Foreword

This report is a representation of the major activities and achievements in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Science (CAES) covering the academic year 2014/2015. The report covers the strategic areas as outlined in the University strategic areas and events within the prescribed period. It covers the academic profiles including student enrolment and registration, student graduation and new programs. The report also outlines innovations in teaching and research, resource mobilization and collaborative efforts. You will also find sections on knowledge sharing and transfer to society, human

resource and capacity building efforts and publications.

During this academic year 2014-2015, the College endeavoured to live to its mission to produce professionals and practitioners, generate and disseminate knowledge and technologies to enhance agricultural development, sustainable natural resource utilization and environmental management. All units have recorded notable achievements and these are attributed to the dedicated efforts of staff and students coupled with university leadership and support accorded to the college by various agricultural related donors and other development partners.

At the national level, several workshops, seminars, exhibitions and conferences involving several stakeholders have been successfully held. At the international scene our staff attended the Deans and Principals meeting of RUFORUM member Universities. The meeting was hosted by the University of Gezira and Kordofan University at Rotana Hotel in Khartoum during which, the RUFORUM Strategic Business Plan 2015-2020 was drafted.

The college participated in the Source of the Nile Agriculture Show and Trade Fair popularly known as the Jinja show. The show is a national event during which research institutions, seed companies, agribusiness firms and other businesses come together to showcase their latest innovations and technologies. This year was 23rd Source of the Nile National Agricultural Show and Trade Fair which took place from 6th – 13th July 2015. The theme for this year‘s exhibition was: “climate smart agriculture for sustainable food security and wealth creation”. CAES is a permanent exhibitor at the show ground and has since last year expanded its land holding to cater for the Food Science Business Incubation Centre. The Micro Gardening Initiative (UMGI) by a group of students from the Department of Extension and Innovation Studies (DEIS) and the Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO) and Earthworms as alternative protein feed for poultry were the shining attractions at the show, including meeting some of their own subsistence costs. The UMGI‘s performance showed that students can and should in future play a more prominent role at the show.

The college continued to attracted eminent national and international visitors. The King of Tooro Kingdom, Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV visited the CAES School of Food Technology Nutrition and Bio engineering to explore partnership with the Food Technology Business Incubation Centre (FTBIC). Tooro Kingdom and Makerere University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cement the relationship. The MoU will first be implemented in the CAES through the School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bio-Engineering to start with. The main objective of the MoU is to partner with your Kingdom to enhance each other‘s areas of interest and development. The European Union (EU) in collaboration with Makerere University and RUFORUM hosted the EU Ambassador H.E. Mr. Kristian Schmidt. This event served to debrief the university about Erasmus Mundus Programme Scholarships for students & academics and also to profile and market the European Union support to Makerere University.

iii

We successfully conducted all undergraduate and post graduate courses with increased emphasis on training in practical skills to meet the clientele demands. Our students have on average excelled well in their studies. Notably, the college continued to attract several international students in all units. The M.Sc. in Plant Breeding and Seed Systems / PhD Plant Breeding and Biotechnology has exceptionally done well and was able to host 80 students across Africa and conduct new courses in Quantitative Genetics and Advanced Statistical Plant Breeding by extension. The Department of Agribusiness and Natural Resource Economics, participates in a Regional Collaborative Masters Program (MSc. Agricultural and Applied Economics).There are 16 Universities in Eastern and Southern Africa participating in this Program with funding from African Economic Research Consortium (AERC). The Program has one curriculum across the Universities and is jointly reviewed every three years. It has three Semesters of coursework; the first two at mother Universities and the third Semester at University of Pretoria where all the students meet for specialised course units. Our own student, Ms. Asha Nalunga was the overall best student in the coursework in her cohort .She travelled to South Africa, University of Pretoria to receive the "Best Student Award‖. Out of the 16 participating Universities, Makerere University emerged the Best performing University - based on how our students performed. CURAD was voted as number one incubator in Africa in terms of implementation and impact among the six incubators namely CURAD, there was one for Banana from Uganda, one in Kenya, another one in Zambia, Mali and in Ghana. The trophy was delivered to the Principal CAES Prof. Bernard Bashaasha by the Manager CURAD, Mr. Appolo Ssegawa. CURAD is an agribusiness Incubator promoted by Makerere University College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES), NARO and NUCAFFE. It promotes entrepreneurship by students and graduates of Makerere University in business incubation especially those working with agribusiness or farming. It has 64 entrepreneurs that its supporting and has created over 1400 jobs that contributed to its award winning. CURAD also promotes curriculum review activities in CAES due to be finalised by validation at the University Senate.

