OUR STRATEGIC PLAN
I am pleased to provide some introductory thoughts to this document, which has come at an important turning point in the history of Citizen University (CUZ).
In the recent past, the term ‘University’ was synonymous with ‘University of Zambia but the scenario has now changed as more players have come ‘in the field to play the game of providing higher education’, simply stated, competition in providing higher education is now a reality. This therefore calls for a paradigm shift in the manner the Citizen University (CUZ) conducts its business.
Thus this five-year plan, which partly builds upon our previous Strategic Plan, focuses on repositioning the Citizen University (CUZ) by transforming the challenges arising from the merging competitive era into ultimate opportunities for exploitation. The Plan summarizes our priorities and sets out a series of programmes and projects that we believe will transform the University into ‘A Provider of World Class Services in Higher Education and Knowledge Generation.’
The heart of our mission, our integrated mandate, means that we will act across all the areas of higher education for which we are responsible, that is, teaching, research/consultancy, and community service. Guided by our management philosophy in our decision making process and believing, and upholding our core values of Innovativeness, Integrity, Accountability, Academic Freedom, Equity, Excellence, Citizen University (CUZ) is strategically poised to ride the high tidal wave of competition and continue providing quality higher education. One of the strengths of the University is its diversity of highly qualified and dedicated academic, administrative and technical staff. It is this unique resource which will drive this Strategic Plan to ensure that the Vision, Mission and Strategic Directions are realised. We will not be working alone in delivering this Plan. We already have a number of partner organisations which share our dedication to providing sustainable quality higher education, intellectual capital development, community service, and we consider it vital to work in close collaboration with them.
I would like to thank all the people who took part in our Strategic Planning process by offering their insights, evidence, experience and ideas.
As we reposition ourselves in the coming five years, we intend to capitalize on the relationships we have been building with people and organisations that have an interest in the work of the Citizen University (CUZ). We will find more ways to secure the expert advice of many in our projects and our decision making process. The high benchmark we have set of delivering this Strategic Plan can only be successfully attained with the involvement of the widest possible coalition. I hope and believe that our plans match that ambition.
