MAKERERE University Private Sector Forum is planning to set up a semi-independent institute that will teach ecological sustainability in Africa.

The Makerere Africa Institute of Sustainability is meant to produce skilled manpower for preservation of the environment.

"Environmental degradation is a major problem in Africa and the institute wants

to fight it," said Nuha Mwesigwa, the executive director of the forum.
