Texto completoResumen
Government construction projects play an important role in both developed and developing countries. They contribute about 80% of total capital assets, 10 % of GDP, and more than 50% of the wealth invested in fixed assets and employment opportunities. As such, several countries like Sweden in Europe, Indonesia in Asia, South Africa and Kenya in East Africa have invested heavily and succeeded in construction projects. Similarly, Uganda has also invested heavily in construction projects; however, most of these projects have been unsuccessful, yet projects contribute to economic development. This study aimed to determine the contribution of leadership styles to the success of government construction projects in Uganda. The study was cross-sectional with a quantitative research design. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 100 Kampala Capital City Authority construction projects from a population of 120 projects that were stratified according to the five divisions of Kampala district. Four respondents were selected from each of the 100 projects selected, resulting in a total of 400 respondents for the study. Structural Equation Modelling was conducted using SPSS. Results show that leadership styles, especially communication and participation are positively and significantly associated with government construction project success. Therefore, government project managers should communicate effectively and involve stakeholders at every stage of the project cycle to realise project success. It is recommended that the path-goal theory be adopted for replicating the study. Also, government ministries must adopt the proposed model as it is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners, especially those involved in government construction projects. Similarly, the government, through the Ministry of Works and Transport, should constantly remind government project managers to ensure adequate internal and external communication and allow the participation of stakeholders during the implementation of government projects.

Texto completoResumen
The Ministry of the Environment of Japan started transport of radioactive soil and waste to the Fukushima Interim Storage Facility in March 2015 following the decontamination works from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station disaster in March 2011. Although it was an unprecedented challenge and seemed unfit for the ministry with mainly regulatory functions, the ministry prepared the transport plan and smoothly started the initial works. This article reviews the planning and initial implementation processes mainly from the organizational arrangement perspectives. In addition to the organization’s original expertise and experiences, the organization’s absorptive capacity that stemmed from organizational culture contributed to the smooth implementation. It is recommended that organization’s absorptive capacity be considered when setting up implementation arrangements for responses to an unprecedented challenge that requires quick decisions and flexible actions.

Background and context: Uganda Child Cancer Foundation (UCCF) is a nongovernmental organization that was formed in 2006, as an in-house fundraising charity for Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI). UCCF mobilizes treatment and social support for vulnerable children battling cancer and advocates for cancer control in Uganda. It is mainly managed by childhood cancer survivors/volunteers and individuals directly affected by cancer. Children Caring about Cancer (3C) program is a strategic approach through which UCCF supports children in schools to start cancer clubs which are called 3C clubs. Aim: The main aim is to create a platform through which school going children are empowered with knowledge and experiences to enable them appreciate the cancer burden and create opportunities for them to develop and implement interventions addressing the burden of cancer at their level. Strategy/Tactics: UCCF works closely with UCI in cancer control, UCI is a Uganda Ministry of Health national technical arm of government. UCCF was formed to raise awareness about cancer in the communities and public especially with the young people and also to support children with cancer, UCCF reaches high school students and teachers with cancer education and awareness through the ministry of education and school administration structures. UCCF runs a social media campaign dabbed #3ChildrenCaringAboutCancer which uses activities done by the clubs as posts targeting children, policy makers and the community. In addition, UCCF launched a national children cancer conference in 2016 as a unique platform for stakeholder engagements and for highlighting work the children are doing in cancer control. Program/Policy process: The UCCF-3C recruits and works with children in schools by establishing cancer clubs. The clubs run activities geared toward cancer awareness, patient support and community outreach/advocacy. The clubs are headed by patrons and student-led club executives. The executive is responsible for leadership and recruitment of fellow young people through a child to child process. The patrons are trained to act as mentors to the executive to support various 3C programs in school. The patrons have an interschool committee that enables them to network and plan to support the children and club needs. UCCF works with the UCI to coordinate 3C club activities, patrons, and students leaders in sustaining the clubs in schools. Outcomes: In 85 3C school clubs formed, the program has reached; 85,000 children, 3000 teachers and over 170,000 guardians. Young people have been able to contribute to cancer control in Uganda through cancer awareness, advocacy and patient support. What was learned: Children Caring about Cancer (3C) program is strategic for building resource capacity for sustainable cancer control in Uganda.

