FOREWORD

The desire of any organization is to have the capacity to achieve its goals, to optimumly utilize its resources, reduce costs, establish itself as a sound organization, survive in a changing environment and have an impact on the prosperity of society.

Efficient management and administration of organizations leads to better economic and social production which helps in turn to increase the welfare of the people.

You are welcome to UMI to be propelled to excel.

MASTERS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MPA)

( WEEKEND)

INTRODUCTION:This programme is designed to enhance the skills of accomplished senior officials, who hold key positions within their organizations and those aspiring to have a specialized career in public administration. The curriculum provides a broad range of analytical and conceptual skills in critical areas needed for managing in a changing global environment. The programme curriculum uniquely gives skills in managing the critical human, financial and material resources of public sector organizations. The Master in Public Administration degree shall consist of three semesters of coursework along with the completion of a dissertation or a seminal paper publishable in an international journal.

The taught component is made up of 13 core courses and any 2 specializations obtained from a range of choices in different sectors of the public arena. In addition to the taught curriculum, students complete a dissertation or a seminar paper relating to their specific selected field of specialization but using skills and knowledge obtained from taught courses. The dissertation or seminal paper is written up as part of the second year of the degreeprogramme and specific guidelines will be provided to the students.

PROGRAMME GOAL:The goal of the programme will be to train and develop participants with a thorough knowledge of the legal, ethical, institutional, economic, technological and political environments of public administration in a changing environment. Participants, who undertake this programme will be equipped with theoretical and practical skills in administrative functions of local and central governmental agencies and will gain special expertise in the theoretical foundations of public Administration, effective public service management, administrative law and ethics, public policy making, strategic planning, advanced management techniques, program design, monitoring and implementation and results-based leadership that emphasize efficiency and effectiveness .

Specifically, the Master of Public Administration aims at producing a skilled administrator who:

@Demonstrates awareness and knowledge of the political context of working in the public service,

@Understands and appreciates the theoretical foundations of public administration,

@Displays practical knowledge of all facets of public sector work,

@Exhibits technical competence, and conducts oneself ethically, recognizing the broad responsibility toward serving the public interest in contrast to a more narrowly defined self-interest.

JUSTIFICATION:Improving the performance of Uganda’s public service for efficient and effective service delivery continues to be a priority agenda for the government. Since the 1980s various policy initiatives have been undertaken by government, including decentralization (services and authority), creation of oversight institutions, public sector reform programme, etc. At the ministerial and departmental levels, a number of performance measures have been put in place to improve service delivery. However, the efficiency and effectiveness of these interventions have been seriously questioned from a number of fronts. Among the culprit factors include the skills and competencies of the human resources who




manage different public service delivery systems. These challenges have been elaborately presented in the recently formulated National Development Plan (2010).

The MPA degree is designed to provide the participants with an understanding and knowledge of government management in an environment of global dynamics and demands of accountability from a number of internal and external stakeholders. As a professional program, emphasis is placed upon learning those administrative concepts, processes, and techniques that are associated with managing the public’s business in an efficient and effective manner putting the citizens who benefit from government services at the forefront. Designed with the learner’s expectations at the forefront, the programme is essential to prepare public administration students who blend the theoretical concepts with practical dimensions of administration and encourages a broadened academic and professional perspective.

MASTERS IN INSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP

(WEEKEND)

INTRODUCTIONIn today’s changing landscape of service delivery, it is pertinent that managers at all levels become sophisticated to steer the Knowledge economy and face the internationalization challenges that are taking shape in the effective and efficient delivery of goods, services and works. Managers in public, private and the NGO world are both consumers and critical agents of the sophisticated knowledge of management and leadership from an institutional perspective. In line with the mission and strategic direction of Uganda Management institute, the Higher Degrees Department designed a unique Masters Degree in Institutional Management and Leadership, which blends theoretical and practical skills to produce a institutional leader or manager with capacity to steer his or her institution/organization in the rapdly changing organizational environment.

The Masters of Institutional Management and Leadership is designed to enable managers play a challenging role in managing key strategic resources and to tap necessary competences amidst a turbulent internal and external institutional set up where the common expectation is ‘to do more with less’. The programme not only addresses the primary challenges of day-today operational management and leadership issues but more importantly it aims at developing managers and leaders who can handle the tactical and strategic roles. The programme will help the participants to develop competencies in a number of specific areas that will enhance their ability to provide urgent solutions to their clients.

The core components of the course provides for not only the generic required competencies in management and leadership but also those of the modern era whilst the specializations and Dissertation component/term paper allows the candidates to demonstrate their ability to formulate and research issues and problems faced by their organizations. To achieve these goals but also to ensure quality of the teaching and learning outcomes, the programme will be taught by a combination of academics, senior public and private managers and leaders, accomplished with significant local and international exposure. We strive to encourage and adopt collaborative mechanisms with reputable visiting academics and practitioners in the areas of management and leadership. The programme will expose participants with the theory and practice of effective management and leadership through comparing national, regional and international practices.

Course Aims and objectives:The Masters in Institutional Management and Leadership is designed for anyone who aspires to have a leadership position in any kind of organization, including but not limited to service delivery sectors like education, health or who is interested in understanding more about management and leadership positions within these contexts.Theprogramme aims to develop the knowledge, skills, competencies and capabilities of its graduates to lead their organizations efficiently, effectively and successfully at a time of rapid change. The Master’s Programme is oriented to the needs of professionals and researchers and will be strongly supported by a broad range of experts in the field.

In specific terms, this programme pursues two broad aims: (i) To enable aspiring leaders and managers to become more informed about critical issues in management and leadership, and thus to apply intellectual and practitioner oriented approaches to addressing these challenges during their work(ii) To help them cope positively and effectively with the management and leadership challenges that emanate from the political, social, economical and technological environments.

The programme will impart a set of skills including Management Skills ,Leadership skills, change management skills, people management skills, Research Skills ,Curriculum Development Skills ,Psychology Skills ,Research Skills , Cultural Diversity Skills , Evaluation Skills , facilities management , financial management among others.

Rationale and Justification:In the changing environment there is a general lack of specifically designed programmes to meet the




unique challenges of institutional leaders and managers with a true vision of service to propel their organizations A graduate level training programme aimed at producing such managers and leaders with the practical hands-on skills to effectively manage and lead institutions amidst the exiting challenges but with the capacity to work within the bureaucracies of the institutional systems cannot be over emphasized. A Masters in Institutional Management and Leadership will involve an analysis of different institutional systems in Uganda (and beyond) and will impart skills and competencies with an ability to manage a large number of people and the ability to navigate often cumbersome bureaucracies in effectively producing institutional outcomes. The Programme aims at producing problem solvers not leaders or managers who become ‘part of the problem’. The programme will have core and specialization modules offered within three Semesters and Dissertation/Term Seminar Paper in the third semester. The weekend programme will be conducted at UMI main campus on Saturdays and Sundays for a prescribed number of contact hours.

Target Categories:Members of governing boards in government and private organisationsCEOs in public and private organisationsSenior managers of educational, health and other institutionsThose aspiring to be experts in the science and practice of institutional management and leadership.Senior academics, principles, Teachers and trainers in government and private institutions Organisational Development analysts and ConsultantsHeads of Departments

Programme structure: The programme will include a set of 12 core compulsory modules to be completed by all participants and a set of elective modules (4-specializations) with the dissertation/Term paper written after completing both core and specializations. To receive an award of a Masters of institutional Management and Leadership, the student must have completed core and elective courses and presented and defended a dissertation of acceptable quality in accordance with the guidelines of Uganda Management institute.
