The event was first held in Kenya in 2009 and has been expanded to East Africa
Programme
in 2015. For the first time, the Summit has participation from the five East African
States namely; Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda as well as our
neighbour, South Sudan. This is a clear confirmation that the forum plays a role
not only to the Kenya ICT development agenda, but to the East African region
as a whole.
Connected East Africa Summit 2015 will include presentations on case studies and
panel discussions, at plenary and in break-out sessions, on pertinent matters that
affect ICT in East Africa and considerations in regional integration in ICT. As with
the previous years the programme will have Fireside Chats for delegates to share
opinions, insights and suggestions that contribute to economic development in
an informal setting.
In this 7th edition, the Summit takes cognizant of the regions achievements
The early arrivals will enjoy a round of golf at the Golf Challenge to relax and
network prior to the main event. The Summit will also feature the Vision 2030 ICT
Innovation Awards Ceremony that celebrates innovation in ICT seeking to build
Kenya as a vibrant middle income economy by the year 2030. Other highlights
of the event will include the Innovation Lounge showcasing Kenyas most exciting
tech start-ups and Exhibitions on products and services from our partners. The
event will end with the Gala Dinner sponsored by the Summits Title Sponsor,

identified as shared infrastructure, skills development, harnessing Innovation and

power.
Most importantly, the integration will provide a wider space for the talented pool of Kenyan ICT innovations and enterprises to
engage in provision of important services and solutions to the East African people. This, the Kenyan innovators can do in conjunction
with innovators from the other member countries through co-innovation and shared intellectual property rights in order to promote
access and adoption of designed ICT solutions to the grassroots. With this, we will have a crop of regional ICT innovators who are
tirelessly and creatively working to transform the much bigger East African community. In this way, Kenya and its neighbours will be
well on the way to realising the Silicon Savannah opportunity of being the home of innovations for solving Africas problems and later,
global problems.
Through the regional ICT integration, the Department of Programmes and Standards perceives an opportunity to have aligned
standards in all the member states that will make the implementation of essential ICT projects that are necessary to the people, easier
in the region. For example, this will mean that solutions designed in Kenya will have to meet a certain level of criterion accepted
regionally, that will then allow the solution to be implemented in any and all of the member states.
Already ICT regulators across the region are working together to develop favourable regulatory guidelines for the region that disregard
borders in order to expand the market and its accessibility.
The incorporation of a shared vision in standardizing the programme guidelines in all the countries will ensure that the people of East
Africa enjoy the infinite benefits from the expanded market, talent pool and investment opportunities.
As the implementing agency for the Government of Kenyas ICT functions, the Authority is committed to make the integration
process effective and valuable to the people of Kenya and all our neighbours.

information access to all the citizenry. This will be made by the increase in coverage of broadband services in each nation, and
accordingly, in the whole region. Working together as a region ensures that Kenya and its neighbours will succeed in efficiency
that can improve access to Internet and drive down cost of data for the millions of citizens in East Africa. This not only opens the
opportunity for enterprise but also promotes Kenya and the region as a knowledge society.
Regional integration is a welcome development as we continue to design and implement important programmes in support of an
effective service structure for ICT.
A core function of the ICT Authority is to set and enforce ICT standards and guidelines for the human resource, infrastructure, processes
and system and technology for the public office and public service. Regional integration brings to the fore the idea of peer learning
in this area, in order to gain knowledge from our neighbours on frameworks that have not worked. We see the regional ICT integration
as an opportunity to benchmark across the region and leverage on what has succeeded in other countries for the success of the
organisational systems in the ICT sector.
Indeed, setting up and executing models on such important support services as Finance; Human Resources and Procurement requires
tried and tested models and peer review mechanisms wherever possible. As the ICT Authority, we feel that there will be much to
learn and share with our peers in the other member states in building strong and sustainable government enterprise architecture in

t Connected Kenya Summit 2014, the Regional Inter-Ministerial Committee formed during the Transform Africa Forum held in Kigali, Rwanda in 2013 looked into
breaking regional barriers in harmonisation of ICT across the East African countries. Among the considerations of the committee were the key components in
integrating ICT infrastructure; harmonisation of policy frameworks; assimilation of ICT roadmaps particularly with respect to aligning ICT interventions; and capacity and
innovation across the region.
This committee will report its progress at the Summit and demonstrate the interventions, thus far, in building an integrated ICT infrastructure and policies in the region.The
bloc has embarked on a number of collaborative projects including the East Africa Broadband ICT Infrastructure Network (EAC-BIN), One Area Network and the EAC

