The Stakeholders' Consultative meeting slated for 26th – 27th March 2009 will bring together the University and her development partners. The proposed meeting will present a timely forum for a joint review of the outgoing programs, assess the performance of the ongoing projects, recognize the milestones so far achieved and agree recommendations for Makerere University’s way forward.

The University has just completed the drafting of her 10-year Strategic Plan which sets the parameters for the institution’s new strategic direction over the next decade. The new plan addresses not only the core activities of teaching and learning, research and partnerships, but also tackles key cross-cutting issues such as Quality Assurance, ICT, Human Resource development, Library services and physical infrastructure as well as gender mainstreaming.

Makerere’s current strategic thrust demands that the institution strives to raise standards to compete with the world’s best. The in-coming 10-year Strategic Plan lays out an ambitious and far-reaching road-map that aims to re-position Makerere as a world class institution of higher learning by investing in world-class quality academic leadership, resolving the challenge of inadequate infrastructure, and most importantly, strengthen existing and forge new and viable partnerships to provide the synergies that underpin the achievements of today’s academic world.

The specific objectives of the stakeholder’s consultative meeting are;

To show case the developments at Makerere after the previous stakeholders meeting.
To present Makerere’s new strategic direction as embedded in the new strategic plan 2008/09-2018/19 to the stakeholders.

Expected Outcomes
The anticipated outcomes from the meeting include the following;

Improved potential for the University’s sustainability program.
An improved appreciation of Makerere’s new strategic direction.
Consolidation of relationships with stakeholders

Makerere University has received 700 digital tablets from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), aimed at enhancing statistical research, teaching, and data-driven decision-making across the institution.

The donation was made on June 30, 2025, as part of UBOS’ broader initiative to distribute a total of 3,025 tablets to ten government-funded institutions of higher learning. The handover ceremony was attended by Makerere’s Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Prof. Buyinza Mukadasi and Mr. Simon Kizito, the Deputy University Secretary among other Vice Chancellors and accounting officers.

Dr. Allen Kabagenyi, a UBOS Board Director, who coordinated the distribution of the tablets to the respective 10 Public universities, underscored the significance of inter-institutional collaboration in fostering a data-literate and innovative generation. “This initiative is a testament to the power of partnerships between public institutions. In a country like Uganda, with one of the youngest populations globally, equipping our future leaders with the right tools is critical to achieving both national and global development goals,” she remarked.

The tablets had initially been procured and deployed during the recently concluded National Population and Housing Census. UBOS Executive Director Dr. Chris Mukiza explained that their redistribution marks the beginning of the Bureau’s post-census utilization strategy.

“We acquired 120,000 tablets to conduct the census, and as we committed earlier, we are ensuring that these resources continue to serve the country even after the census,” said Dr. Mukiza. “Our expectation is that these tablets will strengthen data collection, teaching, and research in universities and higher institutions. We want to see a culture where statistics are not only produced but also actively used to influence development outcomes.”

Dr. Mukiza encouraged academic institutions to take full advantage of the extensive data available at UBOS, emphasizing that greater use of statistical resources will translate into more impactful research and policy interventions.
