A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

CIT focuses on working with all stakeholders such as the government, the industry, local communities and

other academic institutions in provision of ICT related services. 2009 was a year we celebrated the power

of these ‘partnerships’. Due to the local & international collaborations, CIT made a huge leap in the varied

fields of capacity building, infrastructure developments & acquisitions, internship, mentorship, and a whole

lot more.

In this report therefore, we are excited to share with you our humble accomplishments in such a diverse,

exciting environment.

In addition to providing academic services, the faculty was involved in several initiatives to reach out to the

communities and support government in integrating ICT in provision of government services i.e. e-

government, e-health, e-education, e-business among others. We graduated 1082 students on degree and

diploma programmes and over 4500 on short courses. These graduates provide ICT skilled human

resource in the various sectors of the economy. Students and staff did projects that targeted solving

society needs. Besides, CIT provided hands-on ICT training to personnel from the different Government

Departments such as Mulago Hospital. To crown it all, CIT opened the state of the art ‘Block B’ building

valued at 20 million USD.

Nonetheless, the growth of the economy and businesses is dependent on the products of human capital,

research and innovations that come out of institutions like Makerere University. Governments are therefore

strongly encouraged to support educational institutions and other stakeholders in using ICTs for social

economic development. There should be deliberate efforts to provide sufficient funding to higher

institutions of learning in this country.

Overall, we owe our achievements to the Parents, Guardians, Development Partners, Alumni, Students,

Makerere University student community in general, University Management, and the Makerere University

Senate and Council for the tremendous support and guidance they have extended to us in 2009. We are

certain that without each one of them, what we are today would still be a dream!

We pledge our commitment to continuously improve as well as serve much better.

As we build for the Future.

Prof. V. Baryamureeba

INTRODUCTION

CIT perceived to be the fastest growing faculty is one the 22 academic units at Makerere University. It

started with a humble beginning as an Institute of Computer Science in 1985 and in 2004; it was upgraded

to a fully fledged faculty with four academic departments of Computer Science, Information Technology,

Information Systems, and Networks.

In a bid to facilitate a first class student environment, the faculty also has several service units that focus

on the following: ICT Support Services; Software Development and Innovations; Finance; Registration &

day today concerns of students; Research; Professional Skills Development, Human Resource;

International/Corporate/Public Relations; and Quality Assurance.

The established academic staff strength of the Faculty stands at 250 teaching staff including 30 visiting

and local professors. The Faculty is also supported by over 63 non-academic staff. As of December 2009,

CIT had 5085 students at undergraduate and 311 students at graduate level of which 57 students are

undertaking PhD training. In addition, the faculty trains over 4500 students per year in short courses.

CIT has state of the art teaching and research facilities which include lecture theatres, teaching

laboratories, specialized laboratories and a library housed in two giant building blocks, A and B. These two

buildings can accommodate up to 10,000 students in one sitting.

Our Value Statement: CIT is an innovative and industry-oriented Faculty, pursuing excellence in teaching,

learning, cutting edge value-added research and consultancy, community outreach, as well as providing a

vibrant student life.

Our Vision Statement: To be a leader in Computing and ICT training, research and services

internationally.

Our Mission statement: To provide first class teaching, research and services in computing and ICT

responsive to national and international needs.

The CIT Strategic Plan for the next ten (10) years [2007/2016] has specific goals to be achieved over this

period. The strategic plan takes consideration of the prevailing resources and activities that will support

achievement of the faculty priorities.

The strategic plan takes in stride the faculty’s commitment to its mandates of teaching and learning,

research and innovation and outreach. It also embraces the commitment to meet other cross cutting

strategic issues relating to the key infrastructural support to the delivery of services in the University.

