The Vice Chancellor-Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe (C) poses for a group photo at CTF1, Makerere University, Kampala Uganda, with Facilitators as well as UPDF, UPF and UPS Officers that took part in the UNSCR 1325 training.

I had the pleasure to interact with officers from the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF), Uganda Prisons Service (UPS) and Uganda Police Force (UPF) who are undergoing training by the Makerere University Rotary Peace Center (RPC) on UN Security Council Resolution 1325. Mak is proud to collaborate with the agencies that maintain peace in our country.

Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe and President of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center signing Memorandum of Understanding as other officials witness

I signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the President of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center at Sun Yat-sen University. We have agreed to collaborate in advancing ophthalmology at our two institutions. Remarkably, one in every six ophthalmologists in China is a graduate of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, making it a leading global research hub in this field. I look forward to the fruits of our collaboration.
