Consequently, my gratitude extends to a great number of individuals whose invaluable support, over the years, has enabled me to finish it. Two persons have been particularly important to me when working on this book. Professor Björn Beckman has been my supervisor ever since my undergraduate days and I cannot really express how thankful I am to have benefited from his wisdom, sharp intellect and generosity as a mentor, colleague and friend over the years. It has been a wonderful learning experience in the best sense. Haruna Bukenya in Masaka, Uganda, has become much more than a research assistant, as the term goes. He is a colleague and a friend, with whom I have shared all the practical and intellectual ups and downs of fieldwork as well as wonderful meals in his home. Many people have commented on this work at various stages of its development. In the Department of Political Science, Stockholm University; special thanks go to Henrik Berglund, Drude Dahlerup, Eva Hansson and Magnus Lembke. During the final stages, I received very valuable comments from Henrik Angerbrandt, Maud Eduards, Lasse Lindström and Rune Premfors. Other people whose comments and criticisms have strengthened the arguments in this book immensely are: Emmanuel Akwetey, Gunilla Andræ, Yusuf Bangura, Helena Bjuremalm, Jeremy Gould, Ben Jones, Raufu Mustapha, Cyril viii Acknowledgements ix Obi, Lars Rudebeck, K. Sivaramakrishnan, Olle Törnquist, and the late Mariken Vaa. Also in the department, Lena Helldner and Claes Linde offered invaluable support. Merrick Tabor skilfully copyedited the manuscript into readable English. Peter Mungai provided formatting expertise towards the very end. The research was generously supported by Sida/Sarec, for which I am most grateful. An early travel grant from the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala was also very valuable. In Kampala, the Centre for Basic Research (CBR) became a second home. Thanks to everyone at CBR for the assistance and friendship. During my first visits, the then executive director, the late Nyangabyaki Bazaara, with typical generosity supported me with practical assistance, intellectual discussions and enjoyable music. May you rest in peace. For comments on various drafts at CBR seminars, I wish to thank Godfrey Asiimwe, John-Jean Barya, Nyangabyaki Bazaara, Nicholas de Torrenté, Frederick Golooba-Mutebi, David Kibikyo, Mwambutsya Ndebesa, Joe Oloka-Onyango, Samson Opolot and Edward Rubanga. Simon Rutabajuuka read and commented upon the entire manuscript. Sallie Simba Kayunga, Richard Ssewakiryanga, David Ouma Balikowa, Anders Jeppsson, and Sam Okuonzi were all very helpful at different stages. Other friends in Kampala and Nairobi who have always given me of their precious time and immense knowledge are Andrew Mwenda, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, Charles Onyango-Obbo and Sylvia Tamale. In the past, I was repeatedly treated to hospitality and friendship in Nairobi by Per and Lilian Karlsson. I am happy to be able to pay back that particular debt now! Ros-Mari Bålöw, Mia Haglund-Heelas and Paul Heelas, and Pernilla Trägårdh and Fredrik Malmberg at various times opened their homes for me in Kampala. Thank you all. x Between Militarism and Technocratic Governance In Masaka, I would particularly like to thank Michael Ssali, Eddie Ssejjoba, Vincent Basajja, John Kinsman, Sabina Bergsten and Nils Fagerberg, who all did their very best to make me feel at home. There are also innumerable other people in Masaka who assisted me in different ways, many without knowing it. And above all: to everyone in Bulando who took their time and shared their experiences with me – mwebale nnyo! A special thank you extends to Per Karlsson and Sverker Finnström for our ongoing informal seminar on Ugandan politics and society. It has been great – long may it continue! My parents, Eva and Ragnar Sjögren have always supported me to the full in every way possible. I am immensely thankful to you. Finally, my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude goes to Helena and our children Mikael and Rebecka, whose love, support, endurance and shared interest in Ugandan politics have exceeded all I could ever hope for.

Introduction to Working Papers on The Politics of Domestic Resource Mobilization for Social Development This paper is part of a series of outputs from the research project on The Politics of Domestic Resource Mobilization for Social Development. The project seeks to contribute to global debates on the political and institutional contexts that enable poor countries to mobilize domestic resources for social development. It examines the processes and mechanisms that connect the politics of resource mobilization and demands for social provision; changes in state-citizen and donor-recipient relations associated with resource mobilization and allocation; and governance reforms that can lead to improved and sustainable revenue yields and services.

    Palliative Care for People Living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda: an Investigation of Patients and Caregivers' Outcome and Professional Perspectives

    Palliative Care for People Living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda: An Investigation of Patients and Caregivers' Outcome and Professional Perspectives By Wesley Too, BSe Nursing (Hons), MPH Thesis submitted to The University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ©October 2011 ABSTRACT Background: Although antiretroviral treatment is expanding in sub-Saharan Africa, the World Health Organization advocates for integration of palliative care with HAAR T because pain, other distressing symptoms and complex psychosocial challenges persist throughout the HIV trajectory. Palliative care improves the outcome for patients with HIV and may complement antiretroviral treatment by increasing adherence through better management of side effects from the treatment, providing patient and family-centred holistic care, and giving end-of-life care when necessary. However, integrating what have become two disciplines is challenging. Aim: To study the implications for palliative care provision in the context of changing policy to universal access to HAART for people living with advanced AIDS (PL WA) in Uganda. Research questions addressed in the study included: 1. How do patients with advanced AIDS (stage III and IV) and with palliative care needs and their families experience care delivery and receipt over a period of8 weeks? 2. How is the morphine roll-out programme among advanced AIDS patients operationalized in Uganda? 3. What are the challenges faced by health care workers involved in delivery and implementation of integrated palliative care for patients with advanced AIDS? 4. What are the views of key opinion leaders on development of palliative care policies in Uganda? Methods: A mixed methods approach was employed.
