Today we had the pleasure of hosting a team from the National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Department during their routine institutional inspection visit.
The team, led by Ms. Evelyne Mbaabu, visited KEFRI to better understand the work the Institute is doing and to evaluate our activities in line with the Science, Technology and Innovation Act, No. 28 of 2013, under which KEFRI is registered.
The team was received by Dr. M.T.E. Mbuvi, Senior Deputy Director, Research and Development, who welcomed them on behalf of the Director.
During the visit, the NACOSTI team toured several laboratories and interacted with researchers and staff, and they commended KEFRI for the quality of research being undertaken and the institute’s strong contribution to sustainable forestry and environmental conservation in Kenya.
They also appreciated the institute’s commitment to innovation, knowledge sharing, and the practical application of research to benefit communities and stakeholders.
The visit provided a valuable opportunity to showcase our work, and receive important feedback that will help us continue improving our research and services.
We thank the NACOSTI team for the visit and for their continued support in advancing science, technology, and innovation in the country.
