The Ministry of Information, Communications, and Digital Economy (MICDE) is set to launch Kenya’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy 2025-2030 on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
The strategy, developed by the National AI Working Group and Steering Committee, is a result of extensive consultations with government agencies, private sector stakeholders, academia, civil society, international partners, and local communities.
The launch will be presided over by ICT Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo Gitau, alongside ICT and Digital Economy Principal Secretary Eng. John Tanui and other senior government officials.
Speaking ahead of the launch, PS Tanui emphasized Kenya’s ambition to be a leader in AI innovation within Africa and beyond.
“The Kenya AI Strategy is designed to position Kenya not just as a participant, but as a pacesetter in the global AI landscape, with a particular focus on Africa. We are building on our reputation as the ‘Silicon Savannah’ by creating a robust framework that prioritizes innovation, ethical governance, and collaboration,” said Eng. Tanui.
The AI strategy aims to drive technological advancements, economic growth, and ethical AI adoption, reinforcing Kenya’s position as a digital hub in Africa.
