Africa, due to its transformation and self-determination, stands at a critical juncture where legal systems and political landscapes are evolving rapidly. From addressing issues on human rights and social justice to shaping constitutional frameworks and fostering effective governance structures, the demand for specialised knowledge in law and politics has never been more pressing. 

Mindful of this context and the occurring historical process, Unicaf has launched its Law and Politics PhD to help enable the new African thought leaders who will be required to emerge. This PhD is focused on the use of proven methods of both qualitative and quantitative research to test and apply practically realisable results, which secure the necessary legal, political and governance frameworks for Africa’s self-realisation to emerge.

The purpose of a PhD is the development of a new, original contribution to knowledge. Those who do this research are the custodians of actionable knowledge and, therefore, drivers of change within their societies. Thus, in turn, these doctoral degree holders will then be able to address the deficit of legal professionals Africa is currently experiencing.

The Market Needs Qualified Law and Politics Doctoral Degree Holders in Africa.

For the first time in history, there is a primary focus uniting Africa as a whole, namely with the Agenda 2063: the Africa we want . Agenda 2063 intends to secure the development of African unity through the prioritisation of inclusive social and economic development, continental and regional integration, democratic governance, peace and security.

As a result, these are exciting and promising times for everyone at the forefront of the massive economic growth resulting from this unified political will and cooperation. However, the practical realisation of this difficult and long-term project will require many more legal professionals and qualified political actors to implement. It will also require new thought leaders to emerge for the necessary development of the legislative and governance structures required as part and parcel of the development process.

The number of lawyers per capita is very low across the African continent, whilst market demand for qualified legal professionals is strong and increasing due to the ongoing rapid development of Africa.

Overall, compared to other regions, Africa currently has a relatively sparse presence of legal professionals (Ibe:2021). The number of people per lawyer ratio in Malawi is 1:34000 resulting in 137 times more than the number of people per lawyer ratio in the USA. However, the united political will encapsulated by Agenda 2063 engenders a need for many more legal professionals in order for that political will to be realised in practice.

As a result of the disparity between the number of qualified legal professionals available and the existing development goals in Africa, there presently exist many social and legal challenges which need to be overcome for that development to be made a manifest reality. It is these challenges which are generating the market demand for more qualified legal professionals across Africa. 

Where Specifically is There a Market Need for More Legal Professionals and Qualified Political Actors in Africa?

Though not exhaustive, the list below illustrates some of the areas where there is a demonstrated and well-documented market need for more legal professionals and political actors in Africa:

Rule of Law and Governance: Enhancing the rule of law and governance stands as a top priority for numerous African nations. This objective involves implementing legal reforms, drafting new legislation, and enforcing existing laws. Although political actors are at the core of such initiatives, lawyers also play a vital role in these processes by providing their expertise, advising policymakers, and representing clients in legal matters.

Investment and Business Environment: As interest in investment and economic development continues to grow in Africa, there is an increasing need for lawyers who possess the ability to navigate intricate legal frameworks, facilitate business transactions, and provide legal counsel to both local and international companies. Politicians also have a role to play here, focusing, facilitating and authorising the investment required, as also ensuring such investment reaches the right people and businesses.

Access to Justice: The United Nations highlights the inadequate access to justice experienced by a significant portion of Africa’s population. This lack of access stems from various factors, such as insufficient legal representation, limited availability of legal aid services, and a shortage of qualified attorneys. As a result, there is a pressing need for more lawyers to bridge this justice gap and for political initiatives which secure the necessary changes in governance and administrative structures and procedures.

Legal Aid and Public Defenders: Numerous African countries encounter difficulties in providing legal aid services and public defenders to individuals who cannot afford legal representation. This situation creates a demand for additional lawyers who can offer pro bono services or work in public defender offices. Also, governance and administrative structures often need to be created or improved to enable this.

