| Title: | Mapping and auditing indigenous knowledge capacity in Uganda |
| Authors: | Ikoja-Odongo, J. Robert |
| Keywords: | Indigenous knowledge |
| Issue Date: | 2004 |
| Publisher: | ProLISSA |
| Abstract: | This paper explores indigenous knowledge in Uganda. It aims at mapping and auditing this knowledge. It begins with a statement why this knowledge occupies a central place among communities of developing countries, then explains what indigenous knowledge is, and provides the rationale for mapping and auditing it. Through the review of related literature, what other countries have done and are doing serve to compare whether or not Uganda is making headway. Interviews and observations were employed in primary data collection. The findings revealed what has been done and what is happening. The paper concludes with challenges and milestones in mainstreaming this knowledge, and makes recommendations for Africa to follow. |
