According to the 1999 Kenya census, 8 provinces and 69 districts were classified into 497 divisions, 2,427 locations, and 6,612 sublocations. The 2010 Constitution restructured them into 47 counties, 290 sub-counties, and 1450 County Assembly Wards. The information about villages is not available to the public.
Half of Kenya’s population, or 20 million people, are expected to reside in villages, with at least half of them under the age of 25. It has a substantial impact on the 47 county governments’ development objectives, impacting the poorest and most vulnerable people in the village.
Extremism, corruption, negative ethnicity, tribalism, economic crises, declining donor funding, climate change, and cybercrime are all serious concerns for Kenyans.
Kenya’s government acknowledges accountability for developing rural and poorer counties. Counties and the federal government are spending so much money to upgrade roads, security, water, and sanitation in each of these regions. These efforts are fragmented, piecemeal, and incoherent. In most villages, there has been little development.
The county assembly has the authority to decide the number of village units in each county. Kijiji Yeetu is integrating a smart village in Ugunja Village, Siaya County, that activates multistakeholder discussion and empowers communities of practice through digital transformation. Villagers shall strive to collaborate with the Village Administrator in organizing, supervising, and overseeing the village unit administrative activities in governance, exercise of functions and powers, and participate in local administration. At the Village units, there will be an established village council to undertake activities including coordinating participation in governance, monitoring implementation of policies among any other function necessary for the county administration

Many organisations in our villages do not see digital technology, research, documentation, and learning practices as an important path forward.
The organization is focused on increasing projects in the villages that facilitate knowledge exchange, training, and research.