The key strategic issues of CIT include: Teaching and learning, Research and innovations, Outreach,

Organization and management, Quality assurance, Human resource development, Gender mainstreaming,

Staff and student support services, Physical infrastructure and planning, and Resource mobilization,

TEACHING & LEARNING

2.1 Academic Programmes

The Faculty has 18 academic programmes ranging from PhD, Masters, Postgraduate Diplomas, Bachelors,

undergraduate diploma to certificates in computing and ICT related fields.

a. CIT Revised its Academic Programmes

Revision of programmes in computing disciplines is very crucial due to the dynamic nature of ICT. The

revision of CIT programmes was motivated by the need to remain relevant to the ICT market, the need for

the programmes to response to local challenges, and as a response to Makerere university policy of

revising programmes in every three years. The revision was done in consultation with all stakeholders so

as to ensure balanced curricula that are at par with the training needs.

b. CIT Established Two New Undergraduate Programmes

The Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering (B.Sc. SE) and Bachelor in Information Systems (BIS)

were approved by Makerere University Senate and Council. The two new programmes admitted their

pioneer students in September 2009 after being accredited by the National Council for Higher Education

(NCHE).

2.2 Improved Delivery Mode in Teaching

On September 11, 2009, CIT launched tablet-based teaching- use of tablet computers instead of laptops in

lecturer rooms. With wireless capabilities, the lecturer is enabled to wander around the class and interact

with students at every corner of the class. This is contrary to the traditional delivery mode of using a static

projector with only one display, and white boards and where practical course works are based on

simulation work only. This is part of Makerere university strategic plan to be a student centred learning

institution where students are expected to: have a better learning experience; have an in-depth

understanding of theories and practices; and get exposed to hands-on skills on mobile computing.

2.3 Student Numbers per Programme

As of December 2009, CIT had a total of 5085 students (4774 undergraduate and 311 postgraduate

students including 57 PhD students) distributed in four academic departments. There are other students

undertaking online and short courses. In the table below, the student numbers are summarized per

OUTREACH PROGRAMMES

5.1 The Role of CIT in Automation and Computerization

Uganda like many other countries is in the process of transformation to a knowledge society. Education is

critical to national development and economic empowerment. CIT is already playing a pivotal role through

provision of educated and skilled workforce, generation of cutting edge value-added research and

consultancy, and engaging in ICT related community outreach programs. These outreach programs target

supporting government in provision of its services to the citizens in the areas of education, health,

agriculture, governance, and business, among others. Following are some of CIT’s contribution to this

noble cause in 2009;

ICT in Education: Education for all—‘Bonna Basome’. A 21st Century University must be flexible in a

sense that it caters for those who want to study during the day and at night, those who want to study from

home or office or those who want to come to campus building. It should also be flexible in the sense that

studying can take place independent of time and space. CIT has excelled in this area. CIT provides e-

learning education through a Tele-education mode under the Pan-African e-Network Project.

A 21st Century University must also have provisions to cater for the poor and the peasants. CIT operates a

24/7 model allowing access to the facilities both in the day and in the night. Students who study during

off peak hours like midnight to 06.00am in morning pay half price. The Bonna Basome classes therefore

have a strong linkage to Bonna Bagaggawale since education improves the quality of life. It is envisaged

that once fully installed, CIT will exploit the national backbone ICT infrastructure to provide ‘bonna basome’

(distance education) through setting up ICT education centers in different regions of the country.

CIT has set up IT Academies in 15 secondary and primary schools to cater for the training needs of

Universal Primary Education and Universal Secondary Education. CIT also provides expertise to NEPAD E-

Schools and other learning institutions to enable them integrate ICT in the subject matter delivered. This is

done through the Microsoft initiative that is supporting the Ministry of Education and Sports.

ICT in Education: Tracking Pupil - Teacher Attendance System. CIT in collaboration with the Ministry

of Education implemented an education management system in the districts of Mbale and Kiboga. Using

the OpenXData tool data is captured using mobile devices and is sent to the District Education Offices

(DEO) using sms. DEOs in turn are able to see real time records for UPE schools in the districts. This

enables targeted inspection based on received information, better planning for schools to address the

problems they have. The system also sends information to School management committees and local

leaders on the performance of schools in comparison with others for appropriate action. This tool will be

extended to monitor class room construction. This study will be scaled up over the whole country once the

pilot is done.

ICT in Health: Malaria Control Program in Rwanda. CIT has developed a healthy information system for

the Government of Rwanda to track malaria prevalence in the country. The system receives weekly

statistics on prevalence of Malaria in all centers in the whole country using sms technology. If the malaria

cases are high an alert message is sent to the district health officer for appropriate action. Information

14

collected is analyzed and used for planning by the National Malaria Control Program Office. The system

allows for automatic capturing of the text messages in the database and makes it scalable to the entire

country.

