More than 2,800 women graduated with Certificates in the Digital Employability Programme, during a ceremony that took place at the African Advanced Level Telecommunications Institute (AFRALTI) on January 26, 2023.

Themed: ‘Young Women for the Digital Economy’, the programme saw the training of at least 2,832 vulnerable women from informal settlements and rural areas to leverage on the digital space to help them create and monetize creative works with the aim of enhancing their livelihoods.

  This was realised with financial support from the British High Commission in Kenya, under its Digital Access Programme. Mercy Wanjau, Secretary to the Cabinet who presided over event applauded the drivers of the programme while noting that the graduation ceremony and the impact of the Project are testaments to the transformational power of technology.

“As a country, we have made significant strides in the digital space. Like many other countries in the world, it is because of ICT technology that we were able to remain resilient despite the difficult operating environment at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic,” she said.  Jonathan Mueke, Sports and Arts, PS congratulated the women for the successful completion of the programme.
