    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.

    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.

    Technology among petty commodity producers: The case of Katwe metal workers.
    ( 2014-10-14) Nabuguzi, Emmanuel
    The study seeks to examine the role of petty commodity producers in the national economy. It deals with the question of the reproduction of urban labour power in regard to the interconnection between workers of the industrial, commercial and the public service sectors, and those in the so called “informal sector”. This leads to an examination of the political relations that bind petty commodity production to the state. The study touches on conceptual problems related to this category of activities which it situates in the formal/informal dichotomy and examines their implications for a state in political and economic crisis. Examples are drawn from the specific locality of Katwe, in its history, the nature of goods produced by the petty commodity procedures there and the relations of production within their workshops. The study then draws conclusion on various aspects of these production processes: on the dependence of these producers on the state, perspectives for increase in scale and quality of production, legal status of these activities and implications for the organisation of urban social forces.
