(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2004-11) Ntaraki, Anatoli
A number of factors have always frustrated the efforts of the researcher to deliver services in attempt to investigate into the influence of delegation and accountability in the management of selected primary schools in Nyabubare sub-county. The research was carried out in Government schools. Government primary schools in Uganda are not yielding fruits to the expectations of the people and instead people are becoming poorer. It was observed that the inadequacy of the services in Bushenyi District and Nyabubare Sub County in particular is basically because of the limited finances possessed both by the Government and other voluntary organizations. After gathering data, the researcher also analyzed it, presented it and discussed the findings. These findings are of great use to whoever is interested in the development of public primary schools in Nyabubare Sub County like the Government, Donor agencies and voluntary organizations. Thus the researcher concluded that head teachers and teachers should use the tools of delegation and accountability as effective measures for proper management and administration by schools. He therefore recommended that it is imperative that all head teachers work hand in hand with teachers, parent teachers associations and Boards of Governors and other relevant committees that can effectively manage primary schools.

Th~ study was carried out in Posta Uganda Limited located along Kampala Road in the city of Kampala. The researcher took a sample total of 60 participants .who included 40 employees, 10 administrative officers and 10 administrative assistants. The study findings were investigated in line with the research questions of the study. The first research question was, "what are the management factors that influence motivation" A research was conducted in order to answer that question and finding revealed the t though many staff feel they are treated well, the study discovered that members o · staff of the support staff felt management was to blame for the low effectivenes; of staff. The major recommendations were, that the company should try to pay in time ,and pay according to inflation levels because levels of payment at all levels of work influence motivation. When an individual is highly motivated then they do not think of other alternatives to their work and hence concentrate which results in better performance in the job. Management should try to involve workers in the decision making processes before implementing company wide changes. This will make the staff feel part of the team and hence struggle to achieve the set goals-which they were part of. This will lead to higher levels of commitment and resulting in higher levels of service delivery effectiveness.

The role of modern information technologies on the empowerment of women: case study Kampala city
(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2007-09) Nakiriggya, Eunice
This study evaluates the influence of ICTs on the empowerment of women. It seeks answer the question of whether or not ICTs are actually empowering women if so, in what ways, if not, why. The study also sought out the forms of ICTs assessed by women, to create a better understanding of the barriers to empowerment that women face in ICTs and to come up with more effective solutions to overcoming obstacles to women's empowerment through ICTs. The study shows that women are indeed being empowered economically through computer technology, but overall adoption of this technology is very small. There is a high lack of awareness among women as to the potential that the technology had for improving their lives but even those who are aware are not being empowered because of lack of time, money, motivation or the nature of their business. The findings indicate that there are enormous opportunities for women in internet technology as users of the technology, participants in the civil society are consumers of the technology. The opportunities for women's social, economic and political empowerment through the internet are too great to be dismissed. However, this study has recognized the disparity in connectivity between the urban and the rural dwellers, more so between gender relationships in the production, control attitude and access to the ICTs. In other words, the relationships of power between women on the Internet, roles and resource allocation of the needs of the two genders is far from being equal. It is evidently clear that most of the information circulating on the Internet is modeled in the male view point let alone the designing of the technology and its availability to both genders. This has caused a huge imbalance in the utilization of this valuable resource and manipulation of the available information by the women for their empowerment.
