Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 6 of 10: How to Accelerate eGovt Services
Listers, Many thanks to those who have contributed to day 4 and day 5. The threads are still open provided you respond under the correct thread. We also encourage listers to edit the policy directly on the Jadili platform http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy. Today we focus on the following topics: *eHealth, eAgriculture, eTransport, eGovt, eLearning *ICT regional (county) incentives) *ICTs in Society, Culture The Background Government is the single biggest consumers of ICT goods and services. A highly digitised government operation not only improves transparency and accountability but can accelerate ICT opportunities for the local ICT enterprises dealing in software development, system integration, equipment resellers amongst others. What are the bottlenecks around eGovernment? Other than Huduma Centers, KRA and bit of NTSA, there seems to be very little ICTs in other government departments and agencies. What poliices and strategies can unlock the full potential of eGovt? Send in your views Today. -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A
Morning All, Its commendable that some of the government projects and initiatives have taken off, case in point is Huduma centre, which over and above operating in an E-platform, prides itself in customer service excellence which goes a long way in winning the public confidence. The question then is what makes is the barrier towards replicating the success of such projects across the ecosystem? This one question if answered will provide a framework for the implementation of a successful system across board. One key gap that sets us back is cultural in nature, the silo mentality that Government departments operate in. To create a successful ecosystem there needs to be a shift. This cultural shift will not be won by hardware nor system installation but active engagement with the players to shift mindsets. This can then be followed up with policy regulation framework to funnel into singularity of purpose.

Colleagues, I believe eGovernment suffers most when the silo mentality is not addressed and when it is itself yet another silo. From the more mundane issues of lack of interoperability at the hardware or software level to the unwillingness of departments to collaborate across ministries due to perennial turf wars and the disconnect between those in technology planning/acquisition and the real world. For instance, Agriculture, Health, Education, Transport, ICT, Labor and Finance have to coordinate. Nutrition sits in two ministries (Health and Agriculture) and is affected by all the others. Agriculture relies on all the others for infrastructure, human capital and financing while being joined at the hip with the non-communicable diseases department of the Ministry of Health. Policy guidance on government programming and coordination therefore provides the state with a framework for implementation of its development agenda and guidance for implementation and support of eGovernment. Everything is interconnected/interdependent and that acknowledgement should be evident in how eGovernment is implemented as well as the sector strategic plans. The Kenyan government has made strides towards better coordination, especially with the program-based budget approach and adherence to the medium term planning framework but a lot more needs to be done to ensure systems and personnel are on the same page as the those developing policy for coordination and integration. With minimal political interference. One way to make things better is to ensure those in the ICT Authority responsible for eGovernment have a seat at the table in the Medium Term Plan committee, the MTEF committee and the intergovernmental coordination institutions like IBEC and the Intergovernmental Technical Relations Committee. @muchiri

It would be great if there was increased information sharing between the various government agencies especially from a customer service perspective. This will reduce the red-tape involved in the handling of basic information about citizens in the various state agencies. Making applications in various agencies is tedious and repetitive, once the government has a Citizen's ID and PIN everything else should be smooth sailing no matter the entity.

@ Rosemary, This is true, one other major headache in the existence of brokers in government departments who render e-services ineffective, we need a proper solution that will stamp out this 'consultants', not sure if policy can address this or whether it is an issue of law enforcement.

@ Muchiri, Many thanks for your intervention, how do we loop in structures at county government level given the social and economic investment we have made in the county governments through the devolution programme? is there need for harmonization?

This one question if answered will provide a framework for the implementation of a successful system across board.
One key gap that sets us back is cultural in nature, the silo mentality that Government departments operate in. To create a successful ecosystem there needs to be a shift. This cultural shift will not be won by hardware nor system installation but active engagement with the players to shift mindsets.

We also encourage listers to edit the policy directly on the Jadili platform http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy <http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy>.
Today we focus on the following topics:
*eHealth, eAgriculture, eTransport, eGovt, eLearning *ICT regional (county) incentives) *ICTs in Society, Culture
The Background
Government is the single biggest consumers of ICT goods and services. A highly digitised government operation not only improves transparency and accountability but can accelerate ICT opportunities for the local ICT enterprises dealing in software development, system integration, equipment resellers amongst others.
What are the bottlenecks around eGovernment? Other than Huduma Centers, KRA and bit of NTSA, there seems to be very little ICTs in other government departments and agencies. What poliices and strategies can unlock the full potential of eGovt?

