2. Historical overview and current situation

Historical description of your departmenta) Baseline. Briefly describe the situation at your department before you joined the EAUMP

network. (Including postgraduate training, research activity, available facilities, book and journal access, internet connection, funding, staff capacity, conference attendance and available networks for scientific collaboration).

Before we joined EAUMP network, the following can be reported: (i) Postgraduate training – was low with only 2 M.Sc. scholarships available and no sandwich

programmes at PhD level. (ii) Research activity – this was low key and concentrating mainly in few areas and with Pure

Mathematics mostly affected. (iii) Facilities (eg. Books, journals, internet connection, computers, etc.) – were extremely low and

lack of laptop computers. (iv) Funding – not available. (v) Conference attendance and networks for scientific collaboration – none existence.

b) With the help of your librarian, provide a brief historical account of the development of the Departmental library since you joined the network.

The Departmental library was non-existent prior to joining EAUMP and currently there are a number of books and journals as a result of donation from EU and the rest have been bought using ISP funds. These textbooks are mainly for graduate studies in Mathematics.

c) What were the main challenges/difficulties facing your department since you joined the network? (Internal and external bottlenecks or hindrances for increased capacity and development).

The main challenges/difficulties were as follows:(i) Human resource/staff – The faculty consisted of a higher percentage of staff without

PhD(ii) Research profile and publication – was extremely low and concentrated on

local/regional journals(iii) Training opportunities, scholarships and conferences – was extremely low and some

cases non-existent. (iv) Specialized areas in Mathematics (eg. Financial Mathematics, Algebraic Geometry,

etc) – Were not well developed.

5. The EAUMP Network and the ISP collaboration

a) How and when did your department get involved with the EAUMP network? Briefly describe.

The EAUMP programme commenced in 2003 with the aims of alleviating the dismal state of Mathematics in Eastern Africa. It had been noted that the state of Mathematics in this region was very poor and so corrective measures were needed urgently alleviate its status. Thus EAUMP aims at enhancing capacity building as well as initiating and strengthening research activities and postgraduate training in Mathematics within the region. It was envisaged that EAUMP will promote professional collaboration among participating institutions.

Membership of EAUMP consists of the Department of Mathematics from University of Dar es Salaam, Makerere University and University of Nairobi. These universities are task with the responsibility of extending training to other universities in their respective countries. The activities of the programme are mainly sponsored by the International Science Program (ISP), Sweden. The grant is given to the network and not assigned to individual members of the network.

b) What has been the nature of the ISP/EAUMP support? What does it include for your department?

The programme consists of five basic components namely:

i) Enhancement of postgraduate training with special emphasis to PhD training as a way of improving capacity building in universities in the region and training advanced Mathematics researchers needed in other social economic sectors in the region. Training programmes will be run jointly by staff from collaborating universities. Since there is a limited pool of PhD holders in the region a portion of resources under this programme will be utilised to support M.Sc. training especially in areas where the participating departments have an acute shortage.

ii) Establishing and strengthening collaborative research in Mathematics areas of interest in the region. These collaborative research must be supported by a strong postgraduate programmes developed in (a) above. Here staff exchanges and research visits will be conducted within and outside the region.

iii) Strengthening the collaborating Mathematics departments in terms of equipment and literature in order to carry out activities in (a) and (b) above.

iv) Organizing with Eastern Africa Summer Schools in collaboration with ICTP with lecturers coming from Sweden, Italy, Canada, US and Madagascar. These schools are meant to enrich postgraduate students and the young lecturers in areas of Mathematics which are not well covered in participating departments’ curricula. The participants write exams and earn credits which are transferred to their respective universities.

v) Development of resources for the collaborating Mathematics Departments. These resources include teaching and learning materials, research databases and maintenance of departments websites, among others.

c) What would you say that the ISP support to the network has contributed with to your department? (Both in material and immaterial terms).

The expected results of the programme have been achieved:

(i) Improved Mathematics publications profile in the region (ii) Increased number of Mathematics PhD holders in the region (iii) Improved human and non human resources of participating institutions (iv) Introduction of new Mathematics areas in the curriculum of participating institutions. (v) The network will train a critical mass of researchers and aim to be self reliance.

10 (17)


d) What are your experiences of the network collaboration? What has worked well and what can be improved?The following areas have improved reasonably: (i) Capacity building – in terms of training of MSc and PhD candidates. (ii) Introduction of Postdoc research positions. (iii) Research funds and publication fee. (iv) Acquisition of reference textbooks, journal subscription and computers. (v) Conferences and summer schools. (vi) Exposure to international scientists, visiting professors and research collaborations

e) How can the ISP support be improved to benefit you more?

(i) Increased funding to cover the areas in (d) above so as to allow for increased activities especially at PhD level training.

(ii) Enhanced staff exchanges (involving teaching at graduate level).

6. Funding

a) What funding for postgraduate activities does your department currently have besides ISP? Please list the funding received for year 2015 in USD below. (Including university funding, and national, regional and international funding).

Source of grant (Besides from ISP) Amount/CurrencyUniversity of Nairobi USD 9,000LMS-AMMSI USD 2,000

b) What activities is ISP support mainly used and needed for and what can be done without ISP support/with other sources of funding?

(i) Capacity building – in terms of training of MSc and PhD candidates. (ii) Support for Postdoc research positions. (iii) Research funds and publication fee. (iv) Acquisition of reference textbooks, journal subscription and computers. (v) Support for conferences and summer schools. (vi) Support for visiting professors and research collaborations None of these activities will continue without ISP support.

c) Does your department have an “exit” strategy if and when ISP phases out the support? Please describe.

No exit strategy. And, since the government reduced funding to universities the phasing out of the support will affect us drastically.

d) How would you describe the government’s attitude towards mathematics? (Highly supportive, supportive, weakly supportive, or unsupportive? Briefly describe).

Weakly supportive. The government attitude and support is at the primary/basic Mathematics. The little support given by government is only towards the training of primary and secondary teachers of Mathematics.

e) How would you describe the university administration’s attitude towards mathematics? (Highly supportive, supportive, weakly supportive, or unsupportive? Briefly describe).

Supportive. However, the university is seriously affected by reduced funding from government.
