Today, Maasai Mara University Vice-Chancellor, Prof. P. Aloo-Obudho, held a meeting with Mr. Jackson Ole Mpario, CEO of the Maa Economic Bloc (MAAEB), who paid a courtesy call to the University.

The engagement also highlighted the important role of Maasai Mara University in generating research, scientific evidence and reliable data to inform evidence-based policymaking, guide development planning, and support sustainable socio-economic development across the region.
MAAEB seeks to bring member counties together to unlock the region’s economic potential, promote inclusive and sustainable growth, and safeguard the rich cultural heritage of the Maa community.
