Fragment of the cover of the Strategic Plan for community-centred connectivity initiatives in Kenya
Community-centred connectivity initiatives (CCCIs) envision a digitally inclusive Kenya, where every community, regardless of location, income level or demographic profile, has equitable access to meaningful, affordable and empowering digital connectivity. Rooted in the principle that communities themselves are best placed to define their development paths, CCCIs strive to transform digital access from a commodity into a shared community asset.
The mission of this plan is to strengthen the ecosystem of grassroots connectivity initiatives by enabling supportive policy environments, sustainable infrastructure, local innovation and inclusive capacity building. CCCIs are not merely about access to technology; they are about allowing the communities to co-create digital futures that are culturally relevant, socially just, economically viable and environmentally sustainable.
This strategy marks a decisive shift in Kenya’s approach to digital inclusion: from top-down connectivity to bottom-up empowerment. It lays out a bold, coordinated vision that puts communities at the centre of their digital transformation.
