E-Government and Digital Service Delivery Training Course

This advanced course develops technical skills in e-government and digital public service delivery, covering citizen-centred service design, system integration strategy and digital adoption change management. Participants work through real digital government platform decisions rather than technology procurement processes alone, examining what separates platforms citizens genuinely use from those that sit underutilised. The course closes with a digital service design tested against a defined citizen service scenario.

E-government initiatives promise faster, more transparent and more accessible public services, yet many government digital platforms are built around internal administrative convenience rather than genuine citizen usability, resulting in low adoption despite significant technology investment.

Kenyan national and county government have invested substantially in digital platforms, from national systems to county-level e-services, with adoption and impact varying considerably depending on how citizen-centred the underlying design actually was. This advanced course moves beyond digital platform procurement into the citizen-centred design, system integration and change management decisions that determine whether e-government genuinely improves service delivery.

• Explain the components of effective e-government service design
• Apply citizen-centred design principles to public digital services
• Assess system integration requirements across government platforms
• Design digital adoption change management strategy
• Evaluate digital inclusion barriers and their mitigation
• Structure data governance and security for digital government services
• Identify common e-government implementation failures
• Assess digital service performance and usage measurement
• Advise institutions on e-government strategy strengthening

This course is suitable for:

• County and national government ICT and e-government officers
• Digital transformation and innovation programme managers
• Service delivery and citizen experience staff
• County executive committee members overseeing digital strategy
• Public sector business analysts and systems designers
• Development partner digital governance staff
• Data protection and cybersecurity staff supporting digital services
• County revenue and service digitisation project staff

The programme is delivered through facilitator-led technical sessions combined with citizen-centred design exercises, system integration case studies and a digital service design simulation, structured around small-group work and real or anonymised government digital platform material rather than lecture alone. Each module closes with a short applied task so participants leave with working tools rather than notes alone.

Institutions sending staff on this course can expect:

• Digital government services genuinely designed around citizen needs
• Improved adoption and usage of digital platforms
• Stronger system integration reducing duplication and data fragmentation
• Better-addressed digital inclusion for underserved populations

• Improved data governance and security across digital services
• Increased citizen trust and satisfaction with digital government
• A documented e-government strengthening strategy
• Stronger overall digital service delivery performance

By the close of this course, participants gain:

• Advanced technical skill in e-government and digital service design
• Confidence to apply citizen-centred design principles rigorously
• Sharper system integration assessment skills
• Practical experience designing digital adoption strategy
• Stronger standing in digital transformation discussions
