Ndemo for raising the issue of KICTANet's role etc<br><br>KICTANet is currently conducting an institutional assessment exercise <br>supported by the IDRC. This exercise will respond/answer some of the <br>issues presented by the P.S. among others. The objective of the <br>assessment will be to establish KICTANet’s organizational strengths and <br>weaknesses, and to develop specific recommendations of areas that will <br>require institutional strengthening. This
 will help ensure that the <br>network continues to provide effective mechanisms for cooperation and <br>collaboration between stakeholders in support of ICT-led growth and <br>development in Kenya.<br><br>We do need to understand the network's present capacity, identify gaps <br>and look for ways of addressing them. We certainly need a one/two day <br>forum to strategise on reforming,/strengthening KICTANet.<br><br>best<br>alice<br><br><br><br><br>&gt;<br>&gt; In my view Kicktanet is a wonderful organization but it has remained a<br>&gt; virtual club.  We need to move its agenda a notch higher to create<br>&gt; interface between policy making and the citizenry.  I have given my views<br>&gt; on this to the consultant but we should one day have an holds barred<br>&gt; seminar to reform this noble organization.<br>&gt;   <br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>kictanet mailing
