Eric, The one done by UoN is funded by IDRC as public domain research (project approved April 2008). There's certainly need for synergy and no need for duplication of efforts. It would have been nice to have this information in the public domain.

Dear esteemed Listers (& apologies for cross-posting),
I must seek your apologies for having to bring forth the BPO
discussion ahead of the eContent Discussion as earlier planned.
This is due to the fact that the BPO research undertaken by UoN,
Prof. T. Waema et al has some strict publishing deadlines and he did
NOT want to go to press without feedback from the community.
We therefore seek your indulgence to ran the BPO discussion next
week from Tuesday 2nd June 2009 for 2weeks according to the
following themes and specifications:
e-Discussion outline:
1. The policy, legal and institutional frameworks for BPO sector
(2days, Walu moderating)
2. Subsidies accorded to BPO sector (2days, Walu moderating)
3. Human Capacity Issues (2days, Walu moderating)
4. Youth and Gender Issues (2days, Dr. C. Adeya moderating)
5. Strengths and Challenges for Kenya as a BPO destination (2days,
Dr. C. Adeya moderating)
The Aim of the e-discussion is to:
Present the interim findings from the BPO research team and to get
inputs from the ICT community and other e-participants in Kenya.
The Objectives of the e-discussion are:
* to share the interim findings of the BPO study
* to obtain inputs from the e-participants
* to begin to build consensus on the policy implications
The Outputs
The main output is a summary of the e-participants contributions.
This summary will be used to enrich the findings to be presented in
a stakeholders' workshop at the end of June 2009.
We look forward to your active contribution to this important
discussion next week and promise to run the eContent discussion soon
after.
walu.
