The mediation role of implementation in retirement policy and welfare of retired clergy in Buganda Dioceses of Church of Uganda

Abstract

The cardinal task of this study was to analyse the mediation role of implementation in the Church of Uganda (COU) retirement policy and the welfare of retired clergy in Buganda Dioceses. In spite of COU’s introducing a retirement policy in 2010, with the objective of promoting welfare among the retired clergy, evidence revealed that Church of Uganda retired clergy were writhing under very low conditions of welfare. Finding revealed that implementation approaches of the dioceses mediated only 13% of the relationship between retirement policy and welfare of the retired clergy. In view of this analysis, the study proposed a central approach to retirement policy implementation instead of leaving it to each diocese to figure out is own approach