We also managed to send the 3rd cohort of our undergraduate students to Israel for 11 months paid internship. The students were flagged off to Israel by H.E the President of Uganda represented by his Vice. Hon. Edward Ssekandi at Lugogo Indoor Stadium. The Department of Geography, Geo informatics and Climatic Sciences held a two weeks refresher course for Alumni of Netherlands institutions on Modern Satellite - based Digital Data technologies.

The college continued to excel in research and grant acquisition and has maintained a record in publishing. For the period 2014- 2015, we recorded over 100 publications in peer reviewed journals and other publications in conference proceedings. The college research programs were boosted by several grants especially from RUFORUM, USAID, AGRA, Bill and Melinda Gates, Danida, SCARDA, NORAD, SIDA, SASAKAWA Global 2000, European Union, Makerere University, research organizations and government in various areas of Food science and Nutrition, plant breeding, livestock productivity and climate change mitigation among others.

The college participated in the University wide Curriculum Review process. This is most relevant in responding to the changing demands for the type of graduates by the end users. Other purposes for the review included removing any duplication in programmes and course units; removing any redundant course units and/or programmes; enriching the content of the curricula to address current and emerging national and global challenges; and harmonising course units including the minimum graduation load.

iv

In the area of Research innovations, the Department of Agricultural and Bio systems engineering (ABE) invented the Farmers Multipurpose tractor code named the ‗MV Mulimi‖. The project was funded by the Presidential Initiative Project at a total cost of UGX 25 million. The MV Mulimi development team is made of Prof. Noble Banadda as the PI and co-PIs, namely, Dr. Nicholas Kiggundu and Dr. Ahamada Zziwa. The principal Technician is Mr. Ernest Tibaku-Zira assisted by Samuel Mutesasira and Denis Nsubuga who are Agricultural Engineers from Makerere University. MV Mulimi has been tested for and capable of performing five (5) tasks, namely; threshing maize to reduce postharvest losses; pumping water for irrigation; charging phones to keep farmers informed of Agricultural produce markets; hauling agricultural produce up to 1 ton and ploughing fields.. The building of the tractor started on 1st September, 2015 at the departments‘ engineering workshop at the Makerere University Agricultural Research Institute Kabanyolo (MUARIK) using locally available materials. The final product was delivered in a period of two and a half months. The tractor uses diesel of fuel less than a litre per day.

Memorable landmarks for the year include significant strides in the infrastructure development. Using projects overheads, the Principal procured a generator worth over 200,000 million shillings to address the problem of power cuts. This generator serves the School of Agricultural Sciences and the School of Forestry, Environmental and Geographical Sciences. I thank the college management for the support accorded during this bold decision and the Principal Investigators for their egalitarian contributions.

The college acquired the modern state-of –the - art equipment for the Microbiology laboratory at MUARIK under the new project dubbed, “ The Improved Masters Project In Cultivar Development (IMCDA)” funded by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).The acquired equipment includes the Geno grinder worth USD 21,000. This is an automated system to study genetics and DNA. It has a capacity to grind 380 plant samples in three minutes. Previously, lab scientists used a manual motor to grind and this would take three weeks to grind the same amount of plants. The other equipment acquired are the Polimeris Chain Reaction (PCR) that allows the multiplicity of DNA and the Enzyme Linked Immuno Sombet Assay (ELISA) for routine detection of pathogens that affect plants like bacteria, fungi and viruses.

An e- learning centre fully furnished with equipment worth 42, 000 Euros was opened at the School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bio engineering. The overall objective is to create and strengthen capacity of target institutions by improving access to quality and affordable higher education in the area of Food and Nutrition Security through internet based learning.

Under the KOYOKA project, CAES acquired modern state - of -the -art equipment worth 8,160 Euros installed at the Department of Extension and Innovations Studies. The equipment includes a professional video camera and all its accessories, two MAC computers and TV monitors to be used in the production of multimedia e - learning materials. University staff were also trained in the production of multimedia supported e-learning materials using the PhD field - based module in Agricultural and Rural Innovation (ARI).

SIDA injected 100 million shilling towards buying the equipment for the Centre of Excellence in Waste Management at Kabanyolo. Similarly, Makerere University during its Management meeting held on 25th February, 2015 approved the release of 35.2 million shillings as top up to complete the rehabilitation of the centre. Prof. Elly N. Sabiiti is taking up the necessary follow up action.

