implementation of gender responsive policies at Makerere University
Developing the Makerere University Gender Policy: The process of developing the
Gender Policy began in May 2008 when the GMD procured the services of a consultant
to draft the Gender Policy. The Consultant developed a gender policy framework and
data collection instruments which facilitated the consultative process among the
various University stakeholders. A Technical Working Group spearheaded the
consultative process was done in November 2008 and a report was produced. The
Consultant used the report to produce the draft policy which was presented to the
Senate Committee on Gender Mainstreaming in April 2009. Senate discussed and
approved the Gender Policy on 24th June 2009 and forwarded to Council.
Annual Review and Planning Workshop: In February 2009, the Gender

3.1. Project Summary Project amount $299 (Phase 3)
Project leader Consolata Kabonesa
Project Goal Empowered and skilled academic staff and students to transform
the teaching and learning of gender studies and research
3.2. Activity Narrative Report
Objective 1: To Strengthen and Consolidate the use of ICT in Instruction of
gender courses in three teaching units
Progress to date: We trained 23 Academic Staff in ICT Skills, had originally planned for
16 academic staff. We were able to go beyond our expectation. The staff were trained in
uploading and conducting discussion groups using Blackboard twenty three 23 courses
were uploaded. 6 members of staff used Black board � the following courses were the
most active - GAD 3205 Gender and Development Strategies for Change in Africa; GAD
2201 Research Methodology II: Ethnographic Theory and Methods; and Gender Science
and Technology. Six members of staff used discussion/chat boards (group discussions
and individualized discussions); course work; e-mailing
10 MA students were trained in ICT Skills Microsoft Word, excel, creating and
presenting power point documents, e-mailing, data analysis packages for qualitative
and quantitative data sets, accessing resources from the library, etc.
16 academic staff were scheduled to train in personalized /bio data web site design.
They suggested that this activity be postponed to July/August. The activity will be
conducted on
Enabling factors: The power and internet were generally stable � although we still experienced interruptions. Technical support to the courses enabled more staff to
implement.
Training BA students is normally at the beginning of the academic year, we started the
phase 3 in Jan 2009. Training will be conducted Aug/Sept 09 at the beginning of the
first Semester.
Actions needed: Makerere University is implementing MUELE (Makerere University E-
Learning Environment -new learning management system) for the first time.. There is
need for training of academic staff and students in the use of MUELE This activity will be
implemented in collaboration with the E-learning Center.
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|22
Objective 2: To develop and pilot two new online courses for University Wide
Students and Staff
Progress to date: Towards convening meetings on online gender course development:
The following were undertaken: A total of 7meetings/workshops have been held with
different stakeholders; One meeting was held with Education to introduce the course;
two meetings were held with Faculty of Computing and Information Technology ( to
introduce the course and discuss the course outline � their suggestions have been
incorporated in the course outline; and four (4) meetings were held with members of
Women and Gender Studies Department � (Two small meetings to review course
outlines developed by Consolata; two workshops involving all members of staff to
review the draft course outlines. The course outlines have been completed and different
academic staff are developing course content. Course materials have been downloaded
and compiled and being used to develop the course content.
Procuring equipment: This is in progress
Attending International Conferences and visit Institutions of Higher Learning:
Ruth Nsibirano received full support to attend the Behavioral Sciences Conference in
the US (January, 2009); Aramanzani Madanda received partial support to Sweden to
continue writing his dissertation on Gender and ICT (March, 2009); Veronica Nakijoba
received full support to the Human Rights Conference in South Africa (June ,2009) and
Consolata Kabonesa received full support to ICT Conference in Senegal (May 2009) and
partial support to Feminist Economics Conference in USA (June, 2009). Materials
collected from these conferences have been placed in the library for use by staff and
students. Other information has also been shared with the other members of staff
through staff meetings. This vote has increased the number of the departmental
academic staff attending international conferences. As a result the Department is
planning to hold IAFFE conference of 2013 in Uganda and meetings for this conference
have commenced.
Enabling factors
Holding meetings and workshops on weekends and towards the end of the
semester helped in the implementation. Already existing collaboration between
FCIT and DWGS helped in working together on the course outline.
