Corruption is widely acknowledged as a systemic challenge affecting service delivery in the public sector across several developing countries, including Uganda. The health sector in particular continues to grapple with various corrupt practices that undermine efficiency and equitable access to quality healthcare services. However, limited research has been conducted to empirically examine the manifestations and impacts of corruption within the local context of health facilities. To address this gap, this study aimed to conduct an in-depth assessment of the effects of corruption on health service delivery using Mubende Municipality Hospital as a case study. A mixed methods research design was adopted incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis techniques were applied to quantitative data while qualitative data underwent thematic content analysis aided by computer software. Preliminary results indicate corruption is rampant in various forms including absenteeism, demanding unofficial fees, diversion of drugs and supplies, low quality services for those unable to pay bribes. Qualitative findings elucidate severe implications on access to timely care, availability and stockout of essential medicines and supplies, as well as erosion of trust in the public healthcare system. From the findings, 45 respondents strongly agreed that corruption was majorly caused by low salaries given to the medical officials at Mubende hospital which constituted 56.25%, and those who agreed were 25 respondents constituting 31.25%, only 1 of the respondents was no sure constituting 1.25%. Government should strengthen the capacity of local agencies for effective corruption management. This can be done through organizing capacity building workshops to train local officials and the community to enhance their skills in what they should do to report corruption cases in the health sector.

The study aimed at chronic illness and class participation in secondary schools in Kisoro district: a case study of St. Andrew’s academy in Kisoro municipality and it was guided by the following objectives; To find out the level of chronic illness at St. Andrews academy in Kisoro Municipality, to find out the level of class participation in English subject at St. Andrews academy in Kisoro Municipality and to find out the extent to which chronic illness influence class participation in English subject in Kisoro Municipality. The descriptive survey design was adopted; this was because cross sectional approach was useful in obtaining an overall picture as it stood at the time of the study. Cross sectional studies are comparatively cheap to undertake and easy to analyze. The research study was conducted in Kisoro Municipality in Kisoro District. Kisoro District is located in Kigezi region bordered by Kabale in the East, Democratic Republic of Congo in the west, Kanungu District in the North and Rwanda in the south. From the findings, Chronic illness pandemics should be controlled a cross secondary schools in the country so as children can build their career without fear of these serious diseases which most of the times has no cure. An assessment was conducted of the relationship between the level of chronic illness reported by students and their level of participation during classes for the English subject. The findings indicate a very high positive correlation of 0.705 between these two variables, demonstrating that as the level of a student's chronic illness increases, their level of participation in English class also tends to increase. Chronic illness pandemics should be controlled a cross secondary schools in the country so as children can build their career without fear of these serious diseases which most of the times has no cure.

Agriculture forms the main economic stay of most communities in Kanungu District, Uganda. Given the sector’s stratigraphic significance, optimizing yield amidst dynamic challenges such as shifting weather patterns exacerbates the need to investigate practices buttressing sustainability. This study explored the relationship between farming technique and tea crop productivity using Kayonza Tea Factory which sources leaf from over 350 out grower farmers as a case study. A mix of quantitative and qualitative data collection tools were employed between SeptemberDecember 2022 including questionnaires, interviews, and yield records scrutiny. As demonstrated in the table, the Pearson Correlation value of .706** along the diagonal indicated an exceptionally strong positive correlation between the degree of Conservation agriculture implementation adopted on farms and subsequent harvests attained that was deemed highly statistically significant at 99% confidence levels reflected by the small significance value of .000 substantially below the standard threshold. Results indicated that though organic methods prevail, their productivity varies with Integrated Pest Management garnering highest average yields annually from 2016 to date. Analysis of Variance confirmed a significant technique effect on levels of harvest. Training programmes should mobilize IPM dissemination custom-fit to smallholder contexts promoting organic-mineral fertilizer blends, biomass recycling and climate-smart techniques.

This research endeavors to scrutinize the intricate interplay between wildlife conservation and the development of tourism at Kavumba Recreation Centre in Wakiso District, Central Uganda. Through a cross-sectional descriptive design, employing both qualitative and quantitative research methods, the study aims to unearth the multifaceted dynamics governing this relationship. The objectives include investigating the impact of wildlife conservation on tourism development, exploring the relationship between wildlife conservation and Uganda's economic development, and analyzing the nexus between wildlife conservation and tourism development at Kavumba Recreation Centre. The study area's geographical, content, and time scope were meticulously defined to focus on the pertinent variables. The research employs a sample size of 50 respondents, utilizing both probability and non-probability sampling techniques. In the literature review, the conceptual framework is constructed, elucidating key terms such as wildlife, wildlife conservation, tourism, and tourism development. The study area, population, sample size, sampling techniques, and data collection methods are detailed. The coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.374 revealed that approximately 37.4% of the variations in economic development can be explained by wildlife conservation. The adjusted R Square value of 0.395 accounted for the number of predictors in the model and number of observations, and suggests that 39.5% of the variations in economic development was predictable from wildlife conservation. While the actual data collection is pending, the study anticipates positive findings, hinting at the symbiotic relationship between wildlife conservation and tourism development. The impact of effective conservation measures on tourism growth is expected to be evident. Statistical evidence supporting collaborations with conservation organizations, local communities, and governmental bodies strengthens the case for a holistic and integrated approach to wildlife preservation.
