Strengthening Early Childhood Development Through Multi-Sectoral Action in Garissa

The foundation of human capital is built in the earliest years of life,Today in Garissa, stakeholders from the County and National Governments, UN agencies, development partners, civil society and faith-based organisations came together for the 3rd Early Childhood Development (ECD) Multi-Sectoral Technical Working Group (TWG) inception meeting—an important step towards strengthening coordinated action for children and families across the county.

Presided over by H.E. Abdi Dagane, Deputy Governor of Garissa County, the meeting reaffirmed the importance of institutionalising the ECD TWG as a platform for coordinated planning, implementation, resource mobilisation, accountability and advocacy for sustained investment in the early years.

For the Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC), this milestone reflects a broader commitment to strengthening human capital development across the Frontier Counties through evidence, partnerships and locally responsive approaches. Through its partnership with the Aga Khan University Institute for Human Development (AKU-IHD), FCDC has supported the strengthening of ECD systems through the regional ECD baseline survey, development of the regional ECD plan, and piloting of county-level ECD Technical Working Groups.

The meeting also provided an opportunity to share learning from the PREPARE Study—Promoting Climate Resilience, Preparedness, Adaptation and Response for the Enhancement of Maternal and Child Well-being in Garissa County—highlighting the importance of understanding the intersection between climate change, vulnerability and maternal and child wellbeing.

Importantly, stakeholders moved from dialogue to action, committing to formalise the ECD TWG framework and Terms of Reference, develop joint and sector-specific workplans, strengthen coordination and accountability, mobilise resources to address priority ECD gaps, and sustain advocacy for integrated, equitable and evidence-informed investment in the early years.

FCDC appreciates all partners whose commitment is helping to build stronger systems for children and families across the Frontier Counties. The early years are the foundation of the future, and investing together today means creating stronger opportunities for every child to survive, learn, thrive and reach their full potential.

When Technology Meets Student Leadership

At Bishop Mahon Primary and Junior School in Turkana County, digital technology is becoming part of more than just classroom learning—it is helping shape how students participate in school life.

As one of the first cohort of Digital Literacy Programme (DLP) beneficiary schools in the county, the school recently embraced technology to conduct an electronic election for a new School President, following the transition of the previous student leader to the KJSEA level.

Using a digital voting application, students cast their votes electronically, while the results were displayed in real time on the school's smart board. This allowed the student community to follow the voting process as it unfolded, creating an engaging and practical experience of participation and transparency.

The experience demonstrates how digital tools can be applied beyond traditional teaching and learning—to build practical digital skills, encourage participation and introduce students to transparent processes from an early age.

For FCDC, experiences such as this highlight the importance of strengthening digital literacy and ensuring that technology creates meaningful opportunities for children and communities in the frontier counties.

From Inactive to Impact: Samburu Schools Receive Rehabilitated Digital Learning Devices.
A new chapter in strengthening digital learning is taking shape in Samburu County.

Headteachers have received rehabilitated Digital Literacy Programme tablets following a training and repair initiative supported by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC), in partnership with the County Government of Samburu, the Ministry of Education and the Inixon technical team.

The initiative goes beyond repairing faulty devices. Local ICT officers were trained in device handling, safety, component identification, troubleshooting, software support, testing and practical repair—building valuable technical capacity that can continue supporting schools long after the handover.

From repair to sustainability: Faulty tablets from schools were assessed, repaired, tested and prepared for return to the classroom.

From devices to learning: The rehabilitated tablets can now return to supporting learners and teachers in their digital learning journey.

From partnership to lasting impact: By investing in local technical skills, the programme seeks to reduce device downtime, protect existing digital-learning investments and strengthen the sustainability of technology in schools across Samburu.

Together, we are turning inactive devices into renewed opportunities for learning.

A digital learning device is more than a piece of technology. In the hands of a learner, it can be a gateway to knowledge, discovery and new possibilities.

But when that device stops working, it can quietly become just another piece of equipment sitting on a shelf.

That is why the work we are doing through the Samburu Localised Digital Learning Device Rehabilitation activity matters.

Over the past week, 4 trainers and 20 county trainees have been working across 10 schools in Samburu, diagnosing, repairing, testing and rehabilitating digital learning devices.

The result?

196 digital learning devices rehabilitated.

Across the 10 schools:

Lkuruto Primary — 29 devices
Muslim Primary — 24 devices
St. Paul’s Primary — 14 devices
Loikas Primary — 15 devices
Lporos Primary — 9 devices
Shabaa Primary — 11 devices
Tamiyoi Primary — 11 devices
Ledero Primary — 31 devices
Ngari Primary — 18 devices
Maralal DEB Primary — 34 devices
Yet, for us, the most important outcome goes beyond the 196 devices.
It is the 20 county trainees who are gaining practical technical skills that can remain within the community long after this particular field activity.

They are learning how to identify faults, carry out repairs, test devices and restore them to a usable condition — bringing technical support closer to the schools and learners who need it.

Because digital inclusion is not only about putting devices in schools.

It is also about creating the capacity to keep those devices working.

Every device restored means one less device sitting inactive.

Every skill developed means greater local capacity.

And every school reached brings us another step closer to a more sustainable approach to digital learning.

This is still an ongoing activity, and there is more to learn, more to do and more progress to share.

For now, we celebrate 196 devices moving from inactive to impact.

The work continues. The learning continues. And so does the journey.

58 DEVICES. TWO SCHOOLS. ONE POWERFUL MESSAGE: WHEN WE INVEST IN LOCAL SKILLS, WE CAN KEEP DIGITAL LEARNING ALIVE.

What happens when a digital learning device breaks down in a school? For many schools, a broken tablet can quickly become an unused tablet, sitting on a shelf and waiting for a solution that may be far away. But what if the solution could be found within the community itself? In Samburu, we are showing that it can.

