Determinants of renewable energy consumption in Uganda
(Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda, 2024-11-04) Ayoku Emmanuel
Globally, renewable energy has gained significant attention as nations strive to increase its share in their energy mixes to mitigate environmental challenges and address the pressing issue of climate change. This study investigates the determinants of renewable energy consumption in Uganda, focusing on GDP per capita, carbon dioxide emissions, access to electricity, trade openness, and human development index. Utilizing a longitudinal research design with time series and quantitative approaches, we analyze data from the World Bank database covering 1990 to 2020. using the STATA statistical package. The analysis reveals both short-run and long-run relationships between Renewable energy consumption (Rec) and various factors, including GDP per capita (Gdp pc), Carbon dioxide emissions (Co2), Access to electricity (AE), Human Development Index (HDI), and Trade openness (TO).

(Makerere University Business School Institutional Repository, 2018-11-16) Katalihwa Ann Marunga
In the construction sector, high rates for occurrence of scope creep encountered by construction projects have been an issue of concern from policy makers and academic scholars alike. Global statistics indicate that by the time most projects are completed, the actual cost exceeds the original contract price by about 40% or more. Ugandan construction projects have not been spared either with cases of scope creep occurrence are wide spread especially among public construction projects. This study therefore sought to examine scope creep management within the Ministry of Water and Environment Headquarters’ construction project. Specifically, the study intended to analyze causes of scope creep, examine the features of scope creep and suggest ways to manage scope creep in the Ministry of Water and Environment. The study applied a cross sectional research design with a sample size of 127 respondents and quantitative research approach was employed. Descriptive statistics using mean and standard deviation techniques were obtained with the help of SPSS (v20). Validity and reliability of the data collection instrument were both tested using content validity index and Cronbach’s α coefficient ensuring that all variables had α coefficients of 0.70 or more. In addition, expert judgment was obtained and statements that were not clear were modified to minimize ambiguity and inconsistencies.

(MUBS, 2019-11-28) Lwanga Ronald Williams
Technological advancements in the financial services sector have led to significant changes in the banking behavior. Mobile banking (m-banking) is an innovative product that has been advanced as way to reduce and manage banking affairs efficiently. Understanding the primary determinants ofm-banking adoption by customers is significant for banks, financial institutions and other users. This study is aimed at determining the factors affecting mobile banking adoption and usage by customers at UGAFODE Microfinance Ltd (MDI). The research was guided by three research questions: What are the factors that encourage adoption of mobile banking by customers? What are the challenges hindering the adoption of mobile banking in UGAFODE Microfinance Limited (MDI) and what strategies should be adopted to improve the adoption of mobile banking at UGAFODE Microfinance Limited? The study employed a quantitative design. 174 questionnaires were distributed to UGAFODE customers registered on mobile banking ranging from those who are active to non-active customers. Primary data was collected by administering questionnaires to the respondents who arc customers. Statistical tools like Excel and Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) software were used to analyze the data and draw conclusions. Data analyzed was presented 1n form of tables. From the 174 questionnaires that where distributed 173 were successfully returned. Each variable \\ as measured using 5-point Liken-scale. The results suggested that Perceived risk, Trust, perceived usefulness, Perceived ease of use are the determining factors that influence customer's ability to adopt mobile banking. From the findings. it is recommended from the findings that UGAFODE Microfinance Limited strengthen security and privacy on the mobile banking platform to improve their confidence levels to adopt and use of mobile banking. In addition, the institution should put in place training mechanisms for customers on how to use the mobile banking service.

Contractual Completeness, Trust and Perceived Project Performance in Construction Projects in Wakiso District Uganda.
(2024) Namakula, Christine
The Assessment report (2020), on Wakiso district local government performance assessment for FY2017/2018 revealed that over 70% of construction projects in the district were performing poorly as a result of stakeholders in the projects failing to execute their responsibilities and duties as per the contract. Despite the vast literature on project performance in construction projects, scanty studies have been conducted within the context of the Wakiso district. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between contractual completeness, trust, and project performance in Wakiso district, Uganda. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design which allowed for the collection of quantitative data using a self-administered questionnaire. The study population consisted of 284 officials from the Wakiso district local government and contractors. Krejcie & Morgan's (1970) sample distribution table was used to determine the sample size of 242 officials. The study used Pearson correlation to establish the association between variables and the linear regression model to establish the predictive power of the independent variables (contractual completeness and trust) on the dependent variable (perceived project performance). The quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS Version 25. The findings of the correlation analysis showed a significant moderate positive relationship between contractual completeness and perceived project performance. It also indicated a significant moderate positive relationship between trust and perceived project performance implying that the level of contractual completeness and trust is associated directly with perceived project performance. The regression analysis showed that contractual completeness predicts perceived project performance by 19.4% while trust predicts performance by 40.7%. The study concluded that trust with its constructs significantly and positively contributes to the perceived project performance of the construction projects in Wakiso district. The researcher recommends that the district authorities should monitor the procedures involved in awarding construction projects to all contractors. Government agencies should not delay contract approvals to contractors as this will affect the execution of the construction contracts. The government agencies should establish enforcement mechanisms to prevent violation of contracts by stakeholders involved in construction projects in the Wakiso district. Government agencies should ensure that there are no delays in project fund release as it affects the effective execution of contracts at the district. There is a need to determine the other predictors of perceived project performance since contractual completeness and trust only predicted 31.4% of the variance in perceived project performance of construction projects. This research investigated the influence of contractual completeness and trust on perceived project performance, future research can examine the effect of contractual completeness and trust on perceived project performance using mediating variables.
