On the 8th of January, a team from Rongo University and the University of Bremen (left to right: Wycliffe Ogaga, Steve Oloo, Prof. Jonathan Mulwa, Vivian Harberts, Peter Kaune) visited the three participating secondary schools to do a site inspection in Homa Bay, Kenya. The aim of the site visits was to determine the requirements for the upcoming installation of photovoltaic and IT equipment. Many schools lack electrical installations, power supply and the necessary teacher skills and training to deal with the challenges of the newly-implemented competence-based curriculum (CBC) in Kenya.
The project officially kicked off with meetings between all partners on the 9th and 10th of January. Representatives, associate partners and work package leaders introduced their organizations, presented the project management, deliverables and milestones as well as discussed timeframes and responsibilities within the project.
All project partners are looking forward to this fruitful cooperation and on supporting the local community of Homa Bay.
