Strathmore University will host Africa’s first Hills Governance Center, part of the Hills

Program for Governance of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, DC.  Dr. David Sperling will serve as the Center’s provisional director.

Founded by former SEC Chairman Roderick Hills and his wife, former US Labor Secretary Carla Hills, the

Roderick and Carla Hills

Hills Program contributes to an active international discourse on the role of governance in economic development and global security.

The Hills Governance Center at Strathmore will join others at Asian Institute of Management in Manila, Yonsei University in Seoul, Tsinghua University in Beijing, IPADE Business School in Mexico City, and University of San Andrés School of Law in Buenos Aires. The Centers raise awareness on comparative governance and the impact of corruption on all sectors through research, conferences and training.

 “We are honored that the Hills Program has selected Strathmore for its first African Center,” Dr. Sperling said. “It fits perfectly the leadership role Kenya will provide Africa in this critical area.”
