  • Informal Support for People with Alzheimer's Disease and Related D
    Informal Support for People With Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias in Rural Uganda: A Qualitative Study Pia Ngoma Nankinga ( [email protected] ) Mbarara University of Science and Technology Samuel Maling Maling Mbarara University of Science and Technology Zeina Chemali Havard Medical School Edith K Wakida Mbarara University of Science and Technology Celestino Obua Mbarara University of Science and Technology Elialilia S Okello Makerere University Research Keywords: Informal support, dementia and rural communities Posted Date: December 17th, 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.2.19063/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/16 Abstract Background: The generation of people getting older has become a public health concern worldwide. People aged 65 and above are the most at risk for Alzheimer’s disease which is associated with physical and behavioral changes. This nurtures informal support needs for people living with dementia where their families together with other community members are the core providers of day to day care for them in the rural setting. Despite global concern around this issue, information is still lacking on informal support delivered to these people with dementia. Objective: Our study aimed at establishing the nature of informal support provided for people with dementia (PWDs) and its perceived usefulness in rural communities in South Western Uganda. Methods: This was a qualitative study that adopted a descriptive design and conducted among 22 caregivers and 8 opinion leaders in rural communities of Kabale, Mbarara and Ibanda districts in South Western Uganda. The study included dementia caregivers who had been in that role for a period of at least six months and opinion leaders in the community.

Lack of grant funds for small research projects is a major obstacle to research development in developing countries. Small projects are the fuel, upon which research skills are honed and a track record is established, a critical factor in any research grant proposal. In March 2009, Drs. Noni MacDonald and Robert Bortolussi were awarded funds from CCHCSP for a pilot Micro-Research infrastructure project. Micro-Research, a concept modeled on Micro–Finance, was conceived by Jerome Kabakyenga, Dean of Medicine of Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), Noni MacDonald and Bob Bortolussi in 2008 (Appendix 1). The CCHCSP pilot project would use educational tools, mentors, seed grant support and peer-to-peer interaction with CCHCSP and Ugandan researchers. The program of the workshop at Makerere University was modeled after an earlier workshop but modified to address issues such as grant reviewing, knowledge translation and community engagement.

  • Strategic Profiles of the International Dimension in Universities in Uganda Ronald Bisaso and Florence Nakamanya
    Strategic Profiles of the International Dimension in Universities in Uganda Ronald Bisaso and Florence Nakamanya Abstract This article is based on a study that explored the nature of and variations in strategic profiles of internationalisation in universities in Uganda. Six universities, comprising of three public and three private chartered uni- versities with different histories and philosophies were selected for the study. Profiles of the international dimension were ascertained through a review and analysis of national and institutional strategic plans and reports. The findings highlight six profiles of internationalisation, namely, vision and mission, shared/core value, student enrolment, staff and student exchange, partnerships and collaborations, and the management structure. It is imperative that universities integrate internationalisation as an ethos that is systematically mainstreamed in all activities, produce knowledge relevant to local and international audiences, and improve the manage- ment structure by deploying managerial capacity that corresponds to the strategic period. The article recommends that further research should be conducted on profiles of the international dimension. Key words: internationalisation, international dimension, strategic pro- files, university, Uganda Ce article se fonde sur une étude qui a exploré la nature de et les variations dans les profils stratégiques d’internationalisation dans les universités en Ouganda. Six universités, composées de trois publiques et trois privées agréées, avec des histoires et des philosophies différentes, ont été sélec- tionnées pour l’étude.

On behalf of the U .S . National Institutes of Health-sponsored Centers for AIDS Research, and Makerere University’s Infectious Diseases Institute, welcome to Kampala! It is our pleasure and honor to have you join us for the 2011 Sub-Saharan Africa CFAR Conference as we gather to feature some of the important research being conducted by African investigators collaborating with the 21 Centers for AIDS Research (CFARs) . Our Conference Steering Committee is planning an exciting program focusing on three priority themes: u Integrating Treatment and Prevention in HIV Care u HIV Comorbidities u HIV and Women Through a combination of plenary and poster presentations, panel discussions, and networking sessions, this meeting will present a unique opportunity for both scientific and information exchange . A special effort will be made to provide a platform for sharing information on existing scientific resources and infrastructure at leading African institutions that support AIDS research and training – a critical prerequisite for the exchange of scientific resources, capacity building, and the fostering of new collaborations among African institutions . The conference has already generated much energy and interest . We envision this momentum leading to the emergence of an African-led network that will build on existing collaborations and begin to explore potential synergies with new partners – including other CFARs, other complementary networks active in Africa, and in particular, South-South partnerships among African institutions – to strengthen the community of science on the continent .

    Decentralisation and Urban Governance in Uganda By Sabiti Makara Supervisor: Prof. Tom Lodge Thesis submitted to the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg For the award of a Ph.D in the Faculty of Humanities 2009 i Declaration I declare that this is my own work which, to the best of my knowledge, has not been submitted to any university for any academic award. ii Dedication This work is dedicated to the memory of my late father, Eliab Makara who taught me that life and work have the same meaning, and to my late grandmother Egransi Baroza, under whose care and guidance I grew to realise my childhood dream. iii Acknowledgement I am indebted to many people for their contribution to this work. I thank my supervisor Professor Tom Lodge, who despite the challenge of transferring from Wits to Limerick University retained and guided me to the end. It is a privilege accorded to very few students and I am lucky to have associated with him in this regard. To the members of my family, especially my wife Beatrice Kabahinda, children: Janet Kukundakwe, Jessica Namara, Joy Asiimwe and Joseph Ruteikara and to my dear mother, Medias, I owe you a pat on the back for all kinds of support to me. It was never a bed of roses, it was a struggle throughout. I am grateful to Makerere University for a grant that enabled me to pursue this degree. Last but not least, I thank my colleagues who contributed in various capacities to the process of writing this work: William Muhumuza, Paul Omach, Andrew Ellias State, R.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION and COMMUNICATIONS in UGANDA
    ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION and COMMUNICATIONS IN UGANDA: ORGANIZATIONS AND RESOURCES A Report Compiled for USAID/Uganda by the Environmental Education and Communication Project "GreenCOM" USAID Contract No. PCE-5839-C-00-3068-00 Ralph Ted Field, Ph.D. August, 1994 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Research for "Organizations and Resources for Environmental Eduction and Communications in Uganda" work was undertaken from July 7 through August 6, 1994. Seventy-one persons were interviewed providing data to profile 41 organizations with resources for, or having an interest in, environmental eduction in Uganda. The report provides an overview of environmental eduction and communications in Uganda. The major finding of the consultancy is that conditions for supporting national environmental eduction programs are rapidly evolving: o There is great interest in environmental education; o There are pressing environmental issues which can be addressed through environmental eduction's holistic and scientific approach (e.g. soil conservation; fuelwood shortages; and wildlife conservation;) o individuals within several key groups are beginning to take independent action to create environmental eduction programs (e.g. teachers at the Institute for Teachers' Education, and staff and leaders of indigenous NGOs;) and, o Donors, Ministry of Eduction, and Uganda National Parks express both interest and willingness to support environmental eduction -- when the time is right. However, before conditions are fully ripe to nurture a full-scale national environmental eduction and communication program involving formal education agencies, several events must occur: o Basic reforms of the Ministry of Eduction need to be complete (e.g. the first phase of the SUPER project;) o The location of the National Environmental Management Authority within the GOU and its role vis-a-vis environmental eduction must be decided.
