[Daudi Were]

Full details in the posters attached.

Information and communication technologies play a critical role in the
administration and organisation of modern elections. The use of digital
technologies has grown to encompass the entire electoral process.

As Kenya enters the homestretch towards the 2022 General Elections,
preparations are underway by various key stakeholders towards holding
credible, peaceful, free and fair electoral processes. Journalists For
Justice (JFJ), working with the Angaza Movement, seeks to support the
promotion of transparency, verifiability, legitimacy, and meaningful public
participation in electoral processes in Kenya. The Angaza Movement is a
national & grassroots movement by a consortium of civic & human rights
organisations towards electoral integrity and political accountability in
Kenya.

JFJ is hosting a webinar today Tuesday 22 February and conference tomorrow
Wednesday 23 February to explore the key ICT issues around elections in
Kenya. We will examine the state of ICT preparedness of key institutions
and demystify the digital expertise, processes, and infrastructure that can
be used to deliver a successful election in Kenya. We will highlight issues
that should be on the national agenda around the state of ICT preparedness
of key institutions towards the holding of credible elections in 2022.
