    Stakeholder Engagement and Quality Health Care Service Delivery in Government Hospitals. A Case of Lyantonde Hospital
    (International Journal for Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR), 2024) Kyomuhangi, Fatuma; Muriisa, Roberts; Kansiime, Noel Kiiza
    This study examines the impact of stakeholder involvement on the quality of healthcare service delivery in government hospitals in Lyantonde District, Uganda. The main issue identified is the subpar quality of healthcare services in the district, which is attributed to a lack of adequate stakeholder engagement in the planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) processes. The study, employing a case study design, involved 257 respondents, including hospital administration, doctors, nurses, Local Council Leaders, the District Health Officer (DHO), a Biostatistician, the Lyantonde Hospital Management Committee, and patients. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and documentary reviews, analyzed through SPSS and content analysis. A key finding is that while stakeholders like local leaders and district officials are actively involved, there is a significant lack of direct engagement from community members and patients, particularly in planning and M&E processes. The study recommends enhancing community involvement through structured consultations and participatory approaches to improve healthcare service delivery. The conclusion underscores that addressing the gaps in stakeholder engagement is crucial for improving the quality of healthcare services and ensuring that community needs are effectively met.

    The State, Civil Society and Democracy in Uganda
    (American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS), 2019) Kansiime, Noel Kiiza
    Despite increased importance and value, the civil society in the developing world has lagged behind their counterparts in the developed world in terms of performing expected functions and providing checks and balances to the central governments. In Uganda, the basic descriptive information about civil society, its size, area of activity, domestic sources of monetary and material support, and the policy framework in which it operates seem not to be available in an organized way. Civil society (CSOs) structures seem to be superficial and are shadows of the ideal concept of civil society because some of the actors have been compromised, deterred by state while others side with government when they are supposed to provide checks and balances or to promote African Charter on Democracy, Elections, and Governance (ACDEG). Therefore, this article seeks to examine the evolution and role of civil society in Uganda; how the state relates with civil society; factors that influence State-CSOs relationship in the area of advocacy and democracy and whether the theoretical concept of civil society is applicable in Uganda.
