Abstract

Busitema is a multi-campus Science and Technology based Public University located in the Eastern region. The academic programs aim to address unemployment, poverty, and inequality in the wider society. They further aligned to the National Development Plan II (NDP II), Vision 2040, NRM Manifesto (2016-2021), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The University has operational Campuses at Arapai, Busitema, Mbale, Nagongera, Namasagali, and Pallisa (see Figure 1), and each campus with its niche. Our campuses are located in rural areas; the location bestows the University a more incredible opportunity to transform rural communities than any other University in Uganda.
