The Acquisition of Projects Resources in the University of Bamenda

Abstract

This study investigates the process of project resource acquisition under the University of Bamenda. Acquiring resources is the process of securing team members, equipment, materials or other resources required to deliver the project. Resources are people, equipment, materials, money, or anything else that the University of Bamenda needs in order to carry out all of the activities that have been planned. The University of Bamenda is public entity and therefore it follows the procurement code of Cameroon, which can bring in delays in the process due to administrative procedures. In this study we used the primary data collection technique particularly the use of interview though with limitations in the sample size. The study used descriptive statistics such as frequency tables, bar charts and pie charts in presenting the data. The study concluded that the University of Bamenda uses the public contracts procurement code to acquire material resources which are financed either by the MINESUP or by the University funds. Resources such as human are acquired by recruitment and financial resources acquired through the payment of fees (tuition and medical).
