MAKERERE UNIVERSITY Institutional Development Programme Phase II: 2005/06 – 2011/12 Support by the Government of the Royal Kingdom of Norway SUMMATIVE REPORT Submitted to: The Government of Norway, through the Norwegian Embassy in Kampala Prepared By: Planning and Development Department Makerere University P.O. Box 7062, Kampala, Uganda Phone: 256-0414-542470 Email: [email protected] SEPTEMBER, 2012 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The University once again wishes to express her gratitude to the Government and People of the Royal Kingdom of Norway for the continued support to the Institutional Development of Makerere University. Special tribute is extended to the Government of Uganda for not only the counterpart funding in form of Taxes but also the enabling and conducive environment that has permitted the smooth implementation of programme activities over the 6-year period (2005/06 – 2011/12). The support of the governing University Council, the Senate and the relevant sub-committees is highly appreciated. The pivotal role played by the Heads/Deans/Directors and Principals of the supported/implementing units as coordinators at the various levels and the overall membership of the implementation oversight/steering committee with her sub- committees cannot be overlooked as it greatly contributed to the realization of the programme goal and objectives. Special appreciation is also extended to the honourable Ambassadors who over the programme period have had to embrace the initiatives. Further gratitude goes to the entire staff at the Embassy of the Royal Kingdom of Norway in Kampala, the Aid Liaison Department in the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED) whose support was very vital to the successful implementation of the Programme. We build for the Future Professor John Ddumba Ssentamu Vice Chancellor 2 Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
