Support to Ministry of Education Higher Education expansion needs with the involvement of commercial banks. AFD is setting-up a concessional credit line to Kenyan commercial banks to support universities infrastructure investments. The eligible projects to this credit line will be infrastructure investments – such as campus, laboratories, equipment, lecture hall, hospitals- in priority academic domains where workforce development is the most needed according to Vision 2030 and private sector representatives.
A Steering Committee (SC) chaired by MOEST and composed of representative from CUE, NACOSTI and National Treasury (NT) will be in charge of technical and scientific assessment of the projects proposed by the universities, based on transparent eligibility criteria and clear evaluation matrix
