The main objective: To strengthen higher education institutions capacity to use ICT in Masters’ research journey management processes and devise Policy reforms for relevant high-quality research outputs at HEIs in Uganda. Activities: (1) Project Inception & Management (2) Stakeholder Mapping, Profiling and Engagement (3) National Research & university Policy Reviews (4) Developing Research methods manuals for staff & students (5) Developing an E-Supervision Platform (6) Development of a connecting Mobile App (7) Compiling a Compendium of nationally relevant research priorities (8) Dissemination (9) Staff Mobility & Capacity Building Beneficiaries: 5 Universities (3 from Uganda – MUBS, MAK & MUST; and 1 Portugal – ULisboa, 1 Netherlands – VU, Amsterdam). Uganda HEIs counterparts will benefit from demonstrated increased knowledge, mobility & adoption of new technologies while the European partners will benefit from knowledge internationalization. At least 700 staff and 1,500 students inter-connected on a NCHE approved Research E-Supervision Platform; 800 masters students conduct their timely research; 500 supervisors & 100 administrative improve their work efficiency and interaction with students; 300 internal and 200 external examiners conduct timely assessment of research reports and Viva-voce; NCHE with moderate level of interest will enhance capacity and accreditation; 2 employers (Kyazze & Kankaka Co. Advocates & UCCSRI Ltd) will upgrade their Sustainable development data tracking skills. Key outputs: (1) A revised national master research policy framework; (2) NCHE approved E-Supervision Platform. (3) A Mobile App. connecting the participating universities. Short term Results: Timely graduation of students; Reduced supervision inconsistencies; Relevant & High-quality research outputs & reliable student research assessment processes. Long term results: Enhanced research capacity in Uganda; Increased stock of relevant research; Employable graduates
