  • In the Preservation of Documentary Heritage: a Professional Challenge for Uganda
    Date : 02/07/2006 The place of ‘Library, Archives and Museum’ in the Preservation of Documentary Heritage: A professional challenge for Uganda Elisam Magara Senior Lecturer, East African School of Library and Information Science, Makerere University Kampala, Uganda Meeting: 96 Preservation and Conservation with Continuing Professional Education and Workplace Learning and the Preservation and Conservation Core Activity Simultaneous Interpretation: No WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract Libraries, archives and museum constitute a major part of the people’s life and reflect the diversity of people’s languages and cultures in the knowledge society. Despite of the colonial influence, many African countries including Uganda have preserved their natural and cultural heritage in terms of social tradition and documentary heritage with little emphasis on the integration of the functions of the libraries, archives and museum. A survey on selected institutions that are involved in the collection, storage, preservation and promotion on the use of natural, historical, cultural documentary heritage in Uganda was conducted. The data was obtained through interviews of key persons that were selected purposively from those institutions, attending the consultative meetings with staff at the National Library of Uganda, Uganda Museum, National Archives and East African School of Library and Information Science, department of Records and Archives Management. The paper also attempted to review the literature about the subject. Findings indicated that there is lack of a strategy in co- ordinating the functions of libraries, archives and museum in documenting and preserving the documentary heritage in Uganda.

    Language: English Original: English PROJECT: KAMPALA CITY ROADS REHABILITATION PROJECT COUNTRY: UGANDA ESIA SUMMARY FOR THE PROPOSED SELECTED ROAD LINKS AND JUNCTIONS/INTERSECTIONS TO IMPROVE MOBILITY IN KAMPALA CITY Date: May 2019 Team Leader: G. MAKAJUMA, Transport Engineer, RDGE.3 Preparation Team E&S Team Member: E.B. KAHUBIRE, Social Development Officer, RDGE4 /SNSC 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Traffic congestion in Kampala city is fast growing due to a combination of poor roads network, uncontrolled junctions, and insufficient roads capacity which is out of phase with the increasing traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) on Kampala roads. This congestion results into higher vehicle operating costs, long travel times and poor transport services. The overall city aesthetics and quality of life is highly compromised by the dilapidated paved roads and sidewalks, unpaved shoulders and unpaved roads which are sources of mud and dust that hovers over large sections of the City. 1.2. The Government of Uganda through Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) with support from the African Development Bank intends to improve mobility in Kampala City through improvement of selected road links and Junctions/intersections. The selected junctions/intersections are to be signalized while the selected roads are to be dualled or reconstructed or upgraded to paved standard. 1.3. The National Environmental Act, CAP 153 requires that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is undertaken for all projects that are listed under the third schedule of the Act with a view of sustainable development. The proposed project is one of the projects listed under Section 3 (Transportation) of the Schedule. Therefore, to fulfill legal requirements an EIA has been conducted for the proposed project as part of the consultancy services for the preliminary and detailed engineering design of selected road links and junctions/intersections to improve mobility in Kampala City under the Second Kampala Institutional and Infrastructure Development Project.

  • Personification of Uganda's Historic Buildings
    G.J. I.S.S., Vol. 2(2) 2013:1-5 ISSN: 2319-8834 EMBODIMENT OF UGANDA’S HISTORIC BUILDINGS Philip Kwesiga, PhD Makerere University, School of Industrial and Fine Arts, P. O. Box 7062, KAMPALA, UGANDA Abstract This paper presents the findings and experiences regarding the Uganda’s buildings history, architectural education and production of building spaces in Uganda during the nineteenth and twentieth century. It investigates how local low- tech, attitudes, norms and values in Uganda architecture have been presented and represented in changing high-tech innovations, social structures, which they, in turn, can be seen to reproduce. The starting point is that the shift in building space itself reflect patterns of contemporary technological, socio-economic, cultural and power relations in Uganda in general and globalization in particular. It would seem, therefore, that the results of this paper lead us to attempt to account for previous technical knowledge dispositions, specific to economic, social and cultural history, in Uganda and the wider humanity. In other words, it would seem that the past local technology has left its mark on both recent and present activities and attitudes to building spaces. With effort from the existing building space groups and institutions of higher learning, the trends of in building spaces will continue to change but that there is need to conserve those unique historic buildings. Key Words: Conservation, Built Environment., Reconstruction, Heritage buildings, Sites, Design history, and Education. Introduction The notion of building practices and networks as ‘personification’ within Uganda’s largely oral economy, not only changes our understanding of architectural studies, but also our understanding of individuals’ and communities’ relationship to the built space.
