The Vice Chancellor-Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe addresses stakeholders who took part in the ASTUS meeting held on 24th September 2020 in the Multimedia Studio, CTF1, Makerere University, Kampala Uganda.

This report highlights the eLearning needs assessment that was carried out by RUFORUM Secretariat for the purposes of the proposed RUFORUM-BADEA project. This needs assessment has been carried out with inputs from various stakeholders from across Africa. Stakeholder’s Online Meetings and workshops were held to solicit input, which has formed part of the content of this Assessment report.

The preliminary needs contained in this report have been derived from ICT capacity study (ICT gap analysis) and the principal research instrument used for the study was an online survey questionnaire, which was distributed to all member institutions. The initial survey received a low response (19 out of 105 institutions) but this was supplemented by a website scan across 129 institutions. RUFORUM Secretariat conducted this ICT capacity study in order to document status of ICT development within the RUFORUM member institutions and provide recommendations for knowledge sharing and targeted interventions. The study was designed to explore ICT capacity gaps and assess the needs of RUFORUM network. The report presents analysis of the results of the study and highlights the ICT gaps within the RUFORUM Network. It complements initiatives designed to guide the Secretariat and the institutions on effective planning for ICT investment and use.

Apart from the above mentioned ICT capacity study, other assessment methods employed by RUFORUM were direct observation of focus area, review of relevant studies already performed as well as published materials and expert opinions from RUFORUM webinar 11 titled “African Universities in post COVID-19: Assessing the Opportunities and Challenges of Online Learning” (Synthesis report).
