Kenya ICT Board yesterday launched the national master plan whose strategic intent to develop a robust ICT sector that will enhance economic growth through creation of businesses and hence employment. The master plan whose vision is to establish a robust and countrywide high-speed ICT infrastructure was unveiled in April 2012 at the Connected Kenya Summit.
”Developing countries like Kenya are less equipped to take advantage of the potential in ICT to stimulate growth, and are likely to fall behind advanced economies. The Kenya ICT Master Plan is therefore not designed in isolation, given that there is evidence from developed countries that investment in ICT facilitates economic growth by increasing productivity ”,says the Minister for Information and Communication, Samuel Poghisio.
“… this plan aims at stimulating the setup of ICT-related businesses to enhance employment creation”, added the minister.
The paper had been presented in the CIO African Summit , an event for information technology professionals in Africa which took place in South Africa’s, between the 17th and 19th April last year.
The plan was a collaborative effort among numerous partners who volunteered their support representing KICTB, NCS, Telecommunication Operators, CCK, Multimedia University, USIU, BPO/ITES Workgroup at the Office of the Prime Minister, CIO East Africa, Creative Industry Task Force, Connected Health Task Force, HP, Cisco, Microsoft, Accenture, Oracle, PWC and IBM Corporate Service Corps among others.
