Item Proceedings of the Fourth KETRI Internal Review, 5th -9th June 1995(Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute, 1995) Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute; Omuse, J.K. (Chairman); Ndung'u, J.M. (Rapporteur General); Alusi, P.M.; Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research InstituteThe Fourth Internal Review marked a period of five years since the Strategic Plan was written, and therefore a mid-term review of the Strategic Plan. During the review, a detailed analysis of programmes was carried out and priorities were either re-defined, removed or others added. This formed the basis of reviewing of the Strategic Plan, leading to production of the revised version. The proceedings are set out according to programmes, for which the original priorities are indicated. These are followed by abstracts on work carried out over the last year, and then achievements over the last five years. At the end the review is summarised and recommendations given. Seminars presented at KETRI and publications by KETRI scientists for the year under review are also included.Item Proceedings of the Third KETRI Internal Review, 6th-10th June 1994(Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute, 1994) Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute; Omuse, J.K. (Chairman); Ndung'u, J.M. (Rapporteur General); Alusi, P.M.; Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research InstituteThe Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute (KETRI) was established in 1977, following the demise of the East African Community. It has a mandate "to carry out research in to all aspects that would eventually lead to the effective control of human and animal trypanosomiasis, and to effective reclamation of tsetse infested lands." In the last decade, KETRIS emphasis was infrastructure and staff development as part of its efforts to get a critical mass of researchers to be able to carry out research in fairly well equipped surroundings. In 1990, KETRI drew up a Strategic Plan to help pave its work to the year 2000. The document identified gaps in knowledge about various aspects of trypanosomiasis and its tsetse vector. It described work that was on-going to help solve some of the problems identified, and isolated programme areas and priorities for each programme, forming the basis for the future activities. Following on the Strategic Plan, KETRI has been carrying out regular annual internal scientific reviews, which act as self- assessment exercises. During such reviews, it is determined whether the objectives that had been set are being realised. The reviews have proved an excellent opportunity to define new research areas and to change approaches to research, in the face of new developments during the period under review and resource availability, while at the same time harmonising overall research management in the institute. The third internal scientific review, which has led to the production of these proceedings, was held from 6th to 10th June 1994. The proceedings are in the form of abstracts under each scientific programme, with conclusions and recommendations at the end of the abstracts. A list of seminars held at KETRI and publications for the period May 1993 to September 1994 included at the end.
