Washington DC area, as a U.S. consulting and research firm with a
subsidiary in Nairobi Kenya.
Our main clients are African governments seeking to utilize ICT as an
economic growth enabler through e-Government solutions, improved
Internet access by large and small enterprises, credit unions, adult and
young learners who are out of the mainstream education system, health
practitioners seeking information to save lives, and farmers seeking to
access wider markets. We also provide services to African private sector on
emerging technologies and accessing partnerships with U.S. and Canada.
Our projects are mainly funded by USAID, and other donors including, the
World Bank, CDC and DFID. We have experience working with NGOs in
developed and developing countries, U.S. public and private universities,
and the private sector.
In the last ten years, we have successfully implemented projects in Kenya,
Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Southern Sudan, Rwanda, Eritrea, Djibouti,
Madagascar, Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho. Our projects range from
utilization of ICT to improve HIV/AIDS information dissemination, designing
and developing national education networks including the famous Kenya
Education Network (KENET), designing e-Government projects and
providing strategic plan assistance to small and medium businesses.
Our research indicates that African countries will become the next popular
destination for BPO and Call Center services from developed countries that
are seeking to increase their profits through cheaper and affordable labor.

| What is e-Government? e-Government is the use of a range of ICT such as Wide Area Networks, Internet and mobile computing by government agencies to transform government operations. The ultimate goal of e-Government is to make the Government more result oriented, efficient and citizen centred e-Government facilitates information sharing and service delivery to citizens and business e-Government has three phases: Publish, Interact and Transact. To a large extent the intended users are: Government to Government (G2G), Government to Business (G2B) and Government to Citizens (G2C) The most natural starting point for most e-Government initiatives is G2G. Successful implementation of e-Government and e-Commerce applications in any country requires strong legal framework. USAID/Washington through the dot-ORG Program that is implemented by AID supported the development of Kenya's e-Transactions Bill. The project was implemented by Afrika ICT Strategies in partnership with the Directorate of e-Government in the Office of the President. The model e-Transactions Bill was developed by a Technical Team comprised of high level Government of Kenya officials with legal and ICT backgrounds, that was complemented by a team of local and international consultants with business, legal and ICT backgrounds. In developing the model laws, Afrika ICT Strategies conducted desk study research on digital laws for 16 countries i.e. Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Egypt,Pakistan, India, U.S., Finland, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Mauritius and Queensland.
