This seven-year (2012-2018) Strategic Plan of the Research Division of Mount Kenya University (MKU) is geared towards guiding the Division’s activities in its earnest pursuit of the research mandate bestowed to it. Although the Division is only one year old, it has drawn important strategic objectives under the umbrella themes of Research, Institutional Linkages, Enterprise and Innovation and Community Outreach. Towards realizing these objectives, the Division has formulated several key guidelines and policy documents including the Research Policy, Enterprise and Institutional Linkages Policy, and Intellectual Property Policy. Furthermore, the Division has continued to establish collaboration with other institutions and industry. Thus, this Strategic Plan document will serve as an overarching framework for achieving not only the Division’s goals but also that of the University, and will undoubtedly render a new impetus to the MKU in realizing its Vision and Mission. The Strategic Plan alsoaddresses some of the pivotal issues that will drive research and innovation in a manner that all the stakeholders will find prudent.

MKU prides itself in being agile and able to respond to emerging issues in the field of science, technology and innovation. Thus, this Strategic Plan document will be a flexible oneaimed at responding in a timely manner to the socio-economic needs of the Kenyan people, the continent and the world at large. It is therefore envisaged that this Strategic Plan will serve as a clear roadmap for the Research Division as it strives to fulfill its research mandate..

eXeCutive suMMary

This Strategic Plan (2012-2018) redefines Mount Kenya University Research Division’sshared vision, mission, core functions, policy priorities, strategic objectives, structure and resource requirements based on its mandate and the prevailing socio-economic environment.

Chapter one gives an introduction of Mount Kenya University with regard to its establishment and the importance it places on research, innovation, community outreach and linkages, in line with Vision 2030.

Chapter two presents the mandate, functions, organizational structure and operational scope of the Research Division. The Division envisions “community driven leadership in research and innovation for social and economic development”. The mission of the Research Divisionis “To provide leadership in research and innovation for social and economic empowerment.”

Chapter three presents a situation analysis from a perspective of the internal and external environments affecting the organization and an analysis of the stakeholders with whom the Research Division must work collaboratively to achieve the objectives of the University. The Division’s strengths and weaknesses as well as threats and opportunities are identified using the SWOT and PESTEL analysis models. The analysis unveils the issues that require the action of the Division during the planned 7-year period.

Chapter four presents the strategic model. From the SWOT and PESTEL analysis models, four strategic issues were identified, namely: Research, Community Service, Enterprise and Innovation, and Linkages. For each of the stated issues, relevant strategic objectives were formulated along with appropriate strategies and activities to address them.

Chapter five outlines the implementation plan through a detailed implementation matrix for each of the strategic objectives. The matrix summarizes the following: Activities, Expected Outputs, Performance Indicators, Time Frame and the Expected Impact. Budgetary estimates required to undertake each of the activities are presented in Appendix A. Actual parameters are contrasted against pre-set targets in order to rate performance during the implementation process. The chapter also presents the Division’s projected financial and other resource requirements for implementing this Strategic Plan and gives an indication of risks and theircorresponding mitigation strategies.

Chapter six presents a design for an effective and efficient performance evaluation mechanism for the programmes to be implemented. The evaluation will serve two purposes:to enquire into the efficacy of each planned programme; and to assess the progress and overall impact of implemented programmes. It is proposed that a professional Monitoring and Evaluation Officer be assigned the management of M & E programmes of the Division.

1.0 introDuCtion

Mount Kenya University (MKU) has prioritized research and development as one of its core functional areas. This strategic plan is a manifestation of MKUs commitment to the critical role that research plays in the university’s activities. The strategic plan provides the roadmap to the implementation of research activities in the university for the period 2012-2018. Mount Kenya University is a non-profit making University. It was established in May 2008 through upgrading of the former Thika Institute of Technology and was granted a charter in January 2011. It is one of the leading private Universities in Kenya and the Region inclined towards Science and Technology programmes. The University has established strong community outreach programs. For instance, it is pioneering a programme in Dadaab Refugee Camp in collaboration with Association of Volunteer Services International (AVSI) and United Nations High Commission of Refugees (UNHCR). This programme is one of its kind in anyrefugee camp in the world. The University has also partnered with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to carry out an Action Review, which is a monitoring and review programme for activities in northern and eastern parts of Kenya.

