The rapid shift toward cloud computing has redefined the role of ICT strategy and ICT technology alignment in supporting organizational digital transformation. Despite the growing adoption of cloud computing, many Universities struggle to achieve maturity of ICT strategy and technology alignment with the demands of cloud computing. Existing alignment models remain generic, failing to capture the maturity dimensions of ICT strategy and technology alignment within the African higher education context.

The evolution of distributed healthcare systems has accelerated the digitization of patient records and health data across facilities, yet semantic interoperability remains a critical challenge, particularly in low-resource contexts. This study explored the enablers of semantic interoperability in distributed health information systems in Kenya, focusing on the roles of Data Mapping Techniques, Security Techniques, Electronic Health Record (EHR) Standards, and System Usability.

The widespread adoption of Cloud-Based Services (CBS) has significantly increased the surface area for cyber threats, particularly targeting authentication mechanisms, which remain among the most vulnerable components of cloud security. This study aimed to address these challenges by developing, simulating and evaluating an Intelligent Zero Trust Architecture (IZTA) model tailored to mitigate authentication-related threats in CBS environments.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significant potential to assess, predict, and mitigate the risks associated with climate change. Counties in the North Rift region of Kenya, vital for food security and pastoral livelihoods, have been severely affected by climate change. However, previous studies have not utilized AI technologies to address these challenges. The purpose of the study was therefore to develop a mechanistic AI model that assess the effects of climate change on terrestrial plant diversity and land cover for sustainable livelihoods.

The exponential digitization of academic content has led to the widespread establishment of institutional repositories. However, in many developing contexts, challenges related to data accessibility and interoperability persist. These limitations hinder the effective integration and utilization of repository systems. This study investigated the role of Web Application Programming Interfaces (Web APIs) and Linked Data technologies in enhancing data integration performance (DIP) within academic digital repositories.

Seed sector plays a vital role in advancing agricultural sector. Lack of transparency has been highlighted by previous studies as the leading challenge in seed supply chain that has made farmers have limited access to reliable and sufficient seed information. This has led to purchase of counterfeit seeds resulting in crop failures, financial losses and low productivity among others. This study aimed to analyze data and develop an integrated AIBIoT model to enhance transparency seed supply chain.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya face persistent challenges in adopting social media for business communication despite its growing importance in enhancing competitiveness, customer engagement, and market visibility. In Siaya County, barriers such as high internet costs, low digital literacy, and infrastructural gaps hinder effective adoption. This study therefore sought to investigate the acceptability and usability of social media platforms and their influence on effective business communication among SMEs.

Learning Management Systems (LMS) have become integral to delivering online education in public universities. However, many institutions face challenges related to system downtime, scalability, infrastructure reliability, and security vulnerabilities, all of which hinder long-term LMS sustainability. This study aimed to develop a Sustainable Learning Management System Framework (SLMSF) for public universities in Kenya by integrating cloud computing infrastructure and robust security mechanisms.

IFMIS play a pivotal role in strengthening transparency, operational efficiency, and accountability within public sector reforms. In Kenya, IFMIS was launched in 2003 and decentralized to county governments in 2013. Despite its critical role in enhancing transparency and accountability, IFMIS lacks an integrated framework that combines sustainability with user-centered design, leaving a gap in achieving efficient and ecofriendly public financial management. The study addressed the persistent challenges of high energy consumption and poor usability in Kenya’s IFMIS, which increase operational costs, environmental impacts, and user dissatisfaction.

This study explores the transformative potential of extended reality (XR) technology in revolutionizing education, particularly within the Kenyan context, where its integration into the curriculum remains largely uncharted. Focusing specifically on grade three STEM subjects, with a key emphasis on mathematics—identified as an area most in need of technological integration—the research led to the development of an XR prototype centered on the geometry sub-strands of working with shapes and directions.

Computer networks bring along many benefits in the present day society. However, full benefits of computer networking are yet to be realized because of non-resilience issues. One of the sectors that has been a forefront user of computer networks and is yet to tap into its full benefits is universities. Although there are some techniques that have been explored to address computer network resilience issues universities pose a unique challenge due to the diverse conditions they present.

As online marketplaces continue to expand and evolve, the influence of user-generated content (UGC), product page design, and consumer behavior on purchasing decisions has become increasingly significant. The rapid growth of e-commerce platforms has heightened the need for a comprehensive understanding of the factors that drive consumer purchasing decisions. Despite substantial research in this area, the combined effects of UGC and product page design on consumer behavior remain underexplored.

The essence of a learning institution is to deliver its core services to clients in the best way possible which is done conventionally in most countries. Some of the conventional approaches used in teaching and learning failed amid COVID-19, making most of the learning institutions to suspend physical learning and resort to online platforms which required intensive use of ICT. The use of ICT to deliver services to clients is accompanied with various technical challenges that require frequent attention some of which are beyond the student’s technical know-how.

The growth of Information and communication technologies brought a significant change in learning. The spread of covid pandemic also forced universities to implement eLearning to support the students. eLearning is supported by different technologies and the universities are using amalgamation of eLearning technologies in supporting the teaching and learning processes. These technologies disorient the users when they want to integrate them during teaching and learning process.

Lately, the education sector had become a prime target for cyber-attacks. This was mainly because it had a lot of valuable data; it was potentially an easy target; it provided access to a larger network; and had a lot of users. Most of the secondary schools had been equipped with computers and computing devices. Majority of these schools had internet connectivity, making them vulnerable to cyber-attack.

The role financial service providers’ play in enhancing productivity by small-scale farmers cannot be over-emphasized. Limited access to financial services is one of the major challenges for small-scale farmers. Unfortunately, financial institutions tend to shy away from this group of clients. One of the major reasons, is the perceived high-risk profile of small-scale farmers Additionally, it is very difficult and sometimes expensive to perform risk scoring for the small-scale farmers.
