Directorate of Resource Mobilization and Strategic Initiatives

Financial resources and human capital are core to the achievement of institutional performance targets. Efficiency is basically, dependent on how physical infrastructure, financial resources, and human capital - are deployed within an organization. However, the rapid expansion of university education in Kenya exerts immense pressure on government funding. The realities in the past two decades, point to manifestly overstretched faculty, inadequate teaching facilities, and diminished research portfolio hence a felt need to diversify income sources to the University.

Directorate of Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL)

The Directorate of Open, Distance and e-Learning was formed in July 2020 out of the realization that there is a need to enrich and broaden the learning experience of all students within the University. This has also been driven largely by the desire of the University to establish alternative and innovative opportunities to complement the face-to-face teaching and learning methods. The Directorate works with all Schools to enable them to deliver teaching and learning to all students within the University.

Income Generation Units (IGU) Directorate

The University of Eldoret has increased in size of its operations since its inception in 2013. For these operations to run smoothly, adequate finances are needed.

The IGU Directorate, therefore, has been established to supplement the university's financial base and bridge the budgetary deficit.