Availability of research assistants to download materials facilitated the process
Awareness of the benefits from engaging in international conferences and
meetings
Action needed: Work closely with the E-learning Centre to develop e- content
Objective 3: To Conduct a follow-up study on gender and ICT in Makerere
University
Progress to date
We have designed a follow up study and research instruments reviewed ready for
piloting: the ICT audit check List; -Staff questionnaire; student questionnaire as well as
the ICT Policy Environment Instrument
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|23
Enabling factors: Existing research instruments from the previous Makerere study and
South African Study contributed to successful drafting of research instruments
Actions needed: Work closely with PHEA project particularly the gender and ICT
research to harmonize the two researches.
Monitoring and evaluation: Activities are on-going.
Connections to other projects
The project is closely linked with a Diploma course in Gender Studies. The draft of the
Diploma course was reviewed together with the introduction to Gender and ICT
courses. Combining the review sessions helped to ensure that ICTs are integrated in the
diploma course as well as keeping the expense of the reviewing the courses low. The
project is also linked to Sida research project through Madanda�s work on ICT and to
EDULINK through provision of ICT equipment to the department thus enhancing access
to ICT resources. The department works closely with the Faculty of Social Sciences,
Gender Mainstreaming Division, Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, The
E-Learning Centre (Institute of Continuing Education), School of Education and DICTS.
Programme support needed (internal)
We will need University support in running the Introduction to Gender Course � the
Course is developed for all University students. We need modalities in place of how,
when and where the students will be able to access the course and course credits/units
the student will get upon completion of the course. We need to work with Faculty Social
Sciences and Management on these modalities.
Activity Time line
Training staff how to use MUELE - August 22, 2009 ( so that they can be able to
implement for the academic year)
Training students how to use MUELE� August/September, 2009 � Although this
vote was not in the budget we will combine it with the staff training vote and the
vote for developing the new courses. � Rationale - The students will not be able
to access the new courses if they are not trained in the use of MUELE. Course

4.0. Infusion of Quality Assurance at Makerere University �
Progress Report as at 31st July 2009
Title Infusion of quality assurance at Makerere University
Project amount $376,600
Project leaders Prof. L. Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza, DVC(AA), project director
Project goal To develop an effective and efficient system to guide quality
assurance policy implementation
4.1. Narrative report on activities
Objective 1: To support the University efforts to achieve its mission by evaluating
its academic programmes
Progress to date
We have completed the harmonisation of the B.Sc. Education degree programme. The
reviewed programme has been considered by the Academic programmes and Library
committee. The recommendations of the committee have been adhered to. The
reviewed curriculum will be implemented this academic year. Previously we focused on
the review of BSc.(FA) & MSc.(FA). But after consultations with the Dean, together with
the Head, Zoology, Agreed that all programmes in Science be reviewed as required by
Senate. A curriculum review workshop was held on 18th to 20th June, 2009 and a total
of 18 programmes were reviewed.
Enabling factors/barriers
Faculty of Science and Department of Science and Technical Education were able
to work with stakeholders from MOE, UNEB, Secondary School Teachers and
B.Sc. Education Alumni to improve the programme.
We plan to follow up with DOSATE to assess the impact of the improved
programme (have an improved) programme in place
Arising out of the Quality Assurance policy and the requirement by the National
Council for Higher Education to accredit all programmes necessitates the review
of programmes every three years or every end of cohort. There is also a
requirement by the University Council to harmonise all programmes. A draft
report has been presented and it indicates that 90% of work was done. The rest
of the work is to be completed by the beginning of the 2009/2010 academic year
Objective 2: To coordinate field attachment for students in Pilot Units
Progress to date
We worked with the Dean, Faculty of Law, Head of Zoology to initiate field attachment.
Field attachment sites and field attachment coordinators were identified. (A list of the
sites where students were posted is available)
Selection of students: 20 students were selected from the Faculty of Law based on merit
(CGPA of 3.6 and above)boned on merit based on CGPA and grading of essay, role of a
lawyer, field, attachment, co-curricular activities.
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|26
In the Zoology Department, all (20) students of BSc. FA were selected and 14 B.Sc.
students who had a record of good performance were selected. (A mini report on FA for
Zoology students is available. We are yet to receive reports from students, academic and
field supervisors
Enabling factor: Field attachment is now a senate requirement for all undergraduate
programmes
Barrier: There is limited number of resources for implementation of the senate Field
Attachment Policy. In addition, identification of Field attachment sites is difficult
because most firms do not see benefit in taking on students for attachment. There is
also competition for FA sites.
Objective 3: To enhance pedagogical skills of lecturers so as to improve teaching
and learning in 2 Faculties
Progress to date
A total of 43 members of staff were trained in Pedagogy from 11th to 14th February.
