dc.description.abstractThe knowledge economy discourse underscores the role of regional universities in socio-economic transformation, however, a number of disablers tend to undermine these efforts unnoticed or at best taken for granted. We explored disablers for community transformation activities in regional universities in northern Uganda. Employing the case study design we drew sixteen participants from academic staffs and top management. We collected data using semistructured interviews from thirteen senior faculty and three top management members and analysed using thematic analysis based on in-vivo coding and pattern coding. Strained university-community relationship, theoretical teaching, and dearth of funding were implicated as the overarching disablers for community transformation. Requisite measures are recommended to surmount the existing disablers
