January is normally the month when many organisations either plan or review their plans for the New Year. BSU is no exception. The academic year at Gulu University started on January 8. We have since been focussing our attention on how best BSU can deliver on its fundamental and long-held objective of making Gulu a stronger university.

Over 50 teachers from 15 primary and secondary schools in Adjumani and Obongi districts have undergone training in handling sexual and reproductive health issues among adolescents and the youth.

Gulu University on December 20, 2023, held a dialogue with officers of the Uganda Police Force (UPF) from the Aswa West Region to discuss and find ways of working together to enhance security and safety within the region, especially to provide a safe environment for young people. Aswa West comprises Gulu City and the districts of Gulu, Amuru, Nwoya and Omoro.

The CONSCOV team on December 18, 2023, visited the Gulu remand home for juveniles.

It was another unique experience as the team interacted with the young people who are kept in that home for the different crimes they committed.  

Gulu University will on December 6, 2023, host a team from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark as part of arrangements to monitor and ensure that Danish-funded programmes and projects at the university are well managed.

CONSCOV has expanded its territory.

The managers of the BSU project at Gulu University will next week join their counterparts from other African and Danish universities for the closing seminar of the BSU3 programme.

Danida Fellowship Centre (DFC) has published an interesting story about BSU titled Twelve Years of Transformation: Building Stronger Universities Programme Leaves a Lasting Mark on Gulu University.
