The facility is aimed to tap on the digital skills of youths in the area and act as a way of stemming out the bad name that the area has portrayed as a hotbed of mobile scammers.
The Facility will employ over 100,000 youth in software engineering.
Software facility also builds on the pillars of the Kenya Digital Economy Blueprint and the achievements of the Kenya National ICT Master Plan 2014 – 2017.
