It coordinates and manages the day-to-day operations of the Programme.

Huduma Kenya has operationalised and managed four service delivery channels.

They include 53 Huduma Centers across 47 Counties, Huduma Contact and Tele-Counselling Center, accessible through the call number 1919, Huduma Mashinani outreaches and Huduma Electronic and Mobile.

The platforms provide self-service, assisted and Digital Government Services under one roof from various ministries, counties, departments and agencies.

Huduma Kenya is celebrated for its transformative and citizen-centric approach to Public Service Delivery.

The Huduma Kenya programme was created to facilitate the provision of a wide array of government services in a single unit dubbed Huduma Centre.

For this reason, Huduma Kenya merges numerous related public services within one location, possibly on the same floor so that Kenyans can easily access them.

The first Huduma Center Nairobi was launched in 2013 by former President Uhuru Kenyatta alongside then Deputy William Ruto at the Teleposta Building in Nairobi. 

Some of the services offered at the centres include the issuance of driver’s licences, national identity cards, and the National Social Security Fund (NSSF).

Other are National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) registration and claims, HELB – Student Loan Application and Repayments, Registration of Welfare Groups, issuance of police abstracts, single business permit and stamp duty assessment among others.
