The National Optic Fibre Backbone is a project aimed at ensuring connectivity in all the 47 counties of Kenya both to ease communication across counties as well as improve government service delivery to the citizens such as the applications for national identity cards, passports and the registration of birth and death certificates. The project is being implemented in 2 phases: NOFBI Phase 1 which started in 2007 and involved laying 4,300 km of cable and NOFBI Phase 2 which kicked in in 2014 and was designed to add a further 2,100 km of cable.
