The purpose of graduate training is to impart skills to the students in the art and science of scholarship, and broader skills acquisition, but above all, to develop independent and critical thinkers able to conduct quality research and innovations. The end products are researchers who can engage with the broader environment of stakeholders as well as the knowledge economy in order for them to remain relevant to local conditions. The students are expected to probe deeply into their subjects and be at the forefront of research and innovation in their field. Research is a craft, and the dissertation and/or innovation is the masterpiece—the evidence that the practitioner is now a fully-fledged craftsperson and a skilled specialist in the knowledge economy. 18 RESEARCH AT MAKERERE UNIVERSITY 2018

Internationalization

Makerere University’s enrolment of international students is still low at only 3% of the total student population. Most of the international students come from Kenya, and South . Whereas internationalization has been one of the pillars of the university according to the current Strategic Plan, there has been little change over the period; indeed, as the figure below illustrates, it was retracted to its 2001 position (from 8% admission of international students in 2008 to 2% in 2015).

Figure 5: Percentage International 26 RESEARCH AT MAKERERE UNIVERSITY 2018

A key aspect in internationalization at Makerere University is that it was driven by Kenyan students as the traditional catchment area; even though they have traditionally been referred to as East Africans alongside other students from the East African region. The admission of Kenyan students peaked in 2008 and had a nose dive from 2009 to its lowest in a 15-year period.

Figure 6: Admission of Kenyans, Tanzanians and Other International Students

Accordingly, deliberate efforts are needed to ensure that Makerere University becomes more attractive to the international community. 2018 RESEARCH AT MAKERERE UNIVERSITY 27

Research at Makerere University

Since its inception, Makerere University has evolved into one of the leading universities in sub-Saharan Africa. In the 1950s, 60s and early 70s the university experienced her most productive decades with a vibrancy of teaching in the region, research and engagement with government and the public through public lectures and other fora of academic and political engagement. From the mid 70s to the mid 80s, the volume of research not only decreased but also increasingly became project-based and dependent on individual motivation. Most of the research that was Minister of Education & Sports, Hon. Janet K. Museveni officiates at carried out under such circumstances, even the Makerere-Sweden Annual Planning Meeting, April 2018 where it was significant, often times did not get registered as a Makerere University product. At the dawn of the 90s, with the introduction of privately sponsored academic programs, the university was more focused on the teaching function.

The plight of research at Makerere University was overturned by the advent of Institution- wide Research Capacity building funding from development partners in the 90s. These programs were instituted with innovative mechanisms like sandwich arrangements intended to avert the so-called brain-drain syndrome; long-term in design to allow for Makerere-Sweden Annual Planning meeting April 2018 completion of high–level training especially at PhD; flexible enough to allow the university to 2020. Makerere University was awarded develop competences in its areas of research SEK275,000,000 to enable Ugandan public priority; enabling collaborative networks universities and Swedish partner universities among researchers and supervisors in different implement joint research projects including institutions.

Academic Staff Qualifications

The University Policy on Appointments and Promotions stipulates that a PhD is a requirement for a teaching position at the level of Lecturer and above. With the exception of the Clinical Disciplines, this applies across the university. Most of the Assistant Lecturers are registered for their PhDs whereas most of the Teaching Assistants are those members who excelled in their undergraduate studies (got first classes or upper second classes degrees) and are doing their Masters degrees. The Makerere University Council approved the position of Graduate Fellow to replace that of Teaching Assistants.

3. MakSPH/CDC Enhanced Surveillance Cooperative Agreement In 2017, the Enhanced surveillance CoAG through the Crane Survey continued to implement a programmatic activity – Know Your Sero Status (KYSS). KYSS targets key populations including female and male sex workers (F/MSW), the gay community drug addicts, transgendered persons (TG), and other high risk groups such as people engaged in multiple concurrent partnerships, people Some of the stakeholder workshops that were conducted in Kasese engaging in transactional sex, people with HIV- and Kamwenge districts. positive partners, or adolescents having sex with older partners. In addition, KYSS offers HIV Testing and Counseling (HTC) services to the general population. KYSS uses information technology (IT)) and organizational set-up to facilitate standardized pre-test, behavioral, and post-test counselling (for selected clients). KYSS also uses SMS technology to offer 1-anonymous partner notification, 2-reminders for future testing, 3-electronic test invitations to peers (e-coupons), and 4-reminders to link HIV-positive clients to care. Besides the crane survey activities, the enhanced surveillance CoAG implements the O_Link study in the districts of Kamwenge and Kasese.

DR. CHRISTINE KYALIMPA Further study would be required on how to process the plant into insecticides. Currently the plant is wildly growing in forests and mainly in the Albertine Graben (western and west Nile regions of Uganda) where oil and gas exploration is active. It is possible that the environmental changes in the Albertine Graben during oil and gas exploration may affect the growth of Tagetes minuta.

Christine Kyalimpa, PhD at the 68th Graduation Ceremony of Makerere University, January 2018 Christine Kyalimpa, was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry of Makerere University at the 68th Graduation Ceremony of Makerere University, January 2018. Christine’s study titled, ‘Evaluation of Insecticidal Potency of the Essential Oil and Structure Tagetes minuta- The plant used for Dr. Christine Kyalimpa’s study Elucidation of the Bioactive Compounds from Tagetes Minuta’was intended to determine whether essential oils from Tagetes minuta can be used as an insecticide against mosquitoes carrying malaria causing parasites. The research obtained essential oils from the plant to determine its activity, effectiveness and anti-oxidant potential. Phytochemical investigation on the solvent extracts yielded several pure compounds mainly belonging to the terpenoids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and thiophenes thereby accounting for the vast traditional use of T. minuta for pesticidal purposes. The pure compounds were studied further for their anti-cancer and anti-plasmodial properties and have proved effective. Recommendations out of the PhD thesis include: government should consider review of policy to support cultivation of Tagetes minuta as a source of mosquito insecticide; provision of information to the population so the plant is widely cultivated; encourage the commercial growing of the plant 2018 COLLEGE OF NATURAL SCIENCES (CoNAS) 191
