Recipients of honorary doctorate degrees do not earn the degree through academic achievements, rather with generous and altruistic actions or lifetime accomplishments that benefit a community, nation or humanity in general.
Some schools allow candidates to apply for consideration for the degree, while others require nomination by a third party. Each university that confers honorary degrees establishes its own criteria for acceptance.
Among the awardees also included; Dr Mayur Muljibhai Madhvani, Dr Andrew Kasirye, Dr Joseph N. Biribonwa, Dr Margaret Sekidde, Dr Kellen Kayonga, Dr Apollo Mutungi, Dr Aneez Bandali Jaffer, Dr Elly Twineyo Kamugisha, Dr Kin Kariisa, Dr Merian Kyomugisha Sebunya and Dr Jeff Jeng Liang Lin.