Career Opportunities and Advancement

  A PhD in Law and Politics opens up a wide range of exciting career prospects in government, academia, research, policy analysis, and consulting. Below is a compilation of potential career avenues for individuals holding a PhD in Law and Politics:

Legal Consultant/Advisor: With an in-depth understanding of law and politics, PhD graduates can serve as legal consultants or advisors in law firms, corporations, or government agencies. They offer expert guidance on legal matters, policy implications, and regulatory compliance.

Academic Researcher/Professor: Many PhD graduates opt for careers in academia as researchers and professors. They can join universities, colleges, or research institutions, engaging in independent research, publishing scholarly articles, and teaching courses related to law and politics.

Policy Analyst: PhD graduates can work as policy analysts in think tanks, government agencies, or non-profit organisations. They analyse and evaluate public policies, conduct research on legal and political issues, and provide recommendations to policymakers.

Government Official: PhD holders in Law and Politics can pursue careers as government officials, working in legislative bodies, executive branches, or international organisations. They actively contribute to policy-making, legal drafting, and diplomatic negotiations.

Non-profit Organization Leader: Numerous non-profit organisations focusing on legal and political issues seek experts with a profound understanding of the field. PhD graduates can assume leadership roles within such organisations, overseeing research initiatives, advocacy campaigns, and strategic planning.

Researcher/Analyst in International Organisations : International organisations such as the United Nations, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund employ researchers and analysts with expertise in law and politics. These professionals contribute to global policy development, conduct studies, and offer insights on legal and political matters.

Legal and Political Journalist: PhD graduates with strong writing and communication skills can pursue careers as journalists or writers specialising in legal and political affairs. They report on news, conduct investigative research, and provide analysis and commentary on current events.

Independent Consultant/Entrepreneur: PhD graduates have the option to establish their own consulting firms or work as independent consultants, offering specialised expertise in areas such as policy analysis, legal research, or political risk assessment.

These examples represent just a few of the career paths available to individuals holding a PhD in Law and Politics. The specific opportunities may vary depending on individual interests, skills, and networking efforts. For example, if you were to do your PhD in Law and Politics with a specialisation in computer and data protection then you might consider one of the following careers:

Data Protection Officer (DPO): With a comprehensive understanding of data protection laws and regulations, PhD graduates can secure lucrative careers as DPOs. This role involves assessing data protection risks, formulating privacy policies, conducting audits, and providing guidance on data handling practices. 

Legal Consultant for Technology Companies: In the realm of technology, legal expertise is indispensable for navigating the intricacies of data protection and privacy laws. PhD graduates can secure opportunities as legal consultants, offering guidance to technology companies on devising effective data protection strategies, drafting privacy policies, and ensuring adherence to pertinent regulations. Their specialised background enables them to address the complex legal challenges faced by such companies.

Privacy Officer: Various industries, including healthcare, finance, and e-commerce, necessitate the presence of privacy officers to supervise data protection practices. PhD graduates can assume this vital role, developing comprehensive privacy frameworks, conducting thorough risk assessments, implementing robust data protection measures, and staying abreast of evolving laws and regulations.

Strathmore Institute for Public Policy and Governance

About the institute.

The Institute of Public Policy and Governance (SIPPG), formerly the Centre for Public Policy and competiveness, was set up in 2011 in context of Kenya and New Constitution to act as an avenue for generating and channeling Strathmore Business School’s research output to society and to the economy.

With an expanded mandate, the Centre transformed into the Strathmore Institute of Public Policy and Governance (SIPPG) to serve the region in a better way. The Institute seeks to promote Interdisciplinary Policy Research, documentation of generated knowledge, translation and dissemination of research finding to society and building a community of thinkers through the MPPM student body.

The Institute has collaborative research agenda with the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at the Harvard Business School, guided by the current national and regional drive to create a region able to compete against the best in the world.

These organisations are our key partners: Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Stellenbosch University, Johns Hopkins University, University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) and Navarra Center for International Development, (University of Navarra, Spain)

Impact Investing Research

The general objective of this study was to explore the policy environment on Impact Investing with a particular reference to Kenya.

