Abstract/ Overview
In today‘s rapidly changing technological world, the application of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in organizations and our communities is the order of the day, and developing organizational-wide information systems and networks requires a policy framework. The Kenya‘s Vision 2030 has placed ICT as one of its key pillars and recognizes the important role ICT plays in the country‘s development agenda. The Leadership of the County Government of Nyeri recognizes that the world is now a knowledge economy. The importance of ICT in innovation for wealth creation amongst our youth and enhancing service delivery to the people in communities has also been embraced in the County‘s Integrated Development Plan (CIDP). This realization has reinforced the need for investment in ICT to contribute to the economic development of the county geared towards realization of the Digital Economy Blueprint for the Country at large. This ICT policy document is geared towards providing a framework for use of ICT in Governance and the realization of best practices and utilization of resources in the County Government in conformity with the existing government policies, legal and regulatory framework and ensure returns from public investment. The County Government therefore, affirms its commitment to adopt and operationalize this Policy to ensure professionalism, best practices, accountability, transparency, consistency and ethical use of ICT in service delivery by its staff and in engagement with external stakeholders.