he growth in maturity and sophistication in the size and number of the ICT set ups in both local and international organizations has necessitated the development of
ICT professional and skill levels in the last several decades.
As the ICT sector in the East Africa region continues its exponential growth, there is need to have greater and closer collaboration between education institutions,
businesses and government to determine the exact mix of skills needed in the market.
The session will focus on the case study on Employability Skills Development, a unique program from Zensar supported by NASSCOM Foundation and National Skill

s governments automate more of their process and services they are able to collect valuable and informative data that can contribute to national planning and
civic engagement. In this highly digitized world, generation of information from formal and social platforms is an everyday occurrence. Governments at all levels
with the use of proper search and analytics tools can use this information in planning so as to improve service delivery to the citizenry. This ensures that programmes are
planned with the citizen in mind and the public feels incorporated in governments decisions and initiatives. At all levels government should drive development and
consumption of data analytics.
Delegates will learn from the case study by the Commission on Revenue Authority (CRA) of Kenya demonstrating the ways in which to deal with disconnect between IT
platforms collecting public data and the actual use of the information at the grassroots level.
This session will look at how government at the grassroots can improve its data collection, analysis, storage in order to have programme designs that are well informed by
the public. It will also examine the infrastructure needed in data storage and management so that the data is also accessible to other stakeholders.

Haki - The Mobile Game Series, Award: Gender, Youth and Vulnerable Groups (2014)
The Haki Mobile Games Series intends to promote the agenda of Kenya
First to the youth. This will be done by ensuring that the themes of awareness,
cohesion, peace and tolerance are visible to the youth through the power
of the mobile phone to educate, empower and inspire.
Currently in the application phase, marketing and distribution, the Haki
Series team has been deepening the utility of the game by engaging with
communities in Nairobi, Thika and Naivasha.
The Series acts as a conversation starter, feedback tool and message
platform for civic education and the input gathered from the ground to will
feed into a future version of the Series.
The recognition from the Innovation Awards has assisted in convincing the
audience about the utility of a mobile game to impact on social reality,
as mobile gaming for social enterprise is relatively a new concept in the
country. The Award also confirms that the product is known and acclaimed
as a winner. This has made it easier to source and acquire like-minded
partners working in the area of civic education and empowerment as it
gives legitimacy to the organisation and the games series. Some of these
include Games4Change on women economic empowerment and ICT Skills
using mobile platforms by Intel Africa, among others.

Automating the Quantification and Forecasting of Essential Drugs in Public Facilities in Kenya, Award: Health Care Delivery (2014)
Automating the Quantification and Forecasting of Essential Drugs in Public
Facilities in Kenya developed by ZiDi - a national e-Health platform, is a solution
being executed at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). It is aimed
at enhancing the efficiency of healthcare delivery in Kenyas public health
system by automating the supply chain of free and/or publicly subsidized
essential drugs to health clinics throughout the country.
KEMSA has linked up with E-Supply Chain Management system which supports
the delivery of medical commodities to Antiretroviral (ARV) sites in Kenya,
resulting to the expansion of the automation. This aids in such procurement
processes as forecasting and quantifying of essential drugs in the health
facilities in Kenya.
Since winning at the Innovations Awards last year, most development partners
and stakeholders have developed a lot of confidence and interest in KEMSAs
products and services. It has also put
KEMSA on the world map as State Corporation that effectively delivers service
to the citizenry and it motivates the KEMSA team to raise the bar in their areas
of responsibility. The Award has since helped KEMSA gain acceptance and
confidence from the counties as it is a validation that the solution works and
meets the required standards. As a result it has become easy to approach the
counties about the solution. Facilities in Kilifi, Makueni and Nakuru have since
been trained on how to place orders using the web self-service portal of the
Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) which are currently all up and
running efficiently. It is expected that more facilities will roll out the programme
for an increased number of customers and guaranteed customer satisfaction
as KEMSA is the only organization offering such a solution.
