Makerere University Graduate students have participated in the training organized by the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) and University of Cape Coast (UCC) Ghana.

The training attracted Masters, PhD students and emerging scientists from RUFORUM, a network of 121 universities from 38 African countries. In addition, students from non-RUFORUM universities like Togo, Kenya and Nigeria on mobility scheme also took part in the training.

The five – day training which started on 29^th November – 3^rd December 2019, is part of the activities to mark the 15^th RUFORUM Annual General Meeting (2^nd -6^th December 2019) hosted by University of Cape Coast under the theme, “Delivering on Africa’s Universities Agenda for Agricultural Higher Education Science Technology and Innovation (AHESTI): What will it be?

Makerere University dons were invited by RUFORUM among the key resource persons to deliver lectures on proposal development, scientific writing and presentation as well as Scientific Data Management and publication.

“The importance of the Scientific Data Management Course is to facilitate students to be able to handle their data especially those at the stage of data analysis so that they can learn what appropriate statistical methods they can use and complete on time. There are students who are at the stage of writing proposals. So during training, not only do we talk about data analysis but also methods and tools used to collect data and relate them to research problems”, said Associate Professor Susan Balaba Tumwebaze.

Prof. John Steven Tenywa from Makerere University Department of Agricultural Production said, scientific writing is a field that has shortcomings among students because most of the time, writing skills are not provided for by most curricular.

“This forum brings students from different systems and students are able to appreciate that their systems are better or worse and also to make friends."
