Annual Work-plans and Operational Plan

During the second quarter of every year, the University will produce their respective work plans, which all together shall form the Operational Plan for the coming financial year. The operational plan will set out in detail how the University will implement or make progress towards implementing the Strategic Plan. For compliance, the annual Operational Plan will be approved by the Council of BU and Parliament.

Each program’s work plans shall be aligned to the key result areas herein contained, and structured to reflect the five strategic objectives in the Strategic Plan, showing inputs, outputs, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), target dates and accountability for delivery of each task. There will be a strategic lead person on each broader objective to ensure delivery by agreed timelines and drive and monitor achievement of the targets against Key Performance Indicators
