Television as a development tool in sub-Saharan Africa. 74% of Kenyan households watch television once a week, compared to 24% in 2014.

Currently, 14.9 million Kenyan children under the age of 14 have access to television. Only eight of the country's 137 channels meet the regulatory requirement of broadcasting five hours a week of children's content. In April 2020, Akili Network launched Akili Kids!, a free television channel dedicated to children's learning. Since then, it has become the most watched children's channel in the country.
