THE Uganda Management Institute (UMI) yesterday celebrated 40 years in existence. The Institute is a national centre for training, research and consultancy in management and administration.
The Vice-President, Prof. Gilbert Bukenya, said: “The Government still relies on UMI’s research to manage the public service more effectively.â€
The message was contained in a speech read by the state minister for public service, Seezi Mbaguta.
She added that Bukenya appreciated the contribution the institute had offered in the development of the public service.
Bukenya also paid tribute to the institute’s former five directors, for steering UMI through the turbulent years of the 1970s and 80s.
The institute, located on the Kampala-Jinja road, began training in 1969 under the name of the Uganda Institute of Public Administration.
The institute was created by the Government to train public officers in running government business.
In the early 1970s, the institute got affiliated to Makerere University and offered postgraduate diplomas in public administration, business management and human resource management.
Whereas the Institute of Public Administration operated as a department of the public service ministry, this status changed with the enactment of the Uganda Management Institute Statute of 1992.
The higher education minister, Mwesigwa Rukutana, the institute’s board chairman, Musisi Kiwanuka and chancellor Florence Mugasha attended.
