Item Amnesty as a Panacea to Conflict: An Assessment of the Contribution of Amnesty to Conflict Resolution and Sustainable Peace in Uganda(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2019) Muramuzi, Innocent; Mawa, Michael; Ngabirano, MaximianoThis paper addresses the inherent powerful nature of Amnesty in ending intractable conflicts. Ceteris paribus, cessation of conflict was expected once the amnesty Act was promulgated. However, since the promulgation of the Amnesty Act (2000), there are insurgents still at large that have not taken advantage of the Amnesty Act.Item Business Ethics as field of teaching, training and research in East Africa(2011) Mawa, Michael; Adams, JaneThe increase in corporate malfeasance has lead to a rising interest in Business Ethics in general and a particular focus on Business Ethics as an academic field, but the proliferation of Business Ethics as an academic field on a global scale is not yet as well known. This paper forms part of the global survey of Business Ethics that has been commissioned to gain a better understanding of the prevalence and scope of teaching, training and research in the field of Business Ethics. The paper provides a summary of the survey and research results regarding the current status of Business Ethics as an academic field in the East African region. The findings lead to a conclusion that Business Ethics has gained momentum and is having an increased presence in the region, but that it is far from well established as an academic fieldItem Globalisation Dimensions and Community Development: the Case of Uganda(2016) Olowo, George; Mawa, MichaelThis paper addresses the contradictory trends in economic development programmes that are merging up the rich and poor countries of the world today into one global village. The development trends of the developed world appear to be top-down. Compared to the trends in the developing world, where the rural community dominates, development plans and strategies are down-top and sometimes these have been described by the developed countries as being traditional and backward. Taking cognizance of this irony, this paper examines globalization with the view to pave ways for identification of new solutions for the development of the third world.Item The Implementation of Amnesty in Uganda : Limitations and Prospects(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2019) Muramuzi, Innocent; Mawa, Michael; Ngabirano, MaximianoPeacebuilding is a process of trying to restore cordial normal relations between people or groups of people especially after a conflict. It requires the reconciliation of differences, apology and forgiveness of past harm and the establishment of a co-operative relationship between groups after the conflict. Peacebuilding is a foundation for sustainable peace but this foundation needs a lot of resources including time as well as the support of all stakeholders in a country to have a common vision for the future if they are to achieve sustainable peace. This paper aimed to determine the limitations faced by amnesty seekers in Uganda and the prospects thereof to end conflicts and wars peacefully and the attainment of sustainable peace. The paper is based on a larger study that was conducted to assess the contribution of amnesty in ending conflicts and wars. This study was guided by the desire to end conflicts and wars through the use of amnesty. The study adopted both quantitative and qualitative study design. A questionnaire was used to collect data from one thousand respondents spread throughout the five districts in Uganda that were sampled; each district from Uganda’s five regions. In addition, one-on-one interviews were held with several key informants like reporters, Resident District Commissioners of the sampled districts, staff of NGos that were involved in the receiving of reporters, some sections of the security apparatus, lawyers and religious leaders. The results showed that peacebuilding through peaceful means like granting of amnesty can easily encourage peacebuilding and the achievement of sustainable peace in a country. The findings are beneficial to academicians, policy makers, NGO’s, peace negotiators and politicians as far as they will be painting a green picture in the use of peacebuilding mechanisms like amnesty to build peace if conflicts and wars are to end and sustainable peace is acheived. The mission behind this study was to establish the limitations faced by amnesty seekers in Uganda and what could be done to remove such limitations so that amnesty seekers in and outside Uganda can easily access amnesty.Item Marketing Policy And Competitiveness In The Manufacturing Sector In Uganda: A Case of Uganda Clays Ltd(Researchjournali’s Journal of Marketing, 2018) Rukanyangira, Nazarious; Mande Muyinda, Wilson; Mawa, MichaelThe current study set out to analyse the effect of Marketing Policy on Competitiveness in the manufacturing sector with specific reference to Uganda Clays Ltd. In order to achieve the above purpose the study objective was; To measure the contribution of Marketing Policy to Competitiveness in the manufacturing sector in Uganda. The current study applied the post-positivist paradigm and employed a descriptive cross-sectional survey design. The main Approach used was Quantitative but Qualitative method and/or approach was also employed on limited Scale. The findings revealed that Marketing Policy had a strong positive significant relationship with Competitiveness (r=(160).547, P<0.01), which meant marketing Policy has an impact on Competitiveness. However the Competitiveness referred to only applied to the current environment which did not promise continued Survival into the future. Given that fact the study has proposed the SUPMAPItem The mediating effect of Educational Decentralization in the Relationship between Citizen Participation and Education Service Delivery of Local Governments(International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology, 2022) Twinomujuni, Rosebell; Mawa, Michael; Buwule Musoke, Henry; Rukanyangira, NazariousThe current study was broadly undertaken to investigate the effect of educational decentralization on the fit citizen participation and education service delivery in selected Local Governments in Uganda. The results indicated a moderate level of Education Service Delivery in Ugandan Local Governments (M =2.74, SD = 1.095) with a statistically significant negative influence of nominal participation on education service delivery (β = -0.514, p < 0.001). Results also showed instrumental participation has got a statistically significant positive influence on Education decentralization (β = 0.299, p<0.001) with administrative decentralization has a negative significant influence on education service delivery (β = -0.264, p = 0.003 < 0.05). The study concluded a generally less than satisfactory level education service delivery and instrumental participation as a form of citizen participation remains crucial but with appropriate integration of administrative decentralization. It was thus recommended among others that the Ministry of Education and Sports in collaboration with local educational authority should develop and institutionalize strategies that periodically strengthen powers of local authorities to allocate financial resources and as well develop regulatory controls in public educational institutions for enhanced education service delivery.Item Transmission and Diversity of Pineapple Mealybug Wilt Disease Viruses In Central Uganda(2020) Mawa, MichaelPineapple mealybug wilt disease (PMWD) is one of the latest breakouts of diseases attacking pineapple in Uganda. Although, first reported around 2009, the etiology and epidemiology is not fully elucidated. Pineapple mealybug wilt disease was reportedly devastating in the districts of Mukono and Kayunga with incidence ranging from 15 to 100%, respectively. The causal viruses of PMWD belong to the genus Ampelovirus. However, information on the transmission and diversity of the causal viruses of pineapple mealybug wilt disease in Uganda is limited and scanty. Therefore, this study was undertaken to (1) identify and characterise the diversity of viruses associated with PMWD, (2) determine mealybug action threshold for transmission of PMWD and (3) identify sources of resistance to PMWD. Forty four (44) symptomatic pineapple plant leaves were collected from the districts of Masaka, Luwero, Kayunga and Mukono in central Uganda for laboratory analysis. Molecular analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was done to identify and assess the diversity of pineapple mealybug wilt disease causal viruses. Total plant RNA was extracted using Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), the heat-shock protein 70 homolog (Hsp 70h) gene of causal virus was amplified by RT-PCR using specific primer pair 225/226 for PMWaV-1 and 223/224 for PMWaV-2, respectively. Polymerase chain reaction products were separated by electrophoresis and the resulting amplicons were sequenced using Sanger method. The action threshold for transmission of PMWD was assessed using pineapple variety Smooth cayenne inoculated with five levels of viruliferous mealybugs 0, 1, 5, 10 and 15, respectively. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomised design (CRD) with eight replications. Screening for resistance to PMWD was done on five pineapple varieties (Smooth cayenne, Red Spanish
