Namasagali Campus is host to the Faculty of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences of Busitema
University. The faculty is focused on contribution to sound natural resource and environmental
management through teaching, research and outreach activities. Its rural setting and location on the
banks of the Nile River, perfects its mission of pursuing excellence through the provision of high
standard training, and outreach for socio-economic transformation and sustainable development
backed by high quality research outputs
