Ministry of Information, Communications, and The Digital Economy to join UNDP to launch Digital Process Library (DPL) in Kenya

Kenya’s Ministry of Information, Communications, and The Digital Economy is poised to participate in the forthcoming pan-African launch of the Digital Process Library (DPL), an initiative developed by the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Resilience Hub for Africa. This commitment was expressed by the Cabinet Secretary, William Kabogo during a courtesy call by the UNDP team, highlighting the Ministry's dedication to advancing digital transformation across the continent.

The DPL aims to assist African governments in accelerating digital transformation, enhancing public service delivery, and promoting accountability through scalable, ready-to-use e-governance solutions. By providing a repository of standardized digital processes, the DPL seeks to streamline governmental operations, reduce redundancy, and foster transparency across various sectors. This initiative aligns with the African Union’s Digital Transformation Strategy and the Sustainable Development Goals, establishing it as a model for international collaboration in digital governance.

Kenya's participation in this high-level launch underscores the country's leadership in digital infrastructure development, mobile penetration, and e-government services. The nation has made significant strides in expanding its digital landscape, with mobile subscriptions reaching 65.7 million as of December 2022, representing a penetration rate of 133.1%. Additionally, Kenya boasts connectivity to six submarine fiber cables—SEACOM, TEAMS, EASSy, LION2, DARE1, and PEACE—enhancing its global digital connectivity

The DPL launch aims to drive political commitment, encourage cross-border collaboration, and establish a shared roadmap for modernizing public administration, improving service delivery, and enhancing institutional resilience across Africa. By participating in this event, Kenya not only showcases its advancements in the digital realm but also contributes to the collective effort of fostering a digitally empowered and resilient Africa.
