A multi-sectoral alliance committed to fostering a balanced, inclusive, and mentally healthy digital ecosystem.
In a world increasingly shaped by screens and connectivity, the Coalition was born to address the urgent need for digital balance. From toddlers with tablets to teens navigating social media, digital wellness is no longer optional, it’s essential. We believe in building resilience, awareness, and healthy habits through collective effort.
As screen time and technology use increasingly shape our lives at school, at home, and in the workplace, it's critical to redefine wellness in the digital age. True well-being now includes how we engage with technology—mindfully, safely, and sustainably.
Bring together key players from government, education, health, private tech companies, CSOs, youth networks, and parents to form a steering group that will guide CoDEW’s strategy, ensure inclusivity, and foster cross-sector collaboration.
Carry out research and consultations in schools, homes, and workplaces to understand the current digital habits, risks (e.g., screen overuse, cyberbullying), digital literacy levels, and mental health challenges. This will inform tailored interventions and identify key gaps.
Create localized tools such as parent guides, school curricula, screen-time trackers, and employer toolkits. Pilot these in selected counties or institutions to test their effectiveness and gather user feedback for improvement.
Pricing DescriptionUse data from pilot projects to refine and expand programs nationally through partnerships with government, schools, NGOs, and community networks. Focus on teacher training, youth engagement, and community sensitization.
Engage policymakers to integrate digital wellness into Kenya’s education, health, ICT, labor, and youth development frameworks. Propose policy briefs and position papers to influence national strategies on digital use and well-being.
