    An analysis of the Agro-industry in Uganda and its role in economic development
    ( 1965) Makerere Institute of Social Research
    Uganda's major industry is agriculture and most non-farm production and service is related to agriculture. Nearly ninety per--cent of the population lives in rural areas. A large share of the industrial employment in centres like Jinja and Kampala is in agricultural processing and service industry. The development of agro-industrial setup certainly facilitates the training of workers. Such training in effect enhances economic mobility in the direction of urbanization. This in turn will fundamentally affect both the family organization and industrial relations in the society. The importance of understanding the moving forces of such structural changes in the process of change and development cannot be over-emphasized. Within the nexus' of the agro-industrial development areas' the special problem connected with the so called 'target workers and their relations with the 'host' group. Connected with this relationship- is the issue; of the land tenure system which all affect the productivity of agriculture.

    Capitalism and peasant agriculture in Africa.
    ( 1984) Anyang, Nyongo P.
    The inability of capitalism to destroy pre-capitalist relations of production in African agriculture, or its co-existence with such relations of production has led to various theories purporting to explain the manner in which pre-capitalist nodes of production are "usually" incorporated into, or subordinated to the capitalist mode of production bring the early phases of capitalist development.

    Factors influencing the location of industry in Uganda
    ( 1966-10-07) Nixson, F.I
    This paper attempts to give a brief description of the factors influencing the location of industry within Uganda. It should be kept , in mind that it is not the intention of this paper to evaluate the role of the common market on the distribution of industry between the three member states. Although this is a problem of great interest and significance, circumstances have prevented the present writer from working on this topic, and thus the analysis must be confined to locational factors within a single country, namely Uganda.

    Financing of local government with special reference to vertical and horizontal revenue sharing
    (Makerere Institute of Social Research, 1993) Andersen, Bent Rold
    "Decentralization" is a label that is put on many bottles. '"Decentralization" may mean everything from "deconcentration", where the Central Government exerts its powers through satellites scattered around in the country; via "delegation” where the Central Government keeps control, but temporarily lends its power to subordinate units; to genuine "devolution", where the local governments have Powers to make their own binding decisions which cannot be reversed by any superior authority as long as they are consistent with the law, and where they have financial means of their own that cannot be taken away from them.

    Individualization of common wetlands in Uganda and the role of changing economic opportunities: a case study of Igogero Wetland, Iganga District
    ( 1996-03) Kizito, Christopher M.K. ; Nsubuga, Edward
    Issues of ownership and management of communally used natural resources are becoming a growing concern in East Africa. Many Countries are in the process of analyzing and formulating policies in regard to tenure and sustainable management of these common property resources. In the case of Uganda, a number of factors including social, economic and political ones, have greatly affected the existence and state of these resources in the recent past. Changes in these factors have often resulted in the emergence of different local tenure systems in different wetland areas in Uganda.
