Apart from interacting and networking with several seasoned leaders from Rongo University, a representative of the DAAD Regional Office for Africa in Nairobi, and a Programme Leader from the University of Oldenburg, the participants were trained and mentored by experts from Germany, Kenya, and Ghana. This diverse group of mentors and trainers provided a rich and comprehensive learning experience during the program. This engaging program also featured cultural activities spanning the participating countries, aimed at fostering diversity and inclusivity.
UNILEAD is a transformative program that aims to prepare university middle-level managers for leadership and management roles by equipping them with relevant skillsets required in higher education institutions.
