The program is aimed at producing competent lawyers of character, equipped for legal practice and other law related careers. In Kenya, the LLB is the basic requirement to enter into legal practice.
The Africa Nazarene University mission statement calls for graduates to go into the world well-prepared to meet the challenges of their time, which include personal and organizational corruption, violence, disunity, poverty and unemployment, disease, and a crisis of leadership. The LLB program will therefore prepare graduates to address these challenges of their time in a number of ways. First, the University Common Courses include units in Bible, Christian Beliefs and Christian Ethics to provide a foundation for moral and ethical knowledge and values. Secondly, the LLB program itself envisages not only training in key legal knowledge and skills to prepare them for success in legal practice, but also preparation for being a positive influence through required and elective units.
Because of its vision and mission and because of the need on the continent, the LLB program, based firmly in Common Law, will train graduates who have the skills and knowledge to support themselves and their families, and who also have skills and knowledge that would allow them to identify and address needs in their local and regional community.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a formal and systematic process to analyze and address the environmental effects of policies, plans and programs and other strategic initiatives. SEA as a tool for environmental sustainability has developed over time dating back to the 1969 enactment of the National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) in the USA.
The Act recommended the introduction of certain aspects of SEA within Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) practices. However, SEA more strongly emerged in the 1990s and now has spread worldwide. In 2001, the EU established SEA directive 2001/42/EC requiring an evaluation of new policies and programs through SEA.
SEA is relatively new in Kenya. The Environmental (Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations, 2003 provides for all public Policies, Plans and Programs to be subjected to SEA. However, even after the gazettement of the regulations emphasis was placed on the EIA and EA. The EIA process inadequately deals with cumulative, synergistic, secondary and/or long-term impacts which can be addressed when Policies, Plans and programs (PPPs) are subjected to the SEA process.
Therefore, SEA refers to a range of analytical and participatory approaches to integrate environmental considerations into policies, plans or programs (PPPs) and evaluate the interlinkages with economic and social considerations. SEA is a family of approaches that uses a variety of tools, rather than a single, fixed, prescriptive approach. The SEA process extends the aims and principles of EIA upstream in the decision-making process, beyond the project level when major alternatives are still possible.
The uptake of SEA was delayed due to inadequate expertise and legislation in the country. SEA has now been well captured in EMCA CAP-387. Article 57A addresses itself primarily to strategic environmental assessment and states that. All policies, Plans and programs for implementation shall be subject to Strategic Environmental Assessment.
