The government has allocated Sh8.6 billion to support Kenya’s digital economy and creative industry in the 2026-27 financial year, a decline from the Sh12.7 billion set aside for the ICT sector in the previous budget.

Half of this year’s allocation in the sector, Sh4.3 billion, will go towards the World Bank-backed Kenya Digital Economy Acceleration Project.
