Foreword
The 2012 University of Nairobi Annual Report captures the main activities of
academic departments and administrative units of last year. The Report outlines
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.
Through the activities, the University accounts for itself within its stated mandate
of Research, Teaching, Consultancy and Corporate Social Responsibility to its
stakeholders. The Report also highlights 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

The centre spread contains selected images of important corporate activities