Focused on newly recruited staff from MTSIFA, IACE, Law, Arts, Social Sciences,
Technology, FEMA, Vet Med. we have also under a different arrangement ,trained 44
members of staff from the College of Health Sciences from 21st to 24th July, 2009
Enabling factor: Pedagogy training is one of the arrangements to induct new members
of staff in order to provide them with skills to deliver knowledge. So the programme is
popular especially among the newly recruited members of staff.
Action on the recommendations of participants: Follow up on performance of
participants to assess the impact of training and mobilize funds to train more staff in
pedagogy.
Objective 4: To trace whether graduates attained the necessary skills and
attitudes that are valued by employers
Progress to date
Are working with consultants who have carried out tracer studies before actual work is
due to begin in September, 2009 or earlier
Challenge: It has taken considerable time to identify consultants who are familiar with
tracer studies and who are ready to work but we are currently in the process of
formalizing details of contract
Objective 5: to evaluate teaching and learning
Progress to date: This activity is currently under halt by Carnegie. However we have
revised the report on evaluation of teaching by students of Faculty of Law and Science
and have developed new tools as recommended by the Task Force on Evaluation of
Teaching & Learning
Challenge: Delays in acquisition of the revised Evaluation report. We are going to
submit revised report and new tools to Carnegie for consideration and then seek
approval from Carnegie to carry out evaluation of teaching and learning by students
next semester.
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|27
4.2. Monitoring and Evaluation Activities
We are using the logic model and the implementation plan to monitor the progress of
the project. We are also applying the National Council for Higher Education and
University Quality Assurance Policy standards to review curricula. Field attachment is
coordinated based on Senate guidelines.
4.3. Connections to other Projects
We are currently engaged in the Afriq�Units Project sponsored by EU through
EDULINK. This is a collaborative project involving the University of Mzumbe, Moi
University, University of Alicante, Spain and Makerere University. The specific objective
of the project is to develop sustainable quality culture and build capacity in internal
quality assurance in East African Universities. We are currently engaged in the piloting
of the EFQM model in the HRD and the Academic Registrar�s Dept. Makerere University
also participated in the IUCEA/DAAD external peer review programme. The Bachelor of
Science in Agriculture degree programme served as the pilot for the external evaluation.
A report is out and we are studying the recommendation therein for purposes of
developing the improvement plan. Also engaged in QA project under the sponsorship of
I@mak and a total 113 persons have been trained in Pedagogy. I@mak has also
contributed towards the review of the B.Sc. Electrical Engineering and B.Sc.
Telecommunication
4.4. Programme Support Needed (Internal)
Quality Assurance is a cross cutting feature in the current University Strategic Plan.
Provision of resources to build a quality culture among students and staff is a key factor
in the implementation of the Quality Assurance policy.

4.6. Financial Narrative Report
Salaries: The proposal document indicates that there would no budget line for the
salary item for the first year of Phase III because it was assumed that Phase III, first year
would overlap with the last year of Phase II. Budget for salary then would have meant
double budgeting for that item. However the situation changed and Phase II ended
before Phase III was approved. Since there is active implementation of activities,
payment has been effected to cover salaries for full time staff and facilitation of staff
who work on the project beyond the normal working hours. Thus the expenditure of
$9,329. There is also pending payment under this item of $8,100 under this item
Consultants: Consultants have been identified to undertake tracer studies. This activity
is scheduled to begin in September 2009. A total of $30,000 is earmarked for this item.
Technical persons were assigned to design a new tool for the evaluation of teaching and
learning. US$3,000 has been committed to this item. The balance of $17,000 will be
used to cover evaluation of teaching and learning.
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|29
Conferences/Meetings: Newly recruited members of staff from Faculties of Arts, Vet.
