Entrepreneurs in Action (EiA) were commissioned by the McKinney Rogers Foundation (MR Foundation) to deliver a business challenge programme to eight scholars from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in East Africa.   The challenge was set by Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and hosted by Strathmore University in Nairobi.

The scholars worked well together throughout the week utilising research and problem solving skills to find innovative solutions to the challenge.  The week culminated in a presentation in the boardroom of KCB to senior executives on the final day.

"I am humbled to stand before you, this experience has transformed me.  This programme has given me the chance to go out and make a difference," are the views of one scholar.

Robert Ochola, Divisional Director of Strategy, Research and Innovation at KCB commented, "I was extremely impressed with the speed by which the team worked with Derek on a difficult problem, dealt with it adequately and produced an excellent presentation."
