1.0 Background
1.1 The national development context Eradication of poverty is a key objective of the Government of Sweden support to research capacity strengthening in Uganda. Since 1997, Uganda had pursued poverty eradication through implementation of the ‘Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP), a national policy development framework that was subsequently supported by a medium–term planning tool, which expired in June 2008. The successor guiding policy framework, the National Development Plan (NDP) focuses on the theme ‘growth, employment and prosperity for all’. The plan recognises the importance of increasing income to poor households, which is a key driver for eradicating income poverty. Uganda has yet to develop a critical mass of well-trained human resource able to generate and translate knowledge for societal benefit. This capacity is crucial in order to competitively articulate, negotiate, plan, implement and evaluate the country’s development strategies geared to poverty alleviation. The University is aware that poverty is still the biggest constraint to national development (Makerere Research and Innovations Policy, 2008). Over 24.5% of Ugandans still live in absolute poverty, despite the numerous programs in place to address the problem (GoU, 2012). The University has, therefore, positioned itself to address emerging challenges through its core competences in training, research and innovation, and as such the need for continued Sida support. Phase IV of Sida support will adopt more innovative approaches to poverty reduction by focusing more keenly on the linkages between research (as provided in the University research agenda) and the national development frameworks such as the Prosperity for All, National Development Plan (2010), and the Vision 2040. Makerere University is committed to continue contributing to poverty reduction in Uganda through human resource training and applied research (Makerere Strategic Plan 2008/9-18/19). Makerere University has made commendable gains with previous funding streams to develop structures, infrastructure and highly trained human capacity towards realising a community of scholars. Therefore, the University will deploy the Sida IV funding to consolidate those gains and to break new ground. In order to address problems holistically, researchers and graduate students will work more closely through multi-disciplinary research teams constituted around particular development issues/themes. Teams will comprise not only Makerere staff, but also participants from partner universities, local and international institutions.
1.2 Framework for Research and Higher Education in Uganda The research system in Uganda includes institutions mandated to: formulate policies, coordinate research, regulate, and /or implement policies as well as those that carry out research and training. These include: Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNSCT), National Agriculture Research Organization (NARO), Uganda National Health Research Organization (UNHRO), Universities, Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI). They are also mandated to plan and manage research activities as well as the dissemination of research results. The AU/NEPAD recognizes the importance of research in national development and is committed to strengthening and enhancing research training and development of higher education. Funding for
2
research, however, is still low in Uganda currently standing at 0.4 percent of GDP up from 0.25% in 2002/3. This level of research funding is still far below 1% as agreed by African Governments. The most appropriate mode of delivering support for research and building research capacity would be through competitive grants funding schemes e.g. the Millennium Science Initiative (Background study, 2008). Makerere University has made progress in putting together a peer review group based on the model of International Foundation for Science (IFS), with funding from NORAD and Carnegie corporation of New York, and is now in a better position to handle competitive grants. In 2011, the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST) conducted the international statistical survey on the Careers of Doctorate Holders for the first time. The survey showed that the number of PhDs in Uganda is still very low. Uganda has approximately 1000 PhD holders out of a population of 34 million. Even though recent figures show an increase in the number of PhD graduates per annum (73 in 2011), this fades in comparison with other countries. Higher education sub sector in Uganda has been de-regulated leading to an increase in the number of private sector providers. By 2007, the number of universities was 27 of which 5 are public universities. Enrolment in tertiary institutions has been on the increase with a modest enrolment in science and technology1. There has been a moderate increment of academic staff in tertiary institutions and by 2006 the total number of academic staff in higher education institutions was 6,465 of which 771 were PhD holders (11.5 percent)2. At Makerere University, out of 1301 academic staff, 50 percent (700) have PhDs while 40 percent (550) have Masters Degrees. This indicates a large pool of academic staff that still needs training at Ph.D and Masters levels. This demand for training is higher in other public universities, a justification for capacity building of human resource for upcoming public and private universities. Beyond the quantity of skilled employees needed on the labour market, the absorptive capacity of Uganda’s labour market has been inelastic resulting into high graduate unemployment. Uganda’s unemployment rate was 4.2 percent in 2009/10 amidst a rapidly expanding tertiary education sector. Moreover, the status of doctorate holders and the patterns of their employment have remained unknown because of the absence of empirical studies undertaken on this highly trained group.
1.3 Makerere institutional profile and strategic direction Makerere University was established in 1922 as a technical college. In 1949, it became a University College affiliated to the University College of London, offering courses leading to general degrees of the University of London. This affiliation lasted until 1963 when it became one of the three constituent colleges of the University of East Africa. Makerere became an independent University in 1970 by Act of Parliament. Makerere University has a student population of 35,000 undergraduates and 5,500 postgraduates (both Ugandan and international). The University is an active centre for research, and transitioned from the faculty-based to the collegiate system in December 2010.
1 Tertiary enrollment between 2005 to 2006 grew by 9.4% i.e. from 124,313 to 137,190 in 2006 with science and technology recording in creasing by 5% from 28,852 in 2005 to 37,739 in 2006; 2 The State of Higher Education Report, 2007