In 2012 the Rockefeller Foundation awarded the Strathmore Business School a grant to conduct research on the policy framework for Impact Investing in Kenya and by extension the East African region. The purpose of this research was to inform on the situation in the country and not to advocate for any particular action with regard to impact investing.

It was exploratory and sought to ensure that the policy environment of impact investing in Kenya is adequately captured and reported through facts and data.

Objectives of this research

The general objective of this study was to explore the policy environment on Impact Investing with a particular reference to Kenya. The specific objectives of this project were:

• To carry out a definitional exercise to outline the parameters of impact investing with particular reference to the Kenyan context.
• To carry out an analysis of the social and environmental challenges in Kenya that can be addressed through Impact Investing.
• To assess the existing policy framework and its ability or inability to offer a conducive environment for the success of impact investments.
• To make recommendations on what needs to be done to improve/strengthen the current policy framework to support impact investing.
• To convene key policy makers and other key stakeholders to stimulate debate on the potential for impact investing to address social and environmental challenges in Kenya.

Our Partners

Global friends, the leadership academy for development (lad).

The Leadership Academy for Development (LAD) trains government officials and business leaders from developing countries to help the private sector be a constructive force for economic growth and development. Strathmore Institute for Public Policy and Governance (SIPPG) has partnered with the Leadership Academy for Development, an affiliate of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies of Stanford University and the Johns Hopkins University, School of Advanced and International Studies (SAIS). It teaches carefully selected participants how to be effective reform leaders, promoting sound public policies in complex and contentious settings. A driving principle of the LAD curriculum is that policy reform is not like engineering or other technical fields that have discrete skills and clear, optimal solutions. Instead, successful reformers must be nimble and weigh a broad range of factors that influence policy outcomes. They must have a solid grasp of country-specific economic, financial, political, and cultural realities. Most importantly, they must have a sense of how to set priorities, sequence actions and build coalitions. LAD provides participants with an analytical framework to build these abilities and operate effectively under adverse conditions.

The Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness

The Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, led by Michael E. Porter, Bishop William Lawrence University Professor, studies competition and its implications for company strategy; the competitiveness of nations, regions and cities; and solutions to social problems. Based at Harvard Business School, the Institute is dedicated to extending the research pioneered by Professor Porter and disseminating it to scholars and practitioners on a global basis.

The University of St.Gallen (HSG), Switzerland,

The University of St.Gallen (HSG), Switzerland, was founded as a “Business Academy” in 1898 in the heyday of the St.Gallen embroidery industry and offered its first lectures in 1899.

School of Law student successfully presents PhD research virtually

School of Law doctoral student Muthomi Thiankolu was never going to let the coronavirus pandemic stop him from completing his PhD.  On July 21, 2020, he successfully presented his thesis to the Board of Examiners panel chaired by School of Law Dean, Prof. Kiarie Mwaura.

Thiankolu, an advocate of the High Court of Kenya is also a lecturer at the School of Law with specific research interests in dispute resolution, public procurement regulation, constitutional and administrative law and international economic law.

After weeks and months preparing for the most important day of his academic career, Thiankolu just logged into Google Meet to defend his research before a virtual panel of six examiners including Prof. Albert Mumma, Prof. Elias Ayiemba, Dr. Ken Obura, Dr. Kariuki Muigua and Dr. Seth Wekesa.

“I was excited and confident,” Thiankolu said. “I knew it was the first time a student from the School of Law was defending a PhD virtually but I did not imagine it would be any different from a face-to-face one.”

Thiankolu’s defense started at 2.00 pm. He took the call from his office off Ngong Road where he was guaranteed of high speed and stable internet.  Although he would have loved to interact and present his defense to a physical and larger audience, he still enjoyed the experience.

“I was calmly seated in my office and benefited from the comfort that comes along with it,” he said.

