Uganda has made giant strides in the fight against HIV and one of the latest initiatives by the Government is the Presidential Fast Track Initiative to end AIDS as a public health threat in Uganda by 2030. We bring you the story of what transpired at an event in Kalungu district to launch the initiative in Central Buganda region, where the Unit’s efforts in supporting the Government in trying to understand the HIV epidemic by setting up its first field site in Kyamulibwa, Kalungu District were recognized. The Unit’s transfer to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine took place in February 2018, following preparations at different levels. To commemorate the transfer, the Unit held a series of meetings and activities that climaxed in a stakeholders’ event in Entebbe and breaking ground for construction of a new state of the art research clinic. We bring you this story from the event held in Entebbe. Technology is fast evolving and with it, the increased ability to manage tasks that were previously considered daunting and time consuming. In this bid, the Unit recently installed a state of the art video conferencing facility in Entebbe, thereby reducing on the need for people to physically travel for meetings. Read about this new development and how you can benefit from it. A picture is worth a thousand words, we therefore bring you a range of photos from the event to commemorate the Unit transfer to the LSHTM in Entebbe, to the cultural gala held at the Masaka field station that was not only a display of elegant traditional dressing, but also an exhibition of mouthwatering dishes from across the country. Enjoy this edition and we look forward to receiving your input and feedback. God bless you all, Pamela N. Wairagala Communications and Engagement Officer 1 | Heartbeat The Quartery Newsletter for the MRC/UVRI Uganda Research Unit on AIDS MRC/UVRI Uganda Research Unit transfers to London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine The MRC/UVRI Uganda Research Unit (the Unit) commemorated the transfer to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) on 11 May and unveiled its new name; the Medical Research Council/ Uganda Virus Research Institute and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (MRC/UVRI and LSHTM) Uganda Research Unit. The event was officiated by the Minister of State for Health in charge of General Duties, Hon. Sarah Opendi who represented the Minister of Health and commended both the MRC-UK and the LSHTM for supporting research in Uganda and reiterated the government’s commitment to increasing funding towards research. “On behalf the Uganda government and on my own behalf, I would like to extend our gratitude to the MRC-UK and the LSHTM for supporting medical research in Uganda, particularly in the area of HIV/AIDS which has contributed to and informed treatment and care policies in the country”. She further commented “As the Unit expands its areas of research to address emerging health issues such as Endemic, Neglected, Emerging and Re-emerging Infections; and Non-Communicable Diseases, we pledge our support as government ensure that research work in those areas is adequately funded”. Prof. Pontiano Kaleebu, Director UVRI and MRC/UVRI and LSHTM commended the MRC-UK for the funding towards the Unit, which has enabled the Unit to conduct groundbreaking research. “The Unit has conducted various research, particularly on HIV/AIDS since 1989 and has contributed an incredible amount to the available body of knowledge, both nationally and globally. All this would not have been possible without the funding that we have received over the years from the MRC-UK”, he said. He further noted the opportunities that the transfer would avail researchers at both institutions, “We are excited to join the LSHTM and are optimistic about the numerous opportunities the partnership will provide to research teams both at the Unit and at the School. The transfer not only offers a wider platform for our researchers to train, practice and collaborate, but increases capacity and access to resources to undertake more cutting-edge medical research”. Prof Kaleebu added that he was grateful to the UK government for the agreement to fund a new research centre to aid scientific research and at the same function ground was broken to pave way for construction of the centre near the Entebbe based facility. Speaking on behalf of the British High Commission in Uganda, Mr. Peter West, the High Commissioner reiterated the value of the work conducted by the Unit. “Through the MRC- UK, the UK tax payers have supported the Unit’s work in Uganda for the last 30 years. I am glad to note that this continued funding has been possible because the UK government acknowledges the good use and value for money exhibited by the Unit”, he noted. Professor Peter Piot, Director of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine noted that the transfer of the Unit to LSHTM would increase opportunities for research on global health issues. “The new partnership presents major opportunities for both institutions’ staff and research output. Our School becomes more global than ever and increases The Quartery Newsletter for the MRC/UVRI Uganda Research Unit on AIDS Heartbeat | 2 its access to research facilities and skilled researchers based ‘on-the Director’s Comments ground’, while the Unit will reap Welcome to this edition of the Newsletter, the first after the official the added benefit of LSHTM’s commemoration of the transfer of the Unit to the London School of global reputation and wide-ranging Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and subsequent name change to MRC/UVRI & LSHTM Uganda Research Unit.

  • Challenges of Development and Natural Resource Governance In
    Ian Karusigarira Uganda’s revolutionary memory, victimhood and regime survival The road that the community expects to take in each generation is inspired and shaped by its memories of former heroic ages —Smith, D.A. (2009) Ian Karusigarira PhD Candidate, Graduate School of Global Studies, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan Abstract In revolutionary political systems—such as Uganda’s—lies a strong collective memory that organizes and enforces national identity as a cultural property. National identity nurtured by the nexus between lived representations and narratives on collective memory of war, therefore, presents itself as a kind of politics with repetitive series of nation-state narratives, metaphorically suggesting how the putative qualities of the nation’s past reinforce the qualities of the present. This has two implications; it on one hand allows for changes in a narrative's cognitive claims which form core of its constitutive assumptions about the nation’s past. This past is collectively viewed as a fight against profanity and restoration of political sanctity; On the other hand, it subjects memory to new scientific heuristics involving its interpretations, transformation and distribution. I seek to interrogate the intricate memory entanglement in gaining and consolidating political power in Uganda. Of great importance are politics of remembering, forgetting and utter repudiation of memory of war while asserting control and restraint over who governs. The purpose of this paper is to understand and internalize the dynamics of how knowledge of the past relates with the present. This gives a precise definition of power in revolutionary-dominated regimes.

SBH is concerned by the low rate of adopting boys relative to girls. There should be concerted efforts to cause a change in this pattern. We congratulate Livingstone and Evelyn Semakula on the successful wedding in the SBH family. We also thank all who got involved in the SBH Christmas Party and congratulate babies who received the Holy Sacrament of Baptism. Some SBH staff are traditionally given token appreciation awards. In the true sense of the word all workers in SBH indiscriminately deserve more good awards at a year end, in appreciation of their team work, commitment, dedication and sincerity. It is our request that more people of good will should donate to especially support this cause. SBH requires GOD’s providence in matters of funding development. There is a crisis in sourcing funding for development. Many funding agencies are (as a policy) not keen on financing development work of the cement and mortar type. They would rather support services, supplies, staffing, or items that are directly linked to the current betterment of orphaned children.
