by David Indeje 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

[image: image.png] Dear Listers, Greetings to a new 2023. Before we figure out what it will be like, Mr John Walubengo helps us to review some of the hits, the misses within Kenya's ICT industry and at the same time what would a successful 2023 ICT future look like for Kenya? Key among them: ☑️We need to figure out, articulate, and implement what we want to extract from the global big tech companies ☑️We need to keep the momentum on the ‘COVID Digital Dividend’ ☑️We need a single source of truth or ‘dashboard’ to tell us where we are at implementing the many ICT-related documents. https://bit.ly/3Gj9LDG We welcome your thoughts on the same. -- *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje* *KICTANet Communications *_____________________________________ +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856 KICTANet portals KICTANet.or.ke <https://kictanet.or.ke/> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/kictanet> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/18428106/admin/> | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/KICTANet/>

They are an integral part of the final IGF 2022 Summary Report, which is now being formatted. It will be widely disseminated to stakeholders across the world. Please see the *messages here* <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/filedepot_download/257/24058>. *How do we want to shape the IGF 2023 Youth Track based on the experience and lessons learnt from this year? Please do share your advi**c**e to guide us through the **IGF Takingstock Call* <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/taking-stock-of-igf-2022-and-suggest…>* open until **16 January 2023**.* I use this opportunity to thank all of you for active support to youth track, to all the youth IGF leaders involved in the organization of the track, *listed here* <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-youth-track>, to all the speakers, moderators and rapporteurs of the four capacity development workshops and the Global Youth Summit.
