The Kenya School of Government (KSG) has engaged Huawei in discussions aimed at advancing its ICT and digital transformation agenda, as part of efforts to position the institution as a future-ready and regionally competitive school of government.

Director General of the Kenya School of Government, Prof. Nura Mohamed, met a Huawei delegation led by Mr. Jerry Wang, Director of the Government and Public Business Department, where he received a detailed report on the current status of ICT and digital transformation across KSG campuses. The report followed a Huawei-led survey that assessed existing ICT infrastructure and identified priority areas for improvement to inform the development of the School’s ICT Master Plan.

The engagement forms part of KSG’s broader strategy to leverage digital technologies, resilient ICT systems and clean energy solutions to enhance learning delivery, institutional efficiency and service excellence. Discussions focused on aligning the proposed partnership with national priorities, particularly the Government of Kenya’s Digital Transformation agenda and the evolving needs of the public service.

Key areas under consideration include the adoption of smart campus solutions, strengthening of ICT infrastructure, digital enablement of services, improved governance systems, sustainability initiatives and enhanced operational efficiency.

KSG reaffirmed its commitment to fostering strategic partnerships that drive innovation and support the transformation of public service leadership and capacity development in Kenya and the wider region.
