Research Summary and Interests:
Frank has led and been part of research engagements focusing on; Sustainable energy transitions, inclusive urbanization, climate justice, vulnerability analysis and adaptation, resilience building among smallholder farmers, land Use Cover/change, pedological factors underpinning landslide occurrence, livelihood systems and land degradation, participatory integrated planning for degraded landscape restoration, agricultural policy, soil and water conservation, development-induced displacement within the oil and gas sector, wetland conservation and Economic development, farming and health in cities, urban and peri-urban agriculture.

Frank Mugagga is an Associate Professor of Environmental Geography and the former Head of the Department of Geography, Geoinformatics and Climatic Sciences, Makerere University. His research career and professional experience spans over twenty years working on a range of issues including waste management, land use, natural resources management, rural development, climate change and disaster risk management in diverse landscapes and more recently on governance, livelihoods and environmental conservation in Uganda’s oil-rich Albertine Graben. Driven by the desire to make a contribution to community development through research, Frank has over the years conducted community outreach programmes and numerous Participatory Action Oriented trainings aimed at increasing community awareness and action among Natural resource dependent communities.

Frank’s publications focus on a range of Environmental Geography topics including; development-induced displacement within the oil and gas sector, socio-economic implications of oil and gas exploration, Climate change, variability and adaptation, farming and health in cities, urban and peri urban agriculture, land use change, wetland conservation and Economic development, pedology and landslide occurrence; livelihood systems and land degradation; horticultural production systems; vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in both rural and urban areas.

Frank has supervised and continues to mentor a horde of local and international Masters, PhD students and Postdoctoral Students from across the world. He is a member to various international and regional professional networks and served as the President of the Uganda Geographical Association from 2019 to 2023.
