawers - i've had to throw away several items d/t the mouse - obviously no a/c - some nights i'm perspiring in bed - very poor lighting - there is electricity, but there might be only six dim light bulbs in the whole house - no internet access - a tv with one channel; the shows here are interesting, as they are usually foreign w/ hiatuses every 10 seconds for the lugandan translation. it is definitely not ideal. - a monkey lives near us, raids our garbage can, and occasionally invites himself into our personal space to take food - he's taken bananas right off our fridge; we haven't befriended him though - we'll try to shoo him off and he'll bare his fangs and feign lurching/jumping at us; i don't want rabies, so i'm staying away - we usually sit outside on the porch together at night, as it is usually 10 degrees hotter inside.
