Dear Walu, let me be your first "customer" on this. I consider KICTANet to
be a multi-stakeholder network for knowledge sharing and advocacy in the
area of ICT4D. I feel that for the last past year or so a lot of work has
gone into policy advocacy issues but little on knowledge sharing(KS).
KS Networks help not only to reduce the repetition of mistakes in projects,
but also the reinventing of wheels and leads to more effective and
sustainable technological solutions through sharing of ideas, experiences
which in turn encourage innovation and adoption of best practices.
Kindest Regards
Harry

Hey,
there seems to be a loud silence on my earlier question -
what is your vision for KICTANet. And remember there is
only 32hrs remaining on this question before we move onto
the next issue on Mission.
Maybe we rephrase the question a bit. What HAS BEEN your
understanding of KICTANet? For most of you who have
interacted with KICTANet over the last year would agree
that it has meant many things to different people. That is
what we need to hear. What has been your understanding of
KICTANet over this period, how different (if so) do you
feel it should proceed?
Bill, Dr. Juma, Sparrow, FE, Limo, et al, plse come out of
the woodwork ;-)!
