Blockchain (BC) technology has been introduced to the Halal food supply chain (HSC) in Malaysia in order to certify the Halal status of food products. This study uses a qualitative research approach to investigate the perspectives of stakeholders involved in HSC on the use of BC in the HSC in Malaysia, using semi-structured, one-to-one interviews. Five in-depth interviews revealed a range of interrelated themes, including the level of awareness of BC technology among participants, their vivid articulations of the perceived advantages and disadvantages of this transformative technology within the unique context of Halal supply chains in Malaysia and the challenges that exert their impact on Blockchain's course within this ecosystem, in addition to the perceived success factors, revealing that there is lack of awareness on Blockchain technology among stakeholders, excluding technology providers. Identified challenges span technological, legal, inter-organizational, security, safety, and financial domains. Conversely, success factors encompass heightened awareness, trust-building, financial backing, and regulatory alignment.

This paper provides an analysis of the models of public administration in government effectiveness in Uganda. The analysis was based on three selected models: The Classical Public Administration model, New Public Management model, and Post-modern model and highlights the lessons learnt in embracing these models. Literatures was drawn from secondary sources that included focus books, Journals, and other internet materials. The paper relied on experts who were public management practioners to qualitatively interpret and analyse salient remarkable issues during adaptation of these approaches in Uganda’s public service regimes. Findings were that each approach had for some time dominated public management in Uganda but with differing success, challenges and lessons learnt. The paper concludes that more concerted efforts should be geared towards theorizing old, contemporary and new terms in public administration so as to gain an in-depth understanding of the causes and consequences of any given subject matter in the field, as well as building new field of enquiries, and help clarifying and directing inquiry into Uganda’s public policy making, governance and ethics among other subjects within public administration.
