Description 1. Purpose
The Uganda National Records and Archives Act, 2001 requires the Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation – Uganda to manage its records in a well-structured record keeping system, and to put the necessary policies and procedures in place to ensure that its record keeping and records management practices comply with the requirements of the Act and records requirements by the Sponsorship office and other Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation - Uganda.
Information is a resource of the same importance to good management as other standard resources like people, money and facilities. The information resources of Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation – Uganda must therefore be managed as a valuable asset. Appropriate records management is a vital aspect of maintaining and enhancing the value of this asset. Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation – Uganda considers its records to be a valuable asset to:

enable Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation - Uganda to perform its functions successfully and efficiently and in an accountable manner;
support the business, legal and accountability requirements of Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation - Uganda;
ensure the conduct of business in an orderly, efficient and accountable manner;

protect the interests of Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation - Uganda and the rights of employees, clients and present and future stakeholders;
support and document Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation - Uganda’s activities, development and achievements;

Records management, through the proper control of the content, storage and volume of records, reduces vulnerability to legal challenge or financial loss and promotes best value in terms of human and space resources through greater co-ordination of information and storage systems.
