Dharam Ghai was an important contributor to the United Nations Intellectual History Project (UNIHP). The project records the history of ideas about economic and social development cultivated within the UN organization and the impact of these ideas on wider thinking and international action.
In the book I am writing, Dharam Ghai has contributed a long chapter (link below) which mentions at least 30-40 world-renowned scholars that contributed to the teaching and research in economics at Makerere. Practically the Who’s Who of Africanist economists of the 1960s to 1980s – Sir Richard Jolly, Dudley Seers, Reg Greene, John Loxley, Michael Todaro, et al – were stationed there at one time or another. Then if we look at the medical scene – the contributions Ian MacAdam, Burkett, Krishna Somers, Sultan Mawji made! The political leaders Makerere produced!
