Who
we Are
Kenya
Institute Of Development Studies Is A Middle Level Training Institution Founded
On Strong Belief Of Capacity Through Imparting Practice Knowledge And Skills To
Spur Economic And Social Growth. The Institution Evolved From Social Economic
Consult, A Consultancy That Has Been Carrying Out Research On Developing
Issues.
The
Idea Of Setting Up A Training Center Came Up After Research Revealed A Huge Gap
On Middle Level Development Agents. A Huge Number Of Qualified Students Are
Locked Out Of The Institutions Of Higher Learning Due To Limited Facilities.
K.I.D.S. was started to create opportunities for these students.
