Who should

We welcome Kenyan civil society organisations, community-based organisations, networks and other groups working to advance digital inclusion and equitable opportunities.

We are especially interested in organisations that:

  • Work to expand meaningful and inclusive access to digital opportunities in Kenya.
  • Bring experience from communities and groups that are often under-represented.
  • Are ready to participate, learn from peers and develop practical advocacy approaches.

Groups at different stages of their advocacy journey are encouraged to apply.

Why it
matters

Digital skills and participation are essential to a more inclusive and sustainable future. Yet barriers to access, affordability, relevant skills and representation continue to affect communities across Kenya.

Across public services, education, livelihoods and civic participation, people need the skills and confidence to benefit from digital change. Strong local organisations play an important role in making sure that no one is left behind.

POLIS Kenya brings organisations together to learn, exchange ideas and strengthen practical advocacy for a more equitable digital future.
