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.
