For two weeks in June 2024, twenty-four middle-level university leaders and managers from different universities in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia participated in UNILEAD Eastern Africa 2024  and were equipped with essential skills and knowledge to enhance their institutions’ operations and governance.  The training themed “Strengthening University Leadership and Management” was hosted by Rongo University in partnership with Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, and was the first phase of training, made up of three modules.

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.
