  • The National Library of Uganda: Challenges Faced in Performing Its Institutional Practices
    University of Nebraska - Lincoln DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal) Libraries at University of Nebraska-Lincoln Spring 2-23-2021 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices Jane Kawalya [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac Part of the Library and Information Science Commons Kawalya, Jane, "The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices" (2021). Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 5073. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/5073 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices By Jane Kawalya (PhD) 1.0 BACKGROUND The idea of establishing the NLU started in 1997. Kawalya (2009) identified several factors which led to the establishment of the NLU. Before the enactment of the National Library Act 2003, Uganda had a national library system composed of Makerere University Library (MULIB) and the Deposit Library and Documentation Center (DLDC), which were performing the functions of a national library. Meanwhile the Public Libraries Board (PLB) was performing the functions of a national library service. However, due to the decentralization of services, according to the Local Government Act 1997, the Public Libraries Act 1964 was repealed thus weakening the PLB. The public libraries were taken over by the districts which left the PLB with few functions. There was therefore a need for an institution to take over important functions which had been carried out by the PLB. It was also realized that the few responsibilities would lead to the retrenchment of the PLB staff at the headquarters.

Abstract Uganda, like many other countries in the Global South, is in dire need of affordable housing. According to the 2017 Uganda National Household Survey, the number of poor Ugandans increased from 6.6 million in 2012/13 to 10 million in 2017 (Twinoburyo 2018). Uganda’s population growth is also the fourth highest in the world (The World Bank Group 2018). With the cost of manufacturing and purchasing construction materials like cement increasing due to scarcity of raw materials (Kamukama 2018), many Ugandans are unable to afford to construct homes.
