(ii) Professional Activities

Professor Sabiiti has got over 36 years of working experience in agricultural/environmental research, University teaching, graduate supervision and outreach including administrative experiences at national, regional and international levels. He has mentored 32 graduate students at Masters and Ph.D. levels,7 being Ph.D. graduates. He has on record over 150 science and technology publications that have been of value to the Government and many public /private and communities. Of the 35 years spent, 31 years have been spent with Universities in Uganda & abroad. He has leadership skills in the University as Head of the Crop Science Department from 1993 – 1994 and as Dean, of the Faculty of Agriculture from 1994 – 2003 and outside the University by formulating policies on various boards/committees for agricultural, environmental and educational development. Prof Sabiiti also chaired Senate Science Committee for three years; a committee for considering all science-based academic programmes that also considered the environmental programmes of Makerere University Institute of Environment and Natural Resources (which builds graduate human capacity and some of these graduates are employed by NEMA)of the University and has served in Senate for over 20 years.

Prof Sabiiti has had a long history of professional association with NEMA since the initial stages of its establishment where he served on various sub-committees in the late 1980s/early 1990s and continued the association even after the establishment of NEMA where he has contributed greatly to policy formulation. He was invited as a key discussant for the NEMA State of Environment Report and now he is a member of the National Sustainable Development Think Tank (NSDTT) as an Eminent Ugandan Scientist to handle- Agriculture and sustainable land management since  2011. He has coordinated successfully an eight-year Community-based action research for improving the livelihoods of pastoral communities in Kazo, now Kiruhura District and ensuring sustainable food security and the environment. He has also been the coordinator of a project of creating wealth from urban garbage since 2000 to date funded by Sida/SAREC Sweden to improve urban agriculture through recycling nutrients trapped in the garbage and this improves the quality of the environment.

Professor Sabiiti has also been involved in consultancies with national and international agencies. The celebrated consultancy for him involved a report titled Realizing the Promise & Potential of African Agriculture: Science & Technology Strategies for Improving Agricultural productivity and food security in Africa by Inter Academy Council – June 2004. The secretary general of the UN commissioned this study & Professor Sabiiti was one of the 18 International experts on the Inter Academy panel that conducted the study in Africa.

Professor Sabiiti has been associated with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries for over 30 years starting with the time he was an undergraduate student in 1973 to date. He has served on several committees/boards of Institutions created by the Ministry such as NARO, NAADS, and Research Institutions and on projects like Agricultural Research and Training Project (ARTP) and the Unified Agricultural Extension project.

He was a pioneer steering committee member for the formulation of the Plan for modernizing Agriculture (PMA) and a pioneer Director on the NAADS Board from 2002 to 2008 in addition, sits on many International Boards/Committees such as dealing with agricultural policies and Higher Education policies and their implementation. Through the NAADS board, a number of policies were formulated to enable farmers to access agricultural advisory services to enable them to eradicate poverty and significant impacts were achieved through the period in a number of Districts in Uganda. All his 35 years of uninterrupted research have focused on increasing food security and poverty reduction for the peoples of Uganda and indeed Africa through appropriate science and technology developments.

He has been involved in holding several radio talk shows /discussions on agricultural issues and technology for development. He is the Vice President of the Uganda National Academy of Sciences recently chartered by the President of the Republic of Uganda. He spearheaded the formation of the Association of Uganda Professional Agriculturalists (ASUPA) brought together all agricultural graduates in the Country to debate issues of agricultural development and he is its founder President. Prof Sabiiti practices professional farming and believes that agriculture is a science and a business and when properly managed pays and was profiled in New Vision of 5th March 2009.

He was recently 2008 elected Vice President of the International Rangelands Congress Continuing Committee during the joint International Grassland Congress and International Rangeland Congress in China. This grouping advocates for proper utilization and management of rangelands in the World for sustainable livestock production to create wealth in the communities.

The professor is highly innovative and has taught and initiated several new undergraduate and postgraduates courses in Pasture Agronomy, Principles of Agronomy, Economic Botany and Crop Physiology, Principles of Ecology, Forest Fire Protection, Range resources management, Seed Science and Technology and Graduate courses in Advanced Grassland Ecology, Advanced Grassland Agronomy and Utilization, Eco-physiology, Seed Science and Technology, Utilisation and conservation of plant genetic resources and Biodiversity Conservation and development.

He has served on several committees of experts in establishing new Universities in Uganda e.g. Gulu, Busoga, and Kabale Universities and in vetting Universities for licenses by the Ministry of Education and Sports and the National Council of Science for Higher Education (NCHE).

He is a pioneer Chairman of Council for Bishop Stuart University where he steered the Council to start a private University in 2003 that is now recognized by the Government. He was appointed to the National task force by the Minister of Education and sports to formulate the National agricultural education strategy that would streamline agricultural education in Uganda and has also been active in promoting science education in Schools. Recently he was appointed a management consultant to operationalise the establishment of the International University of East Africa based in Uganda which he did successfully.

In addition, Professor Sabiiti is a Fellow of TWAS, AAS and UNAS and Vice President of Uganda National Academy of Sciences (UNAS) a body of eminent Scientists in Uganda who promote science and technology for prosperity for all Ugandans.
