Kenya has taken a bold stride in advancing its digital transformation agenda through a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Denmark. The agreement marks a deepened partnership focused on strengthening public sector digitalisation and fostering citizen-centred digital services that enhance efficiency, accessibility, and inclusivity.
Signed by H.E. Stephan Schønemann, the Ambassador of Denmark to Kenya, and Hon. William Kabogo Gitau representing Kenya, the MoU underscores a shared commitment to leveraging digital innovation as a key driver of socio-economic progress. This collaboration seeks to harness technology in building robust, scalable, and secure systems that can deliver real value to citizens across all levels of government.
The partnership will focus on several priority areas, including the development of digital public infrastructure, establishment of interoperability frameworks, and implementation of capacity-building programs for digital governance. It will also enhance policy dialogue and promote expert exchanges, creating platforms for mutual learning and joint innovation between the two nations.
According to Hon. Kabogo, the initiative will unlock vast opportunities for collaboration in digital transformation and accelerate Kenya’s journey toward a modern, technology-driven public sector. By combining Denmark’s experience in e-governance with Kenya’s growing innovation ecosystem, the partnership aims to strengthen institutional efficiency and public trust through smarter service delivery.
This MoU represents a major milestone in Kenya’s ongoing digitalisation journey, reinforcing the country’s position as a regional leader in digital governance and innovation. The partnership highlights the power of international cooperation in shaping resilient digital economies that empower citizens and drive sustainable development.