Background and context: Motorcycle transport system also known as “BodaBoda”' is one of Uganda's commonest means of transport with over 10,000 motorists ridding on the streets of Kampala on daily basis according to the statistics from Kampala City Authority. HealthAid Uganda (HAU) strategically engaged the above group in to promotion of cancer awareness, screening and blood donation for cancer patients following the lack of blood at the cancer institute for cancer patients. The process was strengthened by working in partnership with the Uganda Bodaboda Association 2010, an umbrella association that brings all the motorists together. It also included the Uganda Police Services, Ministry of Health and the private sector. Aim: To use motorists to deliver cancer education, awareness and facilitate blood donation for cancer patients in Uganda. Strategy/Tactics: The event was branded with the theme “Know your health, donate blood, save life”. It involved mobilization of the motorcycle riders through the BodaBoda 2010 association, a cancer awareness motorcycle ride across Kampala City, led by the head of traffic Uganda police as the chief rider. This was conducted along Kampala road and finally convened on the Uganda railway grounds, where the event was crowned with cancer education, screening and blood donation for the cancer patients. Program/Policy process: Community involvement and advocacy. Outcomes: There were large number of motorcycle riders 1000 who passionately turned up for the community event, high expectations to know about cancer and being able to go with cancer education materials for their families and communities. Blood bank collection team declared collecting 400 units of blood. The head, Department of Non Communicable Diseases at the Ministry of Health appreciated the efforts of HAU and pledged that the MOH will strongly work and support HAU on the initiative. The event attracted over 1500 individuals both the motorcycle riders and the community. What was learned: Using popular service groups has a high success rate in delivering cancer awareness and screening services to the least households in the community. HAU's success in this strategy was accelerated by the principle in which it focuses on working with organized groups so as to reach the households with cancer information and empower them to be able to make best choices. HAU looks further to extending the same activities to other communities of similar nature.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to establish the relationship between teachers’ welfare and performance of government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda.
Methodology: A cross sectional research design and post-positivist paradigm were used to collect data from 118 government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda where 475 respondents participated in the study. The study used closed-ended questionnaires, interview guide and checklists. The schools to be included were selected using simple random sampling and were considered as unit of analysis while the respondents who included District officials, head teachers, teachers and school management committee members formed the unit of enquiry, these were selected purposively based on the knowledge they had on the subject matter. Each school selected, provided the information from the respondents who in this case were the head teacher, two teachers and a chairperson of school management committee member. The research was guided by the null hypothesis, Ho1: Teachers’ welfare has no relationship with performance of government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda.
Findings: The findings of the study revealed a positive significant relationship between teachers’ welfare and performance of government aided performance primary school at 99% level of confidence (r=.546, p<.01), thus rejecting the null hypothesis (Ho1). The results signify that increase in teachers’ welfare, is highly associated with good performance of government aided primary schools in Isingiro district, Uganda.
Recommendations: This study recommend the government through the Ministry of Education & Sports to impose the minimum-wage law for government aided primary school teachers’ pay which possibly caters for teachers’ motivation when given some due care and attention. In addition, the Ministry of Education & Sports should create social benefits for government aided primary school teachers as a means to enhance their wellbeing and motivate them. Moreover, it is also recommended that government aided primary schools’ teachers be given some allowances such as rental, medical care and transport to motivate them.

This study analyzed market entry timing based on the procurement data of construction works of the eight Regional Development Bureaus of Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. After reviewing key aspects, a regression analysis was performed on the possible factors leading to entry. We found that when an efficient company enters the market, the number of bids is large and there are many tender participants, regardless of the previous bid rate and predetermined planned price trend.

