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.
