Circling the African continent and connecting intercontinental nodes. The initiative aligns with Kenya's Digital Superhighway and Creative Pillar agenda, which aims to deploy 100,000 kilometers of national fibre optic cable, establish 25,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots, build ICT hubs in every ward, and expand access to online government services.
