Murang’a University of Technology (MUT) is proud to announce that it has acquired the Good Financial Grant Practice (GFGP) award at the Gold Tier level and thus joins the teeming list of institutions that excel in the area of financial governance and grant management.
The GFGP certification, developed by the African Academy of Sciences, is the world’s first international standard for financial governance in research. This milestone marks further investment by MUT in assuring transparency, accountability, and excellence in the management of research grants and funding.
Gold Tier certification is a hallmark for MUT and places it on a higher pedestal as far as financial governance is concerned in the academic and research community. It will strengthen the capability of the university to harness high levels of R&D funding and attract international investors into the university. It will, hence, give the university the chance to further scale its research impact towards transformative innovations.
This was a laudable achievement made possible through the Catalyze Impact Initiative, which supports African institutions to strengthen their abilities in financial and grant management. This initiative, powered by #IamAPHRC, has been incredibly useful in walking institutions through stringent certification processes, enabling them to meet the highest standards in grant management and financial accountability.
The GFGP certification puts additional weight to the reputation of MUT as a reliable partner in research and development initiatives. By complying with standards of global financial governance, the university has proven its capacity to manage grants effectively, thereby paving the way for collaboration with international organizations and stakeholders.
Murang’a University of Technology is indeed growing and this certification reaffirmed their commitment to promoting innovation, accountability, and excellence. The University remains steadfast in pursuing its research agenda, partnering, and coming up with solutions that would make an impact to Kenya and beyond.
