Webinar Invitation: Making Systems Thinking Practical
@Makerere University School of Public Health, through the Complexity Innovative Research and Evaluation Methodologies (@CiremHub) Hub, invites researchers, evaluators, programme implementers, policymakers, students, and development practitioners to the next session of the Navigating Complexity Webinar Series.

Today, UWA had the privilege of hosting the British High Commissioner at the breathtaking Mt. Elgon Conservation Area, the majestic Mountain of Masaba, for an unforgettable nature walk along the iconic Sasa Trail.
From the roaring beauty of Chebonet Falls to the rich biodiversity that thrives across this spectacular landscape, the experience showcased the very best of Uganda’s natural heritage.
Expertly guided by our concessionaire John Hunwick, alongside the dedicated UWA team led by Tourism and Hospitality Officer David Okiring, the hike offered meaningful insights into conservation, eco-tourism, and the vital role of protecting nature for future generations.
