You're right: with a champion everything is possible; without one nothing is. We hope we'll find one in the Rotary world... but even the finding of the champion takes time and energy! With our teambuilding centre. The DEPOT, we are making some headway through the CSR route, as a way of leveraging/replicating a proven approach. Regards Mike Eldon "Brightwater" <brightwater@afri caonline.co.ke> To <meldon(a)symphony.co.ke> 04/13/2005 04:13 cc PM <andrew(a)aitecafrica.com>, "Kenya ICT Policy - kictanet" <kictanet(a)kictanet.or.ke>, <povertyreduction(a)arcc.or.ke>, <twillard(a)iisd.ca>, <evelynmungai(a)evelyncol.com> Subject RE: [Kictanet] ICTs-4-MDGs presentation My recent experience with setting up Starehe Girls' Centre is that one needs a champion for a project such as this. In your case you initiated Cura and then had a group from the Rotary and the community to move it forward. In the case of SGC we have had Dr. Eddah Gachukia leading a number of us - mainly "girls" that work on a pro bono basis. This group split into committees, takes responsibility for moving decisions on planning, fundraising, recruitment etc forward. Our experience is that Corporate bodies are willing to engage with such initiatives but prefer to take "chunks" that are aligned to their own stated CSR areas or core business If one takes this approach and as long as it is seen as genuine the corp. fraternity seems happy to engage.

On paper with the additional details it is even more impressive. It is interesting to note how ICT has been used as the entry point here and from where the rest of other initiatives flow.

[Kictanet] NEMA, Sustainable Development and the National ICT Policy
by Wainaina Mungai 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

Dear Prof. Michieka, Attached is a summary of the comments emphasizing sustainable development priciples (ecological sustainability etc) as submitted to the Ministry of Information and Communication in relation to the Draft ICT Policy. It is part of the research we had earlier discussed. Your feedback and support for the principles advanced will be of value to the process. As per the mail below, the Ministry of Info. & Comm. will have a preparatory workshop at the Kenya School of Law on April 21 and 22 in preparation for the final meeting in Mombasa on May 8-11, 2005. Attendees will be mainly Ministries and parastatals. I would suggest that NEMA arrange to make its input to the Draft ICT Policy. I believe the attached document will be of value to you and whole sustainable development fraternity.

I agree and join FE in appreciating the occasional input from the PS. It gives us double benefit. One, it encourages us and assures us that our discussions shall (might?) eventually be incorporated in the National ICT policy and secondly, though quite broad it remains relevant and important...it makes us realise that indeed there is (might be?) some real change in government (after all). In the absence of a wiling government (e-Leaders), all the technical and human capacity that is widely abundant in Kenya shall go to waste or shall relocate to the west - whichever is easier. walu. >>> Florence Etta <Fetta(a)idrc.or.ke> 04/15/05 09:09am >>> Dear Bwana PS, It gives me great pleasure to see that you appreciate the work that KICTANet and to a smaller extent KIP is doing. All of the enthusiasm is directly related to your openness and support of the work that all the members of KICTAnet are doing for Kenya and we'd like to say a big thank you too.

Hi Shem I have had a good look at the draft programme that we shared with the lists earlier and I have made a couple of changes for one if we are talking about an ICT for poverty reduction round table we must allow for more time for plenary discussions. So I have reduced the panellists time to 6 minutes each and more time to plenary discussions Secondly PS Rege can not act as a moderator. Rather he should officiate the opening. So have altered that as well. We also do not need to have more than one moderator for each session. I have therefore removed myself from the responsibilities of moderating the morning session.

06 Apr '05

See: http://www.wsis-japan.jp --------------------------------------------- Tokyo Ubiquitous Network Conference WSIS thematic meeting "Toward the realization of the Ubiquitous Network Society" - anytime, anywhere, by anything and anyone - The gubiquitous network societyh, which will make it possible to connect anytime, anywhere, by anything and anyone, is now rapidly becoming more than just a concept. In a ubiquitous network society, everyone and everything can be connected, and new innovations that will completely change the current dimension of ICT are anticipated. In the ideal ubiquitous network society, smooth interaction, reflection of usersf needs and points of view as well as the tapping of individual energy are set to be realized. The Geneva Phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) adopted the Declaration of Principles and the Plan of Action. These Summit documents highlighted the importance of developing information and communications infrastructure that brings ubiquitous and affordable access to the network. Our vision of the ubiquitous network society would meet these requirements. To further promote this ideal network society, the Japanese government, ITU and the UN University will co-organize the Tokyo Ubiquitous Network Conference, as a WSIS thematic meeting. The conference will discuss specific measures to overcome foreseeable problems, ensure that such a society is realized, and make proposals. Meeting details are given below. Date and location Mon. 16 May - Tue. 17 May 2005 in Tokyo Japan Hosts Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and United Nations University (UNU) Venue Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo Tel: +81 3 3344 0111 Fax: +81 3 3345 8269 Address: 2-2-1 Nishi-shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 160-8330 Japan Participants Approximately 400 persons drawn from the governments, international organizations, the private sector and civil societies.

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.
