Feasibility Study for an Inpatient Palliative Care and Hospice Facility in the Greater Kigezi Region, South-Western Uganda
REFNo: HS8389ES
General Objective
To determine whether Kabale Christian Care (KCC) should establish an inpatient palliative care and hospice facility in the greater Kigezi region and, if so, to recommend the most feasible and sustainable service delivery model, scale, location, and implementation approach.
Specific Objectives
1. To assess the burden of serious health-related suffering and the likely need for inpatient palliative and hospice care in the greater Kigezi region (in patient numbers and inpatient bed-days per year).
2. To map existing palliative care, cancer care, chronic illness care, home-based care, referral pathways, and end-of-life services across the five districts of Kabale, Kanungu, Kisoro, Rubanda, and Rukiga.
3. To identify unmet service gaps that are not adequately addressed by current outpatient, hospital-based, home-based, or outreach palliative care services.
4. To estimate the likely demand for different forms of inpatient support, including symptom-control admission, respite care, caregiver-relief admission, and end-of-life (terminal) care.
5. To assess the preferences and perceptions of patients, caregivers, clinicians, faith leaders, and community stakeholders regarding inpatient hospice and palliative care.
6. To analyse alternative service delivery models — specifically a standalone inpatient hospice and an enhanced community-based model with short-stay beds — against transparent criteria: unmet need, accessibility, clinical appropriateness, staffing feasibility, financial sustainability, cultural acceptability, and implementation risk.
7. To assess operational feasibility, including staffing, medicines (especially morphine supply), referral systems, transport, infrastructure, governance, and legal licensing requirements.
8. To assess financial feasibility, including capital expenditure (CAPEX), operating expenditure (OPEX), possible funding pathways, and sustainability scenarios (low, medium, high demand) over a five-year period.
9. To provide a clear, actionable recommendation on whether KCC should proceed, proceed in phases, or defer the proposed inpatient facility, and if proceeding, to deliver a phased implementation roadmap with costs, partners, risks, and success indicators.

A History of Independent Uganda
REFNo: SS5846ES
In this research I am using newly opened government records to write a history of Uganda from 1962 up to the beginning of the National Resistance Movement government in 1986. The project aims to fill a major gap in academic writing about Uganda. While there is a profusion of historical scholarship about colonial Uganda, and while there is an even greater body of political science and development studies literature about Uganda in the 1990s and 2000s, historians have written very little about Milton Obote’s and Idi Amin’s Uganda. What scholarship has been written about the period has largely been composed by scholars who saw Uganda’s past as a source of malignancy, division, and failure. My interest is in documenting the marginal forms of political community that Ugandans created in the 1960s and 70s. I am interested in the paths-not-taken of Ugandan history, the imagined polities that activists constituted in order to engage with the Ugandan state. The period was one of extraordinary activity and imagination. My research focused on people who I call ‘commoners’, to signify their distance from the center of power. Some of the people who I’m interested in were demagogues, self-righteously convinced that other Ugandans were their enemies. Others of them were earnest patriots, defending local cultures against the supervening powers of the Ugandan state. All of the people about whom I researching had to navigate the uncertain relationship between center and periphery. They worked in forgotten and marginal places, distant from the political center.