CAES also opened the Research Grants Office to assist staff in securing resources to support cutting edge research, innovation and outreach to the community. This is third pilot Grants office in Makerere University including the College of Health Sciences and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

v

The first phase of the New FTBIC building was officially handed over to Makerere University by the construction contractor. The hand over followed a practical completion report by the project manager on 25th September, 2015.This project was flagged off in September, 2011 and was scheduled to take 6 months. The project delayed due to challenges related to disputes over land ownership that was later resolved. The Project Manager, Arch. Isaac Nyabwana handed over the building to the Vice Chancellor Makerere University represented by the University Secretary, Mr. Charles Barugahare during the handover ceremony held at the School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bioengineering on October 20th, 2015.

I would like to thank all members of staff and college leadership for the trust and support towards the realisation of all the achievements in this academic year.I realize the gravity of transitional challenges but I am happy to report that by working together we have successfully addressed most of them.My sincere appreciation goes to University top management, government, donors, development partners, students and parents for the support and contributions to the 2014-2015 milestones.

I extend an open hand to all and call upon staff and other stakeholders to focus on the future of the college with optimism as We build for the Future.

2.0: TEACHING AND LEARNING

2.1: Programs

CAES is one of the largest and certainly the most multidisciplinary college offering Agriculture (both Crop and Animal) programs, Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Extension and Innovations, Horticulture, Agricultural Engineering, Food Science and Technology, Nutrition, Forestry, Biodiversity, Environmental Sciences, Geography and Tourism.

The college offersa total of 14 Undergraduate and 28 graduate programs and recently graduated 10 PhDs- the highest in the University.

2.2: The University wide Curriculum Review process

In general, the call to restructure academic programmes was welcome as an opportunity to avoid duplication. It is a University policy requirement that academic programmes are regularly reviewed (after every completion of a cohort. This is most relevant in responding to the changing demands for the type of graduates by the end users. Other purposes for the review included removing any duplication in programmes and course units; removing any redundant course units and/or programmes; enriching the content of the curricula to address current and emerging national and global challenges; and harmonising course units including the minimum graduation load. CAES started the process of reviewing its curriculum in October 2014. The process has been in phases involving Convening School Academic Board meetings to plan the review process. The Boards formed discipline sub-committees to identify any overlaps and duplications in the programmes and course units; identify any redundant programmes and courses units; suggest appropriate levels (year and semester) when a course unit should be offered, consult staff in the various disciplines and departments and give recommendations to the School Board.

The second process involved school Sub-committees making presentations to the School Academic Board which discussed and enriched their recommendations. This was followed by Schools holding Stakeholders‘ retreat including participants from sister Schools in the College, representatives from the Directorate of Quality Assurance Makerere University, Directorate of Research and Graduate Training (DRGT), and Academic Registrar‘s Department. Participants from outside Makerere included representatives from Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industries and Fisheries (MAAIF), NAADS, NARO, ASARECA, Sasakawa Global 2000, Centenary Bank and other NGOs and Private sector. The general objective of the retreat was to engage stakeholders in agreeing on what the curriculum of the School should look like in order to produce graduates with the required profile.

Smaller committee of School academic staff were formed and held retreats to synthesise the input from the Stakeholders‘ retreat, realign the programmes and course units in a way that addresses the desired profiles of the graduates and produce a draft revised curriculum.

Draft revised curriculum were produced and codes assigned to the various course units and Reviewing/developing the content of the course units, mode of delivery, and structuring the curriculum to the standards of National Council for Higher Education. The College Academic Board received the School reports for further input before submission to Senate.

2.3: Proposed Programmes in the School of Agricultural Sciences

The curriculum review process identified new Programmes that need to be developed in order to address the current national and global issues in the agricultural sector. The proposed Programmes are listed below.

Proposed Programme in the School of Agricultural Sciences Duration

BSc. Water and Irrigation Engineering 3 Years

BSc. Bioprocessing Engineering 3 Years

BSc. Animal Science and Husbandry 3 Years

BSc. Agricultural Economics 3 Years

Bachelor of Rural Economy and Cooperative Management 3 Years

MSc. Integrated Animal Production Systems 2 Years

MSc. Horticulture 2 Years

MSc. Natural Resource Economics 2 Years

2.4. Proposed new courses in the Department of Environmental Management

The demand for knowledge in environment management by the public and private sectors are increasing steadily. These demands are mostly from professionals in various disciplines that are employed by government, non-governmental Organization (NGOs) and the private sector including consultancy firms. In response DEM has drafted new teaching programmes that are awaiting approval by the university. These proposed new programmes are:

1. MSC in Fragile Ecosystem management and Development (FEMD) 2. Certificate course in Environment and Social Impact Assessment

The DEM has also reviewed all teaching programmes at the department to respond to the stakeholder demands. The reviewed programmes will be implemented after approval by the NCHE. The department is currently with help of funds and consultants from the EU, drafting courses in Climate Change and adaptation that will be mainstreamed into our existing MSc teaching programme.

