The University of Ghana says it has finalised plans to launch a 10-year Strategic Plan for 2014 to 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan has nine strategic priorities which should put the University of Ghana on the path to becoming a world-class research university and aims to help rethink the long term strategy for the University\u2019s development,\u201d Vice Chancellor Professor Ernest Aryeetey said on Friday.<\/p>\n
Prof Aryeetey who announced this at the 2014 graduation ceremony said the strategic plan will overhaul institutional processes.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”g94VhoaRsjFvd9RuL5xKrbclO3KGj7VA”]\u201cGovernance arrangements in the University have been overhauled to achieve greater effectiveness and efficiency, and to this end four colleges have been established,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
They are Colleges of Basic and Applied Sciences, Humanities, Education and Health Sciences.<\/p>\n
According to the Vice Chancellor the aim is to decentralise the majority of operations of the University through the collegiate system; develop a model for measuring the operational cost of all units; strengthen the budgeting system as an effective means of relevant resource allocation and modernise management systems using an integrated ICT approach.<\/p>\n
He also said the university is in the process of developing a strategic marketing and communications plan and policy with a focus on properly managing all the University\u2019s brand assets.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese will be achieved through developing a conscious plan of public engagement that is aligned with the research ambitions of the university; promoting stronger collaboration between the University and its key stakeholders; and strengthening collaboration with top-tier international research universities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Prof Aryeetey said each of the strategic priorities has a set of strategic objectives and key performance indicators with each unit of the University having its own strategic plan and objectives, which fit into the overall vision of the University.<\/p>\n
The strategic plan would be subjected to periodic, rigorous and objective review to establish its impact and maintain its relevance, he said.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cWe are convinced that the process of detailed analysis and internal discussion that we have undergone, stands us in good stead to exercise strong influence over our future.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy focusing on our strategic priorities, we will prove to ourselves that we are truly on our way towards becoming a World Class University.\u201d<\/p>\n