Vision: The University vision is to be the leading institution for academic excellence and innovations in Africa Mission: This vision will be achieved through providing innovative teaching, learning, research and services responsive to National and Global needs. Makerere University Strategy 2008/09-2018/19 was formulated to reposition her to address emerging development challenges arising from globalisation, evolving national socio-economic developments, information and communication technology, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and overarching national government policies such as Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP), the draft National Development Plan (NDP), Strategic Plan for Higher Education 2004-2015, decentralization and affirmative action. Over the next 10 years, the University has re-defined her overarching enterprise strategy to be the leading institution for academic excellence and innovations in Africa. This will be achieved through providing innovative teaching, learning, research and services responsive to National and Global needs. Makerere University will pursue her business guided by values that place premium on allegiance to the institution, integrity, customer responsiveness, professionalism and openness to diversity. Strategically, the University is to be steered in the direction of a learner-centered problem-based instruction, a research driven university where research and teaching/learning are mutually re-enforcing, and knowledge transfer partnerships and networking between the University on one hand, the public and private sectors on the other. In order to focus research efforts, the University identified priority thematic areas for investment in the next ten years following recommendations arising out of various consultations and based on University strategic plan, Research and Innovations Policy, National Science, Innovations and Technology Policy, findings of the Background study on Science and Technology, National Plan of Action. The research themes are premised on the need to enhance Uganda’s HEIs’ capacity to contribute to national development, to Uganda’s meeting the regional and international commitments including the Millennium Development Goals, to enhance local, regional and international collaboration and networking and to improve the capacity of young researchers through a mentoring process. The University research agenda areas of focus include: Health and Health Systems; Agricultural (crop & Livestock) transformation, Food Security and Livelihoods; Natural Resources Governance and Climate Change; Education and Education Systems; Governance, Culture, Social Justice and Sustainable development; Science and Technology. The cross-cutting areas include Biotechnology, Knowledge Translation, Gender and Human Resource Development. With the research orientation, academic staffs are required to devote at least 20% of staff time to research (Makerere Research and Innovations Policy, 2008). The focus on research has seen Makerere University’s Research Ranking improve from 12th in 2011 (and 1563 in the world) to 9th in Africa in 2012 (and 1552 in the world) according to the Scimago Institutions Ranking (SIR) World Report 2012.

