Incentive structure and efficiency in the Kenyan civil service
(University of Nairobi,College of humanities and social sciences,, 2001)Kenya’s civil service expanded rapidly after independence, becoming by far the largest in East Africa. Following economic decline since the 1980s, however, it became difficult for the government to sustain a large and ... -
Private Sector Investment in Education and Training: A Case of Tertiary Education in Kenya
(University of Nairobi,College of humanities and social sciences,, 2005-12)This paper assesses the current status of private sector participation in education investment and makes policy recommendations. A cross-sectional research d esign was used in this study. An in-depth descriptive ... -

Private Sector Investment in Primary and Secondary Education in Kenya: Issues, Challenges and Recommendations
(University of Nairobi,Department of Economics,, 2007-12)Although many governments are committed to implementing education goals, including Education for All (EFA) and Universal Primary Education (UPE), they are constrained by availability of resources. Private sector involvement ... -

Solution of transonic flows by an integro-differential equation method
(University of Nairobi.School of Mathematics, 1978)Solutions of steady transonic flow past a two-dimensional airfoil are obtained from a singular integro-differential equation which involves a tangential derivative of the perturbation velocity potential. Subcritical flows ... -

Duality, Forecasting and Selection of Autoregressive Moving Average Models
(University of Nairobi.School of Mathematics, 2002)Based on both duality in time between time series processes and lag transformation, we define duality in causality, invertibility for mixed Autoregressive moving average ARMA(p,q) models. We construct expressions, in ... -
