The education sector, especially higher education, has been identified as one of the key avenues for promoting sustainability and supporting governments and other actors in implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Management Development Institutes (MDIs) can particularly be handy in providing training, research and expert services to individuals and agencies and organizations on sustainability and implementation of SDGs. Such institutions enrol a number of practitioners on management-related courses and programmes and these individuals influence decisions in their organizations. A number of public agencies and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) approach such institutions to develop their management capacities and systems as well as providing expert services in various aspects of management and administration. The article presents the experience of Uganda Management Institute (UMI) in fostering sustainability and the engagement of government and other non-government actors on the implementation of SDGs in Uganda. The paper describes the various training, research, and policy engagements with actors on sustainable development and implementation of SDGs in Uganda conducted by the Institute.
