VICE-CHANCELLOR'S REFORM AGENDA

A synergistic five-point reform agenda poised to transform the University into a Vibrant, Relevant and Sustainable Institution

Data-Driven Management

Investing our energies and resources towards setting up a comprehensive and integrated data management system. This will entail reengineering our business processes and enhancing and embedding the use of technology.

Governance

Refocusing our human, financial and institutional resources to the core mandate of the University as well as eliminating redundant and overlapping systems, processes, structures, and reporting centers.

Curricula

Reviewing the courses offered at the University of Nairobi with a view to assess the overall cost of implementation of each program and the level they respond to market, industry, societal, and government needs.

Financial Reforms

An efficient and optimal internal financial ecosystem will allow the university to move with confidence towards scaling external resource mobilization with a high level of confidence that any cent received will render 100% value for money and eliminate the fiscal deficit.

People-Focus

The University students, staff, partners and our collaborators are the foundation of the success of the University. The university will therefore proactively take deliberate steps to brand itself and to add value to its staff and students.
