A total of twenty-six events were contested, eighteen by men and eight by women. A near full track and field programme was held for men, with all regular track events being held and only the pole vault and hammer throw missing from the field events. The women's programme had limited entries so was mostly track running events, plus the long jump and high jump. No road or combined events were contested. All performances were affected by the high altitude of Nairobi.
The hosts, Kenya, were dominant at the competition, winning seventeen of the 26 gold medals on offer, including all but three of the track titles. The next most successful nation was Morocco, which won three gold medals and four silvers, having particular success in the women's section. Botswana took three golds in the men's events and also had the third largest medal haul at five. Military athletes from thirteen nations reached the podium.
