Kenya is vigorously pursuing an ambitious and multi-faceted strategy for the nationwide rollout of cutting-edge digital infrastructure, a recognized cornerstone of its comprehensive National Digital Masterplan (2022–2032). This strategic plan outlines aggressive targets aimed at transforming Kenya into a globally competitive digital economy. Key objectives include the deployment of an extensive 100,000-kilometer national fibre optic network to ensure widespread broadband access, the establishment of 25,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots to bridge connectivity gaps in underserved areas, the creation of smart digital hubs in all 1,450 wards across the country to foster local innovation and digital literacy, and the comprehensive digitization of all government services to enhance efficiency and citizen access. To realize these ambitious goals, the Kenyan government allocated a substantial $125.3 million for the 2024/25 fiscal year, specifically to fund pivotal projects such as the Digital Superhighway initiative and the Kenya Digital Economy Acceleration Program (KDEAP). Further reinforcing this commitment, the ICT Authority's Strategic Plan for 2024-2027 explicitly prioritizes enabling ubiquitous connectivity through flagship initiatives like the expansion of the National Optic Fibre Backbone Infrastructure (NOFBI) and various County Connectivity Projects designed to reach even the most remote parts of the nation.

Efforts to enhance sector-specific connectivity are also well underway. The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), for example, is actively involved in extending reliable internet connectivity to critical public institutions, with an initiative reported in April 2025 aiming to connect 200 courts across the country to stable internet services, thereby improving judicial efficiency. Earlier national plans also included the ambitious laying of an additional 2,500 kilometers of fibre optic cable across 19 counties, part of ongoing and sustained efforts to decisively bridge the digital divide and ensure equitable access to digital resources. A particularly noteworthy trend is the strategic integration of advanced digital capabilities into major physical infrastructure projects. The planned Usahihi Expressway, a transformative 440-kilometer highway connecting Nairobi and Mombasa, serves as a prime example of this convergence. With its feasibility study anticipated by May 2025, this project is envisioned not merely as a transport artery but as a sophisticated "digital and green corridor." Ambitious plans for the expressway include the seamless integration of smart infrastructure components, advanced real-time traffic management systems, and dedicated provisions for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, alongside renewable energy integration along the entire route to power these digital services. This holistic approach, backed by significant financial commitments and clearly defined targets, demonstrates Kenya's strong, long-term dedication to building out a robust, resilient, and future-proof digital infrastructure framework across the entire nation, extending far beyond urban centers to ensure broad digital access, enablement, and economic participation for all its citizens.
