About The Directorate of Advancement
Introduction
The Directorate of University Advancement serves the University by building and strengthening relationships with diverse constituencies that encourage investment in and support to the university in its programs and initiatives. The office endeavors to promote and develop support services for the University.
The current functional areas include:
- Planning and Development (Fundraising);
- Events and Facilities.
The Office works closely with the Academic Linkages directorate, Research department, University Consultancy, and Faculties. The office also seeks to maintain a coordinated resource mobilization and implementation of prioritized projects in the satellite campuses.
Objectives of the directorate include:
- To increase awareness of the positive impact the University has on the community, church, nation and the AMECEA region and beyond;
- To strengthen the sense of community, connection and loyalty between CUEA and its stakeholders;
- To increase the value that stakeholders place on the ways CUEA fulfills its mission of quality research, teaching and community service;
- To enhance CUEA’s ability to attract and sustain the resources it needs to continue to be successful;
- To provide an alternative source of revenue for CUEA.
The Planning and Development Department was set up in 2004. The Department is established on the premise that development goes beyond fundraising to planning and communications. The functional operations are guided by the following basic objectives:
- To ensure that an up to date database of donors is maintained,
- To make a follow-up of fundraiser activities two weeks after the event,
- To progressively develop and implement fundraising programs for the University’s development projects,
- To organize market strategies for the University that attracts funding by developing resource mobilization proposals.
The University launched Cardinal Otunga Scholarship Programme (COS) program in 2005. Basic intention was to honour one of the Founding Fathers of the University. This department coordinates this annual event held once a year in the first week of September.
