VISION & MISSION

Our Vision

A Globally Competitive University Transforming Society
Our Mission

To provide quality university education that embodies the aspirations of the Kenyan people and the global community through teaching, research, innovation, and community service.

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.