2.0 Previous experience and results Makerere University recognizes research as a pillar of both institutional and national development. Emphasis on research is also based on the realization that capacity for knowledge production, innovation and effective utilization are now recognized as key sources for growth and competitiveness in the globalized economy. Creating the environment and capacity for knowledge generation, innovations and utilization are drivers in repositioning Makerere University as a research led-University (Makerere Strategic Plan 2008/09-2018/19). Several partners have contributed to research development in Makerere University these among others include, the Government of Sweden (Sida), the Government of Norway (NORAD & NUFU), the Carnegie Cooperation of New York, Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Bank- Millennium Science Initiative. The Government of Sweden support for research at Makerere University has been through the Collaborative programme for Research which has been in operation since 2000. The bilateral research programme has invested heavily in training Makerere University staff to PhD level, in addition to the improvement of research environment. A number of academic units in the University were supported: namely, Faculties of Agriculture, Technology, Medicine, Social Sciences, School of Public Health, Department of Mass Communication, School of Graduate studies (SGS), Gender Mainstreaming, Directorate of Information and Communication Technology and the Library. The support took the following forms: PhD and Masters training (tuition and research costs), support to supervisors to link with their counterparts in Sweden, conference attendance by PhD students and supervisors, faculty research funds, Independent university wide research fund managed by the SGS, establishment of Demographic surveillance site (DSS) in Iganga and Mayuge districts, Geographical Information System (GIS) lab, Support to Cross Cutting Biomedical Laboratory, ICT Infrastructure development and Library resources and Services. Remarkable achievements have been in the areas of ICT and Library and laboratory infrastructure, equipment, publications, hosting dissemination conferences, attendance at international conferences and building capacity in research administration. The implementation of the Sida bilateral program has also encountered some challenges these include:
a) Limited linkages with existing Sida supported initiatives in other institutions such as the public universities, research laboratories, research networks, and research programmes (e.g. BeCA programme in ILRI, Kenya, Bio-innovate in the Inter-University Council for East Africa) in the region;
b) Inadequate capacity in some areas to supervise and mentor PhD and postdoctoral students, including research undertaking;
c) Limited capacity in other public universities: At Kyambogo and Gulu Universities, approximately 60% and 90% of the filled positions of academic staff, respectively, are in need of training at PhD and Masters’ level3. By the end of August 2012, Makerere University had 56% (i.e. 700 members) of academic staff in post below 40 years of age implying that the majority of academic staff belong to the next generation of academics.
d) Limited retention capacity threatening turnover of senior staff: Much of the expertise of African Universities, and Makerere is no exception, requires additional motivation to remain within the University. This is further compounded by an ever increasing number of
3 This is explained by the proportion of the establishment that is currently filled. Some of the lecturer positions, however, are filled with contract staff
5
universities – both public and private that largely source for academics from within the country. The failure to attract skilled academics or retention of the young ones has been, among many other reasons, due to: lack of policies specifically targeting the nurturing and retention of academic staff; recruitment and promotion policies that need improvement; an aging professoriate; inadequate job satisfaction due to monetary and nonmonetary incentives, among others.
e) Insufficient funds to support the increasing demand for research funds, and maintain the research facilities and laboratories established with Sida support e.g. Laboratories, computers, vehicles, research sites and equipment.
3.0 Relevant policies There are national and institutional policies that provide the framework for the implementation of the proposed programme for national good and development amongst others, including the following;
3.1 The Intellectual Property Management Policy (IPM) The IPM policy of Makerere University is in tandem with the National plans and the University Strategic Plan (2008/9 to 2018/19), where research and innovations form one main strategic pillar in repositioning Makerere as Research-led institution. The IPM policy supports innovations, while promoting economic activities arising from the products of research and innovations, and knowledge transfers as a transformative tool.
3.2 Quality Assurance Policy A quality assurance directorate is in place to ensure that quality is mainstreamed in all university activities and programs. An overarching quality assurance policy is in existence. This program will, therefore, be subjected to quality assurance protocols/guidelines and best practices as prescribed by the policy4. According to this policy, the University shall promote Quality Assurance to ensure and assure academic global competitiveness, promotion of confidence in the academic and administrative services by setting standards and mechanisms for monitoring quality at all levels.
4.0 The Goal and Objectives of the proposed programme
4.1 Overall goal The overall goal of the programme is to increase the capacity of Makerere and Partner public Universities to generate knowledge and promote research uptake for national and regional development. This is line with the Makerere University’s strategic Plan 2008/09 – 2018/19 aimed at enhancing the transformation and utilization of knowledge, research and Innovation capacity of public higher education institutions to conduct and sustain strategic and quality research that will contribute to the development needs of Uganda and beyond.

This research training partnership proposal is for Sida IV support submitted by the School of Social
Sciences in collaboration with the School of Gender in Makerere University, and the Faculty of
Social Sciences and the School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg in
Sweden. The partnership is built on an already existing relationship between the institutions and will
strengthen the benefits already accrued there from. The aim of the proposal is to strengthen social
science research in the national development process through graduate training, research and
partnership building activities in the period 2015-20. This project will train 8 PhDs (6 local and 2
sandwich) out of eight PhD students, two will be from other PPUs, 12 Masters (6 Mak and 6 other
PPUs) and 5 postdoc research fellows (1 PPU). Beneficiaries will be drawn from the staff of three
Public Universities: Makerere, Kyambogo and Mbarara. The outcomes of the research training
partnership will include increased use of social science research outputs in national development and
teaching, stronger and larger teams of PhD holders able to supervise graduate training in the country,
and more capacity to attract research funding. The estimated budget is SEK 14,669,128.