MKU strongly believes that high quality University education involving training and research not only provides the human capital for socio-economic development but also transforms individuals and societies in ways that reduce poverty and increase global competitiveness. University training and research therefore play a crucial role of developing the necessary human capital to support the national growth as targeted by such policy strategies like Kenya Vision 2030 and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The University ascribes to the tenet of synergy through partnership, and the Research Division thus envisages a linkage framework aimed at forging strong partnerships with other universities, the industry, community and development partners. The linkages will be instrumental in boosting the relevance of University education, mobilizing resources and facilitating technology transfer. In this regard, MKU intends to increase the quantity, quality and relevance of research with a view to creating innovations and inventions that will enable the country to effectively transform into knowledge based economy. The University is therefore committed to source funds and to provide the necessary infrastructure and incentives for research.

MKU appreciates that the Government of Kenya has not only increased funding for basic and applied research at higher institutions of learning, but also is committed to facilitate research and development activities in collaboration with industries. The government is committed to transform proven knowledge produced in industries and tertiary institutions including universities into technologies and protect them as intellectual property rights. The government endeavours to encourage innovation and scientific findings through a system of national recognition to honour innovators. MKU therefore through the Research Divisionseeks to seize this enabling environment by sensitizing its staff and students on the potential opportunities of research and innovation that exist in Kenya. MKU also through the Research Division is in the process of establishing Research and Innovation Centres to serve as vehicles that will propel research and innovative activities forward.

This Strategic Plan not only embraces the Vision and Mission of MKU but also other guidelines such as the ones stipulated in the National Vision 2030 and congeners. It is thus envisaged that the Strategic Plan will aid the Research Division scale the heights of research for the next 7 years.

3.0 situation anaLysis

3.1 analysis of the operational environment

3.1.1 Political, economic, social, technological, environmental and Legal (PesteL) analysis

a) PoliticalThe East African Community provides opportunities for regional integration to diversify research that can support sector-wide collaborative research and linkages. The government of Kenya has increased funding for basic and applied research through National Council of Science and Technology (NCST) and at higher institutions of learning for research and development. However this funding is still insufficient. As earlier noted, the Government of Kenya has continued to create an enabling environment for research and innovation. Mount Kenya University has exploited this opportunity by motivating its staff and students to embrace research and innovative activities. On the downside, the government has not formulated policies to guide and prioritize research as fast as the universities and community would desire and apparently the political will to embrace research and innovation is meager. Lack of commensurate compensation and remuneration from the government significantly compromise advances in science and research. It is therefore prudent to lobby the policy makers if the gains that can be made out of research and innovation are to be consolidated. Mount Kenya University is in the frontline to lobby and inform the policy makers and various government institutions on the need to increase support for research and development activities including funding conferences and symposia organized by private institutions of higher learning. In this regard, the University recently secured a NCST funding for the International Conference for Advancement of Business and Management Practice in Africa (ICABUMPA) held at Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) in April 2011. This kind of support was previously a preserve of public institutions.

b) economicMany Countries in Africa especially sub-Saharan Africa have their citizens living below the poverty line, which makes it difficult for them to embrace technology and research findings due to economic hardships. Research and innovation have the potential to provide increased benefits to the community and the country at large, and thus MKU aims to generate innovations that are affordable so as to address the socio-economic needs of the people of this region. The Universityis committed to focused research areas that may yield products that are of economic value, are sustainable and are of relevance to the people of Kenya and the Region. To promote research, the University has established a research fund with an initial allocation of Ksh. 7 million to facilitate research and dissemination of findings through publications, seminars and conferences. The fund is expected to grow during the implementation period of this Strategic Plan.

