EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI) FOR TRAINERS (COMMUNITY DIGITAL CHAMPION) FOR ICTA DIGITAL SKILLS CURRICULUM

ENHANCING SAFE AND SECURE ACCESS TO DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES FOR IMPROVED INCLUSION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (PWDs) AND SENIOR CITIZENS IN KENYA – II

PROJECT SUMMARY

The Ministry of ICT & Digital Economy, through the ICT Authority (ICTA) in partnership with the UK Government Digital Access Program (UK DAP) are collaborating on a project to enhance secure access to digital government services for persons with disabilities and senior citizens in Kenya. The project aims to increase access to digital government services for equitable and inclusive economic and social benefits for PWDs and senior citizens.

The project is funded by the UK Government, Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) through the Digital Access Programme (DAP). The Programme operates in five countries: Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Brazil and Indonesia. The overall objective of the Programme is to catalyze affordable, inclusive, safe and secure digital access for underserved or excluded populations; and to use this as a basis for a more thriving digital ecosystem. The project is implemented by the Association of the Physically Disabled of Kenya (APDK) in partnership with Inspire Africa Initiatives and VISCAR Industrial Capacity.

This project aims at empowering PWDs and senior citizens through digital skilling and cyber hygiene sensitization. Additionally, there is collaboration with the government to provide inclusive digital services. This is because the government is digitizing majority of its services as part of the digital transformation agenda. Similarly, some of the key projects in the Kenya digital master plan as part of the Digital transformation agenda include; digital literacy training program for 20 million citizens and a training program for Special Interest Groups on digital skills.

The project now seeks to recruit digital skills trainers to provide digital Skills training for PWDs and Senior Citizens on Foundation Digital Skills and Basic Digital Skills levels of the ICTA digital skills Curriculum. Interested persons from across the country hereby encouraged to express their interest by filling the online form through the link provided below.
