Kenyans seeking training and registration services from the Kenya School of Government will now access them through selected Huduma Centres following a new partnership unveiled by Huduma Kenya.
The programme was officially launched on Tuesday at the Uasin Gishu Huduma Centre and is expected to be rolled out in 16 Huduma Centres across the country.
In a public notice issued on May 20, Huduma Kenya said the partnership is aimed at bringing public service training services closer to wananchi and easing access for public servants and other learners.
“This will see Kenyans have access to the Kenya School of Government services from the Huduma Centres after the successful launch at Uasin Gishu Huduma Centre today,” the Huduma Kenya portal stated.
As per the agreement, Kenyans will access services that pertain to the various leadership training courses, consultancy, research and organizational development programs provided by KSG.
In addition, there will be mandatory leadership and governance courses as well as programs in public administration that aim at improving service delivery in the public sector.
Training in technology, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and e-government systems, will also be provided.
Officials say the move supports the government’s wider digital transformation agenda and will help improve access to training through both physical and online learning platforms.
With the rollout, more than 180 programmes currently offered through in-person classes and e-learning platforms will now be accessible through Huduma Centres.
Over the past year, Huduma Centres have continued expanding the range of government services available under one roof.
Among the recently introduced services are Affordable Housing registration desks, Judiciary services including bail refunds and fine payments, as well as state media support services for funeral announcements and public notices through Kenya Broadcasting Corporation.
The latest move comes as the government pushes to digitise most public services and reduce paperwork across ministries and agencies.
Earlier this year, President William Ruto said between 80 and 90 per cent of government services had already been digitised.
According to the President, more than 22,000 national and county government services are currently accessible online, with the remaining services still undergoing digitisation as the government works towards a fully paperless system.
