SOCIAL WORK AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Since its inception in 1976 the social work program (B.A. Degree) has been administratively under the auspices of the Department of Sociology but with its own Program Coordinator. The Programme was initiated within the Department of Sociology in response to a request from an Inter-Ministerial Working Committee on Social Work Education in Kenya. The Inter-Ministerial Committee included the following representatives: The Kenya Institute of Administration, The Kenya National Association of Social Workers, The National Council of Social Services, The Ministry of Housing and Social Services, The Ministry of Finance and Planning, The Ministry of Education, The Directorate of Personnel and The Department of Sociology, University of Nairobi. Following its study of the social welfare needs of Kenya at that time projected that the country would need twenty to twenty-five (20-25) social work graduates per year to meet the existing manpower needs.
