Municpality 166 Gulu, Laroo Division UgandaIn 2001 a Technical Task Force was appointed to set up the University. Because of the insecurity in Gulu at the time, the Team set up a temporary office at Lincoln Flat 4 at Makerere University. The Task Force consisted of Dr. J.H. Pen Mogi Nyeko , Prof. Mary. J.N. Okwakol ,Dr. Stephen Tikodri , and Mr N. Peter Egwel Odyomo. The office relocated to Gulu in early 2002. In October 2002 the University opened at the District Farm Institute located on Awich Street in Laroo Division, Gulu Municipality. The University opened with the Faculty of Science Education and Institute Human Resource Development offering following courses; Bachelor of Science Education, Postgraduate Diploma in Education, Diploma in Computer Science, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Development Studies, Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Management, Diploma in Secretarial and Information Management,and Diploma in Development Studies. Initially, the University was named Gulu University of Agriculture and Environmental Science and was to specialize in agricultural mechanization. However, it was later proposed that the University should widen its scope beyond agricultural mechanization and produce high level human resource that can effectively participate in solving the social and economic problems of the country. It was then renamed Gulu University. From 2002 the University steadily increased its intake, faculties and programmes due to the demand to satisfy practical needs regionally, nationally, and internationally. The University now has six faculties and two institutes: Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Agriculture and Environment, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Education and Humanities, Faculty of Business and Development Studies, Faculty of Law, Institute of Peace and Strategic Studies, and Institute of Research, Graduate Studies and Staff Development.

, Tororo, Eastern Region , UGNational Livestock Resources Research Institute (NaLIRRI) is one of 16 semi-autonomous Agricultural Public Research Institutes established for the purposes of providing agricultural research services under the policy guidance of the National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO). Our Vision A sustainable and competitive livestock sector offering numerous profitable employment opportunities and nourishing animal food demands of Ugandans. Our Mission To enhance sustainable utilization of appropriate livestock research outputs for improved livelihoods of Ugandans. Background The National Livestock Resources Research Institute (NaLIRRI) owes its origins to the colonial era when the East African Trypanosomiasis Research Organisation (EATRO) was founded in 1956 with a mandate to conduct research on Tsetse flies and Trypanosomiasis in both human and animals across Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania under the jurisdiction of the East African Common Services Organisation which later became the East African Community. EATRO was eventually handed over to Uganda Government in 1977 after the collapse of the East African Community and was renamed Uganda Trypanosomiasis Research Organisation (UTRO). UTRO was mandated to conduct research on tsetse flies, human and animal Trypanosomiasis in Uganda. In 1992, UTRO was merged with the then Animal Health Research Centre at Entebbe to form Livestock Health Research Institute (LIRI) to handle livestock health and theriogenology, including, sleeping sickness in man. The National Agricultural Research Act 2005 of Uganda established a National Agricultural Research System (NARS) for Uganda comprising of semi-autonomous National Agricultural Research institutes to manage and conduct strategic agricultural research. The Act mandates NaLIRRI as the public agricultural research institute responsible for research and related services in Livestock Health, Nutrition, Breeding, Socio-economics, Marketing and Apiculture.
