Director’s Summary
The active performance of the entire IDS staff is reflected in this 2014 Annual Report through joint action involving top university management and national leaders. The dedication to fulfill our research, teaching, consultancy and outreach obligations is manifested in staff activities ranging from collaboration and nurturing partnerships and post graduate students to publication in high end journals. Throughout the year, we strived to actualize our mission, which is to generate development knowledge, promote debate and encourage the utilization of research findings in postgraduate teaching and training and in shaping the growth of development thinking, theory and practice.
Engagement with policy makers is a task which remains foreign to many classical higher learning institutions, in particular conventional departments. To the IDS, this is a core business which we continue to demonstrate by working with top policy makers and practitioners. In March 2014, the former Vice Chancellor of the University of Nairobi, Prof. George Magoha led the IDS to Germany to establish research link with Rhein-Sieg University, and in April, 2014, the Chief Justice of Kenya Willy Mutunga was the IDS chief guest when we launched our book on `Kenya: Democracy and Political Participation’. A book produced through collaboration with Society for International Development (SID). Before the year ended in December, we were lucky to once more have the Chief Justice launch yet another book on `Kenya: The Struggles for a New Constitutional Order’ co-edited by Dr. Godwin Murunga of IDS.
Besides the two book launches, a number of IDS staff published in journals and books, with others being both publishers and book editors as shared in this Annual Report. The IDS further showed its prowess in development and nation building by being in technical committees, review panels, boards, task forces and editorial boards. These activities contributed to ensure the University of Nairobi maintains its top rank position nationally and regionally and continues to uphold its missions. To cap it all, the IDS received a special mention during the last graduation ceremony on the 5th December, 2014 for being among the top ten scorers in developing research proposals and contributing to the University of Nairobi research grant.
Research, which is our main pillar, is alive as highlighted in the number of on-going projects, including our Afrobarometer surveys which are carried out every two years in the entire Eastern African region. The last survey was in 2014 and has come up with important findings for policy response in Kenya. The survey reveals among others that citizens have mixed score for devolution, poor participation and are opposed to Kenya Defence Forces withdrawal from Somalia and from the ICC. Another IDS study on innovative approaches to youth employment concludes that the policy aimed at addressing youth unemployment should not use one-fit-all solution. There are youth who are in school/training, those employed within the formal economy, informal economy and those unemployed. These are unique sub sets of the youth who should be researched, understood and appropriate programmes designed for engaging each category.
Our Annual Report would be incomplete without mentioning our exclusive post graduate student population. The IDS has students drawn from across disciplines and universities, this brings into the IDS not only our multidisciplinary flag, but also holistic knowledge that informs development globally. This is further strengthened by the many international research scholars who are affiliated to the IDS during their work in Kenya. Together with the IDS staff and students, this pool of academicians spread the IDS wings beyond Kenya, and Africa into the entire globe. It is this wealth of activities and outputs that the IDS 2014 Annual Report shares with stakeholders with the hope that the IDS wings will embrace more stakeholders for building the IDS and the UoN brand.

It uses seminar series, workshops, and publications to disseminate and get feedback on research results. The publications include policy briefs, working papers, discussion papers occasional papers, and books and journal articles published in collaboration with other like-minded institutions.
The IDS has a faculty status which enables it to offer postgraduate studies in development issues, and to collaborate with others. The Institute has two academic programmes: Master of Arts in Development Studies and a PhD programme. Through these programmes the IDS builds capacity of learners, including imparting relevant knowledge for conceptualizing and analyzing development issues.

2. Courses Offered
1) MA PROGRAMME: MASTER OFARTS IN DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
The Institute for Development Studies' master's programme addresses development issues using theories and methodological approaches of various academic disciplines. The courses, however, assume some formal study of practical experience in the social sciences. The curriculum takes advantage of the varied academic backgrounds and experience of IDS staff to offer a programme characterised by theoretical rigour, emphasis on research methodology, people orientation and an interdisciplinary issue-based approach.
The postgraduate programme in development studies prepares students already grounded in the social and physical sciences to deal creatively and effectively with development problems. All courses take a multi-disciplinary approach; all combine theory with practical application. The problems of development in Africa are stressed. Every course includes examples taken from the Kenyan situation.
The core of the programme consists of four courses taken by every student. Courses 501 and 502, Development Management, provide the theoretical underpinning for all course modules. Courses 503 and 504, Research Methods and Techniques, give students the technical skills required to gather, analyze and present data on development problems.
The following sixteen (16) courses were offered in 2014
