About Us

Research, Mentorship and Service

The Doctoral Association of Eastern Africa. We are an academic and professional association of doctoral holders who are dedicated to the elevation, advancement, support and sustainability of doctoral education in Eastern Africa. Our primary goal is to enhance the quality and quantity of doctoral production in EA by engaging in and providing support and advocacy for quality peer-reviewed research, curricular improvement and establishing publication venues and outlets. We nurture and maintain doctoral forums for doctoral members, as well as enrolled doctoral students with a view to enhancing doctoral completion rates as well as enriching the doctoral content. We are not a university but we collaborate and partner with universities and other institutions of higher learning to foster quality doctoral education. We provide useful doctoral and educational service to our members, and enrolled doctoral students.

To this end, the association draws from a pool of academic and professional skills and attitudes developed, refined and practiced over the years by a group of men and women, both locally and globally, to carry out and fulfill DAEA’s vision and mission.