Texto completoResumen
The road sector in Botswana continues to develop its road network throughout the country at a tremendous rate. When Botswana gained independence in 1966, it had only 10 km (16 mi) of bitumen road. By 1992 the total length of bituminous surfaced road reached 3500 km (2,175 mi) out of a total road network of 18 000 km (11,285 mi). These statistics clearly show that the majority of roads are not yet surfaced; these are low-volume roads that provide access to the rural areas where most of the country’s population is found, though in low density. In spite of the rapid improvement in the quality of the national road network in recent years, much remains to be done. In the early 1970s and early 1980s the rural roads unit was introduced in the Ministry of Works Transport and Communications, which was charged with the responsibility of design and construction of low-volume roads around the country in a bid to integrate the country’s road network. This unit was later disbanded in the 1990s, and all roads are improved through the conventional procurement system using private contractors. For these roads the justification of a surfacing project based on conventional economic return methods does not apply, and worse still, the road improvements have to compete with other amenities for the same limited resources. Three ministries in Botswana are responsible for roads: Ministry of Works Transport and Communications, Ministry of Local Government, and Ministry of Trade, Industry, Wildlife and Tourism. These ministries have different responsibilities for different roads within the country, and earth, sand, and gravel roads are found under the jurisdiction of each of the ministries. The major drawbacks concerning low-volume roads in Botswana are inadequate maintenance, poor road construction materials, and the environmental impacts of the roads. Since the budget and resources are inadequate to keep these roads in good condition, it would be prudent to find technological means that would improve the locally available road construction materials so as to minimize their effects on the environment and vehicle operating costs.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this study was to investigate the retention of employees in the Department of Transport in the Ministry of Works and Transport. The research was undertaken because employees in the Department of Transport are resigning rapidly, creating a high vacancy rate in the department. There is thus a need to investigate the reason/s why employees are leaving the institution so that strategies can be implemented to mitigate the high number of resignations. In order to obtain the desired results, the research project used both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
The study revealed that the Department of Transport has no guidelines on retention of employees and this has negatively affected the department, particularly its failure to retain employees with specialised skills that are highly sought in the labour market. Another shortcoming of the Department of Transport is the failure to offer performance-related incentives and market-related remuneration. In the absence of these benefits, employees opt to resign and seek better remuneration packages elsewhere. It is therefore proposed that the department should review its efforts to retain employees, including the formulation of retention guidelines and reviewing the remuneration of employees.Public Administration

The study examined strategies for improving productivity within the Central Transport
Organization (CTO). This study was conducted in Gaborone at the Central Transport
Organization (CTO) department in the Ministry of Works, Transport and Communication
of Botswana. It was based on a probability sample of five CIQ workshops selected
through a simple random sample design, with additional units purposively chosen namely,
the Gaborone Regional workshop, Police and Pool vehicle workshops, Sebele and
Franscistown Auto/Plant workshops. The sample was based on a target population of II 0
study elements comprising Senior, middle workshop managers, including the general staff.
The CTO was established as a fully-fledged department in 1972 when the Public Works
Department (PWD) was expanded to become the Ministry of Works Transport and
Communication (MWTC). It was mandated to provide transport services to various
government departments/ministries through its different divisions. The divisions are:
Fleet, Mechanical, Supplies, Management Information Systems (MIS), Accounts and
Administration. The Departments operate on a commercial basis and levies charges for
services provided to all users. However, the organization has never been able to cope with
the ever-growing demand for goods and services from its government sister agencies and
other stakeholders. This challenge is increasingly compounded by a fast-growing
economy, increased social activities and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
All these issues have created a need for the CTO to improve quality and productivity of its
services to meet these customer demands. To achieve this end, the management of the
organization will have to make a set of informed choices on strategies and measurement
techniques to monitor and improve productivity levels.
To measure productivity, an approach based on capital, labour productivity and human
resource skill and capacity will be employed. Consequently, efficient and effective
performance will be measured by, among others, the existence and the level of
implementation of Performance Management Systems, a Performance Based Reward
System, and Work Improvement Teams.
Therefore, the methodology adopted will be comprehensively qualitative and analytically
descriptive. In this case, both primary and secondary sources of data were employed.
Structured data collection instruments were used to gauge perceptions on availability and
accessibility of resources to support technical and management processes in their pursuit
for excellent performance.
The Republic Of Singapore has been acknowledged worldwide for the successful
implementation of productivity initiatives. In this paper there will be substantial reference
to the models used in Singapore as a· learning process and sharing of ideas from best
practise.Thesis (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2005