317-2014 Project title: Building Research Capacity in Innovative Information and
Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) for Sustainable Socio-
economic Growth in Uganda
Currently there is wide penetration and adoption of ICT in Uganda in various sectors including
education and health. However, the shortage of skills in software engineering, digital innovation and
entrepreneurship is hindering the potential of sustainable ICTs for social and economic development.
This proposal aims to contribute towards sustainable socio-economic growth through capacity
building in Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) research and
management by developing core skills in IT management (with focus on digital innovation, enterprise
architecture, and entrepreneurship) and software engineering (focusing on practices and processes and
software quality). As application areas we will specifically target healthcare and education. The
project will train ten (10) staff members to the level of PhD (7 Sandwich and 3 local). The PhD
candidates will be academic staff from Makerere University and Mbarara University of Science and
Technology. The estimated budget is SEK 25,709,510.

334-2014 Project title: Building capacity for knowledge and information production and
sharing for socio- economic development in Uganda
To exploit Uganda’s exceptionally rich natural resources requires well developed information and
knowledge management support. Therefore, Uganda needs to develop human capacity in knowledge
production and sharing capable of contributing to poverty reduction and equitable and sustainable
socio-economic development through access to and use of relevant information. The proposed project
seeks to strengthen the research capacity in Library and information science (LIS) education to
support knowledge and information production and sharing for sustainable socio-economic
transformation and development in Uganda. This project will train 5 PhDs locally and will also
develop one PhD curriculum and review one PhD programme. The estimated Budget is SEK
11,882,480.

346-2014 Project Title: Innovations in the health system: interventions for improved
treatment of infectious diseases in children in rural Uganda.
Better diagnostics and algorithms for increased quality of care, rational use of medicines and
minimized antimicrobial resistance. Two intertwined elements are included in this proposal - research
and research capacity development, with the focus of rational use of medicines (RUM) and infectious
diseases (ID) in children to develop strategies and interventions targeting both for the community and
health providers in rural Uganda. The general aim is to enhance the capacity to conduct high quality
research with immediate policy relevance for health and development in and strengthening of
linkages between researchers and policy-makers and implementers in the Ugandan Ministry of
Health, at district and national level. In total 4 master students, 4 PhD students and 3 post docs will be
trained locally at Makerere and students (mainly for Masters) from partner public universities of
Mbarara, Gulu and Busitema will be enlisted. The partnership will contribute to increased knowledge
and capacity in the fields of child health focusing the areas that kill most children in Uganda. The
estimated budget is SEK 11,918,842.

in sustainable intensification of maize–based cropping systems for improving productivity, food
security and resilience to climate change in Uganda
The proposed project focuses on developing the Ugandan research capacity to unlock the potential of
sustainable intensification of maize cropping systems that increases productivity, natural resource use
efficiency and ecological resilience, and reduces environmental externalities. The project will form
the backbone to identifying pathways to improve farm-level food security and productivity through
the development of more resilient, profitable and sustainable maize-based cropping systems. This
project will provide PhD training to four (4) academic staff of Makerere University and four Msc
students. Two of the PhD training will be sandwich, with the student spending 3 – 4 months of each
year in Sweden. The estimated budget is SEK 8,700,860.

health and demographic surveillance site: maximizing the potential of the
research platform for capacity development and generation of valid population
data to inform policy formulation
This project will strengthen Makerere University’s Health and Demographic Surveillance Site
(HDSS) to become a stronger research support platform for community-based research, and for
research training for students and members of staff at Makerere University and other stakeholders. A
plan to transform the legal status and organizational structure of the HDSS is currently under review,
and final approval is expected by early 2015. The primary objectives over the coming funding phase
will be: 1) To strengthen the organizational and staffing structure, improving current procedures and
introducing operating procedures and guidelines; 2) To improve data quality generated by the site
through a transition from manual to digital field data capture, and improvement of the data
management procedure; 3) To diversify the sources of funding through the creation of a research
grants management capacity for diversification research grants sources and research activities; 4)
Improve knowledge translation from research evidence to policy. The estimated Budget is SEK
13,710,493.

