Plans are underway to establish the African Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Operations in Resource Management and Food Supply, which is part of the partnership between the University of Nairobi and Kühne Foundation.

The partnership framework stipulates that business courses in logistics and operations management will be developed by working with faculty members from the University of Nairobi (UoN) and the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), thanks to the funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Global leaders have called for a fair deal for Africa at the COP26 conference in Glasgow. This was the clarion call by the leaders, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta, at the launch of the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) “State and Trends in Adaptation in Africa Report 2021 – How Adaptation Can Make Africa Safer, Greener and More Prosperous in a Warming World” (STA21).

The University of Nairobi’s Department of Linguistics, Languages and Literature, the Italian Embassy and the Italian cultural institute collaborated on a conference dubbed "From the Dark Wood to Paradise: Dante Alighieri at the University of Nairobi."

The initiative was part of the "Week of the Italian Language in the World" with the objective of introducing Dante Alighieri and his poetics to the students of the Faculty of Arts.