Medicine, Social Sciences, Science were trained in Pedagogy in February, 2009. A total
of 43 persons were trained. Based on the guidelines provided in the QA Policy and the
requirement by National Council for Higher Education, Council instructed academic
units to review curriculum to check for duplication of courses, content, cost
effectiveness, physical resources etc. Faculty of Science is one of the units that were
required by the National Regulatory Body to review programmes before confirmation of
accreditation, but the Faculty had no funds to carry out the reviews. Project funds were
used to review 18 programmes offered by the Faculty of Science. Project funds were
also used to facilitate the last stage of the review of the B.Sc. Education programme. The
University was experiencing problems with the programme, Faculty of Science, School
of Education and the students were not in agreement with the structure of the
programme and the curriculum load. A number of workshops and meetings were held
and facilitated by the University and I@mak. Project funds were used to facilitate the
workshop that analyzed the materials produced in earlier workshops in order to come
up with a new B.Sc. Educ Programme. These activities were mandatory, thus the
expenditure extended to year II of the budget for this activity. A total of US$42,978 has
been spent on this item
Office expenses: A total of US$675 has been spent on consumables including transport,
airtime etc to facilitate work in the Project Office. US$2,475 has also been committed
for purchase of stationery
Equipment: US$28,500 will be used to top up the payment for the purchase of an
optical scanner machine which will be used to analyse data on evaluation of teaching
and learning. The balance of the funds will be provided under the Afriq�Units Quality
Assurance project sponsored by EDULINK through the European Union.
Scholarship/Attachment: US$20,803 has so far been spent to facilitate field
attachment for 20 students in the Faculty of Law and 44 students of BSc. (Fisheries &
Aquaculture) and BSc.

Objective 1: To formulate and document rules and regulations that will govern the
University�s fundraising practices.
Main Activities
Drafting and developing a Resource Mobilisation Advisory Board
Drafting and developing a University Resource Mobilisation Policy
Drafting and developing the University Resource Mobilisation strategy/plan
Progress to date
The drafting of the Resource Mobilisation Advisory Board was completed and changes
suggested by management were incorporated. The Council was not able to complete the
agenda on their last meeting but have promised us to handle the matter at their next
sitting. (Appendix 1 for the Board)
The Resource Mobilization Policy for the University was completed and management
approved it in March 2009. It awaits the final approval of Council at its next sitting with
the rest of the RMU policy documents. (Appendix 2)
A Resource Mobilization Strategy/Plan based on the approval of the University�s
Strategic Plan is ready. There was a delay to compute the financial implications of the
plan by some units. The RMU plan will be discussed Tuesday 11 August in Management.
But some aspects of the plan are already being implemented. (Appendix 3)
Objective 2: To build capacity of the different levels of the University staff in
fundraising
Activities
Five training workshops are scheduled to be conducted ( 1st week of September
2009) by a consultant to train senior members of University staff.
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|32
Undertake 2 week internship for each of the RMU staff to benchmark best
fundraising practices of institutions with advanced fundraising procedures.
(invitations received from the Kenya Association of Professional Fundraisers)
Short-term training in Grant/Proposal writing for RMU staff at ESAMI in Arusha
(Sept/Nov 2009). Confirmation of registration has been delayed by changes in
the institutions programs.
Progress to date
Delays in approval of the policy and strategy delayed the training. Nevertheless, a local
Consultant has been identified and the procurement process is in place awaiting
approval by the Procurement Department Unit. The trainings are slated for end of
August and early September.
Internships for RMU staff have not yet been concluded. The available institution with
viable internships is located in USA which would contradict the funding regulations. The
unit is identifying other potential training opportunities for the RMU staff.
RMU staff have been invited to attend a CASE conference in Ghana early October 2009.
Objective 3: To develop and implement an Alumni Relations Strategy for the
University
Activities
Drafting of the Alumni Relations Strategy
Creating a network and cultivation program for alumni.
Continuous updating of the alumni database
Regular publication of an alumni magazine.
Engage current students in pre-alumni activities
Progress to date
An Alumni Strategy has been drafted with strategies for implementation earmarked.
Networking Program for alumni. RMU is now linked to a number of professional bodies
whose membership is mainly Makerere Alumni. The Uganda law Society has agreed to
have our registration link on their website. RMU is in partnership with the Secretariat of
this society to enable us use their mailing system to reach to their members who are our
alumni. The Uganda Engineers Association has also agreed to partner with us in
identification of our alumni.
The staff of RMU joined various Rotary Clubs and are under a vetting process for
membership to Kampala Club (membership takes three months probation).
RMU is organising a grand reunion scheduled for 21st or 28th November 2009 in
collaboration with the Convocation. The Chief guest Hon Benjamin Mkapa (former
President of Tanzania) has confirmed his acceptance to be guest of honour.
Through our appointed volunteers, the alumni in Kigali are organising a Dinner- Dance
for Makerere University Alumni in Rwanda. It is scheduled for December 2009.
