I also dedicate this work to my Lecturers and Instructors at the School of Forestry, Environmental and Geographical Sciences for their support and continued guidance. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The study had to be a success because of the contributions from several institutions and individuals. At the institutional level, I am greatly indebted to University for taking me as a graduate student. This enabled me realize the dream of pursuing a graduate program. Special mention also goes to the Department of Forestry, Biodiversity and tourism for availing field specific literature and facilitating me through the library and computer laboratory within the department. Without the department's assistance, the fieldwork would have been a nightmare. At the individual level, many thanks are due to my supervisors, Associate Professor John Bosco Lamoris Okullo for his tireless guidance, encouragement and constructive criticisms. His input has been indispensable in improving the quality of this work. I owe special mention to all the farmers interviewed for cooperation. I also thank my fellow students whose generous assistance enabled me share their vast knowledge and experience in agro forestry practices. Their contributions were instrumental in shaping my original ideas and in identifying an appropriate research design and methodology for the study. They may not be aware of how this was an inspiration to me. The list is long, but special mention goes to Obong Ronald, Okello Samuel Baker, Kamya Joseph, Nabasa Hillary, Ochen Isaac, Ntege Guard, Serubidde Abubaker, Okou Robert, Ogwang Jimmy Jacob, Epila Joshua, Ogwang Trevor Eddie, Okwel Jimmy and Ebong Alex for their good and constructive ideas and their financial support and a God blessed future I wish to them all. At the family level, my parents and the entire family were instrumental to my success in my academics. The final outcome of this study, however, remains my responsibility. Finally and most importantly, I am grateful to Muljibhai Madhvani Group for their financial support and the almighty God for His exceedingly abundant grace and love that has seen me this far. iii
