Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for ICT, Joe Mucheru on the Ajira Digital platform

Mr. Mucheru said that the ministry’s objective was to directly support 1 million young Kenyans across the country to find and complete work online by end of 2017. To date the platform has close to 10,000 youths registered. “The pursuit of an empowered, engaged and involved youth population cannot be fulfilled through my Ministry alone; neither can it be delivered by Government action alone. We require all stakeholders to pull resources and capacity together for greater impact and sustainable results,” he said.Under phase 1 of the Programme, KEPSA will oversee the development of the Ajira Digital training curriculum and the assigning of the trained apprentices to identified experienced workers and online freelancers.
