The Kenya School of Government (KSG), through its Regional Centre of Competence for Digital and AI Skilling, has partnered with the University of Nairobi\u2019s Africa Center for the Study of the United States of America to host a one-day seminar celebrating six decades of U.S.-Kenya collaboration in digitization and technology. What began as an early cooperation has evolved into a strong alliance, combining American technological expertise with Kenyan innovation to drive economic transformation and foster digital growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar brought together leading voices from government, business, academia, and civil society to discuss the impact and future of this partnership. Among the distinguished speakers were Prof. Bitange Ndemo, Kenya\u2019s Ambassador to Belgium; James Potts, Economic Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Kenya; Prof. X. N. Iraki, an Economic Analyst from the University of Nairobi\u2019s Faculty of Business and Management Sciences; and Magdalene Chepkemoi, Founder and CEO of EldoHub. Their insights highlighted the significant strides made in digital technology and artificial intelligence, as well as the opportunities that lie ahead for Kenya\u2019s growing tech ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcoming the delegates, Vera Obonyo, Deputy Director of the e-Learning and Development Institute (eLDi), acknowledged the long-standing collaboration between KSG, the University of Nairobi, and the U.S. She emphasized how this partnership has played a crucial role in developing training programs for both national and county governments, strengthening Kenya\u2019s digital capacity at multiple levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Kenya continues to position itself as a hub for technological advancement, the seminar underscored the importance of sustained collaboration between Kenya and the U.S. in leveraging digital innovation for economic and social development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
