Parliamanterians at Policy Meeting
by waudo siganga 10 May '05

10 May '05

Dear Alice, All I had a meeting yesterday with our Ambassador (Mary Odinga) here in Cairo and in the discussions arose the question of whether arrangements have been made to ensure Parliamentarians will be at the Mombasa Policy meeting. I did need not have any information on this but the ambassador was of the opinion we must ensure the invitation is sent out to Parliamentarians. Any info? In the meantime Brian Longwe made a very well received presentation to the Africa ICT ministers on the Africa Regional IxP program. It's also relieving to see Mungusi back at CCK. He is amongst the Kenyans here in Cairo. Kind Regards Waudo Siganga UN WGIG -- waudo siganga emailsignet(a)mailcan.com

National ICT Stakaholders Conference Mombasa
by alice＠apc.org 08 May '05

08 May '05

Dear Colleagues During the ICT donor round table and Ministry of Information and Communications meeting held on Tuesday 3rd May 2005, Florence Etta, Shem Ochudho and I were requested to join the organising committee constituted for the national ICT Stakeholders workshop. The organising committee chair Mr. Mugabe had suggested 6th May for the first committee meeting, but unfortunately this meeting did not take place. So I have nothing much to report apart from the following issues that were discussed informally 1. The workshop has been postponed to June 6-8 2005 in view of a number of other communication related events taking place during the month of May 2. The letter requesting for funding has been drafted and I believe posted to the various organisations that had expressed interest in supporting the event. 3. Mr. Mugabe said he would communicate to us about a suitable date for the next organising committee meeting thanks and kind regards A.