We have continued to produce and sell alumni memorabilia (T shirts, badges, cufflinks,
pens and key holders). We have partnered with the University Bookshop to act as out
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|33
outlet. Alumni stickers and tyre covers have also been procured for distribution to
alumni. We believe this will give us more publicity.
Alumni database; the database continues to grow at an average of 200 new records per
month. Migration of data didn�t go smoothly as we had hoped. The formant we
originally captured was difficult to wholly migrate. As such, some of the data had to be
re-entered.
The online registration has delayed because it required data from the Academic
Registrar�s department to verify those that fill on line. We are working with AR to have
it in a soft copy. We now have 1970-1980; 2003-2009. We are using graduation
booklets to reconstitute 1981-2002. The process is expected to be completed by end of
August 2009. The new system allows self-registration of alumni, including limited
editing of their records like address etc.
The next issue of the Alumni Magazine has been completed and is in print at the New
Vision Printing and Publishing House. An e-version of the same will be posted on the
website as soon as the print version is delivered.
Objective 4: To Develop and Implement a Prospect Search System for the
University
Activities
Management of a prospect tracking system
Regular contacts/visits to key prospects.
Active participation in social/ cultural associations. (Rotary, Lions, British
Council etc).
Progress to date
A tracking system has been designed to help track prospects. The identified prospects�
information is regularly updated using information from newspapers, magazines etc
and through informal sources like functions attended by the Deputy Director and
Prospect Research Officer. The focus of information gathering is on aspects of
philanthropic potential and interest in the progress of Makerere University.
Cultivation of prospects is ongoing. So far, 13 prospects are at different levels of
prospect management/cultivation. These include the following Mr. Charles Mbire
(Chairman,MTN), Prof. James Mulwana (Chairman, Private Sector Foundation), Prof.
Tumusime-Mutebile (Governor, BOU), Prince Kassim Nakibinge
(ExecutiveDirector,Africa Tropical Bank), Nnabagereka Sylvia Nagginda (Queen of
Buganda), Arkwright Housing Estate, Italian Cooperation, Broadband (u) Ltd., Orange
Uganda Ltd, Stanbic Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, United Bank of Africa and
Kenya Commercial Bank Ltd.
The Prospects Research Officer has joined the Rotary Club for closer personalised
interactions and is a member of the British Council. This membership is aimed at
increasing interaction with prospective individuals and development partners.

Activities) as of 31st July 2009
7.1. Project details Project Amount US 76,251. This money was approved for release at the in the 2nd
week of February 2009
Project Leader(S) Tito O.OKUMU
Project Goal Completion of activities which were pending under phase 2 after
the transfer of the project from DICTS to IACE
Specific deliverables of the No extension of e-learning under IACE were:
(1). Undertake a comprehensive audit of all the e-resources needed to support e-
learning
(2). Analyse the Learning Management Systems (LMS) in order to make selection
on one LMS
(3). Migrate all current e-learning content to the chosen LMS.
(4). Audit training interventions that are currently being provided around the use
of technology in education.
(5). Finalize criteria and methodology for determining the sequence of priorities
for creation of e-learning materials for courses at the University,
(6). Roll out a comprehensive training program for the University.
(7). To set up an approved organizational structure for the implementation of the
e-learning
7.2. Narrative Report of the Activities
Intervention 1: Complete analysis of current Learning Management Systems
(LMS) in order to make a final selection on which LMS will be used to
support e-learning at Makerere University
Progress to date: This analysis was done on the various LMS which were being used by
the University. An Open Source software Moodle LMS was chosen on 20th February
2009. It has been customized for Makerere University usage. The URL is
(http://muele.mak.ac.ug) and the generic name for it is MUELE (Makerere University
ELearning Environment). It has the capacity to host data, podcasts, vodcasts, eportfolios
etc. Makerere University has been able to provide funds for requisition of a Computer
server capable of storing all the data which is likely to be generated by the users.
There was a Training of Trainers (TOT) undertaken in April 2009 by M/S CentreTrain
of South Africa. Forty participants from the academic and the technical aspects
undertook the training lasting a week.
Action needed: Enabling policy from the University required. In addition an official
launch and adequate publicity are required.
