Digital space of Kenya

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the digital space in Kenya through the analysis of the degree of digital implementation by the state, ways of developing information platforms, language digitalization, the role of IT in education in Kenya, promoting the country's cultural identity, and the development of Internet commerce. As a result of the study, it was found that today's Internet space in Kenya continues to remain in line with the English-language Internet, despite the growing role of TikTok and Huawei. The introduction of digitalization in education and commerce continues to be affected by technical problems, insufficient digitalization of Kiswahili and a lack of qualified personnel. Despite many problems in the field of digitalization, the author comes to the conclusion that this area is developing well, which is facilitated by the loyalty of the population and attitudes towards transregional projects, including the involvement of private enterprises.