2.5: Proposal to Change Name of Department

Based on the review of course units and related programmes, it was noted that the name of one of the Departments; Department of Agribusiness and natural Resource Economics, does not well reflect and describe the current and the proposed mandate. A new name has therefore been discussed and agreed upon as Department of Agribusiness, Agricultural and Applied Economics.

9

2.6: Results of Semester 1

All semester I results were handed in on time and CAES has been commended as one of the colleges giving in results in time due to the efforts of the instructors coordinators and registrars. No major issues were recorded during the examinations.

2.7: Semester II 2014-2015 Examinations.

Semester II 2014-2015 Examinations started on 5th May 2015 and ended on 30th May 2015. 2038 students registered for Semester II examinations. The examinations were generally well conducted. This was the first time the permit system was done at the college level unlike the previously done at Senate. This provided easy access to students to reprint permits alleged to have been lost. However, the college recorded one case of permit forgery. The accused student is to be summoned by the School‘s Academic Irregularities Committee for interrogation.

2.8: Recess Term

The recess term officially opened on 1st June 2015 for those students who went to Kabanyolo. Other students who go for internship in other public and private companies were dispatched off on 8th June, 2015 including those from the School of Forestry, Environmental and Geographical Sciences who left for Nyabyeya Forest College and Budongo Conservation Forest.

2.9: Students’ population in CAES 2014/2015

The College has a large and diverse student population totaling 2497 students. Of these 60% are male and 40% female.

2.12. Students’ Entrepreneurship Club under the project SEE launched

The Makerere University Students‘ Entrepreneurship Club was on 7th March, 2015 launched at the School of Agricultural Sciences. The club is an initiative under the project, ―Solve the Equation East Africa (SEE). SEE is a collaborative project within the member universities in East Africa trying to change the mindset of University graduates from thinking about job seeking to job creation by imparting

several skills including entrepreneurship. Basing on the success projects in Rwanda, SEE philosophy of change is to conduct training for innovation entrepreneurship, supporting business skills, pilot innovative ideas, commercialise successive piloted ideas and follow up teams in the field.

The Dean, Prof. Johnny Mugisha launching the club and project The launch of the Makerere University Students‘ Entrepreneurship Club and SEE project activities was spearheaded by the Project Coordinator for East Africa Mr. Paul Serumaga who is also a lecturer at the University of Rwanda. Mr. Serumaga is also a college Alumni who graduated with a BSc. Food Science and Technology in 2001. He is being assisted by Makerere University SEE project coordinators Prof. Felix Bareeba and Dr. Peter Walekhwa. The function was presided over by the Dean, School of Agricultural Sciences, Prof. Johnny Mugisha.

The project is being implemented in four countries of Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda with plans to extend to Ethiopia, South Sudan and Burundi. The participating universities in the four East African countries are the University of Rwanda, University of Nairobi, Muhimbiri University and Makerere University.

The major project funder is Master Card in the United States. The preliminary stage of the project (2014-2016) has a budget of $ 350, 000 and $ 21,000,000 for the next eight years for follow up activities. The project structure involves a training component, curriculum development and linkages with banks to give start up loans to students. Other activities include mentoring activities which are paid for by the project for all students who would have started a business and outreach programs to different people within their localities who would have already started businesses.

Under this project, CAES Students are to be trained and supported to commercialise ideas and linked to banks to get loans. The students‘ Club acquired computers and TV screens to show successful entrepreneurs. An incubation centre will be set up at Makerere and a stall at Wandegeya market for students.

2.13. College interest to apply for a African Centre of Excellence (ACE)

The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is desirous to submit a proposal for the African Centre of Excellence .A series of meetings have been held to discuss the College application for a Centre of Excellence. An interim Steering Committee has been constituted comprising Prof. Rubaihayo (Chair), Prof. Bashaasha, Prof. Muyonga, Prof. Mugisha, Prof. Tweheyo, Prof. Kyamanywa, Assoc. Prof. Margaret Mangheni, Assoc. Prof. Paul Kibwika and Assoc. Prof. David Tumusiime. The committee held its maiden meeting on January 28th 2015.

