From April 16-19, IPA participated in a Data Validation Workshop organized by Kenya's National Commission for Science, Technology, and Innovation (NACOSTI), the government agency mandated to regulate and assure quality in the science, technology and innovation sectors. Under the theme of “Effective Reporting for Quality Research and Development in Kenya," the workshop focused on implementing a research annual reporting template for Kenya's registered research institutions. IPA Kenya Operations Coordinator, Pauline Mwatsuma, spoke at the event. Participants were drawn from private and public research institutions in Kenya including Kenya Water Institute, the Turkana Basin Research Institute, Mpala Research Centre, the British Institute in Eastern Africa, and the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute.
