The eLearning & Development Institute (eLDi) of the Kenya School of Government (KSG) (formerly known as Kenya Development Learning Centre - KDLC) was established under the Ministry of State for Public Service in 2003 by an order of the Minister of Education, Science and Technology under section 10 of the Education Act Cap 211 of the laws of Kenya. The Kenya School of Government Act became effective on July 1st 2012. There are six institutions under KSG: eLDi, Baringo, Embu, Matuga, Mombasa and Nairobi. The overall objective of the eLDi is to be an effective and sustainable global knowledge-sharing institution that provides relevant training opportunities to Kenyans and ultimately enhances the capacities of public officers and key decision makers in including those in the private and the civil society sectors. eLDi is an affiliate of the Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) a worldwide partnership of over 120 learning centers in 80 countries that use technologies and distance learning techniques innovatively to connect people working around the world for capacity building events. eLDi is equipped with the state-of-the art information communication technologies that includes an air conditioned and sound proof video conference room and multimedia laboratories with high internet speed. This provides a conducive learning environment in addition to the green, serene and beautiful surroundings of the Lower Kabete area where the centre is located.
