Huduma Kenya has launched Kenya School of Government (KSG) services at selected Huduma Centres across the country in a new effort to bring public-sector training closer to citizens and government workers.
The rollout, announced on May 20 and officially launched at the Uasin Gishu Huduma Centre, is part of the government’s wider push to decentralise services and strengthen digital access to training and public administration programmes.
What the New Programme Means
Under the new arrangement, Kenyans will be able to access a range of Kenya School of Government services directly through Huduma Centres without travelling to KSG campuses.
The programme will initially operate in 16 Huduma Centres across the country.
According to officials, the services will include:
- Leadership and governance training
- Public administration courses
- Consultancy and organisational development support
- Research and policy programmes for public servants
- Mandatory government leadership courses
The government says the move is aimed at improving capacity-building within public institutions while making services more accessible and affordable.
Focus on Digital Skills and AI
One of the key components of the rollout is digital skills training.
Huduma Kenya says the programme will introduce courses in:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Cybersecurity
- E-government systems
- Digital public service delivery
Officials say the courses are designed to support Kenya’s broader digital transformation agenda and prepare public servants for technology-driven government systems.
More than 180 programmes currently offered physically or online through KSG are expected to gradually become available through Huduma Centres.
Why the Government Is Expanding Huduma Services
The expansion is part of ongoing efforts to turn Huduma Centres into one-stop centres for government services.
In recent months, Huduma Centres have integrated additional services including:
- Affordable Housing registration
- Judiciary payment services for fines and bail refunds
- Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) support services
The government says consolidating services in one location helps reduce bureaucracy, cut travel costs, and improve convenience for citizens.
Bigger Push Toward Digital Government
The rollout comes as President William Ruto’s administration continues accelerating digitisation of government services.
Earlier this year, President Ruto said between 80 and 90 per cent of government services had already been digitised.
According to the government, more than 22,000 national and county government services are currently accessible online, with remaining services still undergoing digital transition.
Why It Matters
The Huduma-KSG partnership is expected to:
- Improve access to government training programmes
- Strengthen skills among public servants
- Expand digital literacy within government institutions
- Reduce the need for travel to training centres
- Support faster and more efficient public service delivery
Officials say the initiative could also help bridge gaps between urban and rural access to government training opportunities as Kenya continues modernising public administration systems.
