Page 21 of 39
Curriculum vitae- Assoc. Prof. Dr. Moses Muhumuza [Bsc. Ed. (Bio.&Chem.)-MUST, Msc. (Bio.)-MUST, PhD (APES)-WITS]
aimed at providing local communities neighboring the Mpanga river catchment with appropriate technologies that shall facilitate proper utilization and conservation of water resources. 4. AFROMISON project: Moses Muhumuza is a researcher in the AFROMAISON international project in the Rwenzori Mountains/ Albertine Rift case study. This is a European Union funded project that aims at developing a tool box that shall facilitate integrated natural resource management in the Rwenzori Region. 5. Landslide intervention project. Moses Muhumuza is a team leader for the Landslide Intervention Group (LIG). The landslide intervention group is a distinguished group in the Rwenzori region by its desire and passion for environment and biodiversity conservation. The team was formed in March 2010 by members of staff of Mountains of the Moon University who were previously engaged in environmental conservation works and were concerned about the landslide phenomena that had occurred in various hilly areas of Uganda. Although the initial proposal for the formation of a landslide intervention group was conceived by a team of Mountain of the Moon University lecturers, other interested parties from within and outside the Rwenzori region have joined the team. 6.
