About Us
Conflict is recognized as an inevitable and perhaps even a necessary aspect of life. However, when negotiations fail and conflicts become disputes, those involved may face catastrophic damage, not only as a result of the outcome of the issue, but from pursuit of a resolution using insufficiently qualified people or inappropriate procedures.

The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) provides users with the confidence that its members have a globally recognized, assured level of training and experience. Practitioners aspire to achieve the highest attainable CIArb qualifications and users demand that their professional advisors demonstrate a comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of the field.

Founded in 1915 and now with 11,000 members across more than 100 countries, the CIArb is a centre of excellence for the global promotion, facilitation and development of all forms of dispute resolution. The Institute is a not-for-profit, UK registered charity working in the public interest through an international network of more than 30 Branches and Chapters.

The CIArb can operate across almost all business and commercial sectors. DRS-CIArb, a division of the Institute, administers systems for the resolution of business and consumer disputes, providing a cost-effective and timely alternative to the Courts. DRS-CIArb also offers nominating and appointing services for ad-hoc arbitrations, adjudications and mediations.

For members, and where appropriate non-members, the CIArb offers a range of resources. It provides tools, support, advice, networking, promotional opportunities as well as facilities by acting as a highly sought after Central London venue for hearings, meetings and other events.

Work and Objectives
The Institute is a recognized world leader in providing training and qualifications in Arbitration, Mediation and Adjudication.

About KISM
The Kenya Institute of Supplies Management (KISM) was established in 1976 as a membership organization for professionals engaged in procurement and supply chain management. Commencement of the Supplies Practitioners Management Act, on 30th October 2007, elevated KISM to the status of a National Body, and legally mandated it to oversee registration, regulation, training, promotion of standards and handling of disciplinary issues concerning professionals in the fields of procurement and supply chain management, in Kenya's private and public sectors.
The Kenya Institute of Supplies Management is mandated through the "Supplies Practitioners Management Act 2007" to support development of the Procurement and Supplies Management profession in Kenya by promoting application of set standards, best practices and professionalism across all sectors.
The Institutes overriding task is to nurture and build the supply chain management profession, all the while instilling discipline, ethics and order in the practice of this function within private and public procurement sectors in Kenya. This first strategic plan is meant to reorient the Institutes attention to enhancing supply chain management professionalism in Kenya.

Our mission

• To enhance integrity and professionalism among our members and stakeholders in the procurement profession by offering training in supply chain management and promoting high standards of skills
• Promoting ethical practices by providing the very highest quality products and services possible, while showing leadership in this area.
• Promote and represent the profession of purchasing and supply management through active involvement in the various forums impacting on procurement.
• Develop improved methods of purchasing and supply and promote their use in all organizations through trainings and seminars
• Promote and develop the value of membership of the Institute in-order to increase individual and corporate membership levels.

The turning milestone came on 6th June 2000 when a nine member special task force led by Chris Oanda was appointed by the Ministry of Finance. It presented a Draft Supplies Management Practitioners Bill to the Permanent Secretary to the Minister of Finance. This Bill forms the basis of reengineering the procurement profession in Kenya but is currently pending and awaiting tabling in parliament.
KISM is run by a board, with an executive branch which deals with the day to day affairs of the organization. Members meet once a year to review KISM activities and events while the board meets once a month to coordinate activities and events. Sub-committees exist in various sectors and these are run by professional volunteers from appropriate technical expertise areas.

Our Vision
The Kenya Institute of Supplies Management envisages being the National body in procurement and supply chain management in Kenya.
This would mean that KISM would regulate the procurement profession in Kenya, in-conjunction with the PPD, being the leading supply chain professional association and trainer in Kenya that instills discipline and enhances ethical practices in both the private and public sectors.

The Goals and Objectives of KISM
The results we need to achieve:

• To promote the procurement and supplies management profession in Kenya by ensuring the passage of the KISM bill (Practitioners Bill), and proper implementation of the Public Disposal Act 2005
• Participate in the COYA by sponsoring a Supplies Management Award category and the Supplies Manager of the year in 2006.
• Launch survey to ascertain the viability of a training Institute to offer short courses, certificate Diploma and Degree courses in purchasing and Supply management. KISM will also market in-house corporate trainings more aggressively.
• To encourage training in the profession and certify qualified members through a well designed program of study and recognizable experience and contribution to the profession.
• To redesign and launch a more interactive and informative website which KISM will use to inform and communicate with members and the public on activities and events.
• To promote ethically sound best practices in procurement and supplies management both in the private and public sectors.

Who We are

Vision & Mission

Vision
The IEK Council is committed to ensuring the continued improvement of the performance in service delivery to members and engineering service to the nation. By accomplishing this, the IEK will become a model institution for other proffessional institutions in the country and beyond. The Vision of the IEK is therefore:
"To be an inspiration of excellence to the engineering proffession and practice in Kenya and beyond."

Mission
"To promote and develop the engineering proffession, best practices for sustained development and welfare of Kenyans."
Core values
Professionalism, teamwork, accountability, responsiveness, stewardship innovation and integrity.
About The IEK
The Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) is the learned society of the engineering profession and co-operates with national and other international institutions in developing and applying engineering to the benefit of humanity.

History of IEK
The East African Association of Engineers (EAAE), which was the precursor to the Institution of Engineers of the Kenya (IEK), was formed in 1945 as a professional and learned body, independent of control by governments and with membership spread in the original East Africa i.e. Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania (Tanganyika and Zanzibar). The break up of the East African Community in the early 1970's resulted in the splitting of most of the professional/learned bodies, among them the EAAE. IEK was born out of this split. IEK was registered as a professional/learned and independent body in 1972.

Ideals and Objectives of IEK
The ideals and objectives of IEK since its formation have been:
1.    To represent the diverse interests of all branches of engineering.
2.    To promote, encourage and improve the application of engineering to technical and other related practices.
3.    To facilitate the exchange of information and ideas on technical and other related matters.
4.    To safe-guard the dignity and integrity of the engineering profession and safeguard the standards set to guide the application of engineering knowledge to the solution of problems.
5.    To contribute to and set standards for theoretical, practical and management training leading to acceptance to Membership of IEK and registration by the Engineers Registration Board (ERB) Commitment to Continuous Professional Development for members of IEK.

Distribution of Membership
Most members of IEK are resident in Kenya but IEK has members outside Kenya. The membership is drawn from practising engineers in the local/and central government departments, parastatals, private industry, consultants, contractors, educators, designers, manufacturers and other persons interested in engineering. The IEK is organised into the following units:
1.    Council of IEK based in Nairobi
2.    Coast Branch based in Mombasa
3.    Western Branch based in Eldoret
4.    Central Kenya Branch based in Nyeri
The interest of all members are represented by the Council of IEK, which coordinates the interests/activities of the regional branches and various other associated bodies. The Council of IEK arranges national conferences, seminars and representation of IEK members in various committees formed in the country and internationally. The regional branches and their committees play a vital role in membership contract by organising lectures, demonstrations, technical visits and in upholding professional standards. The success of the regional branches depends greatly on the support given by members who are encouraged to take a positive part in the activities of regional branches. The regional branches ensure maximum benefit is obtained by members and help to expand the membership of the IEK.


Activities of IEK
IEK provides a service to its members by means of seminars, lectures, publications and training, to enable them to keep up to date with technical and industrial developments, management aspects of engineering, changes in technology and relevant developments in Kenya and elsewhere. The "Kenya Engineer" is the bi-monthly journal of the IEK and is distributed to all members of IEK.
