Therefore, this study sought determine required mechanisms design an framework HILs in Uganda (IGHU). A descriptive field was conducted data were analyzed using SmartPLS 2.3.9 software. The causal relationships validity constructs IGHU tested partial least square path modeling. coefficient determination 0.35; indicated both positive negative independent dependent constructs, hypotheses such accountability projects awareness campaigns statistically significant.