Uganda
This project proposes to provide cross-cutting higher education and research information support to
all the academic programmes within and outside Makerere University, addressing the factors
affecting access to library and information resources, facilities and services. The primary objective of
the project is ‘to increase access to library and information services for higher education, research and
innovations in Uganda by 2020. The proposal focuses on five components, namely: (i) enrichment of
electronic information resources to support teaching, learning and research, (ii) strengthening library
ICTs for increased access, (iii) information and digital Literacy for life-long skills, (iv) capacity
building of librarians through graduate training and research, and (v) digitization for increased access
and preservation of research output. The project will train 4 PhD students locally including 1 from
PPUs and 2 Masters Students. This project will enable the supportive environment for enhanced
information access and management, training librarians to address the needs of library
users/researchers, improve service delivery and digitize research output for increased access and
visibility. The estimated budget is SEK 15,427,648.

376-2014 Project title: Strengthening quality assurance initiatives for relevance and
optimal productivity at Makerere University and partnering Public Universities
The graduate training process at Makerere University and other Public Universities in Uganda
is riddled with a number of constraints inhibiting the smooth production of required higher
degree graduates and other research outputs necessary for the Social Economic
Transformation of the country. This subprogram will minimize the hurdles along the research
and graduate training at Public Universities in Uganda. This will be done through sharpening
the transferable skills for students and supervisors, curriculum review and development of
tracking mechanisms to ensure compliance with set regulations. The estimated budget is SEK
9,770,252.

Project Title: Enhancement of research environment, coordination, leadership and
management for sustainability at Makerere University
The Directorate of Research and Graduate Training has coordinated the Makerere-Sida bilateral
research program since inception in 2000. This program has been by far the largest research support
in the history of the University. Significant progress has been achieved in a number of areas. During
the successor phase (2015-2020), the Sida support will be focused towards improving coordination
and management of the bilateral research program; enhancing the skills of PhD and postdoc students
for quality scholarship through cross-cutting courses, training in research management, leadership
and financial management, and mentorship; improving the graduate training and research processes;
improving dissemination and translation of research outputs; supporting the University reforms;
supporting PhD and post-doctoral training through a university-wide fund. Fifty (50) PhD and 100
Masters Students in partner public universities and 30 postdoctoral projects (5 for PPUs) will
continue be supported through competitive selection following an open call for
applications/proposals. Support is also sought towards developing synergies and collaborations across
Sida supported initiatives in the region. The estimated budget is SEK 40,000,000.
The Embassy of Sweden has added the sum of 1 189 426 SEK to this project in year 2020, which is
not ear-marked for any activity (see below budget). The sum occurred based on an over-all budget
round off of 573 426 to even out the over-all Program budget to 275mSEK, and 616 000 SEK due to
a budget shift in the ISP Swedish coordination budget. The use of the 1 189 426 shall be agreed upon
with the Embassy of Sweden, Kampala, as per regular budget routines.

382-2014 Project title: Upgrading and strengthening the University-wide GIS Centre
Geographic Information Science (GIScience) is an emerging interdisciplinary field that seeks
to understand the nature of geographic phenomena and information. It attempts to provide
theoretical foundations for modeling of space, time and process and for development of
geospatial technologies including geographic information systems (GIS). The GIS Centre at
Makerere University is increasingly becoming a hotspot for GIS teaching and research in
Uganda and the East African region.. The primary objective of this project is to develop the
existing GIS laboratory into a state of the art GIS laboratory that links to all the GIS units at
Makerere University through an efficient and effective sharing of spatial data, personnel, GIS
hardware and software. This link should extend GIS services to other colleges and
Government departments that are potential users of GIS/Remote Sensing, but are constrained
by inadequate personnel, spatial data, hardware and software to carry out geospatial
technological related trainings and research. The success of this program will provide:1) state
of the art GIS laboratory 2) critical mass for stimulating excellent research in GIScience, and
3) experience in the management of research networks. The estimated budget is SEK
5,130,946.

