This one-day event, which took place at its Lubaga Campus, brought together key stakeholders of the university, including researchers and administrators, who discussed strategies for fostering mutually beneficial partnerships in research. The event is part of a project funded by the British Academy under the UK Government\u2019s International Science Partnerships Fund that aims to strengthen equitable partnerships in international research collaborations in Uganda. This project involves four Ugandan research institutions, namely, Makerere University, Uganda Martyrs University, Mountains of the Moon University, and National Agricultural Research Organization, and Nottingham Trent University in the UK.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3221\" src=\"https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ds.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"977\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ds.png 977w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ds-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ds-768x487.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Albert Luswata, the project Co-Principal investigator, noted that both the keynote speaker and the discussant were chosen not because they are Vice Chancellors (UMU and IGUKA respectively) but because they have participated in many international partnerships and have published on the same.<\/p>\n<p>Key Takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>sustainably addressing global development challenges requires working together in equitable partnerships, ensuring fairness of opportunity and process, and sharing of benefits, costs, and responsibilities at all stages.<\/li>\n<li>Challenges include power imbalances, differences in research capacities, changing funding environment, and sustainability.<\/li>\n<li>Solutions include involving stakeholders in priority setting, call design, resource allocation, and publication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In his keynote address, the Vice Chancellor of UMU, Professor Patrick Edrin Kyamanywa, emphasized the need to rethink partnerships in an uneven world. He argued \u201cthe growing global challenges, the changing funding environment and the need for a sustainable impact require that we demand for equitable partnerships.\u201d He observed that those in the South sometimes sacrifice equity in order to be able to access funding, making them vulnerable. For Professor Kyamanywa, to achieve equitable partnerships, \u201cthere should be commitment to prioritizing equity to avoid being instrumentalized.\u201d This commitment, he underlines, should be intentional right from the start of the negotiations by letting expectations known to the partners and donors even before formalizing the collaboration. \u201cTalk about the collaboration, not only the money,\u201d he strongly emphasized.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3222\" src=\"https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/hh.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"977\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/hh.png 977w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/hh-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/hh-768x520.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While noting that most collaborations start at individual level and then to the institution and community, Professor Kyamanywa argued that there should be commitment to communication and to relationship building with individuals, institutions and community. \u201cThe sustainability of a collaboration very much hinges on the collaboration of the individual, which makes it work since you become friends, then collaborators.\u201d But he emphasized the ethical dimensions of collaborative research partnerships. \u201cPartnerships should be based on mutual trust, friendship, respect, accountability and other ethical values\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned that the trust you build with partners matters a lot. \u201cIf you can\u2019t be trusted or accountable, no one will want to partner with you.\u201d For equitable collaborations, he also emphasized the importance of long term focus, output, co-ownership and stakeholder involvement at all stages, with clarity of roles, expectations and milestones. Priority setting, call design, resources allocation and implementation should be participatory, involving all stakeholders, including partners and the community, instead of appending them when all is already decided. This also applies to publications where southern partners should have equal opportunity to be first authors and not relegated to data collectors. \u201cEquity means fairness of opportunity, process, sharing of benefits, costs and responsibilities\u201d, he noted. For him, there is also a need to understand the context in which the partners are operating to achieve a sustainable impact. This requires sensitivity to the local requirements. For instance, there should be respect for local ethical approvals instead of assuming that the approvals are already done by the northern ethics committees.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3223\" src=\"https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"977\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Picture1.png 977w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Picture1-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Picture1-768x524.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In his response to the keynote address, the Vice Chancellor of St. Ignatius University Kabale (IGUKA), Professor Maximiano Ngabirano, cautioned that equity should move from rhetoric to reality and that global frameworks sometimes eclipse local realities. He noted that capacity building is usually reduced to workshops and short-term benefits and without ensuring long term sustainability and sustainable impact. For him, success of equitable partnerships should be measured by their changing of lives of people and not just publications.<\/p>\n<p>Other participants emphasized the need to enshrine how research outputs are to be disseminated to local communities, the need to respect local procurement procedures instead of imposing those of the donor and sharing the role of mapping collaborators instead of leaving it to the north partners.<\/p>\n<p>UMU&#8217;s Commitment to Research Collaboration<\/p>\n<p>UMU has been actively engaging in research collaborations with local and international partners, focusing on areas such as health, business, and agro-ecology. The university is committed to strengthening its research capacity and fostering partnerships that drive innovation and impact.<\/p>\n<p>Next Steps<\/p>\n<p>The workshop concluded with a call to action for researchers and administrators at the University to prioritize equitable partnerships in their collaborations, managing relationships with the partners by \u201cgiving ourselves value\u201d and negotiating better partnerships for mutual benefit. Participants also agreed to work towards more transparency and accountability and recognizing what projects do beyond publication. Clear guidelines on equitable partnerships will also be developed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3224\" src=\"https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ll.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"935\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ll.png 935w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ll-208x300.png 208w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ll-709x1024.png 709w, https:\/\/news.umu.ac.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ll-768x1109.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) \u00a0held an institutional workshop on 11th September 2025 that focused on building equitable partnerships for sustainable research collaborations.