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|40
Intervention 2: Based on findings of action item 1, implement a strategy to
establish a stable LMS, migrate all current e-learning content to that LMS,
and provide training on its use to all academics currently involved in e-
learning
Progress to date: Content of the previous LMS was done except for those in TUSK
currently being used at the School of Public Health. Training is currently being
undertaken and so far College Of Health Sciences, Institute of Statistics and Applied
Economics, East African School of Library and Information Sciences, Institute of Adult
and Continuing Education, Faculty of Science, Departments of Women and Gender
Studies and that of Food Science & Technology staff have been trained.
Enabling factors: Migration of content has been undertaken from Blackboard and KEWL
through contracts.
Action needed: Prevailing over the School of Public Health to have a common VLE for the
entire University. Parallel activities going on during the long vacation has stifled the
smooth training programs for most of the Units although there is the will.
Intervention 3: Complete a gender audit of training interventions that have been
or are currently being provided around use of technology in education, in
order to determine gaps and to plan for the construction of a
comprehensive suite of professional development support strategies to
meet the training and support needs identified for e-learning at Makerere
University
Progress to date: Concept Paper was developed but part study had been conducted
under Gender & ICT. This study will be incorporated under PHEA
Enabling factors: Being undertaken under different program
Intervention 4: Develop a methodology for determining the sequence of priorities
for creation of e-learning materials for courses at the University, and apply
this methodology to establish a preliminary list of courses for conversion,
accompanied with timeframes for implementation
Progress to date: This is expected to follow when the gender audit has been done.
Enabling factors: Being undertaken under different programs and has been
incorporated under the Partnership for Higher Education in Africa (PHEA).
There is need to encourage incremental adoption of E-Learning in Makerere
University.
Intervention 5: Undertake an audit of all relevant IT systems (RMACS, ENLIN,
Email and student record-keeping) in order to analyse strengths and
weaknesses, as well as requirements to make all systems more user-
friendly and accessible (with access to be determined by clear policies) and
to function within an integrated ICT architecture
Makerere Carnegie IDP Phase III, Yr I Midterm Progress Report Oct 1st, 08 - Jul 31st, 09 Pg|41
Progress to date: DICTS is still identifying the systems set up. A report is expected to be
incorporated in the ICT Strategic Plan for the next phase 2010 � 2014.
Intervention 6: Review and engender all existing policies in an effort to determine
the extent to which they currently support effective use of educational
technology, and recommend changes as appropriate based on review
Progress to date: There is administrative reforms process going on. However, Gender
Main Streaming Department has been requested to assist in availing
documentation which has been handled. The reform is being funded under SIDA
program and it is ongoing.
Intervention 7: Define ICT needs for outlying Makerere Centres
Progress to date: It is being undertaking by IACE, the party is in the field gathering
data. Preliminary report is expected at the end of August 2009.
Enabling factors: Other units have been brought on board. Research is on going
Intervention 8: To engender the University Curricula
Progress to date: There is a Committee which has been set up. It is a 9 member
committee and exploring ways of doing so.
Enabling factors: The department of Women & Gender Studies under Dr Florence
Muhanguzi is heading it
Intervention 9: To develop tools for quality assurance
Progress to date: There is an 8 member Committee which has been set up.
Enabling factors: The Directorate of Quality Assurance has nominated members to this
Committee
Action needed: The Unit would be benefit more if more input can be sourced through a
workshop towards the end of the month. The three areas which need to be
expanded in scope include; Gender mainstreaming, Quality Assurance &
Pedagogy
7.3. Monitoring and evaluation activities
Most of our activities are on-going and the issue of monitoring and evaluation is in-built.
There is a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer attached to the project from PDD.

Consultants/ technical assistance: There were 3 Learning Management Systems
(LMS) which needed to be synchronized by the end of the academic year into one.
Proponents and opponents to individual LMS made their contributions.
Managing change required strategy, commitment and resources. The budget was
planned in that perspective.
There were several activities involving migrating of courses from the old LMSs to the
new one.
Technical assistance was sought to help those who had been using the adopted LMS.
A Committee to develop tools for quality assurance has been set up and it is
discussing modalities of doing so and setting benchmarks.
Another Committee to develop gender mainstreaming tools in conjunction with the
mandated Department is also in place.
Implication is that the above monies are all committed
Training/conferences/workshops: Training is still being undertaken and there are
several units which have to be trained. This money is committed
Multimedia/Publications: Expenses for production & dissemination of
multimedia publications (e.g., printed material, video, cd-rom, & internet): The
manual has been developed; it is expected to be printed
Travel narrative: This money was instead budgeted for producing material for 1st Year
and for LCD projector.
