KCA University has been awarded the Gold Tier certification in Good Financial Grant Practice (GFGP) ARS 1651:2018 by KPMG Kenya. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to financial transparency, accountability and governance; reinforcing our position as a trusted institution in higher education and research funding. This accolade affirms that the University meets the highest international standards for financial grant management.

The Good Financial Grant Practice (GFGP) ARS 1651:2018 is the world’s first international standard for financial grant management. Developed by the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) with support from UKAID, Wellcome Trust, UK Research and Innovation, the IKEA Foundation, the African Union, and other global partners; this standard provides a structured framework to ensure that institutions adhere to the best practices in financial management, human resources, procurement and governance.

The GFGP standard consists of four tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum—each building upon the requirements of the previous level. By achieving the Gold Tier, KCA University has demonstrated an exceptional level of financial governance and risk management, making us an attractive partner for global grant-making organizations.

This recognition also positions the University as a preferred partner for research funding, collaborations and investments from global grantors while opening up more resources for research, innovation and student support programs.

KCA University remains committed to upholding these best practices for financial management practices, expanding research and innovation funding and strengthening partnerships with international donors. The University remains committed to empowering students, faculty, and researchers through financially sound and transparent institutional practices.
