to meet the changing needs of society and for
sustainable development. Purpose of Graduate Training and
Research at Makerere University

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.

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, Tanzania and South
Sudan. 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illustrates, it was retracted to its 2001 position (from 8% admission of international students in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.

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

where it was significant, often times did not get

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-

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.

In 2017, the overall University staff to student ratio was 1:21 which is in line with the ideal of
1:20 according to the Center for Higher Education Transformation (CHET). This is an estimate
based on full-time staff of the university. In addition, there are deliberate efforts by the colleges
to promote co-supervision, co-examination and collaboration with staff from other universities
in the region. There is also a deliberate effort to engage in staff-exchange programmes and vising
professorships.

KeBELA BIOSENSOR PROJECT

CAES students developed a user friendly

and affordable technology dubbed, KeBELA
BIOSENSOR” for testing farm produce for
pesticide residues. KeBELA Technology is
seeking to ease and quicken the process by
producing an affordable and user-friendly
technology, which can be employed by
the standards and certification bodies to
reduce the cost of certification and hence
ease access to the global organic market by
farmers. KeBELA is a hand-held device that
is designed to detect and quantify levels of CAES Students led by Ambrose Kamya (middle) demonstrating the

MaRCCI DIGITALIZES RESEARCH DATA

CAPTURING AND PROCESSING

The Digital Data capture technology is

composed of the barcode scanner, weighing
scale and tablet acquired under MaRCCI
programme to enhance the speed of quality
data capture from the field. Brunno Awio, a
graduate student of Plant Breeding explained
that previously, data was captured manually
on a paper and uploaded on computer taking
a lot of time. The laboratory and field data
processing involves taking the inventory of the
seed stock , weight of every sample so as to
track and help researchers know how the seed
is utilized.

Incubox: The Portable Incubator

Given the small number of incubators in

to get high quality sanitary pads at a cheaper price and
maintain our daughters in schools.

I have been an employee of Makapads for the last five

years and today I lead a team of six other employees.
Makapads is my source of income. I get a salary at the
end of the month and its timely payment. My colleagues
and I are able to sustain our families, pay fees for our
children and we are a happy group thanks to Makerere
University not only that they gave us the jobs but also
helping to keep the girl child in schools.

Cooperative Agreement
In 2017, the Enhanced surveillance CoAG
through the Crane Survey continued to
implement a programmatic activity – Know

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

Violence of Non-Fossil Fuel in Uganda;
The politics of global energy is subject to
increasing academic interest. Most work
focuses on oil, based upon a normative vision
of an energy modernity of fossil fuels and a
coming transition to renewable energy. Dr
Branch argues that by placing charcoal in
its political and historical context, we can
understand its extraction as a continuation of
the violence of the 20-year Northern War. By
focusing on the political violence of energy, the
orthodox academic and policy narrative about
the charcoal industry in Africa can be called

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
