摘要：The CLGF Research Colloquium, generously hosted by the Uganda Management Institute in Kamapala in May 2013, produced many outstanding papers, several of which are published in this issue. Our thanks to many of the staff and students of UMI, and to Lucy Slack and Gareth Wall from CLGF, who made the colloquium such a success.
