  • Art As Social Practice: Transforming Lives Using Sculpture in HIV/AIDS
    cultural geographies 18(3) 275–296 Art as social practice: transforming © The Author(s) 2010 Reprints and permission: sagepub. co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav lives using sculpture in HIV/AIDS DOI: 10.1177/1474474010377548 awareness and prevention in Uganda http://cgj.sagepub.com Lilian Nabulime Makerere University, Uganda Cheryl McEwan Geography Department, Durham University Abstract This article explores the possibilities of art as social practice in the context of the fight against HIV/AIDS. It is inspired by notions of art having the capacity to move beyond the spaces of galleries into an expanded field, and thus beyond the visual and into the social. The article examines the potential for sculpture to play a transformative role in HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, and in transforming the gender relations that shape the dynamics of the spread of the disease. These ideas are developed through discussion of research conducted in Uganda and in the UK, which sought to develop forms of sculptural practice for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention in Uganda. The article explores the ways in which a series of soap sculptures are an effective tool in the fight against the disease, particularly in communities with high rates of illiteracy and in which discussion of sex and sexuality remains largely taboo. The article contends that countering taboo and facilitating dialogue between women and men, thus encouraging attitudinal and behavioural change, are perhaps the most significant impacts that this form of sculpture can make. This is because while awareness of the disease in Uganda is often high, having the capacity to discuss and act upon this awareness is often problematic, largely because of fear, stigma and taboo, and the unequal gender relations that determine the nature of men and women’s sexual lives.

The meeting was attended by delegates from different partners from University of Edinburgh, Ceva Santé Animale, Veterinarians without Boarders, Makerere University (College of Veterinary Medicine Animal Resources), IK Investment Partners/IK Aid and Relief Enterprise, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and Ugandan participants.

White Gold; Opportunities for Dairy Sector Development Collaboration in East Africa. Centre for Development Innovation, Wageningen UR (University & Research centre). CDI report CDI-14-006. Wageningen. Abstract A study of the dairy sector in six East African countries was followed by a dairy expert consultation in Uganda in April 2014. The objective of the initiative was to explore possibilities to improve coordination among development agencies, investors and other value chain stakeholders and governments, and for creating synergy within and between the different countries. This report describes outcomes of both study and consultation and is intended to serve as a reference document for all stakeholders. It includes recommendations and priority actions that should enable stakeholders to capitalize on the opportunities in the East African dairy sector and clarify the roles of various partners in this endeavour (donors, public sector, and private sector). Study and consultation were initiated by the Inter-Agency Donor Group (IADG) on pro-poor livestock research and development.

  • Makerere University Annual Report 2014
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014 VISION To be the leading insti tuti on for academic excellence and innovati ons in Africa MISSION To provide innovati ve leading, learning, research and services responsive to nati on- al and global needs. CORE VALUES 1. Allegiance to the insti tuti on. 2. Integrity. 3. Customer responsiveness. 4. Professionalism. 5. Openness to diversity. Website: www.mak.ac.ug FOREWORD The Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act 2001, stipulates that all universities prepare annual reports for each calendar year. Similarly, the Makerere University Strategic Plan 2008/09-2018/19 envisaged an annual review process as part of the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework to track implementation. The plan outlined performance indicators to guide annual assessment and inform institutional learning. The 2014 report provides updates on progress in the implementation of the University Strategy. We are cognisant that the premier higher education institution status of Makerere University infers responsibility and that our actions have impact on the lives of many people. We have embraced this role enthusiastically and each and every year we learn more about the shared value we can create through our students, the research we undertake and the relationships we spawn at community, national and international levels to improve the world we live in. It is therefore heart-warming to say that the 2014 has been a year of promise considering the projects that have been tabled, the partnerships made and the achievements realised. We have witnessed remarkable progress in teaching and learning. Some of the milestones include a wider appreciation for student centred learning, which was one of the primary thrusts outlined in the University strategy.
