Uganda: Development Studies
Program Overview
Work closely with faculty and students from Makerere University to study complex issues of social and economic development in Uganda, a once-turbulent nation with a fast-growing economy. A custom two-week module with a choice of focus on public health, grassroots development, or gender and development provides opportunities to work with organizations such as the Kasangati Health Center, the Uganda Change Agent Association, and the women and gender studies department at Makerere University.
Based in Kampala, Uganda’s thriving capital, the program also offers an in-depth, hands-on practicum with one of the country’s many international or grassroots development agencies to provide a deeper understanding of the practice of development work. Field visits to rural areas explore what lies beyond the rhetoric of the «development industry» as students learn about the diverse strengths and needs of this changing nation.