Through the Samburu Localised Digital Learning Devices (LDDs) Rehabilitation initiative, technicians from the Ministry of Education and County Directorate of ICT are gaining practical, hands-on skills to diagnose, repair, test and restore devices that might otherwise remain inactive. Powered by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the initiative is about more than repairing tablets. It is about putting local people at the centre of digital learning sustainability and building the capacity needed to keep technology working for learners.

And the results are already speaking loudly. 22 devices were repaired during the training phase, followed by 36 devices repaired during Day Two of the actual repair work, bringing the cumulative total to 58 repaired devices.At Lkuruto Primary School,

Three days. 13 schools. 450 learners. One powerful digital journey.

The 2nd Digital Literacy Bootcamp has successfully concluded at Butiye Junior School in Moyale, building on the momentum of our first bootcamp in Wajir.

The three-day bootcamp, held from 11–13 September 2026, brought together approximately 450 learners from 13 schools across Moyale Town, with around 150 learners participating each day.

The journey began with a courtesy visit to the Moyale Sub-County Director of Education, Madam Safina Aga, and DSQASO, Mr Hussein Wato, ahead of three days of hands-on, learner-centred digital learning.

Through interactive and practical sessions, learners explored:

Foundational digital skills and computing
Creativity and innovation
Online safety and responsible digital citizenship
Collaboration and leadership
Future-ready skills and the opportunities technology can unlock
But beyond the numbers, what stood out most was the curiosity, creativity and growing confidence of the learners. From exploring new digital tools to creating, collaborating and sharing ideas, the bootcamp created a space for young people to see themselves not just as users of technology, but as creators and innovators.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Education, Teachers Service Commission (TSC), UNICEF, RPF, The Action Foundation, participating schools, ICT Champions, and everyone whose commitment and collaboration made this bootcamp possible.

The bootcamp may have come to an end, but the digital journey is only beginning.

At FCDC, we remain committed to expanding opportunities for children and young people to build the digital skills, confidence and capabilities they need to thrive in an increasingly connected world.

450 learners. 13 schools. A stronger foundation for the future.

17 DIGITAL LEARNING DEVICES RESTORED TO LIFE!

What happens when a digital learning device stops working? For a learner, it can mean losing access to digital content. For a teacher, it can mean losing an important classroom resource. And for a digital learning programme, it can mean an investment sitting idle.

In Samburu County, FCDC is helping change that story.

The Digital Learning Devices Rehabilitation Hub is now fully operational, providing a practical space where local technical capacity is being developed to repair, maintain and sustain digital learning devices. With support from the Raspberry Pi Foundation and technical guidance from Inixon Group of Companies, the first cohort of trainees from the Ministry of Education and County Directorates of ICT is receiving hands-on technical training.

And the results are already emerging: 17 non-functional tablets have been successfully repaired and restored to working condition.

But this is about much more than repairing 17 tablets.

It is about building the skills needed within our counties to keep digital learning technology working. It is about reducing device downtime, restoring learning resources to classrooms and ensuring that investments in digital education continue to benefit learners and teachers.

The support of the Raspberry Pi Foundation is helping make this possible by strengthening an approach to digital learning that looks beyond device deployment. Because providing technology is only one part of the journey. The real sustainability comes from having the people, skills and systems to maintain it.

For FCDC, the Rehabilitation Hub represents an important step towards building digital learning resilience across the Frontier Counties. The experience from this first cohort is demonstrating how local technical capacity can become an essential part of sustaining digital education.

The ambition now is to build on this foundation and, together with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Inixon Group of Companies, government institutions and other partners, extend this model to the **other nine Frontier Counties.

Imagine a future where a technical challenge does not mean a learning device has to remain unused for months. Imagine counties with trained

Localising Digital Device Rehabilitation: A New Chapter for Sustainable Digital Learning in the Frontier Counties

The Localised Rehabilitation of Digital Devices, powered by the Raspberry Pi Foundation (RPF) and implemented by the Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the County Government of Samburu, commenced this morning in Samburu County.

The pilot brings together the County Government, Ministry of Education, FCDC, Raspberry Pi Foundation and Inixon Group of Companies, the contracted technical partner leading the training, apprenticeship and hands-on rehabilitation of tablets earmarked for repair.

The initiative goes beyond repairing devices. It is about building local technical capacity, transferring skills, reducing downtime and establishing a sustainable model for maintaining digital learning equipment within the counties. By training local technicians and creating a functional rehabilitation hub, we are laying the foundation for a more responsive and locally owned digital learning ecosystem.

The opening session was enriched by encouraging remarks from County Executive Committee Member for Education, Mr. Mark Egelan; County Chief Officer for ICT, Mr. Jonathan Lengoloni; SCDE, representing the County Director of Education, Mr. Hussein Gufu, alongside representatives from RPF, FCDC and Inixon Group of Companies.

This is the first rehabilitation hub being piloted in the Frontier Counties region. We are particularly excited to see the proof of concept tested and validated in Samburu, with the ambition of subsequently expanding the model to Garissa and West Pokot, before scaling it to other counties across the Frontier Counties and, ultimately, contributing to a broader national approach to localised digital device maintenance.

Our sincere appreciation goes to the Raspberry Pi Foundation for entrusting FCDC to oversee this important pilot; the Ministry of Education for its leadership and partnership; and the County Government of Samburu for embracing and hosting this first-of-its-kind pilot.

A repaired device is more than a restored tablet—it is another child connected to an opportunity to learn. By investing in local capacity today, we are building a more sustainable digital learning future for our children tomorrow.
