The group operates as a not-for- profit network with a vision, mission and objectives as stipulated below
Vision
NEMRA envisages a network of academic researchers advancing a culture of intellectually generated evidence-based policy and practice in Uganda and beyond.
Mission
To demystify the issues around doing academic research, develop insights across a wide array of disciplines, share ideas and develop networks in the process of providing solutions to societal problems through research.
The objectives
1. To provide a platform for an interuniversity research related collaboration and networking among academic researchers, postgraduate students and practitioners.
2. To offer complementary services to schools of postgraduate studies in the area of research capacity building thereby increasing completion rates of postgraduate students, enhance the research culture among academics and build an intellectual group of scholars.
3. To produce relevant, high quality academic research outputs for policy and decision making at every level of society on the continent.
4. To disseminate and enhance availability of academic research outputs to users.
The network’s initial research project is a Predictive study on the current Uganda- China relationship. It is currently running by a 6-member team of academics and students from member institutions.
Activities of the network include conducting monthly research workshops covering a wide array of topics on research, funding, publication and engagement.
