Funding Higher Education in Uganda: With Special Emphasis on Donor’s Role and Contribution of National Communities Approaches

  • Chapter
Funding Higher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

The funding of higher education refers to the provision of resources needed to facilitate an institution as it performs its core functions and in the process delivers desired educational services (Muyimbwa, 2004). Indeed, without adequate funding, higher education institutions cannot effectively perform their functions and deliver the desired quality education. In particular, the size and quality of the teaching staff depends on an institution’s staff-development program, the effectiveness of which is largely dependent on the adequacy of funding.
