Kenya is an African leader in technology adoption, especially in major cities such as Nairobi and Mombasa. However, in Northern Kenya, which forms 70 percent of the total landmass of the country, the information and communications technology (ICT) sector is less developed. Poverty levels are also high, further increasing barriers to technology implementation. In 2020, Engineering for Change, Huawei and iGov joined forces to conduct an ICT landscape analysis to identify the challenges and opportunities in Northern Kenya. This webinar will discuss the research outcomes and further analyze ICT in Kenya, focusing on the potential to improve agriculture, health, education, jobs and more.
In this webinar Ronald Osumba, Founder and CEO of iGov Africa moderates a panel discussion with Abdinoor Alimahad, Nomadic Hub Founder and CEO of M-Lugha, Caroline Kiarie-Kimondo, Head of Exploration, Accelerator Lab at UNDP-Kenya and Jacob Mugendi, an E4C Fellow who led this research collaboration.
