Research and PhD Capacities in Sub-Saharan Africa: Kenya Report

Abstract

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in partnership with the British Council conceived this research project and co-funded it together, with support from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The overall study was commissioned to the African Network for Internationalisation of Education (ANIE), and their network of researchers across Sub Saharan Africa. In particular, the work of the following individuals should be acknowledged: James Jowi and Dr Charles Ochieng Ong’ondo for their oversight of the role of ANIE; and Peter Barasa (PhD) together with Carolyne Omulando (PhD) both of the Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Educational Media, Moi University, Kenya for leading the research in Kenya. ANIE led the empirical research and produced the initial analysis, and then worked together with Dr Tristan McCowan and Elisa Brewis at University College London Institute of Education to finalise this country report. Helmut Blumbach from the DAAD and Michael Peak from the British Council drove the study forward.
