    Promoting SDGs through community engagement: the case of Uganda Martyrs University
    (Springer Cham, 2026-06-02) Mukidi, Acaali, Christopher
    Community engagement at Uganda Martyrs University (UMU), one of the three traditional pillars, alongside teaching, learning and research, serves as a vehicle for providing mutually beneficial services to the UMU community, either as a single group or in collaboration. This paper presents an account of some community engagement interventions at Uganda Martyrs University and the lessons drawn from these over the last three decades. With examples, the paper shows how the University, through community empowering interventions, has promoted and demonstrated activities contributing toward social and economic development of the communities and the realization of Sustainable Development Goals and targets.

    Whose education is it? the exclusion of African values from Higher Education
    (Uganda Martyrs University, 2017) Muwanga-Zake Wycliffe Frank
    The contents of this chapter are derived from a literature review about Quality Assurance (QA) and about values in higher education (HE), being led by the question of whose values are assured in HE. An attempt has was made to apply the questionnaires to home and business owners as well as selected professionals close by the universities of New England Armidale (Australia), University of Greenwich, London (UK) and Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi (Uganda) who were residing close by communities. Additionally the question of the relevance of HE was applied during the author's research towards a Master's degree at Rhodes University Grahamstown (South Africa), for which the dissertation questioned the relevance of apartheid education to black communities. Findings were backed up by the experiences of the author as a lecturer in Uganda, South Africa, Australia and the United Kingdom, as well. The chapter questions the learning process and the relevance of the knowledge to the local communities and host HE institutions.