14

The meeting identified 5 areas of focus as follows (1) Climate Smart Agriculture and Risk Management, (2)Biotechnology and seed System, (3)Agribusiness and value Chain Development, (4) Experiential Learning and learning methods and (5)Statistics and ICT. ACE is an initiative of World Bank and Uganda Government. The Program is intended to meet Uganda‘s growing skills challenges and promote required specialization. Uganda has already accessed $ 27m for Nutrition from World Bank. Each successful proposed project will receive US$ 6 – 8 million. This money is a loan from the World Bank to Uganda and is available. The motivation is to boast human capital and the demand for specialized skills and knowledge critical for African development (In this case Eastern and Southern Africa).

The move is geared towards addressing a number of challenges including skill shortages required to address development challenges and poverty reduction; Limited science and technology capacity, limited applied research to increase technology absorption, raise total factor productivity and generate new competitive sectors and; the current pattern of skills production which does not match labour market demand or development needs

3.0. INNOVATIONS IN TEACHING

3.1. DEM Main Lecture theatre and PhD Computer room acquire electronic white boards

The main lecture theatre and the PhD computer room at Department of Environmental Management (DEM) have electronic boards with projectors for teaching. These are the Smart Interactive White Boards and LCD projector that provide innovative and resourceful mode of teaching and learning. Because of the availability of desktop computers for students use, instructors provide websites relevant to the taught course for the students to source additional information of specific subject matters. The whole DEM building is connected to a Local Area Network with connection points. In addition, the DEM building has two wireless hotspots. The electronic equipment and network system are now old and require refurbishment. The GIS/RS laboratory at DEM now requires new facilities.

For teaching and research the department has a modern Molecular Genetics laboratory, water and wetlands laboratory, a well-stocked Library and is linked Makerere University Biological Field Station Kibale capable of handling 200 research students and staff. DEM is housing the National Biodiversity Data Bank (which is under the Principal‘s Office) that is the repository and sources of national biological data. The NBDB is currently undergoing restructuring to serve the whole East African region.

There are specially designed field visits to selected Institutions so that students are conducted to a teaching tour and observe first-hand the practical part of the taught courses. These targeted tours are reinforced by student‘s attachment to environmental institutions (Environmental Departments) in the districts on internship where they participate in the day to day work of the departments under supervision by the districts officers (usually DEOs and DHOs). The internship is assessed and contributes to the overall marks for the BEV programme.

The main research areas at the DEM are: Water resources, waste management and sanitation, wetlands, ecology, environmental chemistry, enthnobotany, wildlife genetics and conservation biology, ecosystems management and conservation.

3.2. New course in Quantitative Genetics and Advanced Statistical Plant Breeding

conducted

4.0 RESEARCH INNOVATIONS

4.0. A three wheeled multipurpose farmers’ tractor- MV MULIMI invented.

MV MULIMI project is a multi-puporse low cost mechanized solutions for small scale farmers in Uganda

4.1. Summary of the Innovation

The Department of Agricultural and Bio systems engineering (ABE) invented a three wheeled Farmers Multipurpose tractor code named the ‗MV Mulimi‖. The project was funded by the Presidential Initiative Project at a total cost of UGX 25 million. The MV Mulimi development team is made of Prof. Noble Banadda as the PI and co-PIs, namely, Dr. Nicholas Kiggundu and Dr. Ahamada Zziwa. The principal Technician is Mr. Ernest Tibaku-Zira assisted by Samuel Mutesasira and Denis Nsubuga who are Agricultural Engineers from Makerere University.

The building of the tractor started on 1st September, 2015 at departments‘ engineering workshop at the Makerere University Agricultural Research Institute Kabanyolo (MUARIK) using locally available materials. The final product was delivered in a period of two and a half months. The tractor uses diesel fuel less than a half litre per day.

MV Mulimi has been tested for and capable of performing five (5) tasks, namely; threshing maize to reduce postharvest losses; pumping water for irrigation; charging phones to keep farmers informed of Agricultural produce markets; hauling agricultural produce up to 1 ton and ploughing fields. The tractor can also transport up to 1.5 tonnes of agricultural produce from the farm to home or market. In terms of persons, the MV Mulimi can carry up to 18 people.

4.2. Background to the MV Mulimi project

In the summer of 2013, The Food Technology Business Incubation Centre of the School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bio-Engineering at Makerere University sponsored Prof. Noble Banadda to three USA universities, namely, Purdue University, University of Georgia and Iowa State University to explore collaboration opportunities. It was during this trip that the idea of collaborating with the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Purdue University to design and build a low cost multiple purpose vehicle suitable for African conditions was conceived. This noble idea was finally realized in August, 2015 when the fabrication process began at the Agricultural Engineering Workshop at MUARIK under the sponsorship of the Presidential Initiative Project.

