About
Nsamizi Training Institute of Social Development (NTISD) is a public tertiary institution located in Mpigi Town Council. The Institute was founded in 1953 with a mandate of training professional Social Development workers. Currently, the Institute falls under the Ministry of Education and Sports, and remains specialised in professional training of the Social Development Work-force in Social Development Practice, Research and Advocacy.
Over the years NTISD has positioned herself as a premier student-community centred learning institution dedicated to academic and practice excellence, innovation, research and outreaches for Social and economic transformation. In line with the global Sustainable Development Goals, and Uganda’s Vision 2040, our vision is “to become a reputable centre of excellence in training and producing practical oriented human resources that ably deliver quality services that can transform the social development sector”. Our mission is “to produce competent human resources with positive attitudes that deliver quality services in social development”.
Development challenges that we target in our training programmes are those that directly afflict livelihood systems and include among others health, education, income and food security, leadership, cultural belief systems and conflict among others.
