Chapter 1: Background to the Study: Decentralisation and Urban Governance 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. Sibongile, Kitty Tweyanze, Aziz Manuel Kanyemibwa, Mable Ekyarikunda, Beatrice Kabahinda, Charity Makara, Arthur Makara and P.Bwire Lumumba. I am equally grateful to all persons who responded to my questionnaires and interviews, and offered information in all forms that enabled the writing of this work.

  • Uganda Decentralization: Governance Adrift | 3
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 11, Issue 4 | Summer 2010 Decentralization and Conflict in Uganda: Governance Adrift TERRELL G. MANYAK & ISAAC WASSWA KATONO Abstract: This study examines the challenges that threaten one of Africa’s most ambitious experiments in political, administrative and fiscal decentralization. Based on extensive interviews with local government leaders throughout Uganda, the research uncovered a complex interplay of conflicts that impact decision-making effectiveness. The sources of these conflicts center around (a) the impact of national politics on local government as the country approaches the 2011 election, (b) the inability to meet rising citizen demand for services as the tax base of local governments continues to erode, (c) the corrosive impact of social conflicts stemming mostly from poverty and illiteracy complicated by tribal and ethnic differences, and (d) the challenges of developing honest and effective leadership in local government. Can Uganda unravel this web of conflicts to bring meaningful governance to this young nation? Indeed, many countries within the developing world are watching this experiment with a great deal of interest. Introduction The Uganda experiment in local government was born out of a blend of idealism and practical necessity. The idealism arose from a nation that dedicated itself to building democracy after years of brutal despotism. The practical necessity came from the need to provide basic services in an environment where local government had essentially disintegrated. The result was a multilayered system of directly elected district and lower local councils with significant responsibilities for delivering basic services. The international community strongly supported this action and hailed it as an example of how other developing countries should proceed with nation-building.1 While the local government system was initially well accepted, Ugandans now appear increasingly disenchanted with the corruption, mismanagement, and bitter political conflicts that are regularly reported in local newspapers.

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 .

Educational reforms in Uganda since 1986, culrninating in the introduction of Universal Primary Education (UPE) in 1996, attempted to reestablish centralized control over education and, by implication, reverse the trend toward the unregulated involvement in education of both of parents and non-state institutions. These reforms ran counter to existing participatory pattems of educational financing and administration, as well as to the political philosophy underpinning the National Resistance Movement (NRM) governrnent, i.e., democratization and popular participation in decision-making and service delivery.
