The ICT Ministry of Kenya has unveiled its Strategic Plan for 2024-2027, marking a significant organizational shift with the ICT Authority (ICTA) now under the State Department of ICT and Digital Economy, part of the Ministry of Information, Communication, and the Digital Economy. This strategic reorganization reflects a broader focus on enhancing Kenya’s digital infrastructure and promoting digital literacy and innovation.
The new plan builds on insights from previous policies and supports key initiatives such as the Digital Superhighway and Creative Economy. It aligns with national and international frameworks, including Vision 2030 and the African Union Agenda 2063, ensuring a cohesive approach to digital transformation.
Key objectives of the plan include improving digital infrastructure, optimizing digital culture through citizen-driven practices, and strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks. Additionally, it aims to enhance institutional capacity and promote sustainable resource mobilization, fostering a robust and resilient digital ecosystem.
