Why train in Nairobi

Nairobi hosts UNEP, UN-Habitat and many regional offices, with flights across Africa.

Risalat has scheduled 41 programmes in Nairobi, and the subjects run most often here are climate change and environment, audit and internal control and monitoring and evaluation.

Sessions combine short inputs, case studies and group work on participants' own files, so officials and project staff leave with work they can use. Courses in Nairobi are open to participants from any country, and suit delegations from across the Africa region.

What teams can learn in Nairobi

Nairobi provides a practical environment for public sector professionals to observe institutional decentralisation, public sector modernisation, and regional infrastructure delivery. Visiting officials can study Kenya's devolution framework, which distributes administrative and fiscal responsibilities across national and county governments. The city hosts national institutions and major infrastructure developments, including the standard gauge railway, geothermal energy expansion managed by public utilities, and regional transport corridor projects. In governance and public service delivery, Kenya is recognised for implementing the Huduma Kenya programme, which consolidates citizen services through one-stop centres, as well as digital revenue systems and the integration of mobile money into public finance management and social protection initiatives.

Programmes focusing on digital public service delivery, county devolution, and infrastructure project management suit Nairobi best because of Kenya's established reforms in these areas.

A programme week in Nairobi

Participants usually arrive the day before the programme through Jomo Kenyatta (NBO), are met at the airport and settle into the hotel. Sessions run from about 9:00 to 16:00 local time (GMT+3), with practical work on the participants' own cases each day. Where the programme includes one, a field or study visit takes place mid-week, and a city tour and a welcome dinner give the group time to know each other. On the last day each participant presents an action plan and receives a certificate that anyone can verify online.

To join from abroad, register and complete payment at least 30 days before the start; the invitation letter for the visa is issued after registration, and the free Visa Check shows what your passport needs for Kenya.
