On 16th July 2025, a delegation from South Africa, facilitated by the Directorate of Research, Innovation, and Extension (DRIE), arrived in Kenya.

The team was officially received by DiNAO on 17th July 2025, led by Professor Mervin Meyer. Their core objective was clear—to deepen international collaboration in research, education, and innovation.

This visit went beyond symbolic partnership; it was a strategic initiative aimed at advancing and internationalizing the academic structure of the host university. Discussions focused on:

• Joint teaching programs
• Collaborative research projects
• Community outreach efforts

All these efforts were designed to foster mutual growth between the Kenyan institution and its South African counterpart.

Key schools identified as central to this collaboration include:

• School of Health Sciences
• School of Biological, Physical, Mathematical, and Actuarial Sciences
• School of Agricultural and Food Sciences

This partnership marks an important step toward expanding global academic networks and strengthening research-driven impact.
