KARI Board of Management

The Board of Management (BoM) is legal body answerable to the Government, through the parent responsible Ministry, for matters related KARI. The BoM has the responsibility to administer the resources of KARI in such a manner and for such purposes as will, in their opinion, promote the progress of the Institute in accordance with its national mandate. The Director supported by Deputy Directors, Assistant Directors, and Centre Director at the centre level does the daily administration of the institute. The BoM is constituted of two Committees that deal with finance and administration, and research and technical affairs of the institute to ensure efficiency of services delivered and technical outputs from the institute:

The Research and Technical Committee receives working documents on technical and research aspects of managing the Institute's research programmes and projects including research mandates of various research centres, programmes supported by development partners; and aspects which have a technical bearing on the general performance of KARI.
