Alice As kictanet tries to be appraised and at the same time appraise itself, i believe the following is vital 1, is kicanet a project or progrmme of various project activities ? in any case what is the := (a) scope and how well is this stipulated and communicated to the stakeholders? (b)Maturity model status based on years of operation ( initial, repeatable,defined, managed and optimized status).what does the list pride itself of? (c)Governance model in realization of scope and model all together, maturity in relation to various aspects and phases of the same ? (d) Relationship to other displines ( skills and capacity building, general management, ICT environment knowledge and prractice and relevance to the indursty situation) (e) Ramification in relation to the current ICT best practices and ICT environmnet in Kenya generally I beleive the list has been very necesssary to the ICT sector in kenya and has contributed alot in relaization of the the open space we are experiencing today Else...i beleive at one point the legality of the list was brought to the open...if i can still recollect well..Else it all abought how the objectives of the initiative have been aligned to the general view and welbeing of iCt environment in Kenya and how applicable it has been to the stakeholkers which is undistubutable..

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