The foundation stone for the Kajiado Jitume Digital Centre of Excellence has been laid in Kitengela, Kajiado County, marking another milestone in the Government’s efforts to bring digital infrastructure, skills and economic opportunities closer to communities across Kenya.
Once complete, the Centre will provide an enabling environment for young people, innovators, creatives and entrepreneurs to access technology, build relevant digital skills and pursue opportunities in Kenya’s growing digital economy, including Artificial Intelligence, robotics, software development, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data analytics and digital content creation.
The Centre forms part of the Jitume Digital Enablement Programme, which seeks to establish a Jitume Centre of Excellence in every county, complementing a growing network of over 300 Jitume Digital Hubs across the country. Since the programme began in 2023, nearly 30,000 digital devices have been deployed to train more than 100,000 young people, with 91,428 accessing digital jobs.
Implemented by the Technopolis Development Authority in collaboration with the Communications Authority of Kenya, ICT Authority and the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), Jitume is building a connected national ecosystem where access to technology translates into skills, innovation, entrepreneurship and pathways to digital work.
