    The main purpose of this study was to assess female students' perception of access and utilization of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management in HEIs. A qualitative research design was embraced, and it was exploratory while gathering responses from the participating respondents using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and observation from course coordinators from six faculties, students guild leadership, and selected university managers who were purposively selected and regarded to be more knowledgeable with university affairs as far as learners' social welfare was concerned. The study found that many students did not have adequate access to water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management. They also lack adequate menstrual hygiene management education and their rights to sanitation and water facilities for menstruation management in terms of the menstrual cycle, the importance of washing body parts, and the issue of stigma during the menstruation period. The study recommended that the Directorate of Gender at the university should review and work very closely with the Department of Estates and Works to improve the maintenance and provision of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management.

    (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2026) Muweesi, Charles; Nabukalu, Aisha; Kaahwa, Taddeo Yuda; Sserwadda, Lawrence; Kaweesi, Muhamadi; Mugenyi, Kuteesa Disan; Mugagga, Muwagga Anthony
    The study on The Role of Higher Education Institutions' capacity-building programs in Promoting Transnational Education (TNE) in Uganda focuses on both host and home institutions. The research aimed to assess the impact of TNE, investigate challenges affecting its sustainability, and suggest strategies for improvement. A qualitative exploratory design was adopted, wherein data were collected from university administrators, lecturers, and student leaders at Makerere University. Their responses were coded, transcribed, and analysed thematically. Findings revealed that TNE plays a significant role in expanding access to higher education by offering students international learning opportunities, enhancing academic advancement, and providing global exposure, thereby improving education quality. However, challenges such as inadequate funding and regulatory inconsistencies hinder the long-term sustainability of TNE programs. The study concludes that Transnational Education is instrumental and fundamental in transforming the host university's infrastructure and technology, on top of promoting quality education. The study recommends increased government funding for local universities, through grants, subsidies, and policy incentives, to improve their competitiveness in the TNE space. Additionally, the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) should establish clear regulatory frameworks to harmonise TNE policies, ensuring quality education and supporting the sustainability of both host and home institutions in Uganda.
