In Kenya, digital transformation is no longer a luxury but a necessity for small businesses. Embracing digital tools and technologies enhances efficiency, opens access to new markets, and drives growth. However, overcoming challenges related to digital adoption requires ongoing support and investment.
Understanding the Digital Landscape for Kenyan SMEs
Kenya's micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) constitute over 90% of private sector enterprises and contribute approximately 24% to the country's GDP. Despite their significant role, many of these businesses face hurdles in adopting digital solutions, including limited access to ICT equipment, digital skills, and infrastructure.