ICT in Health: ICT4Manpower Project. CIT in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Ministry of

ICT is implementing a health systems project whose goal is to improve the information flow from the

community to the district and the regional levels of the health care system for improved healthcare

delivery in Uganda using information and communication technologies (ICTs).

ICT in Agriculture: NAADS. In collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries

(MAAIF), and Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), CIT is implementing a project on Improving

Effectiveness of Agriculture Extension Service Delivery through Community Empowerment using ICTs. The

overall objective of the project is to improve the information flow between the community, district and

national level coordination Centers for improved agricultural extension service delivery in Uganda.

ICT in Agriculture: Empowering Farmers to use ICTs. In collaboration with Radboud University

Nijmegen, and the local NGO Rwenzori Information Centers Network (RICNET), CIT is empowering

Information Centers in the Rwenzori Region to provide specific information like organic farming

techniques, soil improvement, agro-forestry, seed security issues and post harvest management.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs - CIT built a web portal for the Ministry and all the Foreign Missions for

Uganda abroad. This is to enable the Government of Uganda to converge its information dissemination

role to a single point so as to improve the visibility of the Government of Uganda as well as facilitate the e-

government initiatives currently being championed the Government.

Uganda Police Force- CIT completed the development of the Uganda Police Human Resource

Management Information System. The system is aimed at capturing all the data of the force, support the

Human Resource Functions and generates the necessary reports for management.

Business Incubation: National Software Incubation Centre. Uganda as a country and Africa as a

continent are in a phase of automation. This has created a big market for custom made software

products/innovations. In a bid to unlock the potential of young computing graduates, CIT set up a National

Software Incubation Centre initially supported by Rockefeller Foundation to develop software solutions

relevant to the needs of society. Mentorship of the incubatees is done by staff in the Department of

Innovations and Software Development and from the private sector. The centre addresses the current

shortage of talented software developers in Uganda and in the region as it graduates 100 developers every

six months. Graduates from the centre have opportunities to be job creators instead of job seekers. From

the first 100 graduates, 12 companies have been set-up. These need venture capital to grow in the likes of

Microsoft and Google.

ICT and Gender. CIT is paying attention to ICT and the issue of gender disparity in its access and usage.

To highlight a few: “awarding Scholarships to female Academic Staff; Fees waiver on short courses; and

training females in basic and advanced End –User ICT Skills. In 2009 alone, CIT has trained 1000 members

of Makerere University Staff majority of whom were women; 150 women teachers and women

entrepreneurs from around Kampala; and 400 women members of staff from Mulago Hospital.

HUMAN RESOURCES

5.1. Staff

a) CIT Management

b) CIT Revised Staff Establishment

CIT has been in existence since 2004. Over this period, it has experienced a rapid growth in student

numbers, academic programmes, physical space and computational facilities. However, this growth and

expansion had not been matched with staffing levels. It is in this regard that CIT proposed to expand its

establishment to meet the acceptable standards in terms of staffing needs, staff-student ratios, and

generally to create a more friendly work environment for productivity and enhanced delivery of services to

all stakeholders.

CIT has a total of 250 teaching staff including 30 visiting and local professors. This number includes full

time staff, part time staff and staff employed under one year renewable contracts. These numbers include

the 41 PhD students training in different institutions at local institutions and other institutions outside

Uganda. The Unit is also supported by 32 Administrative Staff and 31 support staff.

5.2 Staff Training & Development

CIT is a dynamic faculty and thus requires having its staff trained in the relevant fields and levels in order

to have the right expertise on the ground. The Faculty has thus promoted a healthy training culture by

investing a lot of resources in terms of money and time to have this matter appropriately addressed at

both local and international levels. For instance: 41 staff members are undergoing PhD training in different

Universities; and 17 are undergoing either Bachelor & Masters training in different universities in and

outside Uganda.

In 2007, 18 of the 20 members of staff awarded PhD scholarships to study

at Makerere University had a 2 months research exposure visit to NL

[October – December ‘07].

