PROMISE Consortium Convenes Global Partners in Kampala to Advance Evidence-Driven Sanitation and Health Systems The PROMISE Consortium is currently convening a multi-country workshop in Kampala, Uganda, bringing together partners from across Africa, Asia, and the United States to strengthen collaboration, share progress, and accelerate the use of evidence in sanitation, hygiene, and health systems. Now on its third day, the four-day workshop, hosted by @Makerere University School of Public Health (MakSPH) through Dr. Richard Mugambe and running from March 30th to April 2nd, focuses on strengthening mechanisms to institutionalise evidence-informed decision-making; building partner capacity to generate, analyze, and translate high-quality data using PROMISE-supported tools; and accelerating the translation of research into policy, practice, and investment.

Makerere University’s @AFRISAUganda 6th Graduation has unleashed over 160 skilled job creators through the SPEDA programme in dairy, poultry, feed & livestock enterprises. The event celebrated hands-on training that turns graduates into agripreneurs and solution providers. Prof. Julius Kikooma (@Kikooma) who represented @ProfNawangwe described AFRISA as a game-changing model that has transformed thousands of youth into entrepreneurs, employers and community leaders. “You have been equipped with hands-on skills. This is your time—go and use them... The biggest betrayal you can do to Makerere is to go back home and wait for employment,” added Prof. Buyinza Mukadasi (@BuyinzaMuk99226). #MakerereImpact A bold skills revolution for Uganda’s agricultural transformation!

At the on-going Africa Universities Summit at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre in Nairobi, I have emphasised the role of research and innovation in Africa’s transformation.

The Principal, management, staff, and student community of @MakCEDAT regret to announce the passing of Kavuma Michael Tevin, a student of MSc. in Technology Innovation and Industrial Development. Burial arrangements will be communicated later. May his Soul Rest in Peace.

Today we celebrate the life of Pastor John M. Ekudu-Adoku, Dean of Students at Makerere University (1995–2010). A loyal patriot who stayed during Uganda’s turbulent years, he served as Warden, navigated student crises with wisdom, and became a father figure to thousands of alumni. Through faith and resilience, he turned challenges into stepping stones. We extend our sincerest condolences to the family. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Tribute: news.mak.ac.ug/2026/03/celebr…
