Background

H.E the Governor had promised to establish an ICT Hub to facilitate access to BOPS and identify opportunities locally and internationally by leveraging on diaspora engagements. This was outlined in the Agenda no. 7, on Youth Agenda and sports in his manifesto of 2022-2027. The Nyamira ICT hub is located next to headquarters’ offices and is now ready for use. It is well connected... with internet and can host 20 trainees in one sitting. Welcome to the Nyamira county ICT hub.

Introduction


An ICT Hub is a center designed to promote digital literacy, innovation, and economic development through access to technology and training.
The Nyamira ICT hub aims to:

Equip citizens especially the youth with the skills needed to participate in the digital economy and access online services.
Serve as access points for government services, e-commerce, and other online resources.
Create job opportunities, particularly for youth and stimulate entrepreneurship in the digital space.
Be centers of excellence, fostering innovation and supporting the development of new digital solutions.
Provide training and access to computers and the internet, enabling citizens to develop essential digital skills.
Be a crucial part of Kenya's national digital transformation agenda, aiming to empower citizens, drive economic growth, and foster a more inclusive digital society.




Training Design

The hub has 20 computers ready for use. We shall have 20 cohorts for training. Each cohort will have 20 trainees and each training will take 2 weeks. This translates to 20 trainees per training and 40 trainees in one month.

The county will hire a lead trainer who will be training the youth in the following areas.


Online writing
Entrepreneurship in digital space
Online marketing
Basic digital skills 


All this will help the county to achieve pillar no. 3 on the governor’s manifesto on wealth and jobs creation because this hub will link the youth to opportunities locally and internationally. Once youths are empowered, hardcore poverty will be reduced from 7.6% to 3% in Nyamira county.
