DRTEC's role in transforming lives through extension and community community engagement has not been easy during this Covid-19 pandemic. Most of the planned activities had to be cancelled or scaled down so as to adhere to the World Health Organisation containment measures. 

On 21 May 2021, the Dryland Research Training and Ecotourism Centre (DRTEC) hosted the Egerton University Council and the University Management Board (UMB).

Egerton University, through the support  of the University Council, has launched a Bee Research and Demonstration Unit (BRDU) at the Agro-Science Park and the Dryland Research Training and Ecotourism Centre (DRTEC).

This is to inform you that there will be sale of livestock (Camels and Goats) through public auction at Chemeron Dryland Research Training and Ecotourism Centre on the 2nd of September 2021 as from 9.00AM.
