It's amazing to see how much these kids have improved their digital skills since we started training them last year. This time, our focus was on helping them increase their computing speed and work more efficiently and confidently on the computer. Watching them grow with every session is a reminder of how access to digital skills can open doors to a brighter future.

Day 2/3 of our Digital Skills and Civic Tech Training at the OKA Nexus Rural Digital Hub. While many young people in urban areas are increasingly able to participate in online civic conversations, rural youth are often left behind due to limited access to digital tools, connectivity, and digital skills. Through this initiative, we are creating opportunities for rural young people to access technology, build confidence, and actively participate in digital governance and accountability discussions. Seeing participants engage with computers, explore digital platforms, and discover new ways to share their voices has been truly inspiring. We are working towards a future where geography does not determine who gets to participate in civic spaces.

Digital skills for all...

From Kenya (CLEAR BootCamp and GDC) to what was meant to be Zambia for RightsCon, and eventually South Africa for the BUILD Bootcamp, the journey has been both unexpected and insightful.

Each space reinforced one reflection: conversations about digital governance must move beyond theory and connect with the realities of communities often left out of digital transformation.

One discussion that stayed was on AI as a commons. It raised an important question: how do we meaningfully participate in AI usage, rather than only being consumers of it?

I was also inspired by how McDonald Lewanika simplifies complex ideas around digital governance, making them easier to understand and apply in real community contexts -Praise

These reflections continue to shape how we think about an initiative like OKA Rural Digital Hub, and the role it can play in making digital innovation more inclusive and accountable.

Last week, our team leader was in Nairobi, Kenya attending the CLEAR Bootcamp as a Digital Governance Incubate gaining valuable lessons, opportunities, and building strong networks with participants across Africa, all of which will strengthen our social enterprise.

We are building and refining our community-based digital solution by providing access to digital gadgets and information through our lab, promoting a clear understanding of civic rights and engagement, and strengthening the citizen–state relationship.

Through ALESA, the team leader also had the opportunity to attend the Global Democracy Coalition Africa Regional Forum under the theme “Reclaiming Our Democratic Promise.”

Special thanks to Accountability Lab East and Southern Africa (ALESA) for this opportunity.
