CENIT@EA management is organised around an academic management coordinated by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jorge Marx Gómez (UOL) and directed by Dr. Kisangiri Michael (NM-AIST). The project leadership, together with the implementation of DAAD and GIZ, is responsible for networking, coordination of ongoing sub-projects, for communication and public relations, as well as advancement of CENIT@EA activities.

Furthermore, the project is supported by a joint steering committee (JSC) which assists the leadership with the implementation of the CENIT@EA academic programme carrying out the ambitious programme of CENIT@EA and to maintaining excellent levels. Monitoring by the JSC will be implemented throughout the duration of the project and will have the aim of detecting deficiencies, obstacles and/or adjustment needs in a timely manner to enhance the expected results. Additionally, the JSC will implement an ongoing follow-up of what is happening during implementation of the project and it will analyse how management indicators are evolving. It will periodically examine current events to answer specific questions related to design, implementation, and results, to intervene in a timely manner. The JSC is set up consisting nominated thematic field representatives of project partner institution, which are:

• Prof. Dr. Alexandre Lyambabaje, Inter University Council of East Africa (IUCEA)
• Daniel Murenzi, East African Community (EAC)
• Prof. Dr.Emmanuel Luoga, Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST)
• Dr. Kirsten Focken, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
• Lars Gerold, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
• Rachel Muthoga, Kenya Private Sector Alliance
• Peter Mathuki, East African Business Council
• Dr. Eng. Ally Simba, Executive Secretary at East African Commucations Organisation

Additionally, an international Advisory Board is established in which high-ranking personalities from academia and civil society will serve as advisors to the CENIT@EA and its sub-projects. Already committed personalities to the international Advisory Board are: and results, to intervene in a timely manner. The JSC is set up consisting nominated thematic field representatives of project partner institution, which are:
