Abstract: Abstract A significant challenge faced by the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) is the lack of a common University Information Management System (UIMS) for the East African Community (EAC) to manage information concerning the academic life cycle, assets, finance, and human resource. UIMS is among the modules of the Higher Education Information System (HEIS) for the East African Community (EAC), which aims to harmonize the region’s education and training system in EAC. However, traditional high-education information management is not only costly but also ineffective. This work presents the development of a web-based data-driven University Information Management system (UIMS) for IUCEA to manage information about the academic life cycle, assets, finance, and human resource from all degrees awarding high education. In addition, this work added a university application portal to help high education institutions to apply for being among all degrees awarding high education. It has been developed using agile software development and web technology such as RESTful API, React, Django, and MySQL. UIMS for IUCEA will significantly impact the IUCEA’s day-to-day operation and receive recognition from the surfer. In addition, it will improve the efficiency of many processes.
