NAIROBI, Kenya, JAN 17 – The ICT Authority has rolled out a digital training program to support the Citizen Digital Skills Program.
The five-day training of trainers (TOT) will see trainers taught foundational digital skills, basic digital skills, intermediate digital skills, and advanced digital skills.
“Our commitment to enhance government service delivery through digitization and automation and make government services accessible online is on course,” said the authority’s CEO, Stanley Kamanguya.
“The ICT Authority in collaboration with both the Public and Private sector are working to accelerate the automation process and to build resilience on the digital infrastructure to safeguard our growth,” Kamanguya added.
Zilpher Owiti, ICT Authority’s Director, Partnerships, Innovation, and Capacity Development, lauded the program as a gateway for equipping a workforce capable of navigating its complexities.
“Many of our citizens are missing out on many opportunities within the digital economy which is creating employment for millions of people across the world. We would like our citizens to take part in this program and get the opportunities as they arise,” she said.
William Ruto’s government is keen on digitization to scale up universal broadband connectivity across the country.
Ongoing efforts, including the acceleration of digital hubs in all wards, are geared towards bridging the digital divide and making all government services accessible online.
