The World’s developed economies achieved this success through building a strong private sector. Uganda today subscribes to this ideological orientation, with support from the Private Sector Foundation of Uganda (PSFU). Government envisages that it would primarily focus on provision of national security and economic infrastructure (e.g Transport Infrastructure, Electricity, Water for Production, etc), while the Private Sector would steer the production of goods and services to realize the aspirations of the Vision 2040.
However, there cannot be Private Sector without well established and professionally managed business entities. The Department of Business therefore comes in to ensure the availability of competent professionals in business world. The Institute contributes to this cause through offering market oriented Programs that are pertinent to business establishment, survival and growth. They include diploma and certificate in:
- Business Administration,
- Purchasing and Supplies Management,
- Marketing,
- Accountancy, and
- Secretarial Studies.
The Diploma in Business Administration is designed to equip business oriented students with the necessary knowledge and skills to identify and solve business puzzles.
