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.

  • 23 East African Railways and Harbours Administration
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Washing%on, D.C. ast Africa High Commission November 29, 195 (2) East African Railways and Harbours Administration Mr. Walter S. Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 22 Fifth Avenue New York 6, New York Dear Mr. Rogers The public Railways and Inland Marine Service of ast Africa, a] oerated by the Railways and Harbours Administration, are by far the rlncipal means of transport of the area. In 1992 they performed some I,98,60,O ton miles of freight haulage and some 6,,898 passenger orneys over ,O99 route miles of metre gauge railway and other routes. The present role of the railway is varie. At the outlying pointB it is rovidlng access to new agrlc,tural areas and to mineral operations. Along established lines it continues to bring in the capital equipment for development and the import goods in demand by the uropean, Asian and African population; but it also is serving increasingly as an economic integrator, allowing regional agricultural specialization so that each smal bloc of territory ned not remain fully self sufficient in food grains. The comparatively cheap*haulage to the coast of larger quantities of export produce, sisal, cotton, coffee, sod-ash, is a necessary facility for the expanding economy of .East Africa. The railway also gives mobility to labor in ast Africa, facilitating the migrations necessary for agricultural purposes and for industries denendent upon large numbers of African personnel. By providing longer heavier haulge services, the railways complement their own and other motor transport service; the natural difficulties of road building and maintanance being formidable in East Africa, it is usually accepted that truck haulage routes should be ancilary to the railway.

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), “Continuous technological change and innovation are among the main determinants of productivity growth and as such are necessary conditions for the welfare of nations and regions” (2001). Low levels of scientific and technological development harm least developed countries, where the comparative cost of missing out on the benefits of STI is far higher than in the OECD, in profound ways (Farley et al, 2007). As the UNIDO (the United Nations Industrial Development Organization) Position Paper on Innovation Systems for Development states: In the face of the opportunities presented by globalization, and the multiple challenges arising from poverty and resource scarcity, the ability to innovate relates not just to the ability to survive but the ability to thrive. Innovation lies at the heart of peoples’, firms’, sectors’, and countries’ ability to cope with change (Farley et al, 2007).

    1 Sanyu Babies’ Home Quarterly Newsletter – Issue 41– October– December, 2018 IN THIS ISSUE Letter from the Chairman Letter from the Director Hello’s & Goodbye’s Ezekiel’s life story Samuel says goodbye to SBH Livingstone weds Evelyn The Guesthouse SBH Celebrate Christmas Staff Awards Update on Allan Update on Gideon Volunteer Report: Bethany Wilson Volunteer Opportunities Sponsor a Child Donations Needed How to Donate Donors this quarter LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN- Dr Stephen Kituuka – Board Chairman We thank GOD who has brought us to the end of 2018, and made it possible for us to start 2019. 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.
