The Kenya School of Government (KSG) was established under the KSG Act No. 9 of 2012 (which came into effect on 1st July 2012), as a successor to the former Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA) and the Kenya Development Learning Centre (KDLC) and incorporates the four former Government Training Institutes (GTI’s), Mombasa, Matuga, Embu and Baringo.
The KSG was established to provide learning and development programmes to build public sector core competencies and inculcate public service values and ethics within the framework of a devolved system of government for a results-oriented public service.
The KSG – eLearning & Development Institute (eLDi) is one of the six campuses established under the School. The mandate of eLDi is to leverage Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in providing quality and innovative capacity development programmes in furtherance of the KSG mandate.
eLDi is equipped with a state-of-the art information communication technology infrastructure in Nairobi with an operational hub at the KSG Mombasa Campus. The Institute provides a conducive learning environment suitable for its local, regional and international clientele.
