Abstract

Like many developing countries, Uganda’s engagement in international research collaboration has been on the increase. Evidence from this and other types of research is intended to shape policy and development outcomes for sustainable development. Uganda’s development roadmap is reflected in its National Vision 2040 with its constituent five-year National Development Plans. These Plans are designed and aligned to other global development roadmaps, like the Sustainable Development Goals. Unfortunately, no research has been to track the alignment of IRC to these national and global development objectives. As a result, research is undertaken within a structural vacuum and the evidence it generates hardly influences policy. This research paper investigates the alignment of research projects conducted in Uganda between 2015 and 2020 with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), The National Development Plan III objectives, and NRM government Manifesto programs. By analyzing a comprehensive collection of research projects, the study aims to uncover hidden patterns, relationships, and insights, ultimately shedding light on research trends and providing guidance to policymakers and the research community.
