Proceedings of the First Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute (KETRI) Internal Review (2nd to 5th June 1992)

Abstract

KETRI has the mandate to " carry out research into all aspects that would eventually lead to the effective control of human and animal trypanosomiasis, and to effective reclamation of tsetse- infested lands". In light of this mandate, KETRI drew up a strategic plan of action during the years 1990 to 2000, which serves as a guide to focusing Research and Development (R&D) activities towards achievement of the set objectives. The KETRI's Annual Internal Review is a self-assessment exercise by the R&D team that enables them determine how well they have fared in the past years and to prioritise future activities in view of the ever-dwindling resources. In addition it provides an opportunity to re- evaluate the work-force and make recommendations on areas that require strengthening. The 1992 Annual Internal Review was the first one to be held at KETRI. This particular review served as an experiment whose observations will be used to improve future ones. This booklet should be viewed, by those who use it, as a guide and not a source of all the facts. As such, lots of details from the various presentations have been left out. It is hoped that the 1993 Annual Internal Review will be even better.
