Kenya’s Ministry of
Information, Communications and the Digital Economy (MICDE), through the State
Department for TVET, has partnered with Huawei Technologies Kenya and the
Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) to strengthen cybersecurity
awareness and promote data protection among students and trainers at Kisii
National Polytechnic.
The engagement took place
during the ongoing Cybersecurity Week Sensitization Programme, where
participants were encouraged to adopt safe digital practices and improve their
understanding of cybersecurity and data protection.
The sessions also raised
awareness of the ongoing Huawei ICT Competition, encouraging students to
participate, showcase their technical skills and explore opportunities in ICT
innovation.
The initiative reinforces
the government’s commitment to building cybersecurity capacity, strengthening
digital skills and preparing young people to participate in Kenya’s growing
digital economy.
