History

Operations


UNCHE's main role is to license new universities and other institutions of higher learning in Uganda. Accreditation may be provisional or permanent, and is revocable at the sole discretion of UNCHE. The agency is also responsible for monitoring the performance of the institutions that it licenses, to ensure that they maintain the standards, if satisfactory, and remedy those aspects, where improvement is needed. The agency is governed by a Board of Directors, and is managed by a Management Team, led by the Executive Director.[4]
