Kasneb haslaunched 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 prevailing
competitive 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.
