Kenya ICT Board Pasha Centers (Digital Villages) Call for applications

Introduction

The Government of Kenya, through the Ministry of Information and Communication (MoIC), recognizes that the provision of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) goods and services is important for enabling economic and social development by improving communication and facilitating information flow.

The ICT sector is currently predominately in urban areas, resulting in disparities in the distribution of ICT facilities.

In order to address this disparity, the Kenya ICT Board (KICTB) is supporting the roll out of digital villages which have been branded Pasha Centre’s.

The revolving fund is a loan facility that will be used to set-up or scaling up of a centre. The loans will be repayable over a three (3) year period, but will have a flexible repayment period and below-market rate of interest — to a maximum of 10.5%.

The loan applicant will be required to finance at least 10% of the project cost while the revolving fund will finance up to 90% of the project cost. The objective of these loans is to enable prospective entrepreneurs to obtain access to credit which might not be available to them via existing micro—credit systems.
