KENET conducted a successful Network Management and Bandwidth Monitoring Training from, 28th July to August 1, 2015. The training was conducted at the KENET Training room located at University of Nairobi. The class had 25 participants from 24 KENET member institutions. The training was funded by Google and KENET.
