Building Institutional Capacity for Ugandan Universities (LMUU)

The purpose of the LMUU project is to build responsive capacities of Ugandan universities for engagement in national development. This capacity building project has a three-phased approach. First, it focuses on developing institutional capacity of an institution responsible for management development in Uganda – the Uganda Management Institute (UMI) as well as enhancing the capacity of experts in curriculum development at the School of Education, Makerere University in theoretical and practical dynamics of university leadership and management. Second, the project partners jointly develop modules for a postgraduate diploma in university leadership and management at Uganda Management Institute to enable the Institute to professionalise serving and prospective university leaders and managers in Uganda and the East African region. Third, the modules of the diploma are pilot-tested by training academic leaders and administrative staff of Makerere University.