I think there’s definitely need for harmonisation. A good entry point would be the Council of Governors committee responsible for ICT. Being non-techies and already keenly aware of the development agenda they are implementing in the counties it would probably help to ‘de-silo’ the eGov conversation at the sub-national level. Thereafter convening the CECs for ICT together with their national government counterparts (Ministry and iCTA) into a policy forum would be create an opportunity to bring the public sector actors together to agree on harmonisation of standards, priority areas, timelines and to explore financing options. The CECs probably already convene under the CoG so there would be no creation of a new body as such. The input from the forum would be presented to the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council via the CoG Committee responsible for ICT and hopefully inform resource allocation down the chain.

Many thanks Muchiri, very interesting perspective that would help the government a great deal deal, i totally agree with you sentiments. I also welcome you to edit the policy directly on the Jadili platform to ensure your comments are included in the draft , we can always correct it during the face to face meeting.

Its commendable that some of the government projects and initiatives have taken off, case in point is Huduma centre, which over and above operating in an E-platform, prides itself in customer service excellence which goes a long way in winning the public confidence.
The question then is what makes is the barrier towards replicating the success of such projects across the ecosystem?
This one question if answered will provide a framework for the implementation of a successful system across board.
One key gap that sets us back is cultural in nature, the silo mentality that Government departments operate in. To create a successful ecosystem there needs to be a shift. This cultural shift will not be won by hardware nor system installation but active engagement with the players to shift mindsets. This can then be followed up with policy regulation framework to funnel into singularity of purpose.

Listers,
Many thanks to those who have contributed to day 4 and day 5. The threads are still open provided you respond under the correct thread. We also encourage listers to edit the policy directly on the Jadili platform http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy <http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy> <http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy <http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy>>.
Today we focus on the following topics:
*eHealth, eAgriculture, eTransport, eGovt, eLearning *ICT regional (county) incentives) *ICTs in Society, Culture
The Background
Government is the single biggest consumers of ICT goods and services. A highly digitised government operation not only improves transparency and accountability but can accelerate ICT opportunities for the local ICT enterprises dealing in software development, system integration, equipment resellers amongst others.
What are the bottlenecks around eGovernment? Other than Huduma Centers, KRA and bit of NTSA, there seems to be very little ICTs in other government departments and agencies. What poliices and strategies can unlock the full potential of eGovt?
Send in your views Today.

I think there’s definitely need for harmonisation. A good entry point would be the Council of Governors committee responsible for ICT. Being non-techies and already keenly aware of the development agenda they are implementing in the counties it would probably help to ‘de-silo’ the eGov conversation at the sub-national level. Thereafter convening the CECs for ICT together with their national government counterparts (Ministry and iCTA) into a policy forum would be create an opportunity to bring the public sector actors together to agree on harmonisation of standards, priority areas, timelines and to explore financing options. The CECs probably already convene under the CoG so there would be no creation of a new body as such. The input from the forum would be presented to the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council via the CoG Committee responsible for ICT and hopefully inform resource allocation down the chain.

Colleagues,
I believe eGovernment suffers most when the silo mentality is not addressed and when it is itself yet another silo. From the more mundane issues of lack of interoperability at the hardware or software level to the unwillingness of departments to collaborate across ministries due to perennial turf wars and the disconnect between those in technology planning/acquisition and the real world.
For instance, Agriculture, Health, Education, Transport, ICT, Labor and Finance have to coordinate. Nutrition sits in two ministries (Health and Agriculture) and is affected by all the others. Agriculture relies on all the others for infrastructure, human capital and financing while being joined at the hip with the non-communicable diseases department of the Ministry of Health. Policy guidance on government programming and coordination therefore provides the state with a framework for implementation of its development agenda and guidance for implementation and support of eGovernment. Everything is interconnected/interdependent and that acknowledgement should be evident in how eGovernment is implemented as well as the sector strategic plans.
The Kenyan government has made strides towards better coordination, especially with the program-based budget approach and adherence to the medium term planning framework but a lot more needs to be done to ensure systems and personnel are on the same page as the those developing policy for coordination and integration. With minimal political interference. One way to make things better is to ensure those in the ICT Authority responsible for eGovernment have a seat at the table in the Medium Term Plan committee, the MTEF committee and the intergovernmental coordination institutions like IBEC and the Intergovernmental Technical Relations Committee.

