Dear Participants,
Welcome to the 1st Annual development Finance Conference at the School of business which is one of the Schools within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS). The vision of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences reads: "To be a leading unit within the University that promotes academic achievement and excellence in teaching, training, research and consultancy in the Humanities and Social Sciences". Pursuant to this vision, the College constantly monitors developments in its environment and in the world at large. This provides it with societal trends and changes both at home and abroad. The awareness gained enables the College to respond to trends and changes by introducing new academic programmes or modifying existing ones to meet current demand. In this regard, I wish you a successful discourse on the trends and changes that continue to emerge in your discipline of finance as you pursue research and solutions on the possible dual causality of finance and development.

Conference Committee Welcome Remarks
Dear Conference Participants,
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 1st annual development finance conference hosted by the department of Finance and Accounting at the School of Business, University of Nairobi here at Lower Kabete Campus. The conference brings together students, academics, policy makers and practitioners to showcase research, network and collaborate. This conference is part of the wider University of Nairobi Research Week 2019, which is in line with the University’s effort to promote a culture of innovation and outreach.
You recall, the chicken or the egg causality dilemma commonly posed as "which came first: the chicken or the egg?". The dilemma stems from the observation that all chickens hatch from eggs and all chicken eggs are laid by chickens. A similar scenario is coined in the finance or development causality dilemma also posed as "which comes first: Finance or Development?". For the next two days, the Annual Development Finance Conference (ADFC) presents an opportunity to belabour on the second day to day causality dilemma.
Backed by solid empirical evidence, development practitioners are becoming increasingly convinced that efficient, well-functioning financial systems are crucial in channeling funds to the most productive uses and in allocating risks to those who can best bear them, thus boosting economic growth, improving opportunities and income distribution, and reducing poverty. Developing countries with sustainable development goals, Vision 2030 and Big 4 Agenda development objectives should take keen scrutiny on the unresolved Finance or Development nexus debate. This also comes at a time that globally, solutions are quickly emerging from the Digital ecosystems that quickly disrupt the traditional ways of offering financial solutions, products and/ or services. The ADFC presents an initiative to probe and disseminate findings on developing country financial systems, markets, instruments and institutions and their contributions to overall development.
As we wish you fruitful deliberations, we thank all participants for submitting their papers and registering for the conference otherwise we wouldn’t be here. We truly owe our key note speakers gratitude for accepting to forgo their busy schedules just to infuse into our academic discussions industry practice. We also sincerely appreciate the efforts on the UoN Research Week Organizing committee, UoN Management and School of Business leadership who have over the time challenged us to spearhead this noble course and deliver
