    A case study on the quality of healthcare in Uganda: Examining the effectiveness, safety, patient-centred and timeliness of district healthcare facilities
    (Journal of Governance and Accountability Studies (JGAS), 2021) Mwesigwa, David; Wahid, Khalid Abdul; Sohheng, Nipon
    Purpose: This study aims to examine the quality of healthcare in Uganda in terms of effectiveness, safety, patient-centred and timeliness of District Healthcare Facilities. Research methodology: This study took a case study design involving an intensive, descriptive, and holistic analysis of PHFs in the Hoima district. Case study research involves studying a single entity in depth so as to understand the larger cases; to describe and explain rather than predict. Results: The main factors affecting the quality of healthcare were; National health system, overall working environment, national budgetary allocation to the health sector, and collaboration between health centres and hospitals. Enhancing the quality of healthcare requires addressing the aforesaid as well as engaging with the LLGAs. Limitations: This study only covers one district local government in a country where there are over 100 districts hence limiting the notion of generalization of results. Contribution: This study contributes to understanding health-related issues from the perspective of quality, which is very key in health service delivery.

    Relevance of youth representation through political proportions in Uganda
    (Journal of Governance and Accountability Studies (JGAS), 2021) Mwesigwa, David; Wahid, Khalid Abdul
    Purpose: This study discusses the relevance of proportions of youth representatives in the governance of Uganda Research methodology: The central approach for this article was a desk review of obtainable works on youth representation in Uganda and other parts of the world Results: The outcomes suggest that the political interests considered as youth interests remain a big challenge and are hard to separate from other interests and are often considered public interests. As a consequence, proportions are one of the means to reimbursing for obstacles against the youths (and other marginalised groups) as well as an incentive towards their role in both politics and the national economy, which aim to achieve a degree of age-based parity in political statistics and as an element of democratisation processes. Thus, considering this method in relation to representational and expressive representatives who symbolise a unique constituency is necessary. Limitations: This study's main limitation is that much of the issues raised are limited to Uganda and may not be generalized across other countries with different political environments. Contribution: This study is relevant to Public Administration and political science seeing that youth functional roles remain loose in poise since what is represented is reliant on diverse stakeholders whose interests are not static.
