The Kenya National Digital Master Plan 2022–2032, which serves as the main enabler of the nation’s digital priorities, is being implemented by the government.
The plan is supported by five pillars: digital infrastructure, digital services and data management, digital skills, digital entrepreneurship, and effective adherence to legislative, regulatory, and policy frameworks.
Five thousand services have been added to the portal using the E-citizen platform.
The cabinet office and meetings have already been digitalized as part of the digitalization strategy towards a paperless government for efficiency.
The national digital identity, which would allow Kenyans to be identified using digital technologies through a national integrated identity management system, is another project the government aims to build and operationalize.
In collaboration with the private sector, the government is extending the national digital superhighway’s fibre optic cable by an additional 100,000 kilometres over the next five years.
Each ward will include digital village smart hubs and studios that are intended to assist learning, creativity, and entrepreneurship by providing free workspace and Wi-Fi to encourage youth employment online across the nation.
In order to allow citizens to access government services, participate in e-commerce, and connect with one another, the government has so far created and operationalized 240 hubs in partnership with partners.
