Design of University Attire and Wares Competition

The University of Nairobi is a prime university offering quality education and training. The University has diverse flagship programs that produce graduates for the development of this nation.

The University has been in existence for the last 50 years and is in the process of branding itself, in order to remain relevant, vibrant and sustainable in the coming decades. As part of the branding, the University is developing unique branding items including the University dress and wares, the quality of attire and wares must reflect the mission, vision and core values of the University.

The University has developed this design brief in response to achieving this goal. The development of brand items is also in line to the Presidential directive that all ministries, departments and agencies promote local textile technology by requiring staff to wear African attire, made out of locally manufactured fabrics on selected days.

The University is thus inviting the students and staff to participate in a design contest.
