The Kenya School of Government has announced the launch of a new training program focused on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity for public officers. The initiative, part of the Raila Academy, aims to enhance leadership and governance skills among government officials in Kenya and across Africa.

The program will provide current and future public officers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the challenges of modern governance. Training modules will cover key areas such as AI implementation, data security, and digital policy development. The Kenya School of Government expects the Academy to play a central role in strengthening public administration and promoting transparency.

The initiative follows a growing emphasis on digital transformation in public sector management. In recent years, Kenya has made strides in integrating technology into governance, with the government investing in digital infrastructure and training programs. The new training is seen as a continuation of these efforts, aiming to prepare officials for the evolving demands of public service in an increasingly digital world.