For e- learning. I would wish to have the role of KICD very well stated as facilitative rather than policing. The policy should encourage teachers to invest in e-learning. It is very sad that our teachers retire as farming ,small business etc. I think teachers can build a goldmine if only they were well facilitated and trained in content development and have portals where they can upload to and make money and continue teaching .I would wish to see the Government set up studio space in every county for teachers to digitise content at highly reduced cost Jane On Friday, July 1, 2016 11:47 AM, Muchiri Nyaggah via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Will do so.

@ Jane, this is a very good point, thank you. Best Regards On 7/4/16, Network of non- formal Educational institutions via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
For e- learning. I would wish to have the role of KICD very well stated as facilitative rather than policing. The policy should encourage teachers to invest in e-learning. It is very sad that our teachers retire as farming ,small business etc. I think teachers can build a goldmine if only they were well facilitated and trained in content development and have portals where they can upload to and make money and continue teaching .I would wish to see the Government set up studio space in every county for teachers to digitise content at highly reduced cost Jane

It’s therefore very important that county governments and their institutions are recognised in the draft policy. I don’t see them mentioned even under Institutional Framework.

I think there’s definitely need for harmonisation. A good entry point would be the Council of Governors committee responsible for ICT. Being non-techies and already keenly aware of the development agenda they are implementing in the counties it would probably help to ‘de-silo’ the eGov conversation at the sub-national level. Thereafter convening the CECs for ICT together with their national government counterparts (Ministry and iCTA) into a policy forum would be create an opportunity to bring the public sector actors together to agree on harmonisation of standards, priority areas, timelines and to explore financing options. The CECs probably already convene under the CoG so there would be no creation of a new body as such. The input from the forum would be presented to the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council via the CoG Committee responsible for ICT and hopefully inform resource allocation down the chain.

@ Muchiri,
Many thanks for your intervention, how do we loop in structures at county government level given the social and economic investment we have made in the county governments through the devolution programme? is there need for harmonization?

Colleagues,
I believe eGovernment suffers most when the silo mentality is not addressed and when it is itself yet another silo. From the more mundane issues of lack of interoperability at the hardware or software level to the unwillingness of departments to collaborate across ministries due to perennial turf wars and the disconnect between those in technology planning/acquisition and the real world.
For instance, Agriculture, Health, Education, Transport, ICT, Labor and Finance have to coordinate. Nutrition sits in two ministries (Health and Agriculture) and is affected by all the others. Agriculture relies on all the others for infrastructure, human capital and financing while being joined at the hip with the non-communicable diseases department of the Ministry of Health. Policy guidance on government programming and coordination therefore provides the state with a framework for implementation of its development agenda and guidance for implementation and support of eGovernment. Everything is interconnected/interdependent and that acknowledgement should be evident in how eGovernment is implemented as well as the sector strategic plans.
The Kenyan government has made strides towards better coordination, especially with the program-based budget approach and adherence to the medium term planning framework but a lot more needs to be done to ensure systems and personnel are on the same page as the those developing policy for coordination and integration. With minimal political interference. One way to make things better is to ensure those in the ICT Authority responsible for eGovernment have a seat at the table in the Medium Term Plan committee, the MTEF committee and the intergovernmental coordination institutions like IBEC and the Intergovernmental Technical Relations Committee.

As the government automates there is need to look into business continuity. For example, when sending emails to some of the government bodies you find that the mailbox is full, or mail server is down for quite some time. During peak times when returning tax returns, website accessibility becomes as an issue. As it(Government) automates, there is need for compliance in business continuity. http://businesstrategistke.blogspot.com/ *"* What we are is God's gift to us.

@Barrack I would like to quote UNESCO: "ICT insofar as they have a direct impact on the way cultural expressions are created, produced, disseminated and accessed and play an increasingly pertinent role in the safeguarding and transmission of cultural heritage, can respond to major global challenges through the exercise of freedom of expression and the promotion cultural diversity." http://www.unesco.org/new/en/media-services/single-view/news/culture_and_ict... ICTs are an important reservoir in the urgent work of archiving Africa's traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions. But more than that, ICTs are sites and drivers of new cultural expressions (from animation to memes; film; e-books etc.) and as such, there is need to recognize, protect and promote the widespread use of ICTs in our new creative industries whose value in social and economic development is priceless. You just need to check #KOT on twirra on a day there is a hot topic in this country to see the creativity.So, is there a way we can use ICTs to protect the original work of Kenyan innovators in terms of legislation and technological infrastructure? Can these creatives on twitter start earning from their their work? I know this contribution can also be moved into the content part but I am looking at ICTs in culture and society. RgdsGrace
