ICT Professional Accreditation Portal
The ICT Authority, as a key mandate, develops and enforces ICT standards in public sector agencies as an initiative for rationalization of ICT investments; fostering cost effectiveness through economies of scales and controlled duplication; optimizing value through use of standardized and repeatable processes as well as streamlined and reduced/controlled diversity of ICT operational and support skills and tools.
Pursuant to this broad mandate, the Authority introduced a scheme of accreditation of ICT professionals in public agencies in accordance with the GoK IT Governance Standard in October 2020.The accreditation has the twin benefits of ensuring development and retention of a standard level of professionalism in hiring of ICT officers in Government as well as creating a forum for promotion of the industry agenda at the national level. Further, this process supports the implementation of the National Digital Master-plan 2022-2032.
