Graduate research requires that communication along the impact pathway has satisfactory depth and or breadth as desired by the respective stakeholders. Inefficient writing and communication skills make scientists unable to widely disseminate research outputs for the benefit of society and promotion of academic and public debates. Inability to write and communicate also makes scientists unable to attract funding from policy makers and technocrats and inhibits their contribution towards desired societal changes.

Most times, graduate students face the above mentioned challenges and it was in that context that Regional Capacity Building for Sustainable Natural Resource Management and Agricultural Improvement under Climate Change (CAPSNAC), the NORHED-funded project at Makerere University recognized this challenge and advocated for remedial and retooling courses to equip students in science communication to quicken their dissertation completion process.

The four days’ write-shop was spread over a two-week period with the first one held on 13th-14th August 2020 and the second scheduled for 27th – 28th August 2020 targeting the back-log of CAPSNAC students.

While opening the write-shops at the School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bioengineering Conference Hall, the CAPSNAC Principal Investigator Prof. Samuel Kyamanywa said, the main objective was to help the students complete writing their papers and theses so that they are able to complete their program before the NORHED CAPASNAC project cost extension ends on 31st December 2020 deadline.
