22 to 24 June 2022, Daystar University, Nairobi Campus
The above conference seeks to appreciate the nexus between research and development. It is believed that, the concept of development and in particular sustainable development is all encompassing and therefore cuts across all spheres of life.
Development in relation to human beings is therefore a sine quo non for enjoyment of life. Research therefore becomes a critical tool in different spheres of life for generating new ideas to realize development as multidimensional phenomenon.
