India and Kenya have taken a major step in digital collaboration with the signing of an Implementation Framework Agreement for a DigiLocker pilot project in Kenya.
The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi.
Under the initiative, the National e-Governance Division of India’s Ministry of ICT will co-develop the DigiLocker solution, fully customised to meet Kenyan requirements.
The project is part of India’s Development Cooperation Programme through the Ministry of External Affairs.
The DigiLocker platform allows secure digital storage and real-time verification of official documents.
It aims to reduce paperwork and improve access to public services for citizens, students, and businesses, supporting inclusive Digital Public Infrastructure collaboration between the two countries.
In India, DigiLocker has more than 500 million registered users and has issued over nine billion documents digitally across more than 2,000 services.
The platform has become a key component of paperless, presence-less governance in the country.
