Provision of Consultancy to Undertake a Baseline Survey for the Establishment of a Knowledge Management Information System
The Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology has the mandate of spearheading the transformation of Kenya into a knowledge economy. The mandate consists of two main strategic thrusts: the Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) and the human resource development in the higher education mandate.
The mission of the Ministry emphasizes the promotion of higher education and integration of science and technology into the production system of the economy.
To successfully achieve this mission the ministry needs to develop an effective knowledge management system to ensure that the right knowledge related information is available to the key Science, Technology and Innovation Institutions/Organizations at the right time and in the right form. The Ministry intends to develop a Knowledge Information System with a knowledge sharing platform and deductive databases.
The deductive databases system will have capabilities to define rules which can infer additional information from the facts that are stored in the databases through artificial intelligence and data mining.
The Ministry has been relying on the Education Management Information System (EMIS) installed in the Ministry of Education. However the EMIS is very limited in terms of the information and capacity to transform information into knowledge.
The Knowledge Management Information System will break down the information access barrier within the Ministry and the key Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) Institutions.
