ABOUT THE INSTITUTION
BIP is an internationally recognized training provider specializing in assessing the skills of young minds across the region. During President Yoweri Museveni visit to the UAE in November 2017, President Museveni held a meeting with the Emir of Sharjah, HH Sultan Bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi at his palace in Sharjah where the two leaders discussed cooperation in areas of education, health and vocational training. HH Sultan Bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi generously offered to donate the construction of a vocational institute and President Museveni pledged to provide the land. Subsequently the Ministry of Education and Sports, represented by the Hon. FL/MES, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, UAE on the relationship between the two countries to extend bridges of cooperation by establishing the Busoga Institute of Technology, specialized in vocational and technical training in Uganda.
