Strengthening Government – Higher Education Development Program

Strategic Institutional Development Plans (SIDPs)

Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) through the Higher Education Development Program (HEDP) have urged universities to prepare strategic development plans and implement these strategies which help universities to have a clear long term vision, gain autonomy and be accountable. Universities are required to prepare and implement the strategic institutional development plans aimed at progressively increasing the quality and relevance of their degree programs, research outputs and community services, and utilizing feedback from external and internal quality assurance reviews. SPs have to be consistent with the NHESP-II and present a realistic and sustainable financial framework. In parallel, universities will also develop Annual Progress Reports (APRs) which will take stock of progress towards achieving SP targets. The following universities have prepared their SIDPs so far:
