Enhancing Adoption of Competence -based Agricultural Curricula in Higher Education Institutions in Kenya and Uganda
Transformation of University Education towards Competence Based Education (CBE)
We stand out
The project name AgrCBE derives from the background of the project of testing and piloting of the CBE tools which is to be in early adopter Universities Gulu, Bishop Stuart, Egerton and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. These institutions partnered in another EACEA project called AgriSCALE which ended in 2024.
In that project, the gap in Competence Based Education governance was identified, and the discussions with national Higer Education Institutions governance gave birth to the project AgrCBE in 2025, also funded by the European union.
Therefore, it is need-based to help National Higher Education Councils in Kenya and Uganda meet their regulatory tasks in managing Competence Based Education (CBE).

Our main objective is to strengthen Kenya and Uganda education governance authorities’ capacity to support competence-based, work life relevant & inclusive higher education for societal and environmental development .
This project serves as an opportunity to share experiences among partners, internally, regionally, and internationally.
It aims to help refresh and/ or upscale expertise, tools and methods that govern Higher education institutions to systematically embed, and structure participation of industry/ societal partners to Competence Based Education planning & implementation processes through regulative guidance.
In the end, it will contribute to escalate the HEIs’ industry linkages to provide experiential, practical learning, to strengthen and deepen cross-societal networks for further collaborative work.
