More importantly should be the question what are we doing with the current data. There are also emerging new initiatives like the County/Focused initiative in conjunction with Strathmore and the Governors' council called Utawalaafrica.org.

Ali,

Open Data is on the strategic plan for MICT and ICTA. See http://www.icta.go.ke/draft-ogp-action-plan-kenya-2014/

I have heard users of that platform say it does not have updated data sets. I don''t know how true that is.

Regards

We have been really silent about open data for a while. It's time we take stock and ask whether we can breath new life into this initiative.  As we reflect on it an article I found  should put into perspective the gains, set backs and why this issue should be kept alive.
