While still widely (and even wildly) talked about, the assumption of a 'digital divide' that follows this familiar geography of development has turned out to be too simple. Instead, a more complex map of actors, networked in a global info-politics, is emerging. *20/06/2005*, International <http://africa.rights.apc.org/index.shtml?apc=s30084e_1> WDR Online Dialogue: Diversifying Participation in Network Development <http://www.regulateonline.org/content/view/434/40/> The next WDR Online Dialogue is dedicated to the current WDR research theme, Diversifying Participation in Network Development, and will be held in the Dialogue section of this site, beginning 20 June 2005. *23/06/2005*, Rwanda <http://africa.rights.apc.org/index.shtml?apc=s21845e_1> The 2nd Rwanda ICT Convention: Theme: "e-Government: the Driving Force for Socio-Economical Development" <http://africa.rights.apc.org/index.shtml?apc=ee_1&x=32163> Organized by AITEC in association with the Rwanda Information Technology Authority (RITA).

Just Sh783 million for the Infocom Ministry?
by Emmanuel Njenga 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hello all Kenyans, I just noted with concern that the Infocom Ministry was allocated only sh783 million (about $ 9.8 USD) for the 2005/2006 budget making it amongst the lowest allocation to a ministry in Kenya..see more details here.. http://www.nationmedia.com/dailynation/nmgcontententry.asp?category_id=1&ne… ...I wonder how much this goes given the plans to implement the ICT policy..... I would like to believe that other ministries that have been allocated generous amounts (education, Health, OP and so forth) have plans to use the $$ on ICT related projects and thus compensate for the low amounts to the InfoCom ministry. And just highlight some interesting facts here - at a meeting in April this year in Addis Ababa, a comparison was made on how ICT allocations featured in several African countries with the following results.. the budget for 2005 allocated to institutions (or ministries) in charge of ICTs as percentage of total budget: 0.28% in South Africa, 1.89% in Mauritius, 1.27% in Botswana, 0.07% in Ghana and 1.47% in the case of Lesotho, so if we add Kenya here we would get 0.15 as % of the national budget. So really the question here is - what amounts will go to ICT spending from other ministries or does this mean we are stuck with only 0.15% (wonder how much of this is goes to salaries and/or other admin?) for the 05/06 year..is this the amount to look forward to implement the national ICT policy? Or are we going to rely/seek donor/private sector funds to implement the national ICT policy or what avenues exist to move forward with the plan once finalised...? I would to link this to the WSIS process that has spent a considerable time talking about financing for ICT development ...and we should looks at some of the reports to pick on some of the recommendations on financing ICT for developments. Here are two relevant reports.. * A New Policy Framework for ICTD A new ICTD policy could provide the overall policy guidelines that would need to be enacted by national governments in suitable policy and legislation as well as their MDG-based poverty reduction strategy and budget. http://africa.rights.apc.org/index.shtml?apc=re_1&x=30872 Task Force on Financial Mechanisms -final report http://www.itu.int/wsis/tffm/final-report.pdf Regards, Njenga ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Emmanuel Njenga Njuguna Africa Policy Monitor Project Association for Progressive Communications (APC) Email: africa.rights(a)apc.org or njenga(a)apc.org Web: http://africa.rights.apc.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fw: URGENT - feedback on site design for national advocacysites
by alice＠apc.org 20 May '05

20 May '05

Dear KICTANet members The APC/CATIA project is developing a national advocacy website for our activities in Kenya. Please look at the draft site: http://toolkit.ecn.cz/test/animators/3/ Keep in mind the following: - the text on the page is 'not real' and just there to give you a sense of what the design looks like, once you make your own site live you will have control over the text - the text at the top of the site will read: Catalysing Access to ICTs in [Kenya] .... i.o.w. where there is currently the word 'country' we shall replace it with the name of the relevant country - the site is database driven and hosted on the APC server so we won't need to worry about hosting, or HTML conversion - we will be able to customise the site to meet our own needs and even give it our own look and feel if we want to - We will be able to add content to the site by using forms into which we can paste, or type text - the site can share content with other CATIA sites, with APC national ICT policy sites and with the Africa ICT Policy Monitor Please could I have your feedback on the template by next week Tuesday? In particular can you comment on: - the design - does this general layout meet our needs? - categories (are they what you need? what is missing? what should be changed?) - overall look and feel - any other questions/comments. warm regards A.

Re: Appointment of New CCK Board
by alice＠apc.org 20 May '05

20 May '05

Dear All Thank you very much for the congratulatory messages. Although I have not received official confirmation, apart from a phone call from the Ministry's office I believe this appointment is in recognition of the work of the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANET) a multi stakeholder forum, consisting of civil society, academia, private sector, media, youth, gender groups and development partners. I must also congratulate the Kenya government for acknowledging that the complexities of meeting the challenges of ICTs as an enabler of sustainable development requires bringing together major stakeholders in a new form of decision finding, decision-making and communication. I hope this will provide an opportunity for a truly participatory process. A.
