The Arava International Centre for Agricultural Training (AICAT) Open Day was held from 27th Jan 2019 to 1st Feb 2019 in Israel. The Dean Agriculture, Prof. George Chemining’wa and Ms. Ann Nkoidila from the Advancement Office attended the open day.

 

The purpose of the Open Day is to tour the different farm sites where students are attached to and get a feel of the kind of hands-on agricultural farming experience they are receiving. UoN sent 15 students to Israel for the 2^nd cohort in June 2018 and they are bound to return home after their 11 months training in July 2019.

 

• AICAT Cohort III applications

 

Based on the five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Government of Kenya and the State of Israel, UoN is expected to send two more cohorts of students to Israel (2019/2020).  The 2019 selection will be the third cohort of students to be sent to Israel in July 2019.
