Information:The Uganda Management Institute (UMI) started in October 7, 1969 as a Management Development Institute (MDI), then known as the Institute of Public Administration. The Institute was mandated to conduct intensive in-service training to quickly develop management capacity in the public service. It has gone through various transformations to what it is right now. In 2004, UMI was elevated to a Degree-Granting Institution by an act of Parliament. However, UMI remained an MDI.
