Adalbertus Kamanzi
Adalbertus F. Kamanzi was born in Bukoba, Tanzania, September 1970. He holds a BA in Ethics and Development Studies (2000) and an MA in Development Studies (2001), both from the Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi, Uganda. He holds a PhD in Development Studies from Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands (2007). He has worked as a researcher and lecturer at Uganda Martyrs University, the University of Dodoma, and as a senior researcher at the Institute of Rural Development Planning, and as a Visiting and Associate Professor at the Nexus International University. He is currently coordinator of the MA programme in Development Studies at Oshakati Campus, University of Namibia.
His research interests and publications include gender issues, e-technologies for development, and decoloniality. In his research, he uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Much as he is a social anthropologist, he has found himself in good company with economists with whom he has published several works. Over time, he has developed a passion in writing motivational books; he believes that demotivation demotes people’s livelihoods promotion.
