Today we are celebrating the 9th graduation ceremony of Cavendish University Uganda. It is the first graduation we are doing virtually because we wanted to balance the need for promoting students’ employability with the need to prevent the spread of the Novel Corona Virus. I congratulate you - the graduands – wherever you are watching this from, because you worked very hard and endured the pain and sacrifice that goes with rigorous and highly demanding university education. I know that education journey is neither short nor smooth. It requires hard work, sustained courage and the constant stress of having to sit periodic examinations to prove that you actually mastered the intended learning outcomes. I join your professors and instructors who trained you, in applauding your achievement. By the same token, I join your parents, sponsors, relatives and friends who must be overjoyed that you have successfully completed your studies at Cavendish University Uganda and are graduating today. For this 2020 graduation, the university management chose the theme: “Research and Innovation as Tools for Growth and Development”. I approved this theme because I know that workable solutions to the global challenges of today and tomorrow cannot simply be by intuition but must be evidence-based. I also know that innovation is what will make the difference between today and tomorrow if the future is to be better than the present. There is not a single organisation in the world today that isn’t searching for innovative ways to improve its productivity, sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness. Your own employability and career development is thus dependent on your ability to convert your acquired knowledge into better ways of doing business, improving service delivery and scaling big ideas.

  • THE ROLE of the NATIONAL FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE (Nafirri) INFORMATION CENTRE in DISSEMINATING INFORMATION to RESEARCHERS and EDUCATORS
    THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE (NaFIRRI) INFORMATION CENTRE IN DISSEMINATING INFORMATION TO RESEARCHERS AND EDUCATORS Alice Endra [email protected] National Fisheries Resources Research Institute (NaFIRRI) P.O Box 343, Jinja, Uganda 37th IAMSLIC Conference Zanzibar, Tanzania, October 16-20, 2011 Abstract: Information plays a vital role in the day-to-day decision making of a country’s organizations and policy makers. NaFIRRI Information Centre has played a major role in ensuring that scientists and researchers access relevant information to enable them produce quality research products. The paper discusses the role played by E-Board, a locally established network to increase access to information available within the information centre. NaFIRRI electronic board is a LAN based service that was devised to electronically facilitate information dissemination and communication within the institute. The paper looks at the different components of the E-board and the Aqualink program under the information section that was established to disseminate information on biodiversity conservation among school children and teachers. It discusses the success achieved by this program so far. Keywords: information access, information dissemination, Electronic Board, Aqualink program, biodiversity conservation, aquatic sciences. Introduction Information plays a vital role in the day-to-day decision making process of a country’s organization and policy makers. Research has shown that decision makers often adapt their decision strategies to the information environment (Payne, Bettman and Johnson, 1993). Information is needed at all levels and it is the foundation of effective planning and management as long as the information is used and disseminated. NaFIRRI Information Centre has played a major role in ensuring that scientists, technicians and other researchers from the region access relevant information to enable them produce quality research products for effective policy and decision making through its electronic information dissemination infrastructure.
