To attain synergetic partnership in this day and age not only the way to go but also the best guarantee of fully utilizing varying resources within distinct fields. In synergy, the parties that come together are able to achieve their respective objectives and are together capable of creating an impact far greater than their initial individual input combined.

The Bunyoro Transformation Initiative (BTI) is one such umbrella association bringing together religious, cultural and development oriented organizations in the Bunyoro sub region with a sole aim of spearheading economic, moral and social transformation in Bunyoro Kitara. Registered on 26th September 2013, BTI is a Not-For Profit agency; a company limited by Guarantee and without share capital comprising of Bunyoro Kingdom, The Church of Uganda, The National Fellowship of Born-again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda and The Roman Catholic Church.

The Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara, His Highness Solomon Agutamba Iguru, is the patron of BTI and is spearheading the development for the people of Bunyoro.
To further broaden its sphere of influence and take advantage of the University’s Knowledge Transfer Partnership and Networking cross-cutting factor, BTI has partnered with Makerere University through The Africa Institute for Strategic Animal Resource Services and Development (AFRISA), College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity (CoVAB) to for The Bunyoro Transformation Platform (BTP). BTP will therefore provide a framework through which Makerere University and BTI will implement the skills, production, enterprise development and academic growth in Bunyoro sub-region.

To cement this partnership, the patron of BTI, The Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara, His Highness Solomon Agutamba Iguru will on Thursday 15th May 2014 visit Makerere University and sign a Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of BTI. Although Makerere and BTI are currently the only BTP partners, others will be accepted if their mission and vision is in tandem with the development of Bunyoro.