In 2008, only 12 of the 20 students have had their research visits to

Institutions in NL. 6 students did not take their research visits because they

did not meet the minimum requirements (did not show commendable

progress) and other 2 undertook research visits in other Institutions.

In 2009 10 students have had research visits of 2- 6 months at all the three

institutions in NL.

UG PhD students not based at Makerere (7) received Internet connectivity

In the period 26th October – 25th November 2009 KYU carried out an ICT

sensitization campaign in 5 districts of Uganda. Also distributed Department

o computer science brochures to all schools visited.

By 2011 there will

be a likely

improvement in

male: female staff

ratio at the public

universities as a

result of the good

MAK:

• Dr. Agnes Rwashana Semwanga, a female staff at CIT commpleted her

PhD and graduated in January 2009. She became the first female and

first student to graduate with a PhD in Computer Science from Mak and

also the first PhD student to graduate from the Faculty of Computing

and IT. She is now the Head of Department for Information Systems at

CIT.

14

gender policies and

affirmative action.

• Dr. Josephine Nabukenya was awarded Doctor of Plhilosophy by

Radboud University Nijmegen on 3rd March 2009. She is the Head of

Department of Information Technology at CIT.

• Therefore 50% of the academic departments in Faculty of Computing

and IT, are headed by females by end of March 2009.

• Out of 5 service departments in CIT, 3 are headed by females.

MUST:

The Director Institute of Computer Science at MUST is a female -Ms.

Theodora Mwebesa Twongirwe.

By 2011, the

number of female

students on ICT/

Science and

Technology

programmes is likely

to have improved as

a result of the

gender awareness

and promotion

programs targeting

primary and

secondary school

leavers (prospective

University students).

Efforts have been directed towards attracting quality students to ICT

programmes through running News paper supplements and publishing ICT

Awareness Brochures. Radio talk shows have also been held.

For 2008, open days were held as follows:

MAK: held a 2 day open day event on 8th and 9th August 2008.

2009:

• Makerere- 21st and 22nd August 2009

• Gulu- 29th October 2009

• MUST- 27th November 2009

By 2011 the ICT

departments/

institutes/faculties

will have positively

influenced gender

policy at national

level

ICT Staff at Universities are actively participating in gender policy dialogues

at national level. For a policy to be passed it must have a gender

component integrated in its operations.

7 To Strengthen

Relations and

Collaboration

Among the

Universities,

ICT Industry

and the

Government.

By 2011 at least

80% of the ICT

advisors on

Government

projects will be from

the Universities.

In 2007, the first Consultative workshop on ICT Training and Research

Partnerships in Uganda was held on 18th Dec 2007 at Serena hotel,

Kampala.

For 2008, the 2nd Joint research dissemination and consultative workshop

was held on 5th December 2008 at Grand Imperial Hotel, Kampala.

25 projects were exhibited at the workshop by students from Makerere

University, Kyambogo University, Gulu University and Mbarara University of

Science and Technology.

2009: Makerere and Kyambogo held a Consultative breakfast meeting on

20th November 2009.

MUST held a consultative workshop on 8th July 2009

Gulu held a consultative workshop on 8th December 2009

CIT is already advising government, on ICT related matters. The Faculty has

been invited and consulted on several occasions on the same. E.g. Ag. Vice

Chancellor, Makerere University/Dean CIT, Prof. Baryamureeba is a member

of The Presidential Investors’ Roundtable Technical Working Group on

15

Business Process Outsourcing.

As a matter of fact CIT is represented at every single ICT and related

meetings held in the country. Attendance highlights follow:

• Regional workshop on ICT POLICY and Regulatory Harmonization

organized by EAC (East African Community) Secretariat.

• Call for Views on Proposed National Information Technology Authority-

Uganda (NITA –U) Bill Meeting

• ICT/E- Government Needs Assessment Program from Ministry of ICT

• Presentation of the national backbone infrastructure and E-Government

infrastructure management model for Uganda

• Brainstorming meeting on placing Uganda strategically as an ICT hub

from a broadband infrastructure perspective

CIT has also been represented at several international meetings such as:

Few highlights in 2009

• NUFU Programme Conference, Malawi, February 2009

• 36th Annual Global Health Council Conference on New Technologies +

Proven Strategies= Healthy Communities, Washington DC, USA.

