Abstract
Poor implementation of information technology governance (ITG) leads to several IT systems
performing poorly, resulting in discontinuity of services, user frustration, loss of IT investment,
increased redundancy, duplication of efforts, poor decision making, and reputation loss. In Uganda,
implementation of ITG is low as many public sector organizations are yet to streamline. Yet, for
higher institutions of learning (HILs), the implementation of ITG is unexplored. Therefore, this
study sought to determine the required mechanisms to design an ITG framework for HILs in Uganda
(IGHU). A descriptive field study was conducted, and the data were analyzed using SmartPLS 2.3.9
software. The causal relationships and validity of the constructs of IGHU were tested using partial
least square path modeling. The coefficient of determination was 0.35; the path coefficient indicated
both positive and negative relationships of independent to dependent constructs, and hypotheses such
as accountability of IT projects and awareness campaigns were statistically significant.
