The pandemic (COVID-19) catalyzed an already accelerating rate of digital transformation, where the old way of life such as grocery shopping and work changed irreversibly. More than ever before, digital skills needed to embrace the transformation are critical to maintaining jobs and securing in-demand technology-dependent careers, as well as being essential to the survival of businesses. While this change has produced many benefits like greater flexibility for workers and removing geography as a barrier to hiring new talent, it has also resulted in the widening of an already-large digital skills gap. This is a problem that affects digital skills globally (UNCTAD, 2021). Kisumu likewise has been affected by the push to a digitalfocused world. 80% of youth in Kisumu lack digital skills (KNEOMA, 2019), meaning that youth who are already facing high unemployment rates are at greater risk of not accessing employment due to lack of these skills. On the flip side, the push to a digital world also means that youth have new income opportunities through new types of digital work, should they have the skills. This inspired Nyalenda Breadpower, to conduct research so as to better understand the relevant digital skills youth need to secure work opportunities in Kisumu.
