Income generation Inadequate staff capacity Inadequate training and learning A dissertation submitted to Mzumbe University as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of degree’s of Master's of Business Administration (MBA-CM) of Mzumbe University This study is about assessment of challenges facing Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) in income generation - the case of selected institutions in Morogoro Region namely: Mzumbe University (MU), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), Jordan University College (JUC) and Muslim University of Morogoro (MUM). The study used a sample of 65 randomly and purposively selected from the said public and private higher learning institutions. A combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches was used in studying the phenomenon. Data was collected using documentary review, questionnaire and interview guides. Quantitative data from the questionnaires were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft Excel Spread sheet programmes, whereas qualitative data from interview guides was analysed descriptively. It was found that inadequate cooperation between Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) and private sectors affect Income Generating Activities (IGAs). Inadequate staff capacity and heavy teaching allocated to the academic staff was a major reason for not fully participating in Income Generating Activities (IGAs). The findings also revealed that well designed programmes which reflect labour market requirements will help Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) in generating more income. Also well established and developed external linkages will enhance income generation activities in HLIs. The study therefore recommends the following: Income Generating Activities (IGAs) to be given top priority in Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs), partnership between HLIs and private sector should be strengthened; staff capacity should be raised, Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) should strike a balance between teaching workload and their other core activities such as consultancies and researches, training and learning resources should be increased and improved so as to increase income in the long run.
