respond to the national crisis of Human Resource for Health (HHR) 1and to contribute towards
evidence based practice and policies related to healthcare through expanded research capacity.
In line with improving MUHAS’ research capacity, it is hoped that the proposed program will
also facilitate wider dissemination of research findings to all stakeholders, through on job
training workshops and seminars and peer mentoring to MUHAS faculty and students on the use
of e-learning system, instructional design, access and use of e-resources and publishing in peer
reviewed journals. The envisaged ultimate outcome of the proposed collaboration will be to
improve quality of training and research at MUHAS.
2. General objectives and expected results 2015-2020
Listed below are the specific objectives of the project
1. To establish and upgrade existing ICT infrastructure in collaboration with DSV/SPIDER
to support teaching, learning, research and other functions of the university by improving
intranet, Local Area Network (LAN), wireless network, and Closed Circuit Television
System (CCTV) by 2020.
2. To integrate the management information systems (MISs), including a centralized user
management system (LDAP), Students’ Academic Record Information System (SARIS),
Library Systems i.e. Federated Search Systems and E-learning Management Systems
along with cloud applications, subscription to e-resources and associated hardware and
capacity building by 2020 in collaboration with DSV/SPIDER.
3. To build the capacity of MUHAS staff members and postgraduate students on the basic
ICT skills, usage of MISs, cloud computing applications, e-learning systems,
instructional design and access to and use of e-resources.
4. To build the capacity of MUHAS ICT staff on design, development, implementation,
management, support and maintenance of ICT infrastructure, systems and services by
2020 in collaboration with SPIDER.
The proposed capacity-building programme is expected to positively affect both the capacity of
the institution (MUHAS) and the surrounding society by creating a sustainable academic system
for societal development. The table below outlines a time plan indicating the proposed activities.
The outcomes of these activities are outlined in time plan (see enclosure 1) and RBM matrix (see
enclosure 2).

system by 30% students and 30% academic staff, in June 2018.
Objective 3: To build the capacity of MUHAS staff members and postgraduate students on
the basic ICT skills, usage of MISs, cloud computing applications, e-learning systems,
instructional design and access to and use of e-resources.
The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) allows faculty members and postgraduate
students to improve teaching, learning, and research activities. The CPD programme enhances
career progression, keep abreast with new technologies and practices. Therefore, the CPD
programme will focus on building the capacity of MUHAS faculty and students on the following
areas: usage of cloud computing applications; e-resources and e-learning systems; and access to
e-resources and evidence based health care practices. The CPD programmes for the year
2017/2018 will be organized as outlined below.
Two workshops on e-resources and e-learning will be conducted to 60 MUHAS faculty (30
Female: 30 Male). The workshops will be conducted by June, 2018.

A total of five (5) workshops will be offered to postgraduate students at MUHAS to build
the capacity on basic ICT skills, access and use of e-resources, e-learning and use of
management information systems. Each workshop will be conducted to 25 postgraduate
students, making a total of 125 postgraduate students (50 female: 75 Male)
Objective 4: To build the capacity of MUHAS library and ICT staff on design,
development, implementation, management, support and maintenance of ICT
infrastructure, systems and services by 2020
The project will build the capacity of Library-ICT staff to improve their skills on design,
development, implementation, management and maintenance of ICT infrastructure, systems and
services by conducting two workshops. In this year, two in-house training workshops will be
conducted to 40 Library- ICT staff (20 Female: 20 Male) by June 2019.
5. Analysis
The project was implemented successfully, although there are some activities, which will be
carried forward to the next year 2017/18:
a) Five activities will be carried forward because the ICT technical audit took a longer
time than it was expected. The delay in completing the ICT audit affected timely
implementation of the activities as outlined below. Therefore, all these project activities
will be carried over to the third year of the project. It is therefore expected that all these
project activities will be completed by June, 2018. These project activities include the
following:
Development, Training, management and maintenance of MUHAS intranet
system
Integration of Management Information Systems (MISs)
Installation and configuration of Virtual Private Network (VPN) and
centralized user management system
Building capacity for MUHAS faculty staff on use of MISs and e-learning
system delayed because of systems improvements. 2 workshops will be
conducted for MUHAS faculty during 2017/18 project activities
Building capacity for technical ICT staff the management of MISs and
intranet system delayed because of the ICT audit. 2 workshops to ICT
technical staff will be conducted during 2017/18 project activities