The Commission for making the river Vltava and the river Labe in Bohemia navigable was founded in 1896 on the basis of a decree of the ministry of interior as the first water management office to be systematically engaged in making Czech rivers navigable by the canalization method. The Commission was headed by the vice-regent of the Kingdom of Bohemia to whom the members of state's and country's curia were subordinate. The executive section was represented by the central office, composed of the technical and administrative departments. Its activities were financed by two thirds by the Austrian state, one third was paid from the Czech country's treasury. After the establishment of the independent Czechoslovak republic, both curias were dissolved and the Commission was put under the control of the ministry of public works. The president of the country's political administration was appointed as the head of the Commission. The competence of the Commission was step by step extended from the initially entrusted task of making the river Vltava and the river Labe in the division Prague - Ústí nad Labem navigable also to making the river Vltava in Prague navigable as well as to the adaptation of the Holešovice port in Prague to a modern trade port and to drawing up studies on the utilization of water...

Texto completoResumen
Railways is a transportation model that has been attracting increasing attention in recent years due to its environmental awareness, long-term fixed price guarantee unlike other modes of transportation, being the most suitable type of transportation for heavy tonnage and bulky loads in terms of physical and cost, being reliable, not being affected by bad weather conditions, etc. The global rail transport industry is growing, pushing the demand of the rolling stock industry to growth in recent years. An increasing momentum is expected to continue in the next few years, due to the increase in both passenger and rail freight transport. In Türkiye, TCDD Taşımacılık A.Ş. needs 233 high-speed train/high-speed train sets, 125 Electric Train Sets (EMU), 930 electric locomotives, 146 diesel locomotives, 24.000 freight wagons, 62 sets of urban vehicles (Başkentray and Marmaray) by 2050. The total cost of all these vehicles is estimated to be at least 17.4 billion Euros. Investments to be made in rail system vehicles in the medium and long term will contribute greatly to the development of the local and national rail system vehicle industry in our country. In order to develop the R&D, design and production capabilities of the domestic industry, to manufacture, maintain and repair all kinds of rail system vehicles and their sub-components, based on the domestic and national production and design of rail system vehicles and increasing the rate of domesticity in their critical components, TÜRASAŞ, which was established as the relevant institution of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure by merging of TÜLOMSAŞ, TÜVASAŞ and TÜDEMSAŞ, the three subsidiaries of TCDD, set out with the mission of ensuring stable growth by reaching a wider product range with technology-intensive productions that steer the sector with a new perspective and synergy consisting of the merger of three subsidiaries and it has become the biggest representative of the rail systems sector in our country with its experience of more than a hundred years, knowledge, approximately 4000 trained manpower, integrated facilities producing national and domestic technologies, 2 R&D Centers located in Eskişehir and Sakarya Regional Directorate in a total area of 400 thousand m². TÜRASAŞ, which has a wide product range, carries out domestic and national design and production studies of rail system vehicles such as various types of shunting locomotives (diesel electric, diesel hydraulic, electric, hybrid), mainline locomotives (diesel electric, diesel hydraulic, electric), train sets (diesel, electric), suburban trains, wagons (passenger, freight) and TÜRASAŞ is also working to localize many critical subcomponents of these vehicles, especially systems such as diesel engine, traction motor, traction converter, TCMS (Train Control and Management System) or to increase their localization rates. With the domestic and national production of these works, imports will be prevented and a large amount of foreign currency will be kept in our country. When the maintenance and spare parts costs are taken into consideration, the profit provided by domestic and national production increases even more.

Moro, Leben y Alice Robinson. Key Considerations: Cross-Border Dynamics between Uganda and South Sudan in the Context of the Outbreak of Ebola, 2022. Institute of Development Studies, diciembre de 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/sshap.2022.045.
Texto completoResumen
This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between South Sudan and Uganda in the context of the 2022 outbreak of Ebola in Uganda, and the risk of the spread of the virus into South Sudan. It is one of four briefs exploring cross-border dynamics in the context of the outbreak, alongside Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania. The outbreak is of the Sudan strain of Ebola (Sudan Virus Disease, SVD). SVD is used in this paper to refer to the current outbreak in East Africa, whereas outbreaks of Zaire Ebolavirus disease or general references to Ebola are referred to as EVD. The outbreak of SVD began in Mubende, Uganda, on 19 September 2022. At the time of writing (25 November), there had been 141 confirmed cases and 55 deaths, including seven health workers. Infections had been confirmed in nine districts in Uganda, including in Kampala – a major transport hub. Vaccines used in previous Ebola outbreaks are effective against the Zaire strain of Ebola, and vaccines that could work against the Sudan strain remain under investigation. As of November 2022, there have been no confirmed cases of SVD imported into South Sudan, although several alerts have been investigated. However, the fear that travellers from Uganda might bring the disease into South Sudan has spurred preparations by government institutions and partner organisations, building on the experiences acquired during past outbreaks, particularly Ebola and COVID-19. An EVD High Level Taskforce has been formed, chaired by the Minister for Cabinet Affairs and co-chaired by the Minister of Health. The South Sudan Ministry of Health (MoH) has activated the Public Health Emergency Operation Centre (PHEOC) and Incident Management System (IMS). A national EVD Readiness Plan has been developed and endorsed by the government. A free hotline (number 6666) is in place, which can be used either to report suspected cases or for information on Ebola. Training of staff at border entry points has started. This brief is based on a rapid review of published and grey literature, and informal discussions with the South Sudan Red Cross, IOM, academics from University of Juba, and the PHEOC. It was requested by the Collective Service and was written by Leben Nelson Moro (University of Juba) and Alice Robinson (London School of Economics). It was reviewed by colleagues at the University of Bath, the PHEOC, Internews, Anthrologica, the Institute of Development Studies and the Collective Service. The brief is the responsibility of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP).

This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between Uganda and Kenya in the context of the outbreak of Ebola (Sudan Virus Disease, SVD) in Uganda. It is part of a series focusing on at-risk border areas between Uganda and four high priority neighbouring countries: Kenya; Rwanda; Tanzania, and South Sudan. The outbreak began in Mubende District, Uganda on 19 September 2022, approximately 340km from the Kenyan border. At the time of writing (December 2022), the outbreak had spread to eight Ugandan districts, including two in the Kampala metropolitan area. Kampala is a transport hub, with a population over 3.6 million. While the global risk from SVD remains low according to the World Health Organization (WHO), its presence in the Ugandan capital has significantly heightened the risk to regional neighbours. Kenya is categorised as a priority level 1 country, following a case in Jinja on the road between Kampala and the Kenyan border, on 13 November 2022. A total of 23 suspected cases were tested in Kenya up to 1 December 2022, all with negative results. To date, no case of SVD has been imported into the country from Uganda. This brief provides details about cross-border relations between the two states, the political and economic dynamics likely to influence these, and the specific areas and actors most at risk.

This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between Tanzania and Uganda in the context of the outbreak of Ebola (Sudan Virus Disease, SVD) in Uganda. It is part of a series focusing on at-risk border areas between Uganda and four high priority neighbouring countries: Rwanda; Tanzania; Kenya and South Sudan. The current outbreak is of the Sudan strain of Ebola (SVD). SVD is used in this paper to refer to the current outbreak in East Africa, whereas outbreaks of Zaire Ebolavirus disease or general references to Ebola are referred to as EVD. The current outbreak began in Mubende, Uganda, on 19 September 2022, approximately 240km from the Uganda-Tanzania border. It has since spread to nine Ugandan districts, including two in the Kampala metropolitan area. Kampala is a transport hub, with a population over 3.6 million. While the global risk from SVD remains low according to the World Health Organization, its presence in the Ugandan capital has significantly heightened the risk to regional neighbours. At the time of writing, there had been no cases of Ebola imported from Uganda into Tanzania. This brief provides details about cross-border relations, the political and economic dynamics likely to influence these, and specific areas and actors most at risk. It is based on a rapid review of existing published and grey literature, previous ethnographic research in Tanzania, and informal discussions with colleagues from the Tanzania’s Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC), Tanzania National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Uganda Red Cross Society, Tanzania Red Cross Society (TRCS), International Organization for Migration (IOM), IFRC, US CDC and CDC Tanzania. The brief was developed by Shelley Lees and Mark Marchant (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine) with support from Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica) and Hugh Lamarque (University of Edinburgh). Additional review and inputs were provided by The Tanzania Red Cross and UNICEF. The brief is the responsibility of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP).