2391- Uganda Project Title: Enhancement of Gender Focused Research Capacity Building of Women in Leadership and Gender Mainstreaming in Higher Education in Uganda The research training programme will entail supporting 5 post-doctoral research fellowships, 7 PhD
fellowships and 24 Masters of Arts and Science fellowships, 35 competitive faculty grants, training
staff in research supervision, enhancing staff's scholarly writing skills in the gender discipline and
increasing staff’s capacity to publish. The primary objective of the research training programme is to
enhance staff’s capacity to conceptualise and execute gender focused research. The research training
will be conducted through local research training in Makerere University. One PhD fellowship will be
of sandwich model between Makerere and Gottenburg Universities, but the degree award will be of
Makerere University. The rules for research training will therefore be those of Makerere University.
The significance of the planned research training partnership lies in the partnership amongst the 5
public Universities in Uganda and Gottenburg University in Sweden in conducting training in gender
focused research in both the Social and the Physical Sciences. The estimated budget for this project is
SEK 10,000,000.

5.0 Expected Results of the programme 2015 - 2020 While implementing the Sida phase III program, it was noted that the discipline-oriented nature of University units and academic programmes do not necessarily provide an environment conducive for research and training in multidisciplinary framework. Based on the strengths and weaknesses experienced during the implementation of the previous Sida programme, the proposed programme is expected to lead to the following outputs and outcomes by 2020.
5.1 Key Outputs • 200 PhD graduates; 50 of whom are from partner public university (at least 30% will be
female) • 150 masters students supported; with 100 from partner public universities (at least 30% are
females) • 30 postdoctoral projects supported; with 5 from partner public universities (at least 30%
headed by females) • 200 Publications • At least five patents held by Makerere University • At least 20 Innovations and Technologies developed
5.2 Key Outcomes • Increased completion rate by doctoral students due to the enhanced capacity for supervisors to
supervise Masters and Doctoral students, strong mentorship programme and graduate seminar series programme coordinated by the DRGT and colleges, respectively
• Increased research capacity and productivity contributing to enhanced visibility of the University
• Evidence-based policy making (through engagement with government and other stakeholders) in the identified research themes.
• Increased capacity to conduct research in other public universities (Busitema, Kyambogo, Gulu and Mbarara University of Science & Technology). This outcome will be achieved through training staff in supervision, mentorship, research management, and grant proposal writing.
• Increased generation and uptake of new technologies • Developed Centers of research excellence in use and incubating available technologies e.g.
waste management, GIS Laboratory technology, Energy Conservation, Computing and Informatics; Biomedical Laboratory.
• Improved capacity for research coordination and programme administration in the University providing better services to the researchers and students.
• Improved research infrastructure through quality library and ICT resources, and laboratory equipment providing better services to the researchers and students
84
• Increased collaboration with other partners (research institutions, universities, private sector, development partners) nationally, regionally and internationally thereby sharing knowledge and raising research funds.
6. Feasibility, Sustainability, Environmental Impact, Risks, Ethics, and Gender issues
6.1 Feasibility concerns The University has the requisite human resource capacity to effectively and efficiently execute the proposed programme. The research and innovations policy of the University obligates staff to deploy 20% of their time to research. In order to free time for staff research activities including coordination at the units, tutorial assistants and visiting/adjunct professors will be engaged to offset the teaching load of the researchers. Staff who are PhD students on the programme will be granted study leave to enable them concentrate on their studies and research activities.
The Directorate of Research and Graduate Training has over time built capacity to coordinate research programmes in the University owing to the experience it has accumulated in coordinating and managing a number of different research projects and programmes supported by the different development partners. The existence of the requisite human resource capacity at the University along with the research infrastructural capacity and effective institutional mechanisms will not only ensure feasibility of the programme but also implementation of the programme in a timely manner. Furthermore, the University has, overtime, built research infrastructural capacity to the scale in terms of quantity and quality that is able to support the execution of the proposed research program. These infrastructure include library resources, cross cutting courses and research laboratories, and ICT facilities.
6.2 Sustainability and exit strategy The Sida-supported activities will be integrated into Makerere University fabric and will continue to be executed after the grant support has wound up. The sustainability of the activities is perceived and planned in three contexts namely academic, funding and administrative. Academic sustainability: The building of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research teams and mentoring of upcoming researchers will strengthen research capacity and culture at Makerere and other partner public universities. The positive research culture will be leveraged to enable the staff to continue engaging in research and publication. Furthermore, the improved skills in grantmanship will enable the University to mobilize more grants for research and other academic activities. In addition, the university is re-focusing its private sector and public engagement in defining research priorities to ensure sustainability and continuity of its programmes. The University is also operationalising the IPM policy to motivate researchers through commercializing and securing the benefits from their innovations. Financial and administrative sustainability: the University will continue to upgrade its capacity to mobilize resources and diversify funding sources. The University will endeavor to commit up to 3% of Internally Generated Funds to support the research function. In addition, the University has

