The Government of Kenya has embraced the use of ICT to modernize Government processes in order to improve effectiveness, efficiency, service delivery and promote democracy. In particular, the ICTA Strategic, e-Government pillar is designed to achieve better and efficient delivery of Government information and services to the citizens, promote productivity among public servants, encourage the participation of citizens in Government and empower all Kenyans in line with development priorities. It is therefore critical to the successful realization of e-Government in Kenya that all Kenyan citizens be ICT literate and gain proficiency in accessing government services and information using ICT. In line with Kenya's Vision 2030, Digital Economy blueprint that envisions Kenya's transformation into a knowledge economy, it is important to equip the general citizenry with the requisite skills to effectively participate in the information-driven and ICT Mediated Knowledge society.
To equip the general citizenry with the requisite skills and competencies required for an effective e-Government, a training curriculum targeted primarily at ALL Citizens has been developed with the objective of empowering the general public to effectively use ICT in accessing government services, in line with the ICT Authority strategy.
