Скачать или смотреть KAPATU University Project on Track to Becoming a Reality - Museveni Assures Karamojong Community

In a recent rally held on December 5, 2024, at Lomukura village in Kotido District, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni reassured the people of Karamoja that the long-awaited Karamoja Peace And Technology University (KAPATU) is on track to becoming a reality. As the Founding Chancellor of KAPATU, Museveni emphasized that the decision to establish the university is firmly integrated into the Ugandan government's national agenda, which aims to have a public university in each of the 18 zones across the country.

Currently, Karamoja and about five other zones are without a public university. However, the government is committed to prioritizing KAPATU's establishment, with Museveni indicating that it is merely a matter of budgeting. He stated, “The decision to support and set up the university is as good as done.”

The KAPATU project is a collaborative initiative involving the Roman Catholic Church, the Catholic Lawyers Society International, and the Government of Uganda. The establishment of the university is spearheaded by a Strategic Leadership Committee chaired by President Museveni, with Vice President Jessica Alupo serving as the Founding Deputy Chancellor and Chief Promoter.
