I attended the Kepsa/ICT luncheon the other day and the ICT Minister said that the stakeholders are not moving fast enough vis a vis implementing the objectives outlined in the ICT policy. Kepsa chair went further to display a magazine 'Business Africa' titled ICT Gold Harvest in East Africa. They probably have a point because we did not push the NESC to incorporate our contributions. Ayisi is a board member...so...he should probably be invited by Kictanet to explain this misnomer. Bill On 11/1/06, alice@apc.org <alice@apc.org> wrote:
It is such a pity that the fastest moving sector has not been given the attention and prominence it deserves, what with Safaricom's and other's contribution to the economy! Anyway we have been accused of moaning!
The draft vision was created by NESC, and from what I see the ICT "sector" cuts across the 3 main pillars Economic, social and political they have presented.They have outlined the project's approach which will take three phases, I see an immediate entry point for ICTs during phase one where they will "identify priority sectors with possibilities of quick wins"
Perhaps KICTAnet could work with the IC master plan team to ensure that links between the IC plan and the 2030 vision are created in all phases. Important to identify priority sectors with possibilities of quick wins.