c) social

Researchers often carry out research without involving all the stakeholders including the community who are the principal beneficiaries of research findings and innovations. MKU will endeavour to involve the community in most of its activities including research to enable them

11

embrace and appreciate the generated innovations. The University is also committed to plough back the benefits or research and innovations to the community through diverse means such as community outreach. The University has continued to open its arms to the society, and the School of Health Sciences has continued to offer regular medical camps to the surrounding communities and beyond. Any intercourse of the community and the University must be guided by clear national and international ethical ethical guidelines. The Research Division is therefore committed to develop the University’s ethical guidelines within the first year of implementation of this Strategic Plan. The Division will also seek to create public awareness on the benefits and shortcomings of its research findings.

d) technological

The World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report of 2006 noted that technological and scientific progress has been a major driver of the transformation of the world economy since World War II. Vision 2030 recognizes science, technology and innovation as the main driver for industrialization to enable Kenya achieve middle-income economy by the year 2030. TheUniversity will endeavour to develop technologies that will meet the socio-economic needs of the African continent. It will also create awareness in the community on the benefits of embracing these technologies and home-made solutions. In this regard, the University isundertaking research in herbal products in an effort to ensure productive and sustainable use of our natural resources and their conservation. The University through the Research Division is funding innovation proposals from both the students and the staff, and endeavours to encourage and protect such innovations through diverse means including the recently launched Intellectual Property Policy.

e) environmental

Exploitation of our natural resources in a non-sustainable manner is progressing fast with little efforts being secured to tame the depletion, or even replenish the resources. For instance, although the Kenya’s forest cover is shrinking at an alarming rate, it is becoming increasingly difficult to stem out the depletion due to socio-ethno-political fabric of our nation. This coupled with inadequate capacity (and will) to adopt new innovations such as green energy (solar, biogas etc) technologies have had a negative impact on the exploitation of natural resources for the benefit of Kenya. For instance, it is incomprehensible as to why tropical countries including Kenya with twelve hours of sunshine would fail to embrace solar energy while heavily relying on charcoal or kerosene which adversely affect the environment. Furthermore, Kenya has great potential to develop bio-resources for food, medicines, industrial and other products. There is need to develop capacity to undertake research and develop products from these resources in a sustainable way. In all its research undertakings, MKU shall seek to adopt the environmental protection guidelines such as the ones stipulated by National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). Thus, Research at the University will engage systems supporting sustainableinnovations that are clean and safe in order to safeguard the environment.

f) Legal

There is inadequate legal framework to protect patents, innovations, natural resources and bio-resources and to enforce patents. In order to regulate effectively, there is need for the government to assess the risks involved in research and development and then develop

embrace and appreciate the generated innovations. The University is also committed to plough back the benefits or research and innovations to the community through diverse means such as community outreach. The University has continued to open its arms to the society, and the School of Health Sciences has continued to offer regular medical camps to the surrounding communities and beyond. Any intercourse of the community and the University must be guided by clear national and international ethical ethical guidelines. The Research Division is therefore committed to develop the University’s ethical guidelines within the first year of implementation of this Strategic Plan. The Division will also seek to create public awareness on the benefits and shortcomings of its research findings.

d) technological

The World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report of 2006 noted that technological and scientific progress has been a major driver of the transformation of the world economy since World War II. Vision 2030 recognizes science, technology and innovation as the main driver for industrialization to enable Kenya achieve middle-income economy by the year 2030. TheUniversity will endeavour to develop technologies that will meet the socio-economic needs of the African continent. It will also create awareness in the community on the benefits of embracing these technologies and home-made solutions. In this regard, the University isundertaking research in herbal products in an effort to ensure productive and sustainable use of our natural resources and their conservation. The University through the Research Division is funding innovation proposals from both the students and the staff, and endeavours to encourage and protect such innovations through diverse means including the recently launched Intellectual Property Policy.

harmonized legislation based on national, regional and international regulations. In regard to the foregoing, the University has developed an Intellectual Property Rights Policy to protect inventions and innovations developed through research at the University. The University will continue to lobby for a comprehensive legal framework to protect innovations.

