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.

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe addresses the 6th National Conference on Communications during the opening ceremony on 3rd March 2021, Gold Tulip Hotel, Kampala.

At the 6th National Conference on Communications opened by the Minister of ICT and National Guidance, Hon. Judith Nabakooba, I have urged the Minister and the Executive Director (ED) of Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), Eng. Irene Kaggwa Sewankambo to establish an ICT Research Fund to help improve the quality of ICTs in Uganda. Makerere would be a proud partner in this initiative.

The ED and Minister have welcomed the proposal and I thank them.
