NAIROBI, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Chinese telecoms firm Huawei signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Tuesday with the Kenya School of Government (KSG), a state-funded training institution for civil servants, to promote digital skills in the country's public service.
According to a statement issued by Huawei on Wednesday in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, the partnership provides a structured framework for cooperation with the KSG to boost public service delivery through enhanced digital competencies, knowledge sharing, and joint capacity-building programs.
"The collaboration aligns with Kenya's broader digital transformation agenda and supports the ongoing modernization of government services," said Huawei.
Under the deal, the collaboration will focus on implementing joint training programs, collaborating on research and technical knowledge exchange, and supporting the development of advanced digital skills in artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity among civil servants.
The partnership will also promote knowledge sharing and advisory support on emerging technologies shaping governance and public service delivery, and foster staff exchange programs to deepen institutional cooperation.
Nura Mohamed, director general of the KSG, said the partnership with Huawei marks a significant milestone in positioning the institution as a center of excellence in digital public service leadership.
In line with the MoU, Huawei will support the training of 2,000 government officials and 50 KSG technical staff between 2026 and 2029 in critical areas like AI and cybersecurity.
The trainees will benefit from globally recognized certification programs delivered jointly by the two organizations, whose structured cooperation will hasten the adoption of AI-driven and secure digital government systems. Enditem