3.1.2 sWot analysisAnalysis of the internal and external environment, stakeholders as well as an analysis of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) was undertaken in order to fully understand the current potential of MKU Research Division. The findings are presented as follows.

a) strengths

The Research Division has the following strengths:

i) Goodwill support from managementii) Operational office and policies governing research and developmentiii) Established strong linkages, collaborations and partnershipsiv) Qualified personnel in researchv) The University has a good corporate imagevi) The Research Division has seed funding for researchvii) Ability to attract external funding

b) WeaknessesThe Division faces:

i) Inadequate funding for research and community serviceii) Inadequate funds for training staff in researchiii) Inadequate physical facilities and infrastructure for researchiv) Lack of a unique research programme (flagship brand) associated with the Universityv) Lack of diversified research programmesvi) Inadequate research personnelvii) Lack of a culture for undertaking researchviii) Lack of motivation to undertake researchix) Brain drain from the Universityx) Inadequate dissemination of research findings

c) opportunities

The Division has the following opportunities:

i) Increased demand for higher education hence more opportunities for research and innovation

ii) Improved ICT facilities for undertaking researchiii) Potential to collaborate/affiliate with other local and foreign institutions in researchiv) Potential to commercialize research findings and innovations

Page 14: researCH strateGiC PLan 2012 - 2018 Strategic plan.pdf · Chapter five outlines the implementation plan through a detailed implementation matrix for each of the strategic ... This

13

v) Legal frameworks and institutions such as KIPI for protecting research findings and innovations

vi) Funding opportunities from public and private institutions for researchvii) Changing tastes and preferences of consumers hence an opportunity to develop

innovations

d) threats

The Division faces the following threats:

i) Increased completion from other higher education providersii) Increased demand for distance learning where research is faced with challengesiii) Poor enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) by relevant authoritiesiv) Political dynamics that may affect research undertakingsv) High cost of attracting and retaining qualified staff in research

3.1.3 summary of the sWot analysis and interventionsThe SWOT Analysis shows that the University Research Division has consistently received support from the management in terms of goodwill and funding to support research activities. However the current funding is inadequate for conducting significant research and for the provision of relevant physical facilities and infrastructure. There is also lack of a culture for undertaking research at the University.

The Research Division will optimally exploit the opportunities in the external environment in order to fully implement the objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan. It will deal with the major weaknesses and threats by working closely with all the stakeholders involved in order to help create synergy and hence turn the weaknesses into strengths while taking advantage of the opportunities created.

In order to achieve its mission, the Research Division has identified the following interventions;i) Institutional strengthening and capacity development through fund-raising initiativesii) Search for a unique research programme/brand associated with the Universityiii) Sensitization of staff and students on the need to undertake researchiv) Identification and protection of patentable research findings and innovation before

publicationv) Provide support for the dissemination of research findings through publications, seminars

and workshopsvi) Exploring opportunities for networking and collaborations with the industry, other

universities and development partnersvii) Diversification into new research programme areasviii) Formulation of a community outreach policy to protect innovations

4.0 strateGiC MoDeL

4.1 strategic issuesa) research

There is need to prioritize the implementation of the Research Policy. To be of benefit to all the stakeholders, the current needs and priorities of the application of research and innovation should be demand-driven and user-oriented. The setting up of infrastructure for research is essential to encourage and revitalize staff and students to undertake research. It will also enhance the research capacity of staff and students. This will be accomplished by providing the required resources and equipment needed for research. There is need to involve the staff and students in undertaking research and also securing the participation of the end-users in research and innovation. This should be achieved through designing and implementing programmes thatensure relevant and adequate stakeholder participation in research and development as well as commercialization of the products developed. There is also need to encourage staff and students to publish their research findings. Towards this end, the Research Division will facilitate the protection and dissemination of the research findings.

