Kasneb launched a new corporate

strategic plan to steer its operations

for the next five years that will

conform with the changing world of

work.

The launch of the 6th Corporate

Strategic Plan (2022-2027) that

coincides with the as it celebrated

the 53rd anniversary provides robust

strategies to facilitate the renewal of

Kasneb against a backdrop of a myriad

of disruptions that have presented both

challenges and opportunities to

business and global economies.

The strategic plan takes cognisance of

the global agenda defined through the

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In particular, Kasneb has mainstreamed

Goal number four which advocates for

inclusive and equitable quality

education and promotion of lifelong

learning opportunities for all.

“The initiatives in the strategic plan

come at an opportune time to shape the

future strategic direction and better

positioning of Kasneb in the global

arena. Lately, we have witnessed a

world where organisations have to keep

reinventing themselves to operate in

the prevailingcompetitive markets.

This strategic plan enables Kasneb to

proactively revolutionalise service

delivery through adoption of

digitalization,” says Dr. Julius Muia,

Principal Secretary, National Treasury.

According to the PS, the initiative to

set the strategic direction for the

next five years marks the beginning of

a journey towards delivering quality

examinations and services as well as

enhancing Kasneb’s sustainability

against the backdrop of various

uncertainties and disruptions such as

Impact of COVID-19, National and global

economic uncertainties, Stiff global,

competition, Evolving generations

leading to new demands and Evolution of

technology among other developments.

The professional examination body also

launched, three initiatives geared

towards the implementation of our

strategic plan which included the

awarding of accreditation certificate

by Kenya National Qualifications

Authority (KNQA) for its

qualifications, Award of accreditation

certificates to two (2) institutions in

Rwanda and five (5) institutions in

Kenya and a Memorandum of Understanding

with Strathmore Research and

Consultancy Centre for development of

study materials.

“Kasneb has continued to play a vital

role in developing business

professionals who have made valuable

contributions globally. We are

therefore intent on transforming

business professionals through

examinations, certification,

accreditation, research, innovation and

consultancy,” said Dr. Nancy Muriuki,

Chairperson, Kasneb board.

She says it is in the spirit of this

mandate that Kasneb continually

assesses, reviews and improves its

syllabuses and processes to ensure that

the quality of the examinations meet

customer requirements. Many of our

alumni are key decision makers in

different sectors all over the world.

The qualifications offered by Kasneb

are benchmarked internationally to

ensure they are responsive to emerging

global trends.

“Awarding of accreditation by KNQA will

enormously add value in the

coordination and harmonization of

education, training, assessment and

quality assurance of all qualifications

awarded in the country,” said Dar,

Nicholas Letting’, secretary and CEO

Kasneb.

He also explained that awarding of the

accreditation certificates to training

institutions in Kenya and Rwanda widens

the much needed framework for national

development, which requires

professional institutions to transform

the country into a knowledge based and

middle-income economies.

The CEO also noted that signing a

Memorandum of Understanding with the

Strathmore Research and Consultancy

Centre (SRCC) is primed to harness the

development of study materials while we

close the gap in professional skills

and competences.
