Abstract Although Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) has dominated Uganda’s political scene for over three decades, the capital Kampala refuses to submit to the NRM’s grip. As opposition activism in the city has become increasingly explosive, the ruling elite has developed a widening range of strategies to try and win urban support and constrain opposition. In this paper, we subject the NRM’s strategies over the decade 2010-2020 to close scrutiny. We explore elite strategies pursued both from the ‘top down’, through legal and administrative manoeuvres and a ramping up of violent coercion, and from the ‘bottom up’, through attempts to build support among urban youth and infiltrate organisations in the urban informal transport sector. Although this evolving suite of strategies and tactics has met with some success in specific places and times, opposition has constantly resurfaced.

  • Do Not Bank on Us! Taking Stock of Transparency and Accountability During Crises in Uganda: the Case of Crane Bank Collapse
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRISIS AND RISK COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE MARCH 11-13, 2019, ORLANDO FL, USA Do not bank on us! Taking stock of transparency and accountability during crises in Uganda: the case of Crane Bank collapse Angella Napakol Uganda Christian University Mukono, Uganda Ann Mugunga Hong Kong Baptist University Hong Kong Abstract: This study examined transparency and accountability as bridges to the interpretative and sense making capabilities of the public following the collapse of Crane Bank, Uganda. Content and critical discourse analysis methods were used to: investigate the nature of communication, the information shared; review honesty and responsibility in communication, and also analyze how accountability and transparency are constructed during crisis situations in the South. Assessment of 120 newspaper articles showed that both Crane Bank and Bank of Uganda mainly left it to the media to create and give meaning to stakeholders. Initial communication from both institutions was delayed and subsequent communication was made in a casual, vague and dismissive manner. Transparency and accountability either as information disclosure, responsibility or mutual understanding to translate into sense making for the audience were grossly undermined. Most of the shared information was not aligned to the interpretive capabilities of audiences; and there was no effort to create a good image or influence the audience. The research underscores the importance of transparency and accountability as essential for creating trust in leadership and management, in order to better manage crisis and risk situations. Keywords — Accountability, crisis, sense making, sense giving, transparency ———————————————————————————————————— SUGGESTED CITATION: Napakol, A., & Mugunga, A. (2019). Do not bank on us!

A qualitative study 1Nabukeera Madinah, 2Ali Boerhannoeddin, 3Raja Noriza Binti Raja Ariffin 1Management Faculty , P.O.Box 2555 Mbale Uganda, Islamic University In Uganda 2Department of Administrative studies and Politics Faculty of Economics and Administration Kuala Lumpur P.O. box 50603 Malaysia 3Department of Administrative studies and Politics Faculty of Economics and Administration Kuala Lumpur P.O. box 50603 Malaysia Abstract: Approximately 1500 tonnes are dumped at Kitezi landfill presently in Uganda, due to increased daily generation of solid waste. Although this state of affairs calls for improvement of the practices at the landfill in a sustainable manner to safeguard the environment and uphold public health, the required technology for the landfill is yet to be attained. The aim of this paper is to ascertain and assess the growth and tendencies in landfil utilization in Uganda. In 1970s management of solid was characterized by the use of the traditional open dumping sites normally found in the suburbs of the city, an approach that was suitable since the population was still low. The period from 1986 embraced a decentralized system of management that was accompanied with rapid construction of residential structures and a reduction in spaces for open dumping. This called for a more organized system for solid waste management. Thus waste management became a responsibility of the five divisions under Kampala Capital City Authority.

  • The Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and Their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004
    School of Built Environment, CEDAT Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda and School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden The Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004 Fredrick Omolo-Okalebo Doctoral Thesis in Infrastructure, Planning and Implementation Stockholm 2011 i ABSTRACT Title: Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004 Through a descriptive and exploratory approach, and by review and deduction of archival and documentary resources, supplemented by empirical evidence from case studies, this thesis traces, analyses and describes the historic trajectory of planning events in Kampala City, Uganda, since the inception of modern town planning in 1903, and runs through the various planning episodes of 1912, 1919, 1930, 1951, 1972 and 1994. The planning ideas at interplay in each planning period and their expression in planning schemes vis-à-vis spatial outcomes form the major focus. The study results show the existence of two distinct landscapes; Mengo for the Native Baganda peoples and Kampala for the Europeans, a dualism that existed for much of the period before 1968. Modern town planning was particularly applied to the colonial city while the native city grew with little attempts to planning. Four main ideas are identified as having informed planning and transformed Kampala – first, the utopian ideals of the century; secondly, “the mosquito theory” and the general health concern and fear of catching „native‟ diseases – malaria and plague; thirdly, racial segregation and fourth, an influx of migrant labour into Kampala City, and attempts to meet an expanding urban need in the immediate post war years and after independence in 1962 saw the transfer and/or the transposition of the modernist and in particular, of the new towns planning ideas – which were particularly expressed in the plans of 1963-1968 by the United Nations Planning Mission.
