The Communication Authority of Kenya (CA) has launched the Universal Service Fund (USF) Strategy 2023-2027, a platform that will enable Kenyans to participate actively in the global digital economy.
The Chairperson of the Board of Directors, Communications Authority of Kenya, Ms Mary Mungai, said the Universal Service Fund embodies Kenya to deepen meaningful ICT connectivity and ensures that no Kenyan, regardless of location, income, age, or ability, is left behind in the digital revolution. "Access to communication and digital services is a fundamental universal right.
This not only enables humans to lead meaningful lives but is also a key driver of sustainable development," she said.
Speaking at the launch held at a Nairobi hotel, Ms Mungai said the USF initiative is one of the Kenya Kwanza Government's Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda through the Digital and Creative Economy Pillar, which creates a positive impact on the lives of Kenyans across the country.