undertaken financial and administrative reforms that will result in a system that facilitates quality research based on standard operating procedures.
6.3 Gender aspects Makerere University has taken leadership in Sub-Saharan Africa in creating and implementing good policies that ensure; equity and equality; good governance and women empowerment as the engine for social economic development. The University strategic plan has prioritized gender as a cross cutting issue. The Makerere Gender Policy (2010) provides a framework to guide the process of strategically and systematically mainstreaming or enshrining gender into the University wide functions, with a view of ensuring that there is gender equity and equality, women empowerment within Makerere. Gender equality and women’s empowerment are embedded in the Millennium Declaration and are imperative for achievement of 6 of the 8 MDGs. The activities in this programme will therefore be implemented in a gender sensitive manner, with a deliberate strategy to ensure equity between men and women. The policy incorporates procedural guidelines for implementation to ensure compliance by the University wide community.
6.4 Ethical aspects The research activities in this programme will adhere to established national and international standards of research ethics. They will be guided by the Makerere University Research and Innovations Policy (2008) and Intellectual Property Rights Management Policy (2008). Ethical conduct of research shall be upheld through the use of the existing Institutional Review Boards that oversee ethical conduct of research. The research activities will also abide with the provisions of the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology Act (1990).

6.6 Environmental Impact The activities will conform to national and international environmental standards and take into consideration laws and regulations governing environmental protection. For all the proposed activities under Sida IV an Environmental Impact (EI) shall be conducted. The design, content and scope of EIs shall be adapted to the needs in each of the proposed project. Thus, for every project proposed we will ensure that an appraisal that clearly indicates the project positive and negative contributions to environmentally sustainable development is conducted. In addition, an appraisal will be done to indicate how any possible negative impacts will be minimized.
7.0 Monitoring and Evaluation The programme will have in its scope monitoring and evaluation. The execution of monitoring will ensure that the programme is executed according to plan and will also play a trouble shooting role by identifying bottlenecks to its smooth implementation for early resolution. The University has sufficient institutional mechanisms that will ensure transparency in implementation of the program. There will be a program steering committee to oversee implementation of the program activities. The sub committee will ensure that the program activities roll out in time. A comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework will capture progress and evaluate outcomes of the different initiatives within the University and how when aggregated they contribute to national development. The proposed framework will adopt a multi-level performance assessment with indicators that track processes, outputs and outcomes. Initially, a clarificatory evaluation will be undertaken to develop a shared understanding of the goals and objectives between the implementing teams/units and the monitoring and evaluation team coordinated by DRGT. Later, the program will be subjected to periodic process evaluation to ensure that implementation rolls according to the agreed program cycle. In addition, the program will also undergo self-assessments by the implementing teams, units and beneficiaries. The program will also be subjected to external evaluation during the mid course and at the end of 5years to determine whether the program results envisaged at the conception stage were realized and document lessons learnt to inform implementation of the subsequent phase of Sida support. Monitoring will be implemented at various levels the Programme Steering Committee, Programme Implementation Committee, Programme Coordination office, Theme leaders, and by Team Leaders. The programme will be subjected to annual planning and reporting sessions to monitor progress and address any emerging challenges. The program Steering Committee will meet three times a year to critically evaluate the progress of the programme activities and advise on the way forward. Through a consultative process involving all partners and Sida, annual work plans and projected budgets for planned activities will be developed to guide the Program implementation. The DRGT will be responsible for submitting progress reports to Sida.
87
A mid-term evaluation for the program will be conducted after two and a half years and the university will ensure that the Result Based Management (RBM) framework for the program will be used for effective performance monitoring, evaluation and reporting.
