Kenya's government is trying to use technology to solve some of the country's most pressing problems, including reducing deaths from malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS, the Guardian reports.
According to a World Bank report, the country has seen "significant digital technology advances in key sectors including finance, access to information and social services, learning, agriculture and health service delivery," and the government is trying to use technology to improve access, quality, affordability, equity, and efficiency in digital innovation from the national to the sub-national level.
The government is trying to use technology to increase the numbers, skills, and performance of the workforce.
"As the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning increases, we must think through how we will shift tasks from people to machines, and what this means for future workforce training and diagnostics," the World Bank report states.
The government is trying to use technology to reduce the number of maternal deaths, non-communicable diseases, measles, cholera, and malaria, as well as improve access to education, climate change, livelihoods, and health.
The government is also trying to use technology to increase the number of young Kenyans with novel ideas but with limited finances or understanding of how their innovations fit into the local and global health ecosystem.
