Participants of the KNOSA East Africa Learning Forum alongside members of the WHO Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research in a group photo with Makerere University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe at the Forum meeting in Kampala, Uganda.

This morning, I had the honour of officiating at the opening of the Learning Forum on Knowledge Systems in Uganda, hosted by the School of Public Health. The Forum, which brought together researchers from six countries, is part of the study activities under the project titled ‘Partnerships for Stronger Knowledge Systems in Africa (KNOSA)’.

In my remarks, I emphasised the critical role of collaboration in research as a pathway to solving societal challenges. I commend the School of Public Health for its continued leadership in advancing impactful scholarship.

Thank you Makerere School of Public Health for this important initiative.

This afternoon I have launched the Makerere University Grants Administration Professionals (MakGAP) after a four-day intensive training conducted by experts from Makerere University and Northwestern University, USA. With a portfolio of more than 100 new grants registered every month, Makerere University needs to have a critical mass of grants administration professionals to manage this huge research grants portfolio. I thank the Grants Administration and Management Unit (GAMSU), led by Prof. Sylvia Tamusuza Nakimera Nnanyonga for conducting the training.

The late former Vice Chancellor 2004 to 2009 Prof. Luboobi Livingstone.

I have received with deep sadness the news of the passing of Professor Livingstone Luboobi, former Vice Chancellor of Makerere University. A distinguished Professor of Mathematics, Professor Luboobi served as Vice Chancellor from 2004 to 2009, guiding the university through a critical period of transformation and growth. His contributions to academia and leadership at Makerere will be remembered with great respect and admiration. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
