RE: [Kictanet] Fw: Dialogue on "Poverty Reduction and ICTs"
by Shem Ochuodho 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Wainaina, Have perused some of the stuff you are working on, which look pretty interesting - and very much in line with what we are trying to do with "Poverty Reduction and ICTs". In choice of words, I am very careful not to reverse the order (ie "ICTs and Poverty Reduction", ICT4D, etc) for the fear that that may misplace the emphasis. Indeed, though conventionally "poverty reduction" is often taken to be part/aspect of "development", hence the assumption that "ICT for Development (ICT4D)" includes "ICTs for poverty reduction", I am tempted to think the term "development" is an understatement of "poverty reduction". I would rather see the latter more as "survival" than "development"; but I could be wrong! Anyhow, the "Poverty Reduction and ICTs" Roundtable meeting comes up next week Tuesday 12th April at Landmark Hotel; thanks to CATIA, TESPOK and ICT Policy Consortium - Africa for sponsorship. It shall be co-hosted by ARCC, Media Council, KICTANet, ICT Policy Centre, UoN IDS, KIPPRA, etc. There is a strong feeling from some members of the Consortium to agitate for "Poverty Reduction [and ICTs]" to be Chapter 2 (after Introduction) in the Draft ICT Policy to give this aspect the desired weight. We shall shortly be posting the Roundtable agenda. Perhaps TakingITGlobal could present on "MDGs and ICTs". Rgrds, Shem, ARCC PS: Apologies for cross-posting. For other members of the various lists, please treat this as an invitation to present or participate at the Roundtable. -----Original Message----- From: Wainaina Mungai [mailto:wainaina.mungai@oneworld.net] Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 1:14 PM To: shem(a)arcc.or.ke Cc: povertyreduction(a)arcc.or.ke Subject: Re: [Kictanet] Fw: Dialogue on "Poverty Reduction and ICTs" Hallo Shem, I noticed the ICT and Poverty Reduction paper you are working on.

Yours Truelly, Somehow I forgot to send the online version of sympathy, kindly acept this belated one. I was once comforted by a good friend when I lost my dad two years ago, and he told me to alwways remeber as I grief, that my father also had his father,who also had a father etc.and they all passed away. Likewise, your dear mum, had a mum, who also had a mum etc.. Take it in stride and cheer up.
