International initiatives to strengthen national health laboratory systems in resource-poor countries are often hampered by unfamiliarity with the country’s health laboratory environment and turnover of international partners during the initiative.

Abstract:
Poor and costly weed management constrains Groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) production in Uganda. A field study was therefore conducted at the National Semi-Arid Resources Research Institute (NaSARRI), Serere, Uganda during the long rains of 2020 and 2021 and short rains of 2020 to evaluate the efficacy of hand weeding and different herbicides on weed management, yield, and the economics of their use in groundnut. The experiment for this study comprised 7 treatments constituted by six herbicides; four pre-emergent (Glyphosate, Clethodim, S-Metolachlar, and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), and tw

Abstract Capture fisheries and aquaculture have remained important sources of food, nutrition, income and livelihoods to millions globally, with annual per capita consumption of fish in developing countries having increased from 5.2 kg in 1961 to 18.8 kg in 2013. On the contrary, low income food-deficit countries annual fish per capita consumption rose from 3.5 to 7.6 kg against 26.8 kg among industrialized countries. Increased demand for animal protein and declining capture fisheries has seen aquaculture grow rapidly than any other food production sector over the past three decades. Rapid glo

The paper explores multiple challenges encountered by academics in an attempt to fulfil the mandate of higher education institutions in Uganda of; teaching, research and service to community. Whereas teaching is the core function of any university, research and the third mission had majorly been used to inform most personnel decisions, thereby threatening not only quality but academics’ enthusiasm and growth.

Background and context: Uganda has one of the highest cervical cancer incidences in the world. Over 80% late diagnosis compounds the challenge. It is evident that women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have a higher prevalence of precancer lesions and have limited access to cervical cancer knowledge and relevant services especially women living with HIV, who are poor and marginalized. This results in a gap for first-line defense to cervical cancer. To bridge the gap and deliver services, Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) introduced cost-effective “see and treat”, single visit appr

Abstract:
Maize-soybean intercropping systems as a conservation farming practice are receiving increased focus from the scientific community. This is because of the advantages of intercropping, especially nutrient benefits through cereal-legume interactions, alternative sustainable methods to manage biotic stress (pests, diseases, weeds), and crop failure risk management due to erratic weather. In addition, smallholders in developing countries commonly use intercropping to produce crops. In Uganda, 40% of smallholder farmers are practicing intercropping yet no adequate location-specific information is a
