    (Journal of Governance and Accountability Studies (JGAS), 2022) Mwesigwa, David; Bogere, Mohammed; Ogwal, John Baptist
    a descriptive study was used in which primary data was analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: The factors were identified and clustered into thematic areas; they indicate a cluster of three factors appeared as themes. The results suggest that financial and political challenges are key impediments to effective participation and a good number of the technical personnel were not appointed on the basis of technical know-how. Hoima district needed to intensify its advocacy regarding increased central government transfers as well as the disbursements of more unconditional grants coupled with regular monitoring of its technical personnel. Limitations: The key limitation is the geographical scope since this study covered only one district, implying that the results cannot be generalized for the whole country. Contribution: The results of this are essential to academics in both Public Administration and Policy studies interested in enhancing local democracy and citizen-based governance.

    Integrated policy formulation processes in local governments: A case study in mid-western Uganda
    (Journal of Governance and Accountability Studies, 2021) Mwesigwa, David; Bogere, Mohammed; Anastassova, Lina
    Purpose: This study set out to assess the level of policy formulation in Hoima district local government for effective service delivery in Uganda. Research methodology: A quantitative case study design was embraced, aiming at 30 local councillors and 60 technical officials. The real sample was 54 respondents. Data were gathered via a self-administered questionnaire and an interview guide. Numerical and non-numerical data were examined by way of descriptive statistics as well as thematic analysis. Results: Results suggest a moderate mean for policy formulation in Hoima as generated from all the five constructs namely; problem identification (μ=2.88; SD= 1.346), problem manifesto (μ=2.76; SD =1.347), policy agenda (μ=2.17; SD =1.268), policy debate (μ=2.58; SD =1.271) and policy decision (μ=2.20; SD =1.268). This was so because the overall mean was 2.52 and the overall SD was 1.300. Nevertheless, the numerous impediments confronted mainly at policy decision disrupted the process. Limitations: The study concentrated on one local government in Uganda and so the results may not be generalised to Uganda. Contribution: These results might be used as contributions for local governments in Uganda to evolve a guide on integrating policy formulation issues during orientation and or retooling local councillors and technical officials for better policy formulation processes. This article contributes to the budding understanding by underlining undertones in policy formulation so that local governments become more efficient in delivering services to the citizenry.
