KENET successfully held a training on Scalable Campus Network from February 24-28^th, 2020. The training was conducted at the KENET training room located at University of Nairobi and had a total of 24 participants from 21 KENET member Institutions. The training was primarily aimed at equipping network/system administrators and ICT infrastructure managers from KENET member TVETs and Teaching Hospitals with the necessary skills to administer a campus network effectively

The participants strengthened their knowledge and skills in the areas of VLAN implementation, scalable designs of their networks, optimizing network functionality, network visibility using open-source tools for monitoring and management. The participants also gained knowledge on the importance of securing their networks and effectively sensitizing their end users on guarding and mitigating against attacks.

Q&A- Using Big Data for Malaria Elimination in Africa

“As long as predators exist, preys will thrive. As long as drugs and vaccines exist, diseases will thrive. The fight is therefore not against disease emergence but resistance to treatment and control.” This magnetic headline in Kevin Kum Esoh’s blog captures his interest and lays bare his passion for inspecting human genetic variations with resistance to severe malaria. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 92% of malaria cases were reported in Africa in 2017, making the Continent have a high share of Malaria infections.

Epidemiological Modelling Workshop Participants Benefit from eduroam Wireless Internet

Access to eduroam (wireless network) granted by KENET successfully coordinated the epidemiological modelling workshop held on April 8-11, 2019 at the University of Nairobi Institute of Tropical Infectious Disease (UNITID). The workshop jointly organized by the South African Centre for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (SACEMA), UNITID and Washington State University (WSU) required high-speed Internet for statistical computing and epidemiological modelling.
