The ICT sector in Kenya has been experiencing robust growth, creating numerous job opportunities, especially for young people (ILO 2023). With the increasing reliance on remote work, e-learning, digital content creation, and digital entrepreneurship, the need for reliable and high-speed internet connectivity, such as FTTH, is paramount. This trend is expected to continue driving the demand for FTTH services in urban and peri-urban areas across Kenya.
