Reference excerpt

Ziria Tibalwa Waako is a Ugandan electrical engineer and corporate executive, who has serves as the executive director and chief executive officer of the Electricity Regulatory Authority since November 2016. She replaced Benon Mutambi, who was appointed the Permanent Secretary of the Uganda Ministry of Internal Affairs. For the first four months, from November 2016 until March 2017, she served in an acting capacity, until her confirmation on 27 March 2017.

Background and education Waako holds an ordinary diploma in electrical engineering and an advanced diploma in electrical engineering, both obtained from Uganda Polytechnic Kyambogo (today Kyambogo University). She also has a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science, both in Electrical engineering, and both obtained from Makerere University, in Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. In addition, she has a Master of Business Administration in Leadership, awarded by Walden University, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.

Career Waako's career goes back for over 23 years. All of her adult working life has been spent in Uganda's electricity sector. She worked with the now defunct Uganda Electricity Board (UEB). When UEB was dissolved in 2001, she transferred to the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL). In 2012 she was appointed director of technical regulation at the Electricity Regulatory Authority, and served in that capacity until she was promoted to CEO at the regulatory agency. In her role as the director of technical regulation at the ERA, she has been a strong promoter of the use of energy-saving bulbs to save electricity consumption. As a result of her recommendation, the government of Uganda spent US$4.1 million to purchase LED bulbs which were distributed to grid-connected customers, from October 2014 until April 2016. This saved an estimated 30 megawatts (40,000 hp).

Family Waako is married to Professor Paul Waako, a clinical pharmacologist and academic administrator, who since 1 May 2019, has served as the vice chancellor of Busitema University, a public university in the Eastern Region of Uganda. Together, they are parents to five children.

Other considerations Waako is a member of the Uganda Institute of Professional Engineers.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ziria Tibalwa Waako

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ziria Tibalwa Waako claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ziria Tibalwa Waako before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ziria Tibalwa Waako ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ziria Tibalwa Waako

In research: Ziria Tibalwa Waako appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ziria Tibalwa Waako in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ziria Tibalwa Waako is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century Ugandan businesspeople, 21st-century Ugandan businesswomen, 21st-century Ugandan engineers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ziria Tibalwa Waako outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
