H.E Hon. William Kabogo Gitau, EGH, officially opens the inAble Inclusive Africa Conference 2026
Digital Accessibility must be integrated into every stage of policy development, infrastructure deployment, product design, and service delivery to ensure that no one is left behind.
Earlier today, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Information, Communication and the Digital Economy, H.E Hon. William Kabogo Gitau, EGH, officially opened the inAble Inclusive Africa Conference 2026, a platform that continues to champion digital accessibility and inclusion across our continent.
Kenya is significantly making progress through the Digital Superhighway Programme, which is connecting schools, hospitals, government institutions, and communities across the country.
Through investments in digital infrastructure, innovation hubs, and the expansion of online government services, the Ministry is creating opportunities for all Kenyans to participate meaningfully in the digital economy.
The CS commended the collaboration between government agencies, standards bodies, and accessibility advocates in developing Kenya's national standard for accessibility of ICT products and services which is a significant milestone in aligning Kenya's digital ecosystem with international best practices.
Accessibility remains a central pillar of these efforts, particularly for learners and citizens with disabilities who must be able to access education, information, and public services without barriers.
