GBI Strategy 2010 - 2012 • Quality programs provided to church and Christian NGO workers that is recognized by the NCHE at the Certificate and Diploma levels with a Provisional License while working towards classification status • A sustainable model whereby GBI raise 50% of the yearly budget from within Uganda. • Develop, manage and maintain a modern campus for training leaders in the developing African context.

GBI Stakeholders • GBI Board – established for the overall direction of the school and a legal entity for oversight of the school • GBI Staff – the paid and volunteer staff who provide day-to-day oversight of the school and are responsible for the implementation of the vision for the school • GBI Students – the consumers of the school and representatives of our leadership training • ARM UG – has administered the finance and human resource of GBI for the first 3 years of existence, as well as providing oversight for the yearly strategic plan • Partner Churches / Community • – sending students, employing graduates • ARM US / Donors • – provision of finance and in kind donations as well as counsel • and participation in planning
Critical Success Factors • Stakeholder acceptance and support of change • A long term land agreement with ARM • Recruitment and retention of staff • Adequate training for current GBI staff • Funding for ongoing improvements to GBI programs • Funding to bring our new campus up to NCHE standards • GBI receiving a Provisional License from the NCHE in a timely manner • Building a positive image in the community and throughout the country
Risks • New Guidelines from NCHE were published in 2001 and 2006, it is possible that new revisions could be in place for 2011 • Delayed accreditation from the NCHE will continue to make it a challenge to recruit students and find donors for GBI • Current non-compliance with NCHE could convince the NCHE to shut GBI down, as has happened with other schools • Monarchy and land related riots • Riots and disturbances from the 2011 Elections • Conflicting interest of board members could keep GBI’s best interests from being addressed • Community sabotage if the move of GBI to the Maranatha Secondary School campus is not communicated well • Another similar school receiving their provisional license before GBI could pull away potential donors and students • GBI’s unwillingness to pay bribes may have negative impact • Social change such as the discovery of oil and influx of Muslims
