EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In January 2004, Kyambogo University put in place a Strategic Planning Committee to formulate the strategic direction for the University. The Committee with a membership of 19 persons drawn from all the major sectors of the University was put in place to evolve the Strategic Plan. Guided by set terms of reference, it started work on 30th January, 2004, and held 24 meetings and numerous cconsultations and produced indicative strategic plans by end of year 2004. During 2006/07 academic year the strategic planning committee was reassembled to work on the 2007/08-2011/12 strategic plan for the University

The Strategic Plan 2007/08 – 2011/12 was developed through consultations with the various organs of the University.

The baseline information as at July 2006 has been highlighted on: the University’s academic and administrative programmes; departments; local and international institutional linkages; staffing position; students’ enrolment; physical and space facilities/resources. The teaching staff were 402 while Non-Teaching Staff were 625.

The University enrolment for the Academic Year 2005/6 was 10,566, for the Government and privately sponsored students for Day and Evening students offering Postgraduate, Undergraduate, Diploma and Certificate programmes. The total number of male students was 6,233 while female students were 4,333. Male students on Government sponsorship was 1,872 while female were 689, giving a total of 2561. Male students on Private sponsorship were 4361 while females were 3644, giving a total of 8005.

A total of 5981 students were enrolled for the Distance Education Programmes i.e. Diploma in Education Primary – External (DEPE) and Diploma in Special Needs Education – External (DSNE-E). 3160 were male and 2821 female. There were 55 students at the University with disabilities and special needs, of whom 32 were male and 23 female.

The University has physical and space facilities in the form of building units, equipment, open space and utilities. As at July 2006, physical facilities had been constructed and or renovated for purposes of expanding lecture rooms, laboratories, conference halls, offices and recreational space. All roads were in poor state and needed repair.

The development of the KYU Strategic Plan was guided by its Vision: “To be a centre of academic and professional excellence,” and Mission: “To advance and promote the development of knowledge and skills in science, technology and education; and in such other fields having regard to quality, equity, progress and transformation of society.”

KYAMBOGO UNIVERSITY STRATEGIC INTENT

In meeting the changing demands of competition and challenges arising from the environment Kyambogo University envisions itself in the next 5 years having achieved:

• A high level of research and management through advanced application of Information and Communication Technology.

• Optimum human resource capacity to harness natural resources and seize opportunities from international breakthrough to achieve quality in service delivery.

ii

• High international standards of teaching and learning through expansion of University academic and professional programmes executed by professionally trained staff.

I The plan was predicated upon the baseline situation and analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and the anticipated challenges ahead. The Strategic Planning Committee therefore carried out an analysis of the University’s strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) Analysis and Stakeholder Analysis. These resulted in determining the strategic foci, goals, strategic objectives and strategies for the achievement of the strategic objectives of the University.

Eleven key strategic foci for the University were identified as: Academic and Research Development; Extension and Community Service; Collaborative Linkages; Marketing, Information Management and Customer Care; Organisation and Management; Human Resource Planning, Development and Welfare; Financial Resource Generation and Management; Physical Infrastructure; Consultancy; Health and Environment; and Students’ Welfare.The following broad categories of activities for carrying out the strategies were identified:• Monitoring, vetting of teaching, reviewing and auditing programmes and assessing the staff

and students’ performance• Budgeting, purchasing and installing ICT equipment and resources, purchasing books and

teaching materials• Identifying and recruiting appropriate staff• Organising and conducting sensitisation workshops and seminars in the areas of focus

identified• Collaborating with the internal and external stakeholders• Marketing and publicising the University locally and internationally• Carrying out staff development through support and sponsorship in training• Introducing demand-driven academic programmes, and new commercial ventures for the

University• Liaising with relevant organisations to secure additional resources for the University• Rationalising the resources of the University for efficiency and effectiveness• Carrying out consultations on health and safety issues, developing publicity and

educational materials, and regularly inspecting all facilities• Carrying out consultations, setting up a Students’ welfare Committee and allocating

adequate resources• Developing Postgraduate programs and Research Capacity at the University

The financial revenue projections of the five year period indicated an increase from shs.27.59 billion in 2006/07 to shs.33.4 billion in 2010/11 a rise of 21%, and its sources are Government transfers, local revenue (revenue from Income Generating Units) and external funding (Donors). The Committee costed activities based on the strategies for the year 2007/08 amounting to Shs. 8,909,520,000/=. The projection of the subsequent four years stands at more than 25 Billion Uganda shillings.

Since its inception, the University has received financial support from Government, supplemented by internally generated revenue, and support from various bodies and organisations. The University also received technical and financial support from the Governments of USA, France, Denmark, Cuba and Japan, and the following organisations:

iii

Save the Children in Uganda, UNICEF, the International Exchange College-Cambridge, the Danish International Development Agency, the Norwegian Association of the Disabled and the Uganda Manufacturers’ Association.

University’s ability to achieve its goals;6. to establish the degree of influence the stakeholders had in relation to Kyambogo

University’s ability to achieve its goals.

A stakeholder analysis was useful in identifying stakeholder groups in terms of their likely reaction to a chosen strategic action and their power to affect the implementation of that strategy. It should be noted that there were links between stakeholders and that the results would not remain the same over time. At any one time, stakeholders have three basic options:1. To stay and contribute2. To stay and try to change the system3. To leave.

5.2 Categories of Stakeholders and their interests/expectationsThere are three broad categories of stakeholders:1. Stakeholders internal to the University (Primary stakeholders) 2. Stakeholders immediately external to the University (Secondary stakeholders)3. Other Stakeholders

9.0 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

9.1 Financial Information and Projections

In the next five years the University predicts to go through a successful financial period since it will experience an increase in the revenue. The total revenue is expected to increase from shs.27.59 billion in 2006/07 to shs.33.4 billion in 2010/11 a rise of 21%. Given the strategies to improve revenue collection the University will consolidate expenditure control measures to ensure proper and complete accountability to all the stakeholders.

The major sources of finance for the University are government transfers, local revenue (revenue from Income Generating Units) and external funding (Donors)

Government Funding The indicative planning figures released by Government shows that the University will receive a total of shs.56.12 billion in the year 2006/07 to 2010/11 made up of Wage, Non-Wage and Capital Development Local Revenue.

Local RevenueIt is predicated that local revenue will increase considerably from shs.13.490 to shs.16.4 billion during the strategic planning period. This is mainly due to expected increase in the number of privately sponsored students and introduction of new customer oriented programmes.

External FundingRevenue from external sources is projected to fluctuate between shs. 1.05 billion in 2006/07 and shs.1.3 billion in 2010/11. It is anticipated that by the year 2010/11 all projects funded by donors would have taken off to become self-sustaining.

The Table below shows the projected Government transfers, local revenue and external funding for Kyambogo University for the Plan period.
