Update on Pasha Centres
by Paul Kukubo 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Listers Ø Kenya ICT Board will facilitate the establishment of digital access centers, to be known as Pasha Centres across the country. Ø Facilitation will take the following form o An Entrepreneurs will obtain a loan from Family Bank for up to a maximum of Kshs 3M to set-up or expand and existing digital access centre. o Kenya ICT Board will provide a technical consultant to support the technical set up and management. o Branding and communication support in order to manage the Pasha Brand and drive consumer interest and usage. o Management of the Pasha Community portal to allow collaboration and knowledge sharing among Pasha managers. o Continuous Training and skills development for Pasha Owners. o Liaison with public sector and local and international content providers who may want to access the public through the Pasha network. Ø *Pasha Centres will provide a variety of services that could include the following:* o Internet access, including serving as wifi hotspot providers for the area. o Training and educational material provision o Mobile and agency banking o Other retail services o Money transfer services o Government services o Jobs bureau o Supply chain facilitation including assisting retailers and wholesalers with IT needs o Technology support centres for the region o Tourism support o NGO Liaison support o Data collection for government, NGOs and private sector o Business Process outsourcing and data entry services *The Plan* Ø Monday 24th January 2011, public launch of Pasha Project. Ø Target date for first disbursement of loan is 90 days from launch date. The disbursing bank will require 90 days to review applicants and conclude initial loan disbursements. Ø Disbursements will be made to entrepreneurs who fulfill agreed conditions and don’t necessarily have to be among those that had received Pasha training prior. Kenya ICT Board in 2009 and 2010 had conducted nationwide 3 week training of 1000 people in business management, entrepreneurship, marketing, basic accounting and technical management (a starter-kit) to prepare potential pasha managers to run Pasha centre. Ø The agreement with the bank is to ensure we disburse at least one loan per county within the year. Our eventual target is to have 210 pasha centers, one in each constituency by 2012. We shall asses the appetite and would not be surprised if the demand for loans exceeds our target. Ø We shall encourage entrepreneurs to partner with the networks and any other organizations to beef up their business plans in preparation for loan application and to make their businesses more commercially viable. *Mechanics of disbursement * All applications will be forwarded to family bank for commercial assessment. Family bank and an committee appointed by the Kenya ICT Board will assess the best loan candidates on a set of agreed criteria and award the loan against this and a sound and verified business plan. We shall be keen to ensure that people don’t push through paper plans for the sake of cash.

Asian and Pacific Training Centre for Information and Communication Technology for Development (APCICT) Academy Training Modules
by Victor Gathara 08 Dec '10

These training modules aim to help government leaders understand the role that new technologies can play in meeting national development needs in education, health, good governance, business, and trade... http://www.unapcict.org/academy/academy-modules/english I think this could be a useful resource for some on the list. I wonder if we have a similar centre in Africa?

Universal Access in Kenya (Is it really working?)
by Edith Adera 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Listers, For those of you who missed the ICT/Poverty conference this morning, one of the prominent issues that came out is the fact that Kenya is NOT doing enough to address universal access to communication services! As a result, issues of vulnerability, asset poverty and physical poverty (access to services) persist! Comparative results from our neighbours in East Africa shows that they are scoring on some of these issues. There's talk of digital villages and the UA Fund - yet there is no delivery! what's not going right? Edith

Orange stinks as a registrar

Hi, I found out that KENIC was down after I noticed that mail sent to my domain hosted by Orange/Telkom was bouncing. Now that KENIC is back up I check the status of my domain and notice that it expired on the 19th of November yet they did not find it necessary to notify me of this, farewell one can only take so such cow dung. Orange is beyond repair, period, can someone give me the URL to safaricoms domain registration page Regards PS. Apologies to KENIC, my bouncing mail was not your fault but my incompetent registrar Robert Yawe KAY System Technologies Ltd Phoenix House, 6th Floor P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200 Kenya Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696

Re: [kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General
by Jane Kagiri 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hi Robert, Thank you for a very well outlined vision. How I wish the appointing authority would give you an opportunity. Meanwhile,I choose to strongly disagree with Bwana PS in regard to the legacy issues he raised. Yawe's vision is comprised of income generating ideas e.g.Renting out banking hall space, Advertising, Selling airtime etc,very minimal resources are required and if anything the organisation would be assured of immediate returns.From the vision I also see numerous job opportunities being created through Ecomerce and the eventual door delivery of mail. Listers, I draw inspiration from how Hon Michuki transformed the public transport sector. He used the same staff his predecessors had used,no retraining,no retrenchment or work force overhaul;just a man who decided to bring sanity on the roads and sanity he brought. Similarly,it also took one man,same task force,same conditions,to undo all what had been done by Hon Michuki at Ministry of Transport. Again Hon Michuki moved to Min of Enviroment,we could have heard excuses of how much resources were needed to clean Nairobi river........................again the river got cleaned. Personally I believe its all dependent on the person at the top. Under our current situation I dont expect Yawe to immediately replace Maj Gen Hussein Ali but the least I would have expected is in the meantime Yawe be introduced to the Post Master General to share on how some of his ideas can be implemented as we wait for the resource and legacy issues to get resolved. Jane Kagiri kagirijane(a)yahoo.com Its impossible to build a tribute of success on a foundation of excuses.

Re: [kictanet] The Cables and more...

Francis, You are correct, the IDC statistics might give a better picture if they reflected broadband adoption for households to include families who may be sharing a connection as well as broadband on mobile devices using my nephew as an example -- he is on Facebook 24/7 using his mobile these days, and I am not sure at what speeds. Is there a standard definition of "broadband penetration" in the industry?

A really large chunk of this comprises business BB connections. 3 - Presently Mobile BB may not really ramp up the figures (at least not more than a quarter of a percentage point i.e. 0.25% ) much since; a) the devices (USB Modems/Smartphones) that allow speeds of >256kbps are not that many (and we will soon be tracking these as well), b) The present coverage of 3G also distorts the true measure of MOBILE broadband Rgds Francis On 5 December 2010 19:56, <pkukubo(a)ict.go.ke> wrote: True Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone from Zain Kenya -----Original Message----- From: Lucy Kimani <lkimani(a)yahoo.com> Sender: kictanet-bounces+pkukubo=ict.go.ke(a)lists.kictanet.or.keDate: Sun, 5 Dec 2010 07:05:31 To: <pkukubo(a)ict.go.ke> Cc: KICTAnet KICTAnet<kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Subject: Re: [kictanet] The Cables and more... _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: pkukubo(a)ict.go.ke Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/pkukubo%40ict.go.ke _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: francis.hook(a)gmail.com Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/francis.hook%40gmail.c… -- Francis Hook +254 733 504561 -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: lkimani(a)yahoo.com Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/lkimani%40yahoo.com