b) Community outreach

There is need to develop and implement a Community Service and Outreach Policy. The policy will enhance the University’s capacity to provide community service. This will be done by conducting regular stakeholders’ forum including the end-users.

c) enterprise and innovation

The Research Division will promote the exploitation and protection of innovations and research findings. This will be accomplished through the establishment of science and industrial parks where research findings can be translated into products and commercialized. There will beincreased public awareness of innovations and research findings. The MKU IPR policy will need to be implemented to ensure the protection of intellectual property rights.

d) institutional Linkages

The Research Division recognizes the need to forge sustainable collaborations, partnerships andlinkages among stakeholders and development partners in training and research. In particular,collaborations in research and development activities between stakeholders and development partners have potential to bring benefits to all the parties concerned. Collaborations can help minimize costs and share risks and also help in opening access to each other’s markets where cross-border and international collaborations are involved. The role of the Research Division isto identify strategic partners and as such play a facilitator’s role. At the local level, mutual tapping into the strengths of each collaborating partner will not only leverage resources but also assist in capacity development occasioned by the learning opportunities involved. MKU is committed to implement the Institutional Linkage Policy.

5.2 resource requirements

5.2.2 Projected Financial requirementsThe Strategic objectives outlined in this plan will be attained through the associated strategies and activities. The financial requirements are summarized in the tables below.

The university Strategic Plan (2012-2018) has budgeted the amount indicated in column 3 for the strategic issues of the Research Division as indicated in Table 5.1. The projected cost for the strategic issues is given in column 2 and the financing gap is provided in column 4. The financing gap will be filled by a combination of strategies that will include enhanced allocation from the university, external fundraising, external project financing, collaboration synergies, e.t.c.

5.3 risks and MitigationIn view of the PESTEL analysis, it is evident that a number of risks can be associated with the plan implementation. Such risks are spread in a areas related to resources, operations, strategies and technology and can be traced to the following:

a) Resistance to the implementation of proposed programmes and activities by some stakeholders

b) Staff turnover, redeployment or shortages may deny some programme areas of the requisite skills, with the likelihood of affecting programme implementation and delivery of services

c) Inadequate funding or delayed, diverted or reduction of funds for the plan implementation

d) Resistance by stakeholders to adapt to technological changese) Resistance by stakeholders to be guided by the policies of researchf) Intensive competition from the collaborators

In order to mitigate the effects of the above mentioned risks, it will be necessary to ensure the optimal utilization of the resources available for research and community outreach and also maintain close consultation with its stakeholders. Proper and constant monitoring and evaluation of progress of activities would forestall failure in implementation.

6.1 Performance MonitoringIn order to ensure high quality in the delivery of its programmes, the Research Division will ensure that monitoring and evaluation is an essential process in managing and improving research and community outreach programmes. These processes will be an integral part of the Research Division programme implementation at all stages. Monitoring will be undertaken to establish whether a programme is showing any inadequacies. Data will be collected about the programme and analyzed regularly to ensure that there any problems that need action areaddressed. Through monitoring, the Research Division shall obtain valuable data that will give indication of the extent of success/failure of the programme implementation. This will therefore provide a quality control mechanism for a given programme.

6.2 Performance assessment and evaluationWhile monitoring will be an ongoing process to keep track of how a programme is performing, evaluation shall be undertaken periodically to assess the strengths and weaknesses of programmes, their capacities to achieve the goals assigned to them, and their impacts on those for whom they are intended to benefit. As such, evaluation will focus on among other things, the processes of the programmes, their outcomes and their intended impacts. It will give an overall sense of how each programme is working towards the attainment of associated goals and objectives and whether a need exists at a point in time for certain aspects of the programme to be modified to increase efficiency and effectiveness.