26

4.3. Motivation for developing MV Mulimi

There is probably no other economic activity where sub-Saharan Africa has been by-passed by technological development, than in farm field operations - particularly the growing of crops. Just as it has been a matter of human sweat and drudgery for centuries, so it remains today for the majority. Many people in the rural Uganda use

mobile telephone, travel by bus, own at least a radio, and most own television including satellite television, solar panels and yet most do not own, have access to, or use even oxen or mules for farm field and postharvest handling operations. For example, over 90% of the transportation of agricultural produce from field to home, over 90% of farmers use hoes and/or local markets is done on the heads of women and children. Threshing of maize using sticks is still largely practiced; cultivation using hoes is for the vast majority of Uganda farmers. Phone charging is at a cost in rural settings. Irrigation of land is still a challenge despite the vast water resources in the country.

More often than not, post-harvest losses are therefore high when transportation turns to be a limiting factor for the farmer. A critical analysis seems to indicate that farmers use a large part of their earnings

to pay for the transportation of their crop and/or hire other service providers to cater for their other competing needs like agro-processing, water extraction and power generation at the farm. This in turn makes farming and on farm value addition an expensive venture that later translates into a turn off for the vast majority of farmers especially the youth who lack the financial muscle to bear these challenges.

Although mechanizing agriculture by importing tractors has been working in the short-term and on large farm operations, this method is neither sustainable nor viable for vast majority of Ugandan small-holder farmers. With no in-country parts distributers, it takes just one broken part as small as a nut to put the whole machine out of service. Even if the owner or operator can order a part, the time delay makes the machine useless for field and processing operations that season. Additionally, there is likely to be little or no local expertise on maintaining and repairing foreign-made agricultural equipment. This is true for transportation vehicles, as well. A motor vehicle is expensive to import and the supply of parts is limited, although this is improving with some manufacturers. If importing machines, equipment, or vehicles is to be successful, it must be coupled with technical and supply infrastructure to support it.

27

Although Uganda imports tractors, developing local capacity to manufacture tailor made tractors for Uganda and by Ugandans is a welcome development to stimulate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) as has been prioritized by government of Uganda. This will motivate young

Scientists and Engineers to think and work for this country. Uganda could potentially export such tractors in the region that could form the basis of a vehicle manufacture in this country; this creates jobs and value chains of supplies.

In countries where local manufacturing has been demonstrated, it has many advantages. First, the cost to the customer for the equipment or vehicle decreases greatly, as shipping costs and import duties are removed. Another advantage is the development of the products is within close proximity to the customers of the products. This helps in making tools and machines that are suitable for the work required of them. Designs can be made that accommodate the local agricultural practices, climate, and specific demands. The close proximity allows for better feedback for better products and support. Local manufacture has the advantage of being able to respond directly and rapidly to the demands of the agricultural sector. Another advantage of locally manufacturing equipment is that it boosts the economy.

4.4. Multiple Purpose Vehicle Mulimi Design The three-wheel vehicle has been built completely out of parts and materials available in Uganda. Most of the main driveline and suspension parts are recycled from old cars. The MV Mulimi is designed with flexibility as to the type of cars and light trucks from which the parts are taken. For example, the frame is designed with a large central power train ―tunnel‖ that can fit a wide variety of transmissions and engines. The overall length, width, and height of the vehicle are respectively 3.7 m, 1.5 m, and 1.8 m. The bed is 1 m wide and almost 2 m deep, giving a total cargo area of 1.9 m2. The wheelbase is about 2.5 m. Because of the flexibility of the design some of these dimensions can vary from vehicle to vehicle. The bed, seats, and floor board, can be made of a variety of wood boards. MV Mulimi is designed to use a small diesel with an Engine of 13 HP. Each unit costs UGX 25 million.

7.0: OUTREACH ACTIVITIES

7.1. NILA Birth Cohort project holds 1st Research Dissemination workshops in Nebbi,

Zombo and Kamwenge districts.

In October 2014 Makerere University in collaboration with Tufts University and the Harvard School of Public Health embarked on the USAID- ―Feed the Future‖ funded project titled, ―Effectiveness of integrated agriculture, health livelihood nutrition interventions to improve maternal and child health nutrition in rural Uganda”. This is a three year study running from 2014 to 2017.

The aim of the study is to understand the effect of integrated interventions on the health and nutritional status of mothers and children under two years of age. The integrated interventions under assessment are nutrition-specific abbreviated as WASH that is Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. Other interventions being evaluated are in agriculture and gender.

