Decision making in infrastructure development requires careful consideration and a balance of several criteria. For most projects, a complex decision making process is almost inevitable owing to the ever increasing challenges to achieve sustainable urban development as the populations of our cities grow and their boundaries expand. A large number of significant non-homogenous capital investment projects are proposed every year to Kampala Capital City Authority by a range of different stakeholders. However, limited resources mean that the selection of all the proposed projects is quite obviously impossible. These investments can have significant economic, environmental and social impacts due to the sheer volume of people who are directly and indirectly affected. So the decision-makers need to consider how to maximize their return on the investment of public funds. As the gap between the available funds and investment needs widens, identifying the most sustainable projects becomes a critical activity. This study assessed the use of multi-stakeholder criteria approach to infrastructure development using Kampala Capital City Authority as the case study. The study was guided by objectives which included assessment of the initial approach to decision making, the current institutional status and making suggestions for improved multi-stakeholder involvement in the decision making approach for infrastructure development at KCCA. The researcher used a case study approach and a sample of 44 respondents out of a target population of 54 respondents from the various directorates at KCCA. The study considered both quantitative and qualitative approaches, questionnaires and interview guides as data collection instruments. The data collected was analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS, Version 25) and the results were presented using tabular frequency tables. The study findings were used as a basis to make suggestions for improving multistakeholder involvement in decision making for infrastructure development at KCCA. In summary, 55%, of the respondents agreed that there was stakeholder involvement in decision making for infrastructure development at KCCA. This implied that stakeholders were indeed involved in the decision making process although there was need for improvement as particular interest groups like the disabled persons who felt that their concerns were not adequately being addressed. The study finding on the challenges to stakeholder involvement revealed that many of the respondents felt that the was a lack of a bottom to top stakeholder consultation in the decision making process, that environmental issues were not being adhered to in decision making, that there was a lack of gender mainstreaming in decision making, 87.5% stated that there was a challenge of conflicting political roles, 90% of the respondents agreed that there was a challenge land tenure systems in making infrastructure development decisions, some felt that infrastructure development projects were overpriced, others stated that there was a lack of consideration for people with disabilities, a few felt that there was a lack of an infrastructure development master plan, 77.5% mentioned that the challenge was in adhering to the development master plan, some few felt that KCCA lacked qualified staff, others felt that the quality of contracted infrastructure works was poor and some felt that there was a delayed allocation of funds for infrastructure development works. From the study finding, the above were captured as the challenges to infrastructure development that needed improvement through improved stakeholder involvement.

This piece of work in the report is written based on the knowledge that I obtained from the industrial training at GM sugar Limited. The report begins by looking at the background of the company to the current state. It looks at the aims and objectives of the company basing on the vision and mission statements and describes the main activities that are done at the factory. The report in this chapter also describes the company’s policy to protect the environment and then the organization’s structure. The report further looks at the different processes that are undertaken to process raw sugarcane to sugar crystal. It begins by looking at the sugarcane growth and harvesting using of the different mechanisms. It describes how cane is weighed and the how it acts as a mode of payment of outgrowers, the loading of cane and the cane handling equipment at the cane yard. It further discusses the ways how cane can reduce quality and the ways to avoid such losses. It further discusses the procedures followed to extract the juice out of the cane and the way of cane juice handling by treatment, heating and clarification of the juice. The processes therein to remove the mud and formation of the mud, concentration of the juice to syrup and then pan boiling to form the crystals by separation of from the molasses using the centrifugal machines and then sugar drying to bagging and storage. The report also looks at how the end products of sugar processing are handled for example bagasse that is used as a fuel in the cogeneration, filter cake as field manure and molasses to the distillery The topics in the report further describe the ways for maximizing all the processes to obtain enough sugars through the different recycle streams. Improving productivity and reducing the cost of production are important considerations underlying various modifications.

The field attachment was carried out at the bread house lweza kitchen on Entebbe road from 28th June 2023 to August in the department of sales. In fulfillment of the internship study, the following objectives were intended to be addressed by the study, to enable the students to interpret the theories and the books to actual practice, to provide students with the practical experience in areas of operation where he /she may future be expected to render services on completion of the degree course. Different activities that were carried out e.g. having top cabinet meetings. The students also encounter and faced a number of challenges during the field study for example limited finances as a result of high cost of living due to the field work where students had to cater for the costs transport to the working places It is recommended that the university should ensure that students on internship should at least be given some money to cater for some expenses.

This report explains what I did at the National Library of Uganda during my internship training period. The report is also a course unit of BLIS as a requirement to the fulfillment of my Bachelor’s Degree in Library and Information Science. This internship report focuses on the training undertaken by the intern for a period of 8 weeks. It takes into consideration the name, address, mission, vision, culture and operation of the host institution. The report further gives an insight into the intern’s experiences that is duties and responsibilities, supervision levels, training and skills acquired, working relationship among staff and reporting procedure. It further evaluates the field attachment, that is the level of accomplishment of duties and responsibilities, new knowledge and skills gained, most interesting experience, relatedness of the field attachment with programs taught at the University, challenges faced like dust, lack of enough stationery and lastly how they were managed and benefits derived from field attachment. In conclusion the importance of internship and the recommendations to both the University and host institution that is general implementation of the retention schedule and extension of the training period respectively. It will be of my great pleasure this report serving a benchmark of the library growth and improvement of its services.
