Engagement with Kenya
A Kenyan delegation led by H.E. Mercy Wanjau visited NIC on 21 November 2025 and held strategic discussions with Dr. R.K. Pathak, Deputy Director General and Head of Group (ICD), NIC.
The focus was on strengthening ICT-enabled public service delivery and integrated governance. NIC demonstrated key platforms including the Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS), eOffice, and eHospital.
The Kenyan delegation showed keen interest in integrated governance platforms, especially ICJS, for improving coordination, transparency, and service efficiency. Discussions also covered possible technical collaboration, system customization, and phased implementation strategies.
Capacity Building and Customization
A key pillar of NIC’s international cooperation is capacity building. ICD supports partner countries through:
- Training programs for government officials and technical teams
- Knowledge-sharing workshops and study visits
- Localization of platforms to suit language, legal, and administrative frameworks
- Ongoing technical support and system upgrades
This approach ensures that technology transfer is not just about software, but about building long-term digital capability.
Conclusion
The engagements with Cuba and Kenya led to a shared understanding on exploring pilot projects for selected Digital Public Infrastructure platforms, setting up technical consultations for system adaptation, developing training and knowledge-exchange programmes, and strengthening institutional cooperation through structured follow-up mechanisms. These discussions lay a strong foundation for deeper and sustained collaboration in digital governance.