• 1st Euro-Africa Cooperation Forum on ICT Research; Brussels, Belgium,

March 2009.

The other public Universities are also consulted on several issues for which they

provide advice. These Universities are becoming points of reference in their

respective locations and they provide expertise especially in ICT related matters.

By 2011 more than

50% of the ICT

consultancies will be

undertaken by local

experts either from

the Universities or

the private sector

CIT is already undertaking consultancy projects and providing expertise to

other universities.

The capacity built at Makerere University is being spread to other

Universities.

By 2011 there will

be at least 10

spinoff companies

from ICT incubation

centres based at

Universities

Different collaborations projects have been undertaken by students from

CIT. These projects will later be taken up by the companies and revenue

sharing models will be agreed upon between the students and the

companies.

National Software Incubation centre was set up at CIT and as a result spin

off companies by graduates have been set up.

In June 2009, 100 fresh graduates were recruited at the Centre and have

been trained up to December 2009 . More 100 will be recruited in January

2010 and also trained for 6 months. As these students graduate more spin

off companies will be created.

By 2011 value

addition on research

outputs would have

tremendously

improved.

A Joint Digital Laboratory has been set up at CIT with support from Nuffic,

Google, Nokia, and HP. Prospects of more partners getting on board are

very high as several proposals have been received.

2009: Dell has gotten on board to set up a dell academy.

By 2011 there will

be strengthened

cooperation and

collaboration

Joint degree programmes have started. Bachelor of Science in Computer

Engineering started at Busitema University in August 2007 and at MUST in

August 2008. Other two: Bachelor of Information Systems and Bachelor of

Science in Software Engineering are being considered at Kyambogo and

16

between ICT

academic

institutions in The

Netherlands and in

Uganda and

between the four

public universities in

Uganda.

Gulu Universities respectively. These programmes will be run jointly among

the Universities. Bachelor of Information Systems and BSc in Software

Engineering are starting at Makerere University in August 2009/2010. BSc.

Computer Engineering will commence at Makerere University in 2010/2011.

In May 2009, a memorandum of cooperation was signed between MUST and

Makerere University, in respect of Teaching and Research Collaboration.

The two institutions agreed to collaborate in the provision of the academic

programmes based in the Institute of Computer Science at MUST and

Faculty of Computing and Informatics Technology at Makerere University.

It is anticipated that this MoU will be replicated by other Universities.

By 2011

commendable

funding from the

private sector to the

Universities’

programs will be in

place.

Joint projects with the private sector are already in place where the private

sector is providing support both monetary terms and in kind.

More proposals have been received where there will be cost-sharing

between Universities and private sector companies.

By 2011

collaborative

research projects

funded by the

private sector will be

in place.

Collaborative research projects funded by the private sector are already in

place at Makerere University e.g. Using State-of-the-art Wireless and Mobile

Technologies to Deliver Mobile Computing Courses” project funded by HP,

the “Mobile Computing, Networking and Application software development

project” supported by Google, "the Machine Learning Techniques for

Prediction of Cholera Outbreaks" supported by IBM among others.

MUST Institute of Computer Science wrote a joint proposal with the Medical

School on Community Outreach and MTN provided 15,000 USD for the

same.

By 2011 more ICT

jobs will be in place.

Due to a conducive investment climate the number of telecommunication

companies has gone up and more are getting on board. Those already

operating include UTL, MTN, Zain, and Warid. Orange will be launched soon.

These will increase the employability index in the ICT sector in Uganda.

CIT is in the process of setting up a Call Center to attract outsourcing work

from within and outside Uganda. It is estimated that the Call Centre will

employ at least 4,000 employees once fully operational.

Spin off companies started by graduates of the National Software

Incubation Centre will create more jobs.

By 2011 delivery of

government services

will have improved

as a result of the

collaboration among

the government and

the Universities and

the private sector.

CIT signed an MoU with the Uganda Police Force to enable the Force

improve its service delivery.

208 Police officers and CIT trained them in Office Applications using the

CCA course content from 21st July -1st August 2008.

From 15th – 26th September 2008 CIT provided training in basic ICT skills to

120 Uganda Peoples Defense Forces Army officers.
