Kenya Yearbook Editorial Board (KYEB) and the Kenya National Commission for UNESCO (KNATCOM) on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at enhancing collaboration between the two institutions.
The signing took place at KYEB’s headquarters in Upper Hill, Nairobi, and was officiated by KYEB CEO Lilian Kimeto and KNATCOM’s Acting Secretary General/CEO, Dr James Njogu.
Ms Kimeto stated that the engagement is strategic and will enable KYEB and KNATCOM to disseminate information on education, sciences, culture and sports, among other areas of interest.
“Our work is mainly to document Government initiatives and put them into context to enhance public awareness. We will speak about the successes of KNATCOM and the areas they focus on through our mandate,” she said.
She expressed gratitude to Dr Njogu for supporting the process that saw the two agencies sign a structured cooperation framework.
Dr Njogu highlighted that the MoU will enable the two institutions to bolster resilience by leveraging each other’s strengths.
“We have plenty of history and information to document. This MoU gives us an opportunity to work with KYEB in telling our story. I appreciate this moment,” he said.
KYEB is mandated to enhance Government communication through the documentation of its initiatives and programmes.
KNATCOM, on the other hand, promotes Kenya’s national interests in UNESCO and UNESCO’s international interests in Kenya, regionally and globally.
