F o r e w o r d
The 2010 University of Nairobi Annual Report is part of the commitment made two
years ago by the University to capture the main activities of academic departments and
administrative units on an annual basis. This report therefore has outlined activities at the
School/Faculty/Institute level.
The 2010 Annual Report has outlined programmes on offer, admission statistics, graduation
statistics, research links and collaboration, papers presented at international meetings,
publications, corporate social responsibility activities and the financial statement. In this way
the University envisages providing an account of itself within its stated mandate of Research,
Teaching, Consultancy and Corporate social responsibility.
This report also provides a detailed analysis of student enrolment in all programmes by gender,
level of study and the module of choice. The pictorial section reads like a who is who, in
respect to visitors to the University in its role of disseminating widely and holding discourse.
We also highlight the ICT infrastructural position of the University as well as the financial status
of the august institution — which have enabled the University to carry out its activities and live
up to its motto “ Unitate et labore”.
We hope that Annual Report 2010 highlights interests our stakeholders.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010 UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI ISO 9001:2008 certified
M e s s a g e s

V i c e -c h a n c e l l o r The 2010 Annual Report, in keeping
with trends and established standards
has carried detailed information on
the University's financial and infrastructural
performance over the year. The Annual
report summarises the state of our health
as a corporate body and offers a glimpse of
what to expect in future — a bigger, robust
University.
2010, was eventful in that, while there was
a harsh economic and political environment
occasioned by student unrest, through
prudent management of the human and
financial resources , and the loyalty of staff,
the University was able to continue to
discharge its mandate.
The 2010, Annual Report therefore, is a
manifestation of the versatility and resilience,
determination and commitment of the
Prof. George a. O. Magoha University to provide quality education and
training, to meet Kenya’s MDG4 goals, and
Vision 2030.
This Report highlights the activities
undertaken in our units as well as the lead
role played by the University of Nairobi in
international discourse.
We invite all readers to enjoy reading and
from keen insights, provide feedback on
issues raised so that the publication is not
only strengthened but also the University
lives up to its reputation as among the best
in the region.
