Report reveals Kenya’s progress in digital transformation

A new report highlights Kenya’s significant strides in digital transformation, showing the country’s growing adoption of technology across multiple sectors. From healthcare and agriculture to finance and public administration, digital solutions are being increasingly used to improve efficiency, enhance service delivery, and support economic growth. The findings indicate that Kenya is positioning itself as a regional hub for technology and innovation, leveraging digital tools to address local challenges while creating new business and employment opportunities.
The report attributes much of this progress to government-led initiatives such as the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy launched on 27 March 2025, which provides a framework for AI integration, ethical governance, and workforce development. Complementing this, the Kenya AI Skilling Alliance (KAISA), launched on 29 October 2025, has been instrumental in building digital skills, supporting startups, and fostering innovation ecosystems. Pilot programs highlighted in the report include AI-assisted healthcare diagnostics, automated financial services, and smart agriculture projects that help farmers predict crop diseases and improve yields. These initiatives demonstrate the practical impact of digital transformation on both urban and rural communities.
Experts interpret the report’s findings as a strong indication that Kenya’s investments in technology and skills development are paying off. They stress that sustained progress will require continued focus on cybersecurity, regulatory frameworks, digital inclusion, and ethical technology use. Looking ahead, Kenya’s ongoing digital transformation is expected to enhance productivity, drive innovation, create jobs, and further cement the country’s position as a leading technology hub in Africa.