The study team from Makerere University include Prof. Bernard Bashaasha who is the Principal Investigator (PI) Prof. Joyce Kikafunda as the Co- PI, Dr Florence Turyashemererwa the Country Project Coordinator and Ms. Annet Kawuma as the Research Specialist. The study team from Tufts University include Dr.Nassul Kabunga a Post doc fellow, Prof. Jeffry Griffiths, Director, Dr. Shibani Ghosh, Assoc. Director and Edgar Agaba a researcher Tufts University. The team from Harvard School of Public Health include Dr. Christopher Duggan Co-PI, Dr. Wafaie Fawzii Co- Investigator and Dr.Nilupa Gunaratna Co- investigator.

The study is the first of its kind in Uganda being conducted in 12 districts in North and South Western Uganda in 16 sub counties. In South Western Uganda, the study is being conducted in Kabale, Kanungu, Kamwenge, Kabarole, and Rukungiri. In Northern Uganda the study is being done in Nebbi, Zombo, Pader, Lamwo, Lira, Kole and Apac.

The study area involves the Community Connecter (CC) intervening districts .The study also selected other districts without CC interventions for comparison purposes. A Community Connector is a USAID ―Feed the Future‖ funded project that has been operating for five years in some districts in Uganda promoting messages and activities on water, sanitation, hygiene, agriculture and gender. NILA comes in through research to assess whether theses interventions are effective.

The study is called Nutrition Innovation Laboratory Africa (NILA) – a Birth Cohort study because it utilises a cohort of mothers and young children followed from pregnancy through the first two years of life. The project is also being undertaken in a number of African countries including Uganda, Malawi and Egypt.

In Uganda, the target of the study is to enrol 5152 pregnant women and children country wide. 322 pregnant mothers in each of the 16 sub counties will be enrolled and followed up over a three –year

62

period. Pregnant women aged 15- 49 years in their second and third trimester, living in the study area until study period will be over and those who consented to participate in the study.

A total of 9 visits will be made during the study period of three years starting with pregnant women at three months, followed after every three months to delivery until the baby is two years old.

Information collected at the household level includes demographic and social economic information, agriculture, foods security, gender roles and dynamics. Researchers also collected information from the caregivers and children aged 0 – 23 months on diet, health, and nutritional status and blood samples. The study also looked at social participation, access to information and program exposure.

As of October, 2015 a total of five visits had been made and the data for the 1st visit completed. The research team organised research dissemination workshops on 13th, 14th and 22nd October 2015 in Nebbi, Zombo and Kamwenge districts respectively. The meetings were held at the Local Government District headquarters and attended by district leadership, village health teams, Civil Society organisation and participants in the study.

The purpose of the dissemination meetings was to update local leaders on research findings to help them in their planning and to get their input into the study.

Key study findings include:

Poor toilet coverage, sanitation and hygiene practices. Majority of the households use un improved pit latrines, bushes or share community pits

Lack of access to running water; over 80 % of the households drink contaminated water. Very few boil drinking water

Poor Dietary Diversity Score. Majority mainly consume root tubers and legumes Severe cases of anaemia prevalent in pregnant women aged 20-29. This age group hardly

seek Antenatal Care Services Farmers lack adequate access to nutritional and agricultural information. Radio is the major

source of information. Majority live in grass or leaf thatched houses, have no access to grid electricity and use wood

as the common cooking fuel.

7.4. FANRPAN holds a National Policy Dialogue on Domestic Climate Financing in Uganda

A National Policy dialogue on domestic climate financing in Uganda was on 7th August 2015 convened at Makerere University‘s School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bio engineering under the project, ―The Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network‖ abbreviated as FANRPAN. The dialogue was attended by representatives from government, farmer organisations, private sector, NGOs, Research institutions including universities and civil society of about 50 people in total.

Currently, domestic climate financing in developing countries like those in Africa is characterised by a number of challenges. These include inconsistent definitions and criteria to define climate finance, inconsistence markers, indicators and codes to characterise different types of financial data and insufficient institutional arrangements including unclear roles and responsibilities of different ministries. Within its Climate Change portfolio, FANRPAN is implementing the COMESA-EAC-SADC Project. The project aims to contribute to the consolidated and unified African position on climate change through creation of awareness among decision makers.

