Universities occupy a unique position within any society. From time immemorial, universities have long been known as agents of change, drivers of global, national and local innovation, catalysts for social and political action, centres of new knowledge through research, advancing the technology frontier, engines of societal transformation, well being and economic development.
Kenya’s Vision 2030 recognises the role of universities in knowledge creation and its ability to transform this country into a newly industrialised, middle income economy with a globally competitive workforce.