In his presentation titled, “Balancing Economic and Social Objectives in Public Procurement in Kenya: A review of the Law, the Policy and the Practise,” Thiankolu defended his research on whether the regulatory framework for public procurement in Kenya facilitates the resolution of conflicts between economic and social objectives; and whether the discretion that confers on government bureaucrats creates incentives for corruption, favoritism and other forms of malfeasance.

 Normally, completion of postgraduate defense presentations are marked with huge celebrations by classmates, friends and academic supervisors but that will not be the case for Thiankolu because of the physically distance between them.  

“I am not holding any celebrations for now but upon graduation subject to the lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions, my parents will host a party to celebrate my achievement,” he said.

Defending his research in the midst of a pandemic is not something Thiankolu anticipated to cap off his PhD studies. But he is still relived that he was able to successfully defend his PhD. 

“The fact that we were able to seamlessly do it online shows that the University of Nairobi is adaptive to emerging challenges and realities.”

Strathmore Law School students Nelly Irungu and Kwezi Mpyisi spent three weeks as Exoneration Justice Clinic interns alongside a group of second-year Notre Dame Law students, undergraduate Notre Dame seniors, and undergraduate students from St. Olaf College. “Nelly and Kwezi brought a diverse cultural and experiential perspective to the summer program that greatly enhanced the work of the EJC,” said Professor Jimmy Gurulé , director of the Exoneration Justice Clinic at Notre Dame Law School. “They were tireless workers who made an immediate, positive impact on advancing our wrongful conviction cases. They enriched the summer program in immeasurable ways.” For Irungu and Mpyisi, the three-week program at Notre Dame Law School’s Exoneration Justice Clinic presented them with new insights and valuable experiences to further develop their legal research skills. They looked at an intake case and evaluated whether the EJC should take up the case and investigate it further; read trial and appeal transcripts; reviewed and analyzed the evidence used by the prosecution; and determined if there are potential avenues for legal relief. They also visited Putnamville Correctional Facility, a prison located in Putnam County, Indiana. “Through this experience, I have been able to draw parallels between our criminal justice system in Kenya and the criminal justice system in the United States, see the shortcomings of both systems, and learn how both systems can be improved,” said Irungu. “This has been a valuable experience because I’ve been able to interact with the different students who are also taking part in the Exoneration Justice Clinic,” said Mpyisi. “This has allowed me to learn from them, as well as learn about ways to improve the criminal justice systems both in the U.S. and in Kenya.” One major difference between the U.S. and Kenyan criminal justice systems is that Kenya’s system does not provide for a jury trial. Only a magistrate, judge of a high court, or panel of judges on the appeals court render decisions in criminal cases. Both Irungu and Mpyisi are involved in the Strathmore Law Clinic at their university in Nairobi, Kenya, where they conduct legal research on criminal justice and human rights issues. Strathmore Law Clinic’s Criminal Justice Unit works on remand cases for clients who have entered a plea, but have not yet been convicted. Through research and litigation, the Strathmore Law Clinic works to ensure that its clients receive justice. Irungu and Mpyisi agreed that, through their internships at the EJC, they attained and developed useful skills and knowledge that they will be able to apply as legal practitioners. In the future, Irungu seeks to pursue either clinical legal education or tax law, while Mpyisi wants to work in the criminal justice area after graduation. “I find it important to improve access to justice within Kenya, especially to people who can’t afford legal aid,” said Mpyisi. The internships were made possible through the Law School’s continued exchange program with Strathmore Law School, established in 2022 by Notre Dame Law School’s  Global Lawyering Initiative . In June 2023, Strathmore Law students Irene Agingu and Esther Kangai spent two weeks as Exoneration Justice Clinic interns. “The EJC staff and students, as well as our clients, have been the beneficiaries of the Strathmore University Law School student exchange program. I look forward to welcoming two Strathmore University students to the EJC next summer,” said Gurulé.