64

Participants pose for a group photo after the 1st session of the workshop Consistent with the COMESA-EAC-SADC objective, the overall goal of the project is to ensure that the impacts of climate change in the COMESA-EAC-SADC region are addressed through successful adaptation and mitigation actions which will also build economic and social resilience for the present and future generations. FANRPAN Uganda Node Coordinator Prof. Archileo Kaaya said the objectives of the National policy dialogue were to increase understanding of the climate change challenges for agriculture in Sub- Saharan Africa at national levels, discuss mechanisms for mainstreaming climate change knowledge into domestic agricultural research; and three to discuss mechanisms for sustainable domestic financing of Climate Smart Agriculture. On behalf of the Dean, School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bio engineering Prof. Archileo Kaaya told participants that the Uganda FANRPAN Node was established during the FANRPAN 2011 Annual Food Security Regional Policy Dialogue in Swaziland and was launched in Uganda on 24th May 2012 and hosted by Makerere University College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) whose mission is to advance training, knowledge generation and service delivery in order to enhance agricultural development, sustainable natural resource utilisation and environmental management.

7.7. Climate Champions trained under the FEED THE FUTURE Project component of

USAID –Uganda -ERICCA

About 40 participants from different districts across Uganda code named Climate Champions on 8th and 9th July, 2015 underwent training on climate change. The training brought together people from the private sector, medical personnel, local government, model farmers, district environmental officers and media practitioners among others.

The training was officially opened by the Director, Economic Growth, USAID Jo – Lesser Oltheten. She said the US government has injected over 300 million US Dollars for climate change related activities in Africa this year, Uganda inclusive. She expressed the US Government commitment to supporting climate change activities towards mitigating climate change impacts and enhancing adaptation. The training was conducted at Entebbe Botanical Beach Hotel as part of the USAID FEED THE FUTURE project specifically the USAID - Uganda Education and Research to Improve Climate Change Adaptation Activity (ERICCA). ERICCA is implemented by FHI30. The main goal is to assist Ugandans to build a hub of academic, professional development and research excellence in climate science, climate adaptation and related disciplines in partnership with Makerere University College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) through the establishment and support of the Makerere University Centre for Climate Change Research and Innovations (MUCCRI).

The four year project that started in 2014 has a total budget of 400 million US Dollars. The project has been operating for the last one and a half years. According to the Chief of Party USAID Uganda Education and Research to Improve Climate Change Adaptation Activity working with the MUCCRI Dr. Lynne Carter, there is still poor understanding of climate change and variability in Uganda and hence inadequate adaptation and mitigation measures currently in place in the country .

67

Climate change is an issue everywhere and will continue to impact Uganda hence the need for people to know the climate change causes, changes, how to adapt and mitigate. That was the reason of initiating the Climate Champions by recruiting persons from districts. The training of climate champions will leave a legacy of increased ability in the country to understand the choices and options to avoid the avoidable climate changes as well as be better prepared to cope with the impacts.

The money is channelled through Makerere University (Uganda) as the lead university in collaboration with other three universities of Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), University of Juba (Southern Sudan) and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (Norway). According to the Principal Investigator Makerere University Prof. Samuel Kyamanywa, the project aim is to strengthen the capacity of universities to address issues to do with climate change, environment and natural resource management. The training is being conducted at Masters and PhD level. At masters level a total 12 students will be enrolled, and 5 of them have been recruited and 7 remaining. 5 PhDs will be from Southern Sudan, 3 from Uganda and 2 from Addis Ababa‖ he said. The main focus of the project is to build capacity for Southern Sudan through training people who can have the capacity to handle issues of climate change and natural resource management. Southern Sudan is the youngest country in Africa that has been devastated by conflicts. The other aspect is to prepare farmers through predicting to them the changing weather patterns and designing cropping systems that are resilient to climate change. The project is also supposed to conduct short term trainings on environmental impact assessment and social environmental safeguards for all and adjust the curriculum to incorporate climate sciences.

8.0: FINANCIAL RELEASES AND ALLOCATIONS

8. I: Funds received from the centre

The university resource envelope continues to shrink. Operational funds have dropped significantly. CAES had been allocated 750 million shillings this academic year 2014-2015 as operational funds. Information on student numbers was received from HODs and based on the fees structure we computed the expected revenue under normal conditions. We used the expected revenue to set proportions to arrive at funds received per program based on releases as they come in.

9.2.1. MAK Best Performance AWARD

The Department of Agribusiness and Natural Resource Economics, School of Agricultural Sciences participates in a Regional Collaborative Masters Program (MSc. Agricultural and Applied Economics). There are 16 Universities in Eastern and Southern Africa participating in this Program with funding from African Economic Research Consortium (AERC). The Program has one curriculum across the Universities and is jointly reviewed every three years. It has 3 Semesters of coursework; the first 2 at mother Universities and the third Semester at University of Pretoria where all the students meet for specialised course units. CAES student, Ms. Asha Nalunga is the overall best student in the coursework in her cohort (last academic year). She travelled to South Africa, University of
